Hey so I haven't posted in a long time but here is a little update about what was going on lately.
Okay so first of all I skyped with my host family and they are all so super nice! I got to see my host mom, all my host brothers ( I have 3 ) and also my host grandma :) I was so nervous at first but that feeling was gone very fast. They also showed me the dog and the cat they own (which are both very cute! )

So the next thing that happened is that I finished editing my second video which I'll link down below:

and the third thing that happend is that I finally finished designing my exchange student book.
I also made a DIY video about it and I'll upload that when I'm ready with editing

So that's it for today and I hope that I'll see you soon.

YouTube

As you can already tell by the title this post is again going to be about YouTube.
So I showed the finished video to my mother and a few days afterwards I asked her if she liked it and if I was allowed to upload it and to my surprise she said YES!
So far so good.
Well then I still had to convince my father and yesterday I showed him the video and he also said YES! I guess I was the happiest person on earth when I finally realized that I was now able to upload it. So today when I got home from school I edited the video a little bit more until I was completly happy with it and than I uploaded the video to YouTube.
It took like 1 1/2 hours! The thumbnails weren't really the best so I googled how I could edit that since you can't choose one if you aren't a YouTube partner.
I found a video that told me what I could do and the thing I had to do to solve that problem was to edit my video (just take the picture you want to have as thumbnail and put it to the end of your video)
I now had to upload it again and it took ages! It completly worked and I had the thumbnail I wanted to have. The last thing I had to do was to edit the video with the YouTube Video Editor BUT when I was ready the thumbnails were the same I had in the video I uploaded before. Well I had to pick "the best" with which I'm obviously not really happy :D

So here is the video ( sorry but it's in german )

Hey to the person who is currently reading this. Are you enjoying my blog so far?
Well this post is about making YouTube videos. So a few weeks ago I started to think about making YouTube videos about my exchange year to help students that are in my situation or that will be in my situation. One of my biggest Christmas wishes this year was a tripod since I already have a camera and I was so happy when I got it. So one day I was home alone and I thought why not try to make a video. 20 minutes later I finished filming and I started to edit it ( after I waited like 40 minutes for the editing programm to download ). It was ready and everything and I was kinda proud because I think it's not that bad actually. Well the thing I forgot to do was to ask my parents if I'm even alowed to post a video on YouTube...I guess you already know the answer.
Yeah so this is the story about how it took me roughly 5 hours to make a YouTube video that is never going to be seen by anybody other than me. ( of course I'm still trying to convince them to let me publish it but chances are around 1% that that will ever happen)
So that's it and I hope I'll see you soon.

Since I started this blog ( which was yesterday ) I  thought incredibly much about how the whole year is going to be. I kinda worry that I will not fit into the family or that maybe I wont find friends.
I'm so nervous...but a good nervous...because I dont know where I'll spend the year. It is possible that I come to Hawaii, Washington, Texas, Florida...EVERYWHERE! The first thing I do every day when I come home is turn on my laptop to see if I have any new mails. The mail that tells me where my new home will be could come any second, the thing is it could also come like 2 days before I'm leaving Germany. I'm already so excited!!!

So that's it for today. I hope I'll see you soon.
