The Best Day

I know, I know. I haven't posted anything for over a week. I'm sorry. I would love to say it's because I've been out doing fabulously awesome things, but that wouldn't be entirely true. I've just been working a bunch and when I'm not working I just haven't been motivated to sit and write for hours and hours. I say hours and hours because I have about 5 post ideas in my head (and pictures to go along with them). I would just rather spend time with J & L our Skype with my family, whom I miss dearly. (Especially my mom. She is the best. And she loves me more than her other children. ;) And she is counting down the days until I am back home. Was that good, Paula?)

So it's only 2 p.m. here, but it has been a great day. From the time I woke up I've been in a great mood. Which is weird because it's Monday...who loves Mondays?! Apparently I do, for today at least. In school we took two official practice A1 tests. The A1 is the first German language test you take as you work towards citizenship. I haven't taken an official one yet, but everyone else in my class has already taken the test. I am not going to lie, I'm a little nervous about taking this test later this month. Everyone I talk to about it tells me something different. It's hard, it's easy, it's all in German, it's formal, it's casual and conversational and in English. What the heck?!?!

I was even a little nervous about the practice test because it was all German, formal, and all around intimidating. Now, I hate to brag, but I did awesome. Like high B, almost an A awesome. So, that makes me feel so much more at ease for the test in a few weeks. Awesome day becomes even more awesome.  :)

Today just keeps getting better too! I'm buying my ticket to go to London in December. I'm SOOOOO excited for that :D Mondays are also ice cream day. When I pick up J & L from school we always get ice cream on Mondays. Everyone deserves to have something to make their Mondays awesome, even 6 and 8 year olds!

Now the only thing that could make this day truly legendary would be mexican food. I might miss mexican food more than I miss my family (I also might be exaggerating). So tonight I'm cooking mexican...or at least a watered down version of it. The kids wouldn't eat legit mexican, which is unfortunate. They have no idea what they are missing.

So..yeah. Moral of the story is today is a great day :D

And I promise I will post more this week :)
