The first Monday's hour of my school day was Russian. Again some students arrived late and excused her Zugspätkommen with the excuse that the roads were cleared bad here. So we came to the topic of Russian roads so to speak, which finally ended in a hymn of praise, the teacher, on German roads. I had to smile, she said it about, as follows:
"Och! The streets and even the roads in Germany! Fantastic! Oh and just simply wonderful ... I was once in Leipzig, East Germany was as yet .... There are even bike paths! Can you imagine? Small sections of extra ways for cyclists! Oh yes ... Leipzig ... as there is a Zoo! A wonderful zoo ... "And once the
we discussed the same conversational tone struck yet another issue: the increased cost of public transportation. Yes, capitalism does not stop even before Cheboksary and so are the costs of an increased Trolleybustickets a ruble at a marshrutka even by 2 rubles. That has an impact on the monthly ticket. Instead of the usual 330 rubles (€ 8), we now have to fork out 500 rubles (12 euros). Can you actually get paid back about half if the parents write a letter. Since the writing of my parents so 'ne thing is, governs my host mother to me.
In a break I was looking for the Room of a German teacher on. I have not even told you that I really have this woman very much. She is always cheerful, helpful and have something of a love German grandmother, who reads to her grandchildren with stories and treats biscuits. We chatted a bit. She told me that I should keep in mid-February a lecture on "Germany" 30 minutes and the Russian. Great ... They also give me cassettes and a book of Pushkin's and Oneginschen (Evgeny Onegin) poems. They said it was important to read and hear, that would improve the language ability. I thanked him, because I'm really looking forward to this attention.
On Tuesday I learned that at our school for two weeks, "the Commission" will be. "The Commission", as it is called here, only awesome, judged the high school classes, observing the dress code, etc., are noted.
have also now all have a new timetable. I was overzealous and I have my hours independently written out and a schedule together. When I asked my YFU Competent me a new schedule together, I have a quality very few hours or days of the subjects overlap, they took one look at my own timetable to hand craft and said that they it will revise it, but for now would be perfectly fine, as I know, it will not work on him.
After school, went to the dentist's. I had the feeling of having a hole in the tooth and before it begins to hurt, I informed my host mother. Now we hear so much about Russian medicine ... I had been to Germany, drill to go through me, so I was scared of the dentist a visit here.
We went to the polyclinic. As I said, something like a small medical practice there does not seem to give (or very rarely).
At the entrance we had blue plastic tulips draw on our street shoes, which is usual here in medical institutions. With the funny little plastic bags on their feet stief Xjuscha sparkled and I the room of the dentist. I said goodbye to Ksjoscha with the words: "War may have learned to care for you ..." and entered the room:
A young, handsome doctor greeted me and told me to sit down. The room was small but decorated like a dentist's office I know of. Only the question of the dentist to his sister unsettled me:
"is used the cutlery?"
dentist: "Uh ... no ... but-but"
However, I sat down and told her that I have a fear Hole in the tooth to have. She looked in and calmed me by thought that I would have passed in time for the formation of a hole. She explained to me then on Russian Chinese trade what they would do now about it. I did not understand so he asked was: "Will it hurt?" Answer: "no." Well, I did not need to know more.
you sealed the tooth and said I should come back on Thursday.
Here are some pictures:
At three I found myself back in my school. Katja (YFU-states) has convened a meeting of the YFU Austauschler. In accordance with German punctuality is delayed two girls an hour, which of course something Katja angry. Katja greeted me by the way, saying, "Hey! You've lost weight! "I could snog the woman, because yes I did. From 57 pounds to 53, which I have now again my starting weight and I feel a fiddle .. only in this way on the edge ... where was I? Oh yes, we were sitting together now. The French and the American have already left and the boy, which is located in Kazan was not there, so we were four. A lot has happened.
A girl has grown terribly-designed 7 kilos! It has changed the way the family as their host parents, they did not want to say and phrases such as ". I wish I was in their piiep * Germany *"
Sophia speaks better Russian.
Clemens seems now totally against Russia and its reluctance to exchange. He talks bad and does not come out of himself. However, he seems to also have a few great host family.
Katja asked us from now: How are you? If you can handle? What was hard for you? What do you expect from the rest of exchange year? And so on.
many questions. Meanwhile, we conducted the interview in Russian, with some English words have been smuggled.
Katja encouraged us to participate in a classroom activity and to write good notes. I really am the only one that did something for the school! The others are only beginning to learn. Katja said that one should cut a slice of me and repeated the praise, sing what my physics and biology teacher to me and called my notes. I grinned a little embarrassed.
On the way to stop us talking to us. Terrible, as my German is very rusty! Talking about Skype or writing lyrics is not a problem, but when I talked, I threw out my interlocutors simple phrases, or just keep chatted in Russian.
fell on Wednesday at the temperatures to -23 degrees. We all hoped it would - be 35 degrees, so that we no longer have to go to school.
After school I was looking for headphones for my iPod Shuffle. This is a tiny iPod. He is so small that the knobs for volume ect regulation. Attached to the headphones are. So I was not ordinary headphones. It appears that the darn thing never give it here-I do wonder since 2 months of business. Sales pitch:
? Do they have headphones for an iPod Shuffle
? "For what" I'll get out
the broken headphones and share them.
"no. Something we have not. Where they have since bought? "
" In Germany. "
follows an irritated look.
Just as in the bookstore. I want to buy me a book with an audio book to take to heart the advice of the German teacher and read and hear.
having "a book with CD for learning the Russian Sprache?“
„Hmpf. Russische Sprache? Nein. Wozu brauchen sie das denn?“
„Ich bin aus Deutschland und würde gerne..“
„Aus Deutschland! Nein wie interessant! Das merkt man gar nicht!“
Es tut jedes Mal verdammt gut, wenn man solches Feedback bekommt. Wobei einfache Gespräche mittlerweile wirklich kein Problem mehr für mich darstellen. Nur Sachverhalte erklären ect. Fällt mir noch schwer.
-25°C am Donnerstag. Dies hatte zur Folge, dass die Schüler der Grundschule keinen Unterricht hatten. Menno.
Zweite Stunde war Biologie. Es warteten Tee und Würstchen im Schlafrock auf mich und Vladimir. Die Biologielehrerin forderte mich hektisch to properly access this, because after all she was a mother and I were here and my mother was far away, I now her daughter and she must now take care of me. On the class. I'm such a needy impression? But then she explained the reason for their affection for me:
Her father was German. Her sister lives in Dresden. Therefore, it would be generally inclined toward all Germans very well-she herself different from others: properly and on time, they said. The images of the preparation of Cabinet:
accompanied by the school Sweta me to the dentist because Xjuscha had an appointment with Sasha. The dentist sealed once the tooth and said I should come again next Tuesday over. She said about the following sense:
"Can you come again next week Tuesday?"
silence. I thought, no time or Haste? She looks at me and noticed my thinking Glance:
"Tuesday. Tuesday. Tomorrow is Friday. After that weekend, month, and then Tuesday .... "
" Yeah, I know it is, say, Tuesday. I wonder if I only have time or not, "I replied with a grin.
"Oh! You really very good Russian! "
Sweta could not resist not a short laugh.
Dasha went on Friday not to kindergarten, as the thermometer indicated 27 ° C. The mother remained with her in the Russian home.
On Saturday I met twice a stroke: the morning was the outside temperature -30 ° C! Xjuscha and I are tough and trudged to the bus stop. oh well can with knee-length boots and tights to paragraph also - - There I saw several women in rock who have 30 degrees ... a skirt
Here is a photo of Xjuschas eingefrosteten hair.
One advantage is the cold: the Trolley seats are free, as many students do not go to school (choose from temperatures of -30 degrees, the parents of younger children from temperatures of -25 ° C). Incidentally, I've been more than 10 days, always a seat in a trolley - a miracle!
followed in school blow number two: a sports teacher and a physical education teacher were drunk! They were not drunk, but drunk! It was suggested to me that this happen in sports teacher in combination with cold temperatures well .... if that's a particularly good image for "the Commission" is ...?
The school is the way also not very warm. I am happy with some time ago made a thick knit turtleneck sweater to have. Anton said to me today from the soul, when breathed into the air, and the process stopped short stopped with: "Well, you can see your breath yet!" Commented. Meanwhile, the inner window of the double window with a light Eisblumenschicht are covered.
After school Xjuscha snowed and I was still at a grocery store over to do shopping. There I saw seriously mulled wine on offer! Photographic evidence:
said the evening, the weather forecast for Sunday is already at -10 ° C. And another thing anders: Könnt ihr euch noch an die Waldbrände im Sommer in Russland aufgrund der Hitze erinnern? Diese waren ca . 500 Kilometer von hier entfernt- zu Deutsch: Der Wetterbericht sagte voraus, dass sich Temperaturen von 40 Grad wiederholen könnten. Sascha kommentierte meine Befürchtungen eines erneuten Waldbrandes mit: „Und wenn schon- wenn dein Flugzeug abstürzt kannst du bei „Lost“ mitspielen…“ Zum Glück bin ich ein Freund des Sarkasmus…
Liebste, eisige Grüße
Lotte
Fazit: „Es gibt Vorteile, welche sich bewahrheiten (bezügl. Alkoholkonsum) und wieder die sich als nicht wahrheitsgemäß herausstellen (bezügl. Doctor).
