I have had a great time in Europe last summer. It was a new and exciting experience for me and the other students who went with. But, there were some bad things that happened to me (and others) while I was there (no, I wasn't mugged or shanked) but something else. My worst was at Salzburg. They hate Americans, they hate speaking English to us (I spoke German the whole time I was there) and they especially hate it when Americans eat too much. Anyway, I spent twelve days there, went to five European countries, was on a long and boring flight from Atlanta to Munich, and brought loads of souvenirs back. I would love to talk about my twelve day trip and the things that happened there.
Day 1 (June 28th 2007):
Got up @ 5:40 in the morning, did some last minute packing, went outside to say goodbye to all the animals, had some breakfast (I had pancakes and suprisingly a soda), my old man loaded the suitcases into the back of the car and left the house at about 6:30. While in Omaha, my old man kept missing the turn to the airport (eventually he found it). Once we arrived, we met Mrs. Burger and the other people who went on the trip, got our bags checked and sent off to the plane, and waited for two hours for our flight. After saying goodbye to our parents, we went through airport security. I made it through safely but, Maureen wasn't so lucky. Her boyfriend bought her a bottle of perfume from Victoria's Secret the night before we left . It was over three ounces and she had in compensated. She then bitched about it and then did more bitching throughout the trip. We then waited another hour and a half before our plane was ready. I had to sit next to my sister for that three hour flight to Atlanta and all she did was bitch. Once in the air, (and after we had our snacks. I had a bag of peanuts, some cookies, and my favorite soda) I took out my Ipod and seen how many songs I could listen to (I made it through 42 songs) before we landed in Atlanta. When we were about to land, I had to shut off my Ipod and I realized I couldn't hear anything. My sister had to help tell me what the attendant was saying. Once on the ground, we went into the terminal, got on a concourse and went to our gate. Still couldn't hear anything. Wandered the terminal, had lunch (me and my sister shared a seafood platter), went to a bookstore, read an issue of TIME magazine (which had JFK on the front page), and just hung out with my classmates near the gate. We finally boarded two hours later. When I went got on, I looked for my seat. I passed through first class, and seen that those seats looked soooo comfortable. I ended up in Zone 2 in the middle row of the plane with hard seats. I sat in the middle seat of the middle row with my sister on my left and Taylor Shore on my right, Ben Emeigh in front of my sister, Ben Emeigh's dad in front of me,some German guy in front of Taylor, and behind Maureen and Taylor were German guys and behind me was one of the Kohouts . I regained some of my hearing while in the terminal but it still wasn't all of it though. While on the flight, I seen the movie Breach and it was totally gay. I then played my gameboy advance until it was dinner. They gave us the choice of either Chicken or Pasta. I chose the pasta. It was bowtie noodles, covered in marinara sauce and mushrooms with a salad and my favorite soda (a coca cola) with a bar for dessert. After dinner, it was getting dark and everyone was starting to go to sleep. I tried sleeping but Ben Emeigh's dad kept rocking back and fourth and hitting me on the head. I didn't get one wink of sleep that night. Instead, I stayed up throughout the whole flight, read the books I've packed with me, and then I put my headphones back. They had Evanesence music videos on the screen and I listened to them for the rest of the night, or at least the screen told us where our flight was at.
