Schwimmen in das Leuze

Hi!
Yesterday we went to school, as usual, in the morning. Claire and Grace gave their presentation on a day in the life of a Burroughs student (much differnent, i must say, than that of a Ferdinand Porsche Gymnasium student) to a ninth grade english class. Then Will gave his presentation on sports in the US. We spent the rest of the class hour in the back of the classroom, giggling about the students's british vocabulary. After grosse pause (a twenty minute break in which the germans eat one of their many snacks for the day) we gathered in another ninth grade english class and presented again. This time we stuck around for questions and Grace got invited to a birthday party.
After yet another set of presentations, I went to art class with my partner Alina. We listened to american pop music; i suppose to inspire our "colors in motion" theme. After that, school ended for the weekend!
Together, we trekked to das Leuze, mineral water pool with saunas and tanning beds. Of course, a McDonalds run was factored into our commute. Swimming in bubbles was über fun. Frau Russel chillaxed poolside with her sunglasses on and a phone in her ear. So glam. Frau Abt walked around the pool snapping photos. She was wearing wintry clothes, in what Sophia called, "the most opposite of a swimsuit." After getting really crinkly, Sophia, Grace, and I went to the saunas, despite the Fraus warnings that they were naked saunas. With our towels on, we entered the naked zone and explored the many saunas available. One was lemony-scented, one was finnish style (?), and one was 100 degrees Celcius.
Upon exiting one of the hotter rooms, we stumbled across what could easily have been a hallucination from high temperatures. AN ICE MACHINE. By this time, the majority of us have begun to feel the effects of drinking only carbonated beverages, water included. One of the only things i miss from home is still water (no salt!) in a glass with ice cubes.
After a relaxing day in das Leuze, we headed home to eat dinner. I had a southern specialty, spaezle with lentils and some kind of wurst. I learned that I love German food. Then a few of us went to a discotheque and cut the rug. I went home and dreamed about ice.
