21st Birthday and happenings during the month of MAY!

Hey so I definitely did not get to totally update my blog yet because I have been busy with presentations and writing a paper for my European Union class. I leave tomorrow for GREECE!!! I am sooo incredibly excited for it, it is the one trip that I HAD to do here, I have wanted to go to Greece for so long! My friends Kelly and Shane are going with me, we are going to Athens first for a couple days, and then taking a 5 hour ferry to Santorini. We will be gone until June 9th! I have that paper due June 9th, so that's why I have been busy writing that, ugh. It's really weird getting used to having school during the summer, definitely not something I want to do again! Anyway I thought I would at least delay the rest of my blogs to tell what has been going on during the month of May.
The month started out with my 21st Birthday cookout! Of course I had to dress up in my new dress from H&M, gosh I am going to miss that store when I get home...the closest one is in Chicago. My friends and I had a cookout by the lake/pond that is right behind my apartment, it was an awesome day too, well until it started raining right as we were packing everything up. Everyone my age usually goes all out for their 21st, but since I have been able to drink since I got to Germany, it really wasn't as big of a deal as it is for everyone else back in the states. We had a great time though. We cooked a ton of Kebabs and corn and had lots of yummy desserts! I was happy to have people come and help me celebrate since I didn't have my family there this year. Anyways here are some pictures from my 21st Birthday!















HAHA, lots of jumping pictures :) It was a really fun day!

The rest of May has kind of been a blur...I haven't done too much, just been hanging outside a lot since the weather has been in the 70s and 80s :) I have been pretty busy with school, presentations, and papers to write. I also have been anxiously waiting for this Greece trip the whole month! Laying on a beach and doing all kinds of fun summer stuff for a week, who wouldn't be excited for that!! I need my vitamin D :) It was way too long of a winter. Anyway I will definitely make sure I get this blog totally updated when I return from Greece, I know I will want all of these blogs for years to come! I hope everyone is doing great back at home...it is sooo crazy for me to think I only have 2 months left here from today! So surreal, it seems like yesterday that I hopped on that plane in Moline and jetted off to Germany! It has been the best experience of my life, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love you all so much and I hope you guys still read this blog and at least look at pics!!! Miss you guys a ton!

Auf Wiedersehen!
