30.3. - 1.4.

Diary by Carolin Pauer

Friday 30.03.

Actually it was the last day, the pupils in Bavaria had to go to school, but for me the school ended on Wednesday. I was very ill and I had a rash on my body, so the doctor said, I had to stay in bed. So the only thing I could do was watching TV, sleeping, talking to my family and eating. This morning I had breakfast with my mum, (who stayed away from work, because of my illness) very late. It was about 12 o`clock a.m. Then I was alone, because my mom went to cosmetics. This time I spent reading a funny book about daily life and watching TV. At about 4 o`clock p.m. my whole family came back (my dad and my sister had been at work). I made coffee for us, which we had together, so everybody had the chance to tell the others what had happened during his/her day. I think this is an important aspect for a good family life. Later I was called by a friend, who wanted to have knowledge of my illness.
This day was very boring, I was glad, that tomorrow, the 3 days of staying in bed and being careful with my body, that meant no sports, would be over.
At 6.30 p.m. we had dinner, my mum cooked rice with vegetables. It was very delicious, my mum is one of the best at cooking. Later I watched my daily soap opera, which is called : “Everything which counts”. Tomorrow I wanted to be fit, so I decided to go to bed very early.

Saturday 31.03.

Like every Saturday in my life, I got up very late. But for today I had many plans. The weather was fine, so I decided to go inline-skating with my sister after breakfast.
On weekends we eat very long, so we combine it with lunch. I was totally glad, that today I`was allowed to do sports again. The skating-tour took about 2 hours. It was real fun. When we came back home, I had to check which meal I wanted to cook, because every Saturday if I have enough time, I have to cook for my family. So I cooked “Asian food “, and then I had to jump under the shower very quickly, because my boyfriend was going to arrive in 1 hour and otherwise I would have been be in a hurry. He wanted to go to the cinema with me to watch the movie “Mr. Bean makes holidays”. I hate Mr. Bean, but I brought sacrifices J . The movie, which wasn`t very funny, ended at 11 o`clock p.m. so it was the last thing I did this day.

Sunday 01.04.

On this morning, the breakfast was very special. We call it “salmon-bubbly-breakfast” It`s my favourite. About 2 o`clock p.m. me and my parents had to drive to Munich, to visit my grandma in hospital. I wasn`t very glad about it, because outside the sun was shining and there were 1000 other possibilities, what I could have done. Well I see my grandma very rarely, so there was no choice for me. We stayed in hospital for one hour and then we went to “Leopoldstreet”, to sit there on the terrace of a nice cafe and got a tan from the sun. It seems to me, that this day was running away from me*g*, because when we came home, my mum began to cook while I were hanging around and doing nothing. Today for dinner there were noodels with mushroom sauce for me, for the rest of my family there was chicken with noodels. Well, I`m vegetarian. So I can say that the day was nearly over, the last thing I did was watching the movie “Troja”, because none of my friends had time this evening, so that we could have had a nice time togehter with, of course, talking a lot like all girls do! *g*

Diary by Sebastian Griesmeier

Today I want to talk a little bit about my daily life, especially the life at the weekends.
Therefore I want to tell you now what I was doing all the time during one ordinary weekend.
I chose the weekend from Friday, the 30.03.07, to Sunday, the 01.04.07.
Usually my weekend starts in the evening of Friday.
So I will start to tell there, too.

On Friday evening there was a big tournament of cards in my village. We played “Schafkopf”, that´s a typical Bavarian game, which almost nobody outside Bavaria knows =)
In this evening I was quite the underdog, because the other (=older) people have sooo much experience that they nearly never make a mistake.
Nevertheless it was a funny and amusing evening.

On Saturday I had to wake up very early, because I went to a wellknown Fitness-Studio with my Mum. I hope the Power-Training will be successful for me, because now I don´ t have really much muscle. And it´ s important for me to have a quite strong body.
The lunch-meal on Saturday was “lentils with sausages and macaroni”. - Delicious !
After lunch I helped my father change the tires at the car. It took a long time, because we made a mistake , so we had to start from the beginning again. After that I went to my room and checked the E-mails and chatted a little bit with my friends, especially with my Brazilian-friends.
And then it was already time to go out.
In the evening I met some friends and we went to a dance club!
It was a great evening ! We were dancing almost all the time and had great fun. I´ve just begun with learning dancing, so I was very exciting for me to see such good dancers. I am sure I never will be as good as them =)

Of course, on Sunday I slept very long.
I got up at 11 o´clock.
Before lunch I read an exciting book. “Nachtzug nach Lissabon”.
Today the lunch was rice with vegetables
After lunch I rode my bicycle and took some nice photos of my village, because a Brazilian friend wanted to see some typical German houses!
I had just finished shooting pictures when my parents also took their bicycles and said “Let´s make a bicycle tour”. The weather was beautiful , so I said yes. 25 km in 90 minutes!
After that I sent the photos to my friend and chatted a long time.
He was so happy the see the real Germany, not only the Germany during the Football-Cup.
And in the evening I watched “Troy” on TV.
