Today I woke up at 11 again, which was very nice.  After eating some toast and nesquik, i got ready for the day.  Uwe and I left at 1145 for my first Rotex meeting in this barn in the middle of nowhere.  After driving for an hour and a half, we arrived at this beautiful property where a bunch of people were standing around socializing.  My third host family was there, so we talked to them for a while.  The meeting started....in German, so I didn't understand much, but Uwe explained everything to me later.  After this meeting, all of the inbounds met with some rotex to talk about our exchange so far.  We then played some games and then met up for a picture.  After this meeting, Uwe and I went back home.  Once home, I got ready to go to the freibat, or pool area with Arne, Tealo, and Hendrik.  We jumped from the 5m diving platform for a while, and then we went down the slide, and got yelled at by the lifeguards for standing in it.  anyways, we got picked up at 7 by Beate, and then went to this very good Bavarian restaurant where I had my first serving of real German sauerkraut.  It was amazing.  After dinner, we went back home and went to bed.  

I have been here a week already, and I already feel like I am fitting in.  I have already made friends, learned my way around the town and the bus system, and I am starting to feel like a real German.  At times I feel homesick, and at other times I feel like it's just a dream, but it's not, it's my life.
