GEEEEEEEEEERMANS
Cool pic #572.
Hello, my fine hobbit friend. I feel rather sick at the moment, as I have just eaten a lump of white chocolate with food coloring on. But anyway, tomorrow our German German teacher (yes, a German teacher who is in fact German herself) wants us to say a 1-minute speech on where we live. Well, I can tell you, from where I live (in the middle of nowhere) even if I was speaking in English I wouldn't be able to fill that 1-minute space. A school, a church, and a sports centre...that's it in my village. I...am so screwed. Not only that, the speech is in front of the whole class, with no notes. Really, I should be learning it now, but I thought I'd be nice and let you read all about this. Aw, aren't I kind??
Today in PE, our new topic is volleyball. I thought to myself, "This is going to be too easy. Just hitting a ball over a net...ANYONE can do that!" But I was so wrong. So very wrong. I couldn't be any wrongier. Because I am vertically challanged (in other words... SHORT), the ball would just get over the net. To show you how short I am, I can say...I could walk under the net very easily - without bending over/backwards. I am also a ball target. Ever since I was playing dodgeball about 4 years ago... It was one of those sponge balls, a very old one. It flew at me, and hit me in the eye. 10 year old dust flew into my face, causing a very red eyeball. Ever since then, balls fly at me from EVERYWHERE. Today's damages: fingers, wrist, back, left side. In less than an hour. FUN FUN FUN.
I...I think I should learn my ever-so short German speech now.
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEetc
