This summer i think i spent the best 2 months of my life in krefeld, germany studying the german language, grammar, culture, phonetics, literature, and conversation. I lived with a host family in Toenisvorst, and they were the coolest people. Aside from school on the weekdays, i went to Cologne, Munich, Dusseldorf, Aachen, Kempen, Bonn, Heidelberg, Trier, Cochem, Fuessen (think Neuschwanstein), Koblenz, and a lot of cute small towns. I think the only bad part of the whole ordeal was that i didn't go to IRI, but since i was in Bavaria that weekend, i didn't mind too much. yeaah.... that and missing dance camp, but people that have more energy than me at a FIRST competition just scare me.
