Lessons and values ​​I have learned during my stay in Germany

 Living in Germany has taught me many things, not only about another country, but also about myself. This experience is helping me grow as a person and become more independent.

One of the most important values I have learned is autonomy. Being far from my family means that I have to organize my time, prepare my school things and be responsible for my daily life. At the beginning it was a bit difficult, but now I feel more confident.

I have also gained maturity. Traveling to another country, adapting to a new family and speaking another language makes you stronger. Sometimes you feel a little lost, but you learn how to solve problems by yourself.

Another important part of this trip has been socializing. I met many new people, both German and Spanish, and I improved my communication skills. Even if my English is not perfect, I try to speak without fear.

I also learned how to manage my resources, especially money and time. You start thinking more before spending.

Finally, I discovered many things about German culture and their way of life. This Erasmus is an opportunity that I am really taking advantage of.

Arrival in germany

My mum brought me, Alejandro and Yaiza to the airport at 9 o'clock, so we could take the plane relaxed. We completed the papelwork and entered the plane. I was so exciting and nervous as well for meeting my host family. The flight was quite calm, and when we got to Germany there was so many snow, all the landfarms, forests, towns and roads was covered by a pretty tight snow layer. We arrived at the airport, but we didn't know where go to meet our host-families! Following some signs of lugage, we entered a fast train which brought us to a large room with so many exits. We continued following that signs and we got to the lugage room, where waiting for our lugage got it. Then we asked somme local workers to find the exit, and they showed us the way. And... there were our host-family!!! We greet each other, and I went to their house. They showed me the house, and I unpacked my clothes in my room. I was really surprised because they had a sauna! Later, at half past six, we had dinne...

First day at school

Imagen
 I woke up at 6:30 and I had a fast breakfast and at 7:05 we left the house. It war really snowed and soooo beautifull. I really like how the snow stand on the tree branches and doesen't fall. I went with Mona to the bus stop, where we took a bus to the school. I had tecnology,  but the teacher wasn't there, so Alejandro(my friend) and I went to the library, there we didn't have something to do, so we explored the school. It has 3 flats with many classrooms and wide aisles. It also have a canteen, a assembly hall and a large yard when the kids can play. Then I had phisics, Alejandro and I ate on the canteen and finally we played basket at sports. I had a very good feelings about this school, all the people looks nice! Mona and I took the train and the bus for getting home, then I studied some spanish school stuff, then we had dinner and we went to bed. Here is a picture of my timetable of germany

First weekend

On my first weekend in Germany I did many things, and it was really funny. On Saturday, all the Spanish students went to the bowling alley with our German partners. At the beginning I thought I was going to play very bad, but finally I did some good throws and I even won one game! We were laughing all the time and talking about the differences between Spain and Germany. It was a very good moment to know each other better. Later that weekend, Mona and I went for a walk around the lake of Weßling, the village where she lives. Everything was covered with snow and the landscape looked like a postcard. The lake was partially frozen and the trees were completely white. It was very quiet and relaxing, very different from my city in Spain. On Sunday we went ice skating with Alejandro, Chiara and Mona. At first I couldn’t keep the balance and I almost fell many times, but after some minutes I improved. Alejandro fell once and it was very funny. We stayed there for a long time until we were very...
