@Dubaisis: its kinda funny you mentioned WW I- you might not ever do that in public here (no offense though). People just don't talk about positive aspects of their history (well the finally paying off being the positive aspect), someone will come right up and tell them about all the negative things that their country has done.
I think one should be able to talk about all aspects though, so never mind.
I have checked out the homepage that you suggested, thanks! I have even found a German-American Women's club in the city where I live. Just seems so everyone is in their 50ies who is active there- and I'm obviously not.
But I will give it a closer look. Thanks again!
Generally speaking, I feel this whole country is really missing out on a lot of social opportunities.
No honor societies. No sororities. No business fraternities. No high school or college sport, intramural, if any. No awards to win at no events or competitions taking place. Only ceremony that we really have is graduation.
Heck, you don't event find school gear here. Not even a mascot or a sweater saying "XY college". Makes me really sad sometimes.
Would want to be proud of my home school as much as of my exchange school. Isn't it ironic I have sweaters saying "UF" but not "Home School"?
Oh my, this makes me "USA homesick" right now...
