Drunk people, drunk people and more drunk people..

So yesterday started off with the brunch at school which was really nice :) We had loads of food and then second year organised some games. Sorry for the kind've blurry photos.. I don't know what happened to my camera?! 

 Food :)

 Crazy dancing to the Barbie song!

Me and Nina


After we went to Oktoberfest which was crazy, people were passed out on the grass.. it was only 3pm?! The tents there are huge and there's also a fairground with lots of rollercoasters etc :) A guy started speaking to me in German so I replied and he assumed I was from Munich and was shocked when I said I was from England haha hopefully this means my German is getting better! it was pretty cool but it started raining and you have to queue for hours to get into a tent so we left and went for a coffee in the centre of Munich instead.












Oktoberfest!

In the evening I went over to the Swedish Ghetto (again the tube was just filled with drunk people, although everyone's pretty friendly and speaks to you which is nice!) and we had some drinks there, pretty much all of my Saturday!

Today my German Auntie came to visit me and give me a TV, food etc, so now I can watch German TV woo! Now to sleep and get ready for another week at Iwanson, still loving it!
Have a good week,
Larissa

Its the weekend!

Just a short post today.. looking forward to my lie in tomorrow!!! Today floorwork was hard as I have no arm strength (really need to start doing press ups haha) but it was still fun :) I now have a full length mirror!!! I carried it up the stairs this morning before going to school. Sorry you have to see me in my pyjamas in the picture, I'm just too cool being in my pyjamas at 21.20 on a Friday night ahaha

Also maybe stretchings paying off? Although I still feel stiff everyday from stretching haha my body's still not used to it :)
Tomorrow I'm going to a brunch with the whole school and then to Oktoberfest! My Aunts coming round to see me Sunday and we'll probably end up at Oktoberfest as well!
Have a good weekend
Larissa :)

Thursday

Sooo update on mirror, I went back down there this morning again (if anyone sees me they must think I'm mental going down to look at a mirror every day at half 6 in the morning) and I managed to unstick the top bit of the two mirrors! Yay! So I think I'll go down again tomorrow morning and take both mirrors up to my room and pull them apart there hahaha :)
After school we went shopping, we went to a sports shop and the guy who worked in there was so high he followed us around talking to us about Italy ahaha, I also bought my first german purchase which is just a top to roll around in on the floor in dancing so not very exciting ---------------------------------------->
I went to the bakery to get cake on my way home and the guy laughed at me for a while as they didn't have the cake I wanted so I was a bit lost :(
Umm other than that my washing is piling up and I need to tidy my place!

Food looks yummy though right?








Almost the weekend!

May need to practice my English..

Feeling tired but motivated after a good day at school :) I got asked as the only English girl what the bottom bit of your arm is called in English.. and I didn't know, so already learnt something new today! Its called your forearm :) I also had to show how to do a press up in class which was so bad someone actually thought I was joking ahahahah (maybe I will eventually get some muscles in my arm?!) Today was sunny sunny sunny and I decided to get the underground home for fun to see all the Lederhosen and Dirndls :) Quite excited to go to Oktoberfest! I also found out that next week on Wednesday we don't have school as Germany's celebrating the reunion of the East and West! It made me realise that since I've got here as I have no TV or Metro newspaper I literally have no clue about the news or anything that's going on in the world, someone may have to fill me in!
Update on the mirror: This morning I went down there in an attempt to carry it to my room but its stuck to another mirror! Waaa I tried pulling it but I'm too weak (stupid arm muscles not being strong enough!) I think I'll try again tomorrow morning :)
Other than that my knee is hurting and I still have lots of bruises...

Busy bus, sunny day and bruises

So today I'll share with you how lovely my legs look at the moment - in other words covered in bruises! Hopefully I will soon learn how to survive floorwork without getting bruised :) We had Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, half an hour speaking with our "form teacher", Contemporary technique and Floorwork. We also did floorwork in Contemporary and Contemporary technique which is why my legs have currently died. This morning when I got the bus it was so busy :( busy buses are worse than busy underground tubes! Although when I got the bus home I saw it approaching the bus stop and decided to run to get it, I felt like superman :)
Not much else has happened.. might be going into school on Sunday as my friend's booked a studio to practice (he is mad, I was planning to spend my Sunday sleeping) but I think this might be more productive haha. We have a whole school brunch this Saturday organised by the second years which is nice and probably will go to Oktoberfest afterwards!
Other than that I've found a little full length mirror downstairs in the cellar and I think (if my german's right) you're allowed to take anything down there?! So I'm deciding when is the best time to carry a mirror that I'm hopefully allowed to take up 2 flights of stairs to my room haha :) I will update you when I've successfully done it!
Oh and from washing like a week ago, turns out I've lost one sock :( Its very sad
Another long day tomorrow!

Monday

Today my muscles are hurting, I feel like I'm not used to dancing again only because of having two days off. Today I had Ballet, Contemporary, Contemporary technique and Jazz; in Contemp Technique we had to push each others feet into the perfect pointe to make them more flexible, now my ankles feel sooo tired! After I went food shopping and now I'm waiting for the tumble drier to be done.. Not very exciting haha, what is exciting though is that today was the first time I returned my Pfandflasche! I got 1 euro 35 from it :) My flight home for Christmas is also booked! Coming back Saturday 15th December and then going back to Munich on the 5th January :) Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Going to have some green tea and then sleep before tomorrows long day,
night!

My little flat and more

I tried to make coffee from my coffee maker! After youtubing how to do it and spending 10 minutes trying to open a tin (turns out I was just opening it the wrong way) I managed it! Woooo coffee

Here are a few pictures of my place as I've actually tidied it now...

 Thanks for the cards guys! Sticking them up on my wall so keep them coming :)

Yay fooooooood

 Sunny today!

 Being a good German and collecting my various Pfandflasche; need to actually recycle them/take them back to the shop now..




Tidy bookcase (note how are there aren't really books on it) 


Having a lazy Sunday today which will only consist of going down to the bins and shaking out my carpets,
resting for another week at Iwanson!
