A not so great evening turned good

There are things that I wish I did every day, but just don't, one of them is just to blog, just to keep things interesting. Another is to take pictures every day, but I don't do that either. And the third is to email my parents a few times a week, which I also haven't done. The last mentioned thing resulted in me writing an approximately five page long email to them, which they may or may not read all the way through. No, they probably will, my mom will probably print it out to read, which I would also do with an email beast like that.

Since being back here, life is much quieter, which I dislike, but really fun things come up as well. Like Saturday: the Catholic fraternity invited us, other Catholic kids and friends, to join them on a hike and then lunch. I went unprepared, the hike lasted three hours, and I had no scarf and was wearing my cute Asics. However, I don't have real hiking shoes and it was fine. The shoes are still a little dirty, but that is the great thing about leather, they clean pretty easily. There only about 10 of us all together who went on the hike, and I only knew two people who were going. It was fun to meet people, and it was a perfect November day for it. After the long hike, a roasting pig on a spit was waiting for us! There were more of the brothers there as well. The problem was that once we got there, we stopped walking and it got pretty cold. Most of the time spent there was in front of the fire just keeping warm. The food was great! And most of the people there were really nice, but I was quiet almost the whole time I was there. I was cold and wanted to go home after I had eaten. The problem was that my bike was locked up with Jonathon's, because we came together. And he didn't want to leave right away. Which meant we stayed until about 7pm when the remaining guys decided to finally pack up.

I was quite miserable for about three hours, sitting in front of the fire, not talking. But once we were back in Greifswald, and the bikes were unlocked from each other, I relaxed a lot, and was also able to take my coat off. As silly as it sounds, taking my coat off made a huge difference, just being able to relax. So the evening ended great, had my first Glühwein, hot spiced wine, and joked around with the guys for the next few hours. It made me really glad that I had stayed in the end.
