Today at school we saw our very first happy-ending German movie--Das Wunder von Bern. It is about the '54 World Cup (which Germany won), and a father that comes home from the war after 12 years and must try to find his place in his family (with a young son he's never met). Quite a good movie. And it ended happily! It was so bizarre. German movies never have happy endings. Later that evening, we went to the Schützenverein Holzkirchen, for some Meisterschaftschießen. (We shot air rifles at a shooting gallery.) It was quite fun. Apparently it is a big thing to do in Bavaria (yet another reason to drink beer). We ate some Laberkäse sandwiches, with Senf und Käse, and drank some Holzkirchener Oberbräu. We then took turns (3 at a time) shooting. After some teaching and a practice round, we each got 10 shots, and the top three scores got trophies (Divesh, Spenser, and Wes). Everyone got a participation certificate that said how many points you got. I got 6th place (out of 13) with 38 points (out of 100). The highest was around 45. A fun time was had by all. After sitting around for a while, we went and got some ice cream, and sat around some more, before going to our respective houses.

Nothing particularly exciting happened today, just school. At lunch, Herr Keel spilled his cola all over my (canvas) purse and backpack, so I'm looking for suggestions on how to clean them. After lunch, the history class had to go back to school to make up for time when our teacher was not there (the other class went to Munich...gr.). We watched Shtonk!, which was a pretty good movie, I think, though I only understood about half of it. It's about the guy who forged Hitler's journals and made tons of money off it in the '80s. The rest of the day has just been sittin around doin homework and putting up pictures.
Speaking of which, new album (Berlin part 2): http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2049482&id=1135320260&l=c030bd344f
