My Aunt's Wedding
I don't know where to start, there is so much that has happened and actually there is no time to report on everything. Nevertheless I will get started now, because if I don't I will never finish catching up.
Sunday: I slept until 8am, and then I woke up. My mom came in my room to give me instructions on what to do with the clothes... I looked at the time and figured that 4 and a half hours are not nearly enough sleep, therefore I continued sleeping until 10:30. This was when my grandma called for some final instructions concerning my aunt's wedding, or whatever. The phone rang just too noisy to not wake up. You know I am very different from you in that point. By then, I had slept for just about 7 hours, which was not too bad. After waking up, I did the clothes and started blogging from last night, while eating rests of the food from EsTriDisk for breakfast :)
15 minutes before we had to leave, I got dressed and then we left to the place where the wedding would take place. It was really nice, it started with a show of eagles and vultures and some other birds like that... I didn't think it was too interesting, but oh well, it was free. The reason why I didn't like it that much, was because they made too much of a show of it, instead of informing the people more. The information we got was interesting though, I am always eager to learn more. After that we walked around in the "zoo of birds" consisting of eagles, vultures, falcons,... some of them were really pretty while others could be called ugly. In the next few days I will post some of my pictures on photobucket, but probably not today.
After the birds we made a tour in the museum of the castle. It is not a castle to "live in", but it is for defense, therefore it wasn't pretty at all. Some of the walls are up to 3 meters (9 ft) strong!! The lady who made the tour is living in that castle. Now you are asking yourself, why I said before it is not to live in, well, I should have said the reason it was built was for defense. This made the tour 20 times more interesting than the tour in Hohenschwangau :) or even more. Actually it was one of the most interesting tours I ever witnessed. You felt like you were part of the history of this castle and part of the life that is so usual for a castle. It was a cool feeling.
Then we continued to the restaurant in the castle. We were going to get dinner there. As a welcome they had prepared some special "Middle Ages Drink". It was meet - honey wine. Whoever didn't want to have alcohol got apple juice with spring water. This was served in the horns of rams. I thought that the horns weren't real, but my sister asked and they were!! Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures from the beginning, therefore I can't show you how that looked like. Now the food was really great, we had some bread in the beginning, which was so yummy that everyone ate more than one should have, not only more, but way more!! So after that we got a salad with mushrooms, tomatos, carrots and lettuce. The dressing was extremely tasty and I really enjoyed it. It continued with a soup served in a Brötchen (I forgot the English word for it, and roll doesn't seem right, since it was a quadrant). You had to hurry to "drink" it, because if not, the soup would have dripped through the bread. The soup was again very delicious, but the bread seemed a little old, only the parts were the soup made it soft were good in taste. After that I was pretty much full and the main dish had not yet come. As expected I couldn't finish my main dish, there was just to much on it. Three large pieces of zucchini and 5 large pieces of eggplant covered with eggs and cheese (even though I don't like eggs, it was edible :)) and some pasta. For this plate I can definitely show you a picture.
One thing that made the atmosphere really great was this hired entertainer in the manner of the Middle Ages. He was dressed like in the old days with those weird shoes and everything. His props were also thing used in that time. It was just hilarious sometimes to watch him. Everyone cracked many, many times. I will not type all of this out now, if you are interested I can tell you more about it, the next time we talk (if I won't have forgotten by then). The food including the desert that still got served took 4 hours. Therefore we came home at 11:30 and I was so freakin' tired.
This morning, it was very hard for me to get up, but after I made it, everything went all right until I came home. The good thing was, that I had two hours less in the afternoon, which gave me the opportunity to take a nap. This felt just great and this is the reason why I can stay up this long. I even practiced one and a half hours of violin and I did some French vocabulary.
Oh, yeah, I got my French test back. As far as I know (this is what Anna Theresa told me) I got the best grade, and it is "only" 12 1/2 points. I wonder if there is someone better than me. For example Alexandra could be better. Actually I don't care about the others, I am just glad, that my year didn't start out too horribly, even though I wanted to get 15 points. I hope that my daily studies in French will pay off. Other than that, nothing really interesting went on today. Oopsie, I forgot to tell you that the renovated our Mensa and we even got new furniture. It is now very pretty and clean. I hope it stays that way. The threw away all the nasty couches and tables. I will take a pic of it in the next few days if I remember.
This has to be it for today, since there is still homework awaiting me and it is already 11pm.

I didn't know it was your aunt's wedding on Sunday. You told me that it was just a rehearsal. Either you mis-spoke or I didn't understand correctly :(
Anyway I am glad so many exciting things are going on in your life. That is so cool that you got to see and experience really exotic things. And I congratualte on performing well on your French test. You never fail! Good for you.
I hope you are also successful in getting enough sleep. I know this is quite a challenge, but you can do it!

Well actually I am doing horribly in getting enough sleep, but that is all right, I am used to it...
