PROM!

Oh my.This weekend was crazy!It was sooo full.I had a ton scheduled.
So i woke up at about 9 AM.At 10 I met Kristen,Megan and Kaitlyn at Spa Nails on North Ave. It was funny bc it felt like everyone from TW was there.We met Jackie,Andrea and Jesse. So we got our nails done.It was very relaxing but waaay more expensive than I thought it would be.I got French Nails for my fingernails and red toenails,so that they would match my dress. At home I just hung out for like half an hour and then Tomette,Nicole,Kelsey and me went to Brookfield Square. I got my hair done.It took like 1 1/2 hrs...and after that I got my face fixed.hah after that I looked pretty good. :P We were totally freaking out because we had to be at Kristens Grandmas house in like half an hour.But then Kristen txted me that it's half an hour later. So we went to Pick'n'Safe to get Ben's Boutnier and then we went home I got dressed,we took a couple of pictures and then we went to Kristens Grandmas house for more pictures.Ben was like half an hour late.I got so nervous he wouldn't show up.Oh well...he did.So we all took pictures (a lot of pics...my face hurt really bad..from smiling the whole time)and then we drove off to dinner. We all lookes pretty gorgeous and my corsage was sooo beautiful.Good job,Ben! :) The food was really good and not too expensive.We went to the Envoy Restaurant in the Embassador Hotel.Unfortunatly we had sooo much time.And so our conversations got a little carried away...i don't think it's good to talk about throwing up in a restaurant.:)Oh and then we went to the bathroom.They were sooo fancy.I took a couple of pics.Eventho the girls thought I was weird.So then we drove over to the Tripoli Shrine.It was pretty fancy too.Steiner,Kaitlyn,Ben and me went upstairs for the Grad March.ben and me were first.I think it was good so we didn't have to wait that long.But I was so nervous.I had to walk done so many steps..I just hoped I won't fall.And I didn't.!YAY.The the Promcourt was presented and Jenni Budzien and some guy I have never seen before became Queen and King.So then the dance finally started.It wasn't diffenrent from any other dance at TW...only that everybody looked so much fancier.After the dance ben went with Lili and Stu to the Mall for Post Prom.I stayed with Megan,Stephen,Kaitlyn and Steini.Kristen went home bc she had a headache.At Megans we watched a Movie but everybody fell asleep so Steiner gave me a ride home at like 1...I was kinda disappointed bc I tought we would do more after the dance.Well at home I cleaned my room...idk why:P and it took me like 15 minutes to get all the bobbypins out of my hair.Yea I guess that was prom! The best part about it was getting ready :P

New York!!! and a looot more :)

Oh my God!
I am so sorry.But for some reason I couldn't find the time to write a new blog.Sorry about that.Sooo let's see.I'm not trying to catch up that would take waaaayy to long but here are some major events since november.:)
Chicago with Merle:
In the beginning of November I met with Merle(my friend from Hamburg who is staying in North Carolina for a year). Her Hostdad had to come to Chicago for his work so she came with him and we met.It was a looot of fun.They stayed in a really fancy Hotel and when we tryed to get to our room we couldn't find it bc we were in the wrong elevator.They had 3 elevator for levels 1-17 and 3 for the levels 18-32.We were in the first three but our their room was on level 24.It took us a while to figure that out.That is just one funny story about that day.We went shopping and had dinner together with her Hostdad in the Hard Rock Cafe.I took the Megabus home at 9 o'clock and was in bed by like 1ish...it was a sunday night.The next day at school i fell asleep durcing my Spanishtest.But it was ok...was only for a sec.
Thanksgiving:
On Thanksgiving it self we didn't do much.Tomettes sister who lives in New York came to visit us over the weekend.And on the day after thanksgiving we had a big Dinner at our house with Tometter,Dave,Ahmy(Tomettes sister),Jenny(Tomettes friend) and Wendy,Greg,Jilian and Landon(some family...Wendy is Tometees best friend).It was sooo delicious and I ate way to much.But that's what Thanksgiving is for.
Christmas:
My first white Christmas!!!
A couple of weeks before christmas it felt really strange not to be with my family but on Christmas itself it wasn't too bad.Nicole and Kelsy were there over Christmas (for the whole week).They would stay at home and have fun with Tomette while I still had to go to school...My first day of break was the 24th.Hah but it was fun tho.Kelsey and I texted the whole time while i was at school. On Christmaseve we went downtown and looked at all the Christmaslight in the parks and we went to CandyCane Lane which is a part of Milwaukeedowntown where they decorate their houses a lot.After that we went to the Hyat Hotel.They have a routating restaurant on top and we dessert there and could look at all the light in the city.On christmasday in the morning we could open our presents.and i can tell ya it was a looooot.The christmastree was decorated over and over with coloful ornaments and blinking lights and under the tree were tons of presents.Then we just kinda chilled...i don't really remember :)
New Years eve:
At New Years eve I was with Kristen at a party from Megans friend.But it was really boring and we didn't know anybody except Megan so we left early and went to a sleep over at another friends house.It was relaxing and nothing special.We hung out and decorated Notebooks,we watched tv and played Trivia persuit.Like about 2 o'clock am we decided to go sledding.it was sooooo cold and we didn't really had snow it was more ice so it hurt on my butt.
Turnabout:
Turnabout or in other schools called winterball is a dance where the girl has to ask out the boy for the dance.I just went with a big group of girls and it was sooo much fun.We danced all night and my feet hurt after it sooo much.When they finally played a little bit Cascada I was so happy I totally freak out and everybody was like"Oh Mira i guess you like that song"...awkward!:P
Snow/Cold days:
We actually only had one snowday I believe.There wasn't that much snow but in the morning most of the roads weren't plowed yet so that it would be too dangerouse to drive so we had the day off.And then we had like 2 Cold days because it was about -33degrees celius.everybody just stayed inside.Except the stupid exchange students from germany.hah no for real i really wanted to see how cold it really is.So i went for a little walk and when I came home i couldn't move my face bc it was frozen.But it took only a little while and then it was good again.
My 17th Birthday:
On my birthday it self I didn't celebrate that much.We had an AFS gathering at Iris' house so I went there.We went to see the Milwaukee Wave playing indoor soccer.outdoor soccer is soooo much better.And then I got a cookie cake(just a giant chocolate chip cookie with icing on top!delicious!) at iris' house but that was about it.The Weekend after my birthday i celebrarted.Nicole and kelsey were there and my theme was "A Cinderella Story" I got a Barbie Cake and my Basketball Team plus Megan and kristen came over to eat it.And i got presents.yay :)At night Kristen Megan and I went to Jon's 18th Birthday downtown.He had a big party and like half of the Senior and half of the Junior Class was there.It was a lot of fun!
Sickness:
And then like 3 days after that i got sick.Like really really sick.i had a high fever and slept all Wednesday so I got totally dehydrated and passed out about 3 times on Thursday.So i passed out like two times in one.It's hard to discribe.But i was so lucky because I was in the bathroom and could have totally hit my head really had on the bathtub and then i managed somehow to get to my room but i passed out again and almost hit my head on a table.But nothing bad happened.Tomette took my to an Urgend Care center and while the nurses asked me questions i almost passed out a 3 time.Then i got a needle in my arm and alot of fluid in my body.After that i felt a lot better.unfortunalty i missed our first basketball regional game against Tosa east.But we won! but then on saturday i couldn't play but at least watch.We played DSHA(Divine Savior Holy Angle) but we lost...
Basketball:
Basketball was probably THE best thing that could have ever happened to me.I had so much fun with the girls.They are amazing.We were like family and had so much fun.We cryed together and laughed together and fought together(oh yes 13 girls hang out like 6 days a week....It was hard work and Coach wasn't always nice.But deep down in his heart he loves us I know that.For Valentines day we all got a rose from him.That was so nice.I miss it a lot.The practices the games the girls.Everything.
Madison:
With the YES/CB Group we went to Madison for 2 days.It was a lot of fun.Eventhou Ahmed and Sebastian were making fun of me the whole time.It got pretty exhausting.We met with some people who wokr for politicans and it was so interesting.But I had the feeling that I was the only one who thought it was interesting.yea whatever.Madison is a really nice city with a lot of small shops,college students and not so many cars!And the wheater was beautiful,so that was awesome!
Cruise:
It should have been the best week of my life.It was good but we had some problems.SO at first the wheater didn't really do what we wanted it to do.The first three days it was cloudy and kinda chilly.And it was windy that means the waves were high and it was hard to wlak straight.I had a patch behind my ear so i don't get seasick but it made me blind.Well not fully but I couldn't read anymore.So I took it off.And then on the third day I got the stomach flu.Not nice.I was in my room the whole day and missed the Domenican Republic.The next day I felt a lot better but the doctor wouldn't clear me so that I could leave the ship to see St.Thomas.So I stayed the whole day at the pool deck eventhough I was supposed to stay in my room.But it was the first sunny day.And of course I burned myself pretty badly.Oh well the next day I could finally leave the ship and see Tortola.it was good but I hoped I could have seen more of the island.Oh and the day before they had a biiiig huge chocolate buffet but my stomach still felt kinda weird so i couldn;t eat a lot..:(The 6th day was a day on sea again.I was cilln at the pooldeck all day long and it was awesome.But the last day was THE best.We were in the Bahamas(awesome).The cruiseline has their own island so we could lay on the white beach ang go swimming in the blue water and look at the palmtrees.it was like paradise.And we went parasailing.that was fun too.But Kelsey and I didn't get a dip in the water...arrrg.At night Kelsey and I always hung out with the teenclub.It was a lot of fun but it always felt weird bc I'm used to hanging out with people that are older then me and all of a sudden I was the oldest.The was weird.On Saturdaynight after a day at the airport in florida and a flight with a lot of turbulences we could drive home bc there was a big snowstorm.So we had to stay another night in chicago.I was in a really bad mood.But the breakfast the next morning was super delicious!
Softball:
I think Softball is not really my sport.I mean I believe I'm doing pretty good for never ever played this game before but still i don't really see the facination.There is not a lot of action and running.It feels a litlle boring.And everybody is so nice to each other.It feels weird after Basketball were everyone was so edgy and there was a lot of fighting.But it still is fun and the girls are nice and i'm outside a lot.Which is good.From our 9 games 7 had been canceled because of wheaterconditions.hah it's ridiculous.Now we have like Thursday,Friday,Saturday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday or something like that.i'm not playing anyways...soo yea but that's about it.
Springbreak before NYC:
I hung out with Megan a lot.We went shopping and to Starbucks and stuff.I helped out at tosa Cares distibuting food for people who can afford it.For Easter we went out for Brunch and it was sooooo good.They had a lot of food and it all was so good and they had a chocolatefountain!OMG...:)And one day I went to Chicago with the LeDoux Twins,Kristen,Laurel,Mrs.Posten and Mrs.Goulee.We vistied Kristens college9Northwester university) and the we shopped at Navy Pier.We all build a bear at "Build-a-bear" and now i have little Jayden sitting on my bed.:)
Springbreak NEW YORK CITY:
Thursday:
I had to get up at 5.But it was alright.Kristens Mom and Dad drove Kristen and me down to the Milwaukee Airport.There we met with Tomette,Iris and Suci.While we were waiting for our flight we met an exchangestudent from Norway.He was on his way to L.A. In NYC at the airport La Guardia we met tomettes sister Ahmy.We tooko the bus from Queens over Spanish Harlem to the Upper East Side.On park Ave. was our apartment.We stayed in an apartment that belomgs to a church Tomette used to wokr for.The nieghborhood is soooo nice.All those rich people from the movies really do exsist.We had lunch and then went grocery shopping.The we got our Metrocards and went to Grand Central Station.man that looks so fancy and nice and clean.Not at all like Hamburg Hauptbahnhof.Then we past the Public Library and walked down 5th Avenue to the Empire State Building.hah i bought some fake ray bans.They look just like Edwards(looove rob pattinson).We stayed on the Empire State Building foooor ever.But so we could see the city by day,then the sunset and after that all the lights.It was freezing eventho the sun was shining but the wind was sooo cold.The view was amazing and you can't discribe it and the picture are not even close to how amazing it was.I was just pissed of by all the tourists.They were all so selfish and just wanted their pictures not matter what.When we were back down on the ground we took a bikecap to a koreanbarbecue place.it was very interesting and deliccous.after that we went home.I was exhausted but i loove it here.
Friday:
At about 9:30ish AM we left for the UN.In front of the UN were the flags of every country.it look great.Then we had a tour through the builing.It was ok but not too interesting.Close to the UN was a little tiny park between all the skyscrapers and we had lunch there.Then we were on our way to the Brooklyn Bridge.The Busdriver let us out of the bus on a wrong stop but it ok because of that we passed a place where they were filming a section for "law and order".So we watched there a little and then Kristen,Suci and me went on the Bridge.From the "outside" it doesn't look so interesting but we you're on it it is pretty cool.After that we went to Chinatown and had a little freetime.I bought so many "I <3 NY" T-shirts I could open my own shop.:)Then we hurried home.change clothes and had a very quick dinner at a little chinese restaurant on broadway.We had to be at our show"west side story" at eight.and we sat down when the curtain opened.The Musical was amazinf.I even think it was better then the movie.After the show we walked down Broadway,we saw Times Square(no words for that.you have to see it) and did another little Souvenirshopping.That day was even more exhausting.:) But awesome!
Saturday:
We left again at about 9:30ish AM and walked down to Central Park(Tomette bought me the Twilight Script..hah now I can talk to the movie.well i can talk to it anyways without the script:D) and then we had Freetime on 5th avenue.Suci met with a friend from Indonesia(who lives in Downtown Manhatten in a super rich family..jealous!)Iris,Kristen and I went to a mega toy store.It was awesome.The dollhouses were sooo cute.And then we went to Tiffany's and to Prada(I found an awesome purse...couldn't afford it tho.:S)then we went to H&M so we could acctually buy something.Then we had lunch infront of the Rockefeller center and then we took the Metro down to the battary of manhatten.Because of constructions we did end up in brooklyn tho.But we found our way and so we took the staten island ferry to pass the statue of liberty and the skyline.When we were on Staten Island we took the same ferry back and went back to the apartment.At night we had dinner in a little diner and after that we decided to take the metro up to the bronx so that we had been in all 5 parts of nwe york city.Your really could feel that we weren't in the upper east side anymore.We just went out of the metro and stood outside for like 10 minutes and then we went back.You could see the skyline from manhatten and it felt like we weren't in nyc anymore.but we were.so it was weird.
Sunday:
We had to be out of our rooms at 11.So we were packed and then we went to the Met.We wanted to go to the Roof to see Central park but the sculptur thing on the roof wasn't open yet.So we just stayed inside and had like 2 hours to see what we wanted.Then we had hotdogs outside the museum.There was an acapella group playing they were sooo good.i got a cd but the cd isn't so good.:(Then we bought some painting and photos from the streetartists and went to the apartment to get our luggage and went to the ariport and flew home.
All in all it was awesome.The wheather was great and I enjoyed the time alot.I loove NYC and i wanna go back really badly.And i would like to go to NYU but i believe that's not in my buget.Too bad. :P

Soooo now i wrote like a book as an entry and i'm so proud of you when you actually finished it.

Today I realized that I'm leaving in about 8 weeks.That's tough.I'm happy to go home but I don't wanna leave.I think that's not gonna work out.:(

Alright then see ya soon!

Long long time ago....

it's terrible i know.I should write more often.But most of the time i forget it.I have so much stuff going on in the last time.
2 weeks ago the basketball saison has started and now I have 6 days a week 2 hours practice.and of course normal school and tests and quizzes.but thank God,school isn't that hard here.And i have study hall to do most of my homework.Except when we are watching Paris Hilton my new BFF.It is sooo funny.
It is getting really cold here. Most of the time it is about 15 F.But it has snowed just 2 times..that's really sad.i kind of like snow.but i guess i'll get enough during the winter.
2 weeks ago i was in chicago to meet merle.it was sooo much fun.eventhough it was awful cold.but i had a hat!Merle and her hostdad were in this really fancy hotel and when merle and I tried to get in our room we couldn't get to level 27 because we were in the wrong elevator.Hello?! 6 elevators for level 1-17 and the other 6 for level 18-34.how can we know that?! i had lots of doughnuts this day.but dunkin doughnuts had 2 doughnuts for 99 ct. that's really good.i mean i was in chicago.I took the bus there and then of course back so i was really late at home and the next day in school i nearly fall asleep during a test.it wasn't that good.but ok...i had practice after that and after that i just fell asleep right away.the next day we had a late morning.school started at 10:30 so i slept 12 hours.AWESOME!!!

Oh halloween...i was a costume party from AFS.and it was sooo cool.It was just fun to meet all these exchange students and just have fun! I was Tinkerbell.I love her so much.She's a cutie. <3
And fallbreak was kind of cool.I went to the mall with Suci and after that we all(AFS kids) went to chipotle for dinner and the next day Suci came to my house and we played the game of life and i was president both times..haha:) and then the party and on saturday we made a cake for nicoles birthday und went to the safehouse for dinner.that's a spyrestaurant and it is really cool.they have no advertisment and if you don't know where it is you can't get in bc the door is hidden.and then you have to say a password to get in.of course i didn't know it and kesley forgot it too so we two had to solve a little problem and then we could get in.it was like a big playgroud.there were so many things hidden and special things.it was funny.and when you have to do the test outside there are cameras and all the people in the restaurant can see what embaressing things you are doin.it is soo funny.
on sunday we went to the pancake house for breakfast.DELICIOUS!And then we went to fun world.that's like a casino for children and after that i was at the lake with kristen and we went out for dinner.to noodles and co. soooo delicious.the best noodles i had in the u.s. so far.

2 weeks ago on friday i was bowling with iris.iris is an exchange student from iceland and she is really nice.we had so much fun eventhough we were bad.REALLY bad. and last weekend we went to the tosa east musical bc jack played the gitarre in it.it was soo good.not like the schoolmusicals in germany.it was like a professional play.they could sing sooo awesome.tonight i'm going to the west musical with my hostparents.i think it'll be fun. and yesterday i was at iris' house and we watched a VERY funny movie(forgetting sarah marshall).It plays in Hawaii and iris and i decided that we want to travel there.and it isn't thaaat expensive if you're not in these fancy hotels.
this morning i had practice.like every saturday.but it is ok.i like saturday practices bc we are playing a little game at the end and after that we are all going in the weight room(i really like the weight room...and I'm getting better) and then we get muffins and doughnuts from coach.*thankss*

soo i got to finish my christmas shopping this weekend to send all these stuff at home so that is there at christmas and tomorrow i have a teamdinner at coaches house.i feel like it'll be fun!

Love ya'll <3

Some things I wanna tell

1.) Celine Dion Concert
September/29/2008 Bradley Center: It was AMAZING! I mean maybe it sounds a bit..boring or weird to go to a Celine Dion concert.But her voice is so amazing.it was wonderful and when she sang "My heart will go on"...that is a thing you all should put on you "things I wanna do before I die"list:
-hear "my heart will go on" live performed by Celine Dion
However.It was I guess 90 minutes,a really good show, but I think the best part is her voice.Just close your eyes and enjoy...:)
2.) Bomb Threat at my school
October/14/2008 Tosa West: Yes we had a Bomb threat and nearly everybody knew that school will start at 10 this day because of the police intervention.But I didn't, so i was a bit confused at this morning beause there was no traffic.But Tomette found out because she asked a reporter what was going on and after that she was on TV and I missed it...However she found out what was going on and picked me up at Whiteman(middle school next to my high school...there were all the people who didn't know that they had to come later) and we went to George Webb for a wonderful breakfast.I met 8 or 9 of my teacher at Webb...it was a bit weird.
At ten we had to go to the auditorium but I have no idea why.Because when we were all sitting there we had to stand up and go to our 3rd hour class.After that everything was pretty normal.Just that many people were missing. Oh and there were was no bomb.

Haunted Corn Maze

Ohh yes.that was scary!!!
last friday I was at a haunted corn maze with a bunch of people from my school(acutally we were 30...we didn't expeceted so many).
So at first. A haunted corn maze is a thing that happend in halloween time.There are also haunted houses.The corn maze is in a corn field.so you are going there at night.It has to be dark.And the organisators created a way through the field and you have to walk through the field.It is pretty scary to walk at night through a dark cornfield.But that's not all.in the cornfield are actors.they are there to scare you.So you are walking a little groups through this field and other people scare you.Sounds not so scary ,I though, when i got a really funny demonstration from Chris in Studie hall.But when I was there...I just screemed the whole time and hold hands with the people next to me.I was so scared that i started to speek german and didn't notice it. And haunted houses are the same but not in a cornfield...in houses.i think thats logical.
Amercian kids and organisation!!!oh yes. We were supposed to meet after the football game at the school...yes we were 3 people.So we tried to get the others together and after an hour we all met at walgreens.Somebody said that we only have to pay $8 if we have a can.So everybody(30 people) went into walgreens and bought a can.At the end we didn't need the can.So everybody had a can of chicken soup...haha:D I forgot mine in Ians car..upss:P than we finally were on our way...but nobody knew the way.So it took us 45 minutes to get there.Actually we would need 20 minutes if we would have known the way.I was with Jon and his friends in a car. So there were 4 black guys and mira.It was pretty tight at the backseat.And ian is a horrible driver.well at the way to the corn maze it was a bit fun...but at the way back!!!
So we got there and were in the corn.It was really scary.And i bet that the actors had little microphones to tell the other actors who is the most scared, because they always jumped on me.The first cuarter mile it was fun but after that i just wanted to get out of it.But the whole way was one full mile!!! At one point they took one person from the group and this person had to go alone.Of course it was me, but I didn't want to go.So Marissa went.THAAAANKS! But she was the girl who hold me hand..so I had to find another one.No problem,Megan was there :P
My group was the last group and when we came out everybody came to me and asked how it was but I couldn't speek english very well because i was so shocked.
And on the way back..I will never drive with Ian again. He drove sooo fast and always so close to the car in fornt of us. Jon totally freaked out and I was just sitting there and sometimes i said "Could you please drive not so fast?"On the Highway were of course Cops, but we were totally lucky.They didn't see us.After that Ian drove a bit better.But I was just happy when I was at home...

Homecoming Week

Hey it's meee.
Homecomingweek is over (since 1 week) but i wanted to tell you some stuff, what was going on, because my mail was very short.
This week was amazing. Nearly everbody was dressed up and i had some wonderful girls in my frenchclass who brought me stuff.
On Monday(Superheroday) I wasn't dressed because I wanted to check out want everybody is doing. We had a firealarm and so I could see want everybody is wearing(well I also could see in class and in the hallways).Superwoman was really popular. And there is one guy (demintries) in my app-class.he always looked so funny.On monday he was "afroman" and had a big wig so that nobody behind him could see the board.(i'm sittig in the row behind him :P)
Tuesday was Togaday.So everybody was wearing sheets.It was fun.But it felt like you were in your bed because of the material.That was kind of relaxing to pretend that you're lieing in your bed while you're in class.
Ohhh and Wedensday was my favorite day. CRAZY day. At this day EVERBODY was dressed up(except sydny....:( )And everybody looked just funny.The atmosphere was a bit like Schlagermove...and I love Schlagermove.So it was just fun.Demitries was just so funny that I couldn't stop laughing. he looked like a big fat homeless. In studie hall there was this funny guy(chris).i was sitting on the table next to him but i always had to laugh because he looked so funny, with his big cowboyhad and heartsunglasses so that you couln't see his face.:)
Thursday,Colorwar. It was pretty infomative because since that day i know who is in which grade. All Seniors had the Senior T-Shirt.Except me..so everybody asked me"where is your blue?" And I just pointed at my Top..It was blue!
Friday was fun too.It was Spiritday.So everbody was in green and white.Or like me,just in white.Andrea brought me a Tosa Pullover and I thought it would be green or dark so I wore my white jeans but the pullover was white.so i was totally in white.the rest of the school was mostly in green.the hair too!
We had shorten classes because at one o'clock was the pep rally and it was so much fun! The whole school was in the gym and the fallsport teams were presented.And the Poms and Cheerleader were dancing and we had a "Tosa Wests best dance crew"battle, and a ManPoms(sooo funny!!!) I felt a bit sorry for the freshmen because everybody shouted "Stupid freshmen!" but i guess thats every year like this.So next year the freshmen can shout that to the new freshmen.At the end the homecomingcourt was announced.and i finally knew who i voted for.I didn't know the guys on the ballot so i just choose one.And he became Homecomingprince so now i know who he is...:)
After the pep rally was the powder puff game.It's girls football.It was pretty boring so i left early. In the evening was the parade.Nothing really interesting.Just the band and the poms and the cheerleader.the homecomingcourt,some of the fallsport teams and one car for every grade.
At night was the game.It was sooooo cold!!!! And of course The Trojans lost with one point, but we had wonderful fireworks anyway. And i had some disappointing experiences.Because actually I wanted to see the game with some friends and go to maggies house after the game but I couldn't find them and maggie said she will call me when she's there but she never called.and after the game everybody was away.nobody had waited for me...but the girls i watched the game with gave me a ride home.
Saturday I had a meeting with my AFS cluster.we volenteered for Obama.It was fun and I really enjoyed the time.Tomette picked me up earlier so that I could get ready for Homecoming Dance.I was in a hurry and late...but finally I was at Jonathans house and I was the first person.A few minutes later the others arrived and we took pictures.After that we all went to Peach Garden for Dinner(everything pretty spontanous).And because Jon is a member of the commitee which organised the dance we could get in earlier and hadn't to stand in a line.
The dance was not what i expected.i though it would be a mix betweet our dacingschool dance and a party.But it was just a party and the dancingstyle of amercian kids takes getting used to it.Most of the time I was running around and talking to some people. After the dance I was with the two twins from my frenchclass at their friends house and we watched TV.I was really tired and happy when I could go to bed!
What a week!

Soooo ich bins mal wieder.
Mittlerweile bin ich schon ueber einen Monat hier und schon sage und schreibe 4 Wochen in meiner neuen Schule.ich hab mich ziemlich gut eingelebt und finde alle klassenraeume ohne Probleme und meistens sogar meinen Locker beim ersten Versuch auf.Manchmal bin ich allerdings ein bisschen vertraeumt und drehe studenlang dran rum und merke irgendwann das ich meiner Zahl verpasst habe.Dann muss ich noch mal von vorne anfangen.Das ist besonders bloed wenn man so viele Buecher in der Hand hat das gleich alles runter faellt.
Was mir in den letzten tagen aufgefallen ist,ist das es ziemlich doof ist das die Locker so dicht an dicht sind.Wenn ich und meine beiden Nachbarn alle gleichzeit an unsere Locker wollen gibt es immer ein kleines Koordinationsproblem.Aber es klappt.
Ich habe in meiner dritten Wochen von AP US History (Level vom Freshmanyear im College) in den normalen US History Kurs gewechselt.Allerdings ist das ein High School Freshmen Kurs und das merkt man doch ziemlich das alle 2 oder 3 Jahre juenger sind als man selber.Wir haben Gruppentische und heute hat doch endlich auch der letzte an meinem Tisch geschnallt das ich ein Austauschschueler bin...na ja manche brauchen etwas laneger.
Hier ist es immer noch ziemlich warm und das ist auch gut so.Allerdings kann ich mir gar nicht vorstellen das es bald so unglaublich kalt wird.In der Schule laufen alle noch mit ziemlich kurzen Shorts und Tops oder T-Shirts rum.Auch wenn das der Dress Code nicht erlaubt aber das interessiert hier sowieso niemanden.
Morgen kommt eine Gruppe Deutsche aus Fulda fuer 2 Wochen hier her.Darauf freue ich mich schon.Allerdings ist es voll komisch,alle fragen mich ob ich da jemanden kenne.und dann sagt ich immer nur."Aeh nee...kennst du die Leute aus Madison?" Manche Leute denken echt das ich ganz Deutschland kenne.
Oh und naechste Woche ist Homecomingweek.Das ist sozusagen so wie Mottotage bei uns.Nur das die ganze Schule mit macht.Am Montag haben wir Superheros,am Dienstag ist Togaday, am Mittwoch Mixed(man zieht Sachen an die nicht zusammen passen),am Donnerstag...keine Ahnung hab ich schon wieder vergessen...und am Freitag hat jeder Jahrgang seine Farbe.Die SuperSenior haben Blau.Ich denke dass laesst sich machen. :D
Letzten Sonntag war ich mit Tomette und Suci unsere Homecomingdresses kaufen.Ich hatte so ein cooles an.Da sah ich aus wie eine Prinzessin die aus einem Disneyfilm entsprungen ist.Allerdings fand ich das dann doch ein bisschen Over-the-Top und hab jetzt ein normales Schwarzes.Das will ich aber noch ein bisschen aufpeppen.
Und heute in den Announcment...das war sooooo cool.Da wurde am Ende gesagt(Sorry ich hab die Namen vergessen aber darum gehts ja auch nicht) "(Name von einem Maedchen) would you please go to Homecoming with(Name von einem Jungen)." oh man das war mal romantisch.Alle Maedchen in meiner Klasse meinten"oohhh..soo cute." und die Jungs.."oh what a looser...everybody will laugh at him."

Ok ich glaube das wars jetzt auch erstmal.
Liebe Gruesse Mira
