Orientation Meeting - Winter Retreat

On the 18th and 19th of January we had an Orientation Meeting in Indianola, a city about two hours away from Washington. It was a Meeting for all the Inbounds of 2013/14 and future Outbounds, or as we call them "Newbies", of 2014/15. There are positive and also negative aspects about it:
Starting with the bad things: It made me realize again that there are already new exchange students for next year and that the end is not far away.
The good thing was that I met so many amazing people on that weekend. I got to see my loved inbounds again and got to know a lot of new people who are now a big part of my life. I don't know what it is, but you get close with exchange students really fast and that is a very special thing.
On Saturday we had speeches all day long and later in the evening a DJ came and we danced for hours. It was so much fun, because I love dancing so much! After that some friends and I talked until two in the morning. The next day we had speeches again until noon and then the inbounds had free time while the outbounds got a presentation together with their parents.
I am so thankful for getting the chance to meet so many awesome teenagers on my exchange!
Now some pictures which pretty much describe the fun we had…

Those people tho...

Life is too short to learn German - good that we know it already

Playing "Taboo" with foreigners is so funny

When there is this 6' 5" guy

Megan is my weirdest friend ever. I love her so much!
It's also weird that she looks so much like Nicole, who is staying at my house back home
