Silence Is Not Golden Here

Pics?

I just put them back into their hide box to warm up - I'll get some when they've had a chance to settle down and figure out what happened to them.

Aww... poor babies! I had one with a boot and he was constantly pulling his foot out from under himself because he kept yanking on it.

Yeah... these poor little things keep rolling over on their backs and kicking their feet in the air.

We are literally not allowed to be visited by friends or family while we're there.
It's like a boarding school.

*Turns head up to the side*
Says "Rubbish!"
(with a bit of British/Scottish in the voice, ever so much)

Seriously though, that doesn't make much sense. How do you get a good, round education from Germany without being able to go out and experience it, especially in 2 weeks?

That's the puzzling part. As my 60% Scottish dad would say, "it's a bunch of malarcy!"

And the way they teach SUCKS.
I learned so much more in a classroom than I did with their program.

Well, that depends. Are you learning about Germany, or displaying your level of education? If the latter, then you don't need to see any of it. If the former, then key points are more important than partying. Still... at LEAST insist on being allowed to try Dampfnudeln. In vanilla sauce.

It's about language experience.
I do get to horseback riding and rock climbing, though.

Lol. 21st century teen ingenuity.

Not much to complain about, then. My language experience in Germany was the discovery that my public school teacher wasn't teaching me functional German, but a border dialect that nobody actually used - and that half of what he was teaching as Deutch was actually in French, the other language that he taught. It certainly explained why the classes were so confusing.

That sucks. Yeah, I guess there isn't much to complain about.
I'm making a stink because I don't like the way they teach but I just need to get over it and learn.
