Karneval, Fasching, Fastnacht

So you've all heard of Mardi Gras - well welcome to the Mardi Gras party time of Germany called Karneval, Fasching, oder Fastnacht.  Depending on where a person comes from exactly!!! I will say it is quite the hoot and cause quite a lot of fun :)

So continuing with Saturday - basically it started out as a lazy day - woke up ate some b-fast, you know the usual - only to then work out and burn some calories and to pack a bag and grab my mask supplies and head on over to Wehrda.  Normally that would be great, but Sarina and I had a pit stop to make... Media Markt to switch out the internet accounts.. to bad that was not as simple as we had hoped it would be!  But now that we have it undercontrol we shall see how this works.. ooo and how can I forget eating at SALADCHEN - best place ever - you can get a very fulling salad with 5 toppings free and a roll for 2,90 and if you want some turkey hen.. added in there it is only 3,40 its so good.. I am a full supporter of Saladchen and I think I may have found the new place to eat on wednesdays inbetween classes.. haha and guess what its HEALTHY!
Anywho then we parted ways and off to Wehrda I was for a night of fun fun fun!
We made our masks- Christina, Steph, Alie (Steph's friend from home) and me... all was going well until the glitter made its move - and then it was EVERYWHERE!! lol poor christina had it all over her floor and she was not even using it - she seemed pretty cool with it tho :) Thanks again!  Here are how some of them turned out :) It was sooo much fun I love arts and crafts! hehe

After our glitter attack fest haha - we were joined by a few other ppl to decide what we were up to for the night - but eventually beth was the only one that decided to join us and we were off to Nacht Salon to hit the dance floor :)  woo woo
So we were all pumped to get there and dance the night away - only to find out that it was a reagge dance hall music - which I mean over all I was still fine with - I love all kinds of music and if its gotta beat you can move to it. Some of the others well they were not so thrilled .. so we ended up staying till about 1:30 or so then we were going to catch a taxi but amazingly the N8 bus came around.. and we jumped on it taking it all the way back to Wehrda where I crashed that night in Christina's room on what is called Kayte's cushion <3 miss her!
The next morning we awoke and met the others at the bakery near the hauptbahnhof I had a blueberry muffin and then off we went :)  to Cologne for Karneval <3 the train ride all together was hmmm I would say almost 4 hours there - we got there around 2:30 ish are train was delayed met up with Christina's family friend and then walked around the town and enjoyed the scenery - have a look for your selves!!

 

Then after a couple of hours in Cologne witnessing the craziness we climbed aboard the train back to Marburg this time it only took us 3 hours to get home - it was quite an interesting day! 

----------------------------------------------------------

Monday was class but it was a class celebration day - we were able to dress up!!! So naturally I could not let an opportunity like this pass me by - so I decked my self all out in Hippie gear - even the earring with the help of Steph!! Who was a pirate, the class turned out pretty awesome :)   Check it!

The Fun did not stop there tho- Monday was Rosenmontag!  A day of celebration that is for sure!! So Marburg had to join in on this celebration it had its very own parade - Of course after eating at Saladchen (steph's & mine new fav place thanks to Sarina)  We watched the parade with a few others and then met infront of the Cinaplex to prepare to see the movie Kokowaah with the famous Til Schweiger and his Daughter, Emma.  Its a really good movie with some great music, one particular song that gets stuck in my head all the time well - here it is I wonder if this link will work but we can try right?? its called Stay by the Hurts.  Haha great name huh - well just give it a chance its quite addicting <3

and if you can see the movie - do that granted I say it in German but I really enjoyed it - it is kinda similar to "the Game Plan" but not exaclty and has different points and I think it is a bit more serious then the game plan but - to each there own right??
Well yes here are some pictures from the Marburg Parade :)

So I realize the pictures are mainly of us girls, but hey that's really what you want to look at right>? haha Sorry I thought I had more of the Parade but they didn't turn out as good as I thought - bummer oh well!
That was basically my Monday !!
Tuesday again with the everyday class from 9-1 ish.. lol give or take - both happen. But it still manages to be fun, lol that is all that matters oh and that I am learning something, well of course I'm doing that too! :P
Anyways we talked about sports on Tuesday - my fortay love it... on wed we are going to a fitness-studio - I can not wait!!!!!   Anywho on Tuesday we had group movie night and I watched Die Welle - it is about a experiment they did in California about how something could never happen again like what happened to the jews.... well this movie.. creepy but amazing all at once.. granted it is in German, but it does have English subtitles sooo If you don't mind reading well go for it!
Like I said wednesday was Fitness - studio.. it is only 15,80 a month so I think some others and myself my join for the next 2 months and get our lift on - they have free weights so it is most epically awesome and I am sore from benching yesterday - I deff feel it - but I love this Feeling!! the place is called Day and Night Sports
The rest of the day - had convo class learned about some new german bands - always a good thing and then met sam and Sarina at home and had an eventful night of studying/eating/singing to Ke$ha in german - Wir sind wer Wir sind, (we are who we are) - check it out-  VIDEO CLICK HERE
haha it was quite halarious.  OO and then we made Sam's computer talk.. lol in German so we had to spell this phonetically - tzu gile!  hahah. Great memories..

However, today was the first test of the Language class & I would love to say that I did awesome and I knew what I was doing, well correction - it caught me way off guard which just sent German down the tubes for today - it is not a german day folks it is a day of reckoning - ekkk.. it brought back those thoughts of self doubt.  I will banish them again but for now.. I'm dong my Hw chillin' with Sam updating this good ol' blog of mine and then making dinner hittin' up Schwarz Weiss and then Trauma with Sam & Steph & meeting up with Sarina- even though I have class tomorrow I'm gonna go out tonight - we only live once right? Might as well do it while we are young <3
