I turned 18 on July 6!!! Now I can vote and buy porn! God Bless America! Anyway, my German host brother Georg, and his friends Michael and Kenny are here visiting. Carly, from Colorado is also here. I've had a crazy week so far with them, starting at the 4, when i went to Josh's lakehouse with Carly. We set off fireworks and enjoyed the fine tastes of Saufmittel. Carly leaves today at 10am, which I'm really gonna cry. I don't know when I'll see her again! Hopefully I can get out there to visit her, maybe ski in the Rockies where she lives :) It kinda sucks she's leaving now because this week is shopping week with the germans and now i'm only one girl! No partner in crime!! Oh well. THis summer is flying by. It seems like just yesterday i was graduating and going to Boston with Ashley. Now ther Germans have one more week and Carly and Josh are gone. I miss Josh. It's that withdrawal again. I wish I could see him whenever I wanted like back in Germany. This week felt like old times again. With the Germans here now. We showed them NYC and Philly and JOsh's lakehouse. It's been so much. A truly wonderful summer so far. Life goes by too fast. Seriously. And they say now it is just beginning! I hope it slows down a little. Gute Nacht
