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!
