Tales of a Midwestern Twirl Girl

So it started around 3 pm on friday when me, katie, ally, marsha and stephanie got on the train with the plastics (thats what 4 of our partners are called) to Mannheim. In Mannheim there is a big stadium like thing where you can watch the soccer games on this huge flat screen. It took 45 minutes to get INSIDE the Rosengarten. We never even got into the actual 'stadium' it was too full. So with about 100 to 200 other people we went down to the basement and watched the Germany vs. Argentina game. Us 5 (the plastic got inside to the stadium) were all sitting there when a group of like mid 2o's year old guys come and sit by us. They were already drunk but spoke pretty good english. They were hilarious drunks. Alas Germany won the game and we packed onto the crowded train back to Frankenthael. me and Ally had a play date set up. I slept over at a persons house i barly knew. But before that. all the plastic were going to go to a club but we didnt have any fake ids (18 or older) so they dropped us off at some bar in frankenthael called the galery. After a drink we went in search of french fries and or ice cream. We found uor ice cream (its an addiction now..) and this AMAYING spinny thing in the middle of the pedestrian only road. it was like a spinning rod with a circular platform and we probably spent a good hour on that. that is until a drunk italian (italy had just won) old guy comes up and tried to get us to go on it with them. Needless to say, we ran away. then on saturday, we again went to mannheim for shopping. I bought a ring from H&M and an adorble peach and grey striped shirt with about 8 buttons. I loved it. In mannheim i saw MAUD!!! The French girl from my german class! It was great seeing her again. About an hour of being home, we left AGAIN to go to this festival. It was much like the Waukesha county fair with rides, food, beer ya know. and i was sitting there making friends with some of the other exchange students when these goth guys come up with alcohol on their breath. Andy and Johann were they're named. The weird thing was that they didnt seem drunk when all teh sights of their tokens, proved they were definitly. We had a good time making fun of them and i got hit on my Johann but then *thankfully* the lovely MAUD came to rescue me. And we talked and took some pictures. We left around midnight and marsha, matie me santrine and julie packed into the car. The Americans thought we were going home..wrong we went to Mannheim to just walk around. The river was pretty but we were exchausted and left around 2. I stayed up talking with mi famila and trying to get ahold of my best friend who was leaving for the Dominican Republic this morning. I slept uintil noon and now im just relaxing until 6 were im off to the same festival! yay for summer!
