soaking in the sun

The last couple days I have mainly been sitting outside in the sun and reading. I slept a little too but mainly I read. That was well needed I can tell ya! During the week with all the school stuff and other things going on I simply don't have the time to read anymore, which is really sad cause I love getting my mind off of things by diving into a story that is totally not mine. When I read, I picture the characters and the surroundings and it feels like being in a different world. That's like the perfect way to escape daily-life. So now you know why I miss reading a good book. :)

My parents went to the United States of America for vacation for two weeks. I was so freakin' jealous! :D haha imagine that :D They went to New York City for a few days too. It's funny to think that they were right in that same spot where I was when I started my little adventure abroad! Not only that but they brought with them so many things that reminded me of so many things in the US! That was just awesome! :)

Sooo.. Tomorrow is the first of May and that is a holiday in Germany. Sad thing is it's on a Sunday this year which means we don't get a day off. Also tomorrow marks the end of my Spring break and I definitely could use at least one more week of relaxing in the sun with my book.
Anyways, back to tomorrow: The tradition for May-1st is that you go bike riding. There are tons of places everywhere where you can stop and eat and drink and take a break. It's a nice thing. Tomorrow we're gonna be a group of at least 24 people... Maybe even more! I've never been with such a big group but I think it's gonna be fun. In the end we're going to have a BBQ in my town which is nice, cause then I don't have to ride too far back home, especially since school starts the next day.. :D  So not too much drinking for us... At least we're not supposed to :D Hahaha :D

Well, I might have some pictures for you guys tomorrow :)
Hope you have a great night at Prom for those who (still) live in Kennewick and go to high school ;))

Good night,
Eileen
