The Blog of a wanna-be German Australian: Cherry Ripe Swirl: The Highlight.

Sometimes life is bitter, sometimes it's times that make you want to cry but then you have the times that you know it's expected of you to cry, where you want to cry but don't want to cry.
Yup, it's been that sort of day.

So lets rewind and explain the whole situation.
It's been four weeks.

Four whole weeks with a person that I've come to love and adore.

It's gone quick but really slow at the same time, anyway, enough of my procrastination, lets get to the story.

So I woke up today, I saw that Nick and Eva were shuffling and getting out of bed, I whimpered and threw the covers over my head, what seemed like five minutes later, I woke up properly and got myself a drink then I thought, eh, fuck it and got up and watched a few videos of my youtube crew.

Then Eva and Nick came home from my brother's softball game and we went out to see the block, mum showed everyone through the house, Nick, Eva and me are now being referred to as the German trio, so we showed Nick his room, Eva, her's and me, mine.

Then we went to the shops, brought a Germany soccer ball, not German, a Germany soccer ball with the German flag design to the soccer ball, and we played soccer, played on the playground then we went to Maccas to meet and have dinner with Nick's family and say goodbye to Eva because they had moved the time up to 7 instead of 8.

So we had Nick in our car on the car ride to the airport and as we moved closer to the airport I could feel the little lump in my throat that I couldn't swallow, I was getting choked by my own body and I just couldn't swallow the lump... however eventually I was able to take a drink and swallow the lump.

We walked into the airport after I grabbed Eva's bags and wheeled them into the airport, we saw the gang of German students and most were talking in English which was good because that means they learnt something, speak in English or you get smack-smack, especially since the German teachers were there.

So we let them sign in and everything was fine, I was fine, I talked to Grace and Nick and Michael, the three that went to the same school and I had become really good friends with because of the exchange, and eventually they came back.

We take photos before we head up to the security, the very place I've been dreading. This is where me and my family could not go on further, this is where we had to say our goodbyes, and here my littlest brother started crying, we talked a little more up by the gate before our teacher told us we need to say our goodbyes.

I sucked in a breath and went over to Clara, another exchange student I had grown close to then I went back over to Eva to see my littlest sister clinging to Eva's leg and my littlest brother snuggled into my mother's side, I grabbed Eva and sniffled a little, I hugged her tightly and Nick joined in, I mumbled 'auf wiedersehen' which is goodbye for those who don't talk German and let my family say their goodbyes, quickly time passed and almost everyone said goodbye apart from my mother and I didn't know that at the time, I saw the German students were lining up and I rushed Eva, Kareena rushed her as well and yanked her away from my mother before she got to hug Eva goodbye, I only found out when my brother slapped me across the head and hissed at me that my mum didn't get to say goodbye, I apologized over and over again but you could clearly tell that she didn't forgive me.

We spoke to Nick's family and thanked them, they thanked us and told us not to be strangers and I plan to catch up with Nick.. maybe so we rode home in the car and my sister and brother were sniffling and my mum was still giving me dirty looks and I still feel really bad.

So we pulled into McDonalds and got icecream before we went home, and here I am.

So I got a cherryripe icecream which is a type of chocolate, I don't know if you guys have it but it's just cherry and dark chocolate, really nice..

But yup, that was my highlight of the day...
