boredom

today was painfully boring. really. it was not good. school seemed to last forever. so first period sam and i had german with the second class and they were reading the paper they wrote. and guess what it was about. someone murdering them when they were home alone! or them being home alone with a murderer in their house or something like that. it was weird. i still dont understand why they are having 12 year olds write about that. but whatever. since school ended just as the train was leaving i hungout with sam and tommy and manny and danny for a while. i was so tired when i got home. i took a two hour nap:) then i spent the rest of the evenging hanging out in the living room. im so happy tomorrow is friday. tomorrow is also my moms and tiffanies birthday! so happy early birthday! i love you!

pizza!

the first part of school was not exciting. the only interesting thing that happened was at the very end. but during the two hour break before gym sam, kati, judith, and i went to go get pizza! it was really good:) and we had a good time. then we had gym and gym was okay. first we used these stretchy rubber band things to do workouts with.. idk how to ecplain it. then we played volleyball. i am reallllyyyy bad at volleyball. ahh its not good. so i hope we dont have to play volleyball again. my arms were so red after class! but then i came home and i played the guitar for a little bit! i have the chords for a lot of really good songs. i like it very much:) i danced around with teresa for a while and then we played some sims. well i watched her play sims. but it really donest matter. now im just hanging out. i hope that tomorrow is more interesting!

best episode of greek ever:)

the first thing i have to say is that this weeks episode of greek was the best one they have ever made. just throwing that out there. moving on..
there was finally school again today but it was very boring. music was still fun but not as funny as it usually is. we sang gotta be somebody by nickleback. it was good. after school i went with melina and sam to go get something to eat at a cafe and we hung out there for a while and then sam decided she wanted to finally go to the top of the enns tower! then i went with lukas for a hot chocolate. so after school was very nice. at 5 i went to my german lesson and since we got done early i played some guitar and saw their horses. it was really fun. now i am at home writing a stupid paper for english where we have to take a fairy tale and make it politically corect. most boring thing i have ever had to do for school. but oh well. ill just get it over with.
tomorrow i have gym.. not too excited because i have no idea what were doing and if its trampolines again i wont be happy. i want to play some sort of game all class. that would be fun

Teresa hatte Geburtstag

Heute früh habe ich sooo gut geschlafen und dann hat mich meine Gast Schwester aufgeweckt und mir von dem süßen Welpen vom Nachbarn erzählt! Das war sooo gemein von ihr!!!
Nach dem Mittagessen feierten wir Teresas Geburtstag. Danach spielten wir Karten, es war sooo lustig! Regina und ich verarschten uns die ganze Zeit gegenseitig und es war sooo lustig!
Am Nachmittag ist noch Zilli gekommen, die bei der ich Deutschstunden habe, mit ihrer Familie zu Teresas Geburtstag.
Es war sehr lustig!
Ich habe mein Buch fertig gelesen und ich finde es viel besser als des Film! Ich habe mir den Film gleich angesehen um den Film und das Buch vergleichen zu können und das Buch ist viel besser!!
Eigentlich war der Tag sehr langweilig!
Morgen habe ich Deutsch mit Teresa :-( aber ich freue mich auf die zweite Stunde da ich Musik habe!
See you!

afs second arrival camp

alright so i have a lot to fill you guys in on. so on thursday i went to go get my visa and everything went well and my visa will be ready to be picked up next thursady.
on friday i went to linz so i could meet everyone going to the second arrival camp. when the train came around 2 everyone got on and we ended up going on three trains a bus and a taxi to get to the place we were staying. thats how far away from everything we were. we went to a town called weyer that was actually very nice. the first couple days were cloudy and a little rainy but the last day was very warm and there was sun and blue sky. so once we got there we got our rooms and we had dinner. then we went downstairs to a big room where we did some group activities and then we broke up into small groups. i was in the snake group:) and we just talked about random stuff like where were from and we looked at this picture with a bunch of little people climbing and what not on a tree and had to choose which one would be us. after we were done with groups was more fun. we hung out in a room downstairs where we learned various dances! first of course we had to learn the waltz and im proud to say that because of vera i can waltz super fast! i like it:) but we also learned how to salsa! that was cool. so those were the main two dances we did but there were a couple others. but we sat in that room for a loooong time. and then vale and i went and hung out with the italians for a while. we stayed up verrryyy late. but it was so much fun! then the next morning we had to wake up and go to breakfast at 8:( i was so tired. but i got over it after we went outside and did some energizers and games. but for most of the day we did orientation stuff. but we also got to play around and we played ping pong and we played in the gym they had at the hostel. that night everyone gave a presentation about where they are from and just did something special from their country. im uploading all the videos onto my facebook so you all can see them there:) i got everyones except for the one emily andi did about america. but none of you want to see us say the pledge of allegiance and sing the national anthem. not that interesting. but the rest will be posted!
so after all the presentations we just hungout in the gym all night. then afterwards vale and i went to go hangout with all the latin americans and flavio from italy. it was very funny but i was really tired so i ended up just oging to bed. luckily for me we had the time change and we gained an hour. so i felt much better when i woke up this morning. today we did some more energizers and small group activities. then we had lunch and hungout until we had to walk down to the train station. when we got to the train station we had to wait 30 minutes until the train came. but it was very funny and we made lots of videos:) then the train came and we took that one then switched to another and i got off at st. valentin. so thankfully we didnt have to move around as much. that was really nice. and now i am back at home and it feels very good to be here. then at dinner i got to talk to my mom and greg. that was nice. i miss them!
but now im just hanging out andtraing to get everything uploaded but it takes like an hour for one video.. so it might take a while.
im so happy because there is no school tomorrow!!! woohoo:) so another short week at school and then next saturday there is another afs meeting in linz and i really look forward to seeing everyone again!

long weekends:)

gym today was LAME. the trampolines were barely big enough for one person. but a lot better than nordic walking. so i am at least thankful for that. school was as it always is except in english we listened to the weirdest version of little red riding hood ever written. it was written "politically correct" and it just sounded so funny. but during the two hour break we had before gym sam, kati, judith and i went to mcdonalds:) mmm nothing like greasy food right before gym.
good news!! no school for me tomorrow:) oh im so happy about this. i am going to get my visa with my host dad. and then tomorrow night the people in my clas are going to have a get together that i might go to. so that should be a lot of fun. i look forward to that:) then on friday i have my second arrival camp. and on monday again there is no school:)although i think i already said all of that.. but im so happy about it that i dont really care. long weekends are by far my favorite

nightmares:(

well i have finished my book and i must say i was surprised. i think if anyone is interested in murder mysteries they should read it. it was really good.
so anyways. school today. first i had an hour of german with the second class where sam and i read about cavemen. and then second hour we had music again with everyone else. it was soooo funny! that is definitely my favorite class. so the two songs we sang were hold the line and dancing queen. hold the line was cool because the guys in my class are just plain awesome. i dont know how else to describe them. but im glad im in the same class as them. dancing queen was funny because all the guys were trying to sing the high part. i couldnt stop laughing. but the funniest thing that happend was when the teacher left and clemens just went crazy on the drums. it was good but he was drumming so fast and then all of a sudden he stopped and he just fell down. everyone was laughing and it was probably one of the funniest things i had ever seen. ohh i love that class. the rest of my classes were very boring and i had a test in history. yuck. oh well. all is good now:)
in my german lesson i read a story about a little boy named Franz that was short, looked like a girl and had a really high pitched voice when he got angry.. yes interesting i know.
im so happy because tomorrow is my last day of school for the week! thursday im going to get my visa taken care of because my host dad will be wherever it is that i need to get my visa done so im just going with him then. friday there is no school and theres no school monday either! so i get a 5 day weekend! id say thats pretty solid. i also have my orientation camp this weekend so i hope that is fun.
tomorrow i have gym and we are jumping on trampolines!!! or something like that and i am so excited! i love trampolines! but i did have a nightmare last night. it was really really scary. i dreamt that i went to gym and instead of trampolines our teacher made us NORDIC WALK around the gym!! i am absolutely terrified that that will actually happen. fingers crossed that we will in fact be jumping on trampolines!

sheeeepsheepsheep:)

well i think regina will hit me for making sheeeepsheepsheep:)the title of my blog. i wont say why because that would just be cruisin for a bruisin. so ill just leave it at that:)
school was not as fun as most mondays because there was no music class. but instead after school i went to go have a coffee with lukas. that was very nice:)
and i gave a presentation about alaska in my english class. that was fun too.
so tonight we had our workout class. that was funny. haha all i can say about it is sheep. and regina attacked me with the mats.. haha so funny. oh she will hit me again for talking about it. haha but its worth it:)
and i got a bunch of music from sam today! i like it all very much. so thanks! well i look forward to music class tomorrow. although i only get one hour because sam and i have to go to take german with the second class for the first hour:( and then tomorrow night i have my german lesson! so that means i have to finish the book my teacher lent me! goodbye:)

i love weekends:)

well saturday during the day was very chill. i mostly read and just hung around.
saturday night was so funny. so sam, her host sister and i went to the ennsdance but the music gave me a headache because it was just a constant bass that all sounded the same. like im pretty sure they played the same song the whole time we were there.. so after a while we left and sam and i met up with tommy and sophie at the turmcafe. i am so happy we did that instead of the dance. it was so much fun and it was really funny.
today was also a very relaxing day. i was so tired from last night and i just wanted to sleep all day. but i read some more and this book is really cool! i also put the finishing touches on my powerpoint about alaska for tomorrow. so im all set for school. the sad thing is there is no music class tomorrow:( but tommy said he would teach me how to play guitar so i look forward to that! and after school im getting a coffee or something with lukas so that should be nice as well:)
i got to talk to my parents tonight! i liked that a lot. and i chatted with andrew and josh a bit. i wish more people would get online! i love and miss everyone!

die nibelungen

yesterday was a very funny day. after school sam and i walked to her house and hungout there for a while where she happened to do something that she had been avoiding all week. i cant say what it is because she would be very upset with me. but just know it was hilarious. but we had some toast with nutella and she gave me some of her music! then at 3 we went back to enns to meet melina at a cafe and we ast there and talked for a couple hours before we went to our train. but while we were there we met grandma enns who talked to us for a bit and she was nice although i dont think she knows any english. but that doesnt matter. so after the cafe we stopped at a crafts store where i picked out some string so sam can make me a bracelet and then we walked to the train that took us to linz. once we got to linz we walked to the mcdonalds where we got some potato slices or whatever there called and sat down until we went to the theater at 7. when 7 came we walked to the theater and met up with our class. the play we saw was very interesting to say the least. i knew what was going on i just couldnt understand why so i made up my own story. heres what i got:

the first act started in a gymnastic place where this purple girl (she wasnt actually purple, just her outfit was) was hanging around in and then these 4 guys came in and started warming up. then the white guy(dressed in all white) came in and was like "hey, i have a mask that makes me invisable!" so then they all went to the underworld to challenge the crazy lesbian vampire lady to a gymnastic dual and the leader guy with the help of the white guy and his invisibility mask cheated and won the dual. so then the crazy lesbian vampire lady had to come back and marry the leader guy. while they were getting married, the purple girl and the white guy also got married. then while the purple girl was swinging around the white guy, with his mask on, helped the leader guy rape the crazy lesbian vampire lady. then the leader guy and crazy lady left and purple girl came back and then spent the night with white guy and when she woke up he was off working out.. and she found the crazy lesbian vampire lady´s underwear and she thought they were for her so she put them on and then white guy came back and was like ahhh dont wear those! and purple girl freaked out and was ike omg what are you doing with these?! and she ran away and then she was talking to crazy lady and was like my husband had these blahblahblah and then the crazy lady realized the leader guy actually wasnt stronger than her and she got all mad and ran away and then everybody got really pissed of at the purple girl for telling the crazy lady and then everyone left except the purple girl and the guy in all black. and they started talking and then all of a sudden she was like "nein nein nein.." and then they left and all the guys were in the forrest and then white guy came and was going crazy and then they were all thirsty so they all went to drink water out of a bucket but when white guy went to go drink they slammed his head in the bucket and killed him and blood went everywhere. then the guy in black picked him up and put him in bed with the purple girl then left. then she woke up and went crazy and eeryone came in and she went all maria on everybody and they carried him off. and that was the end of the first half

during intermission i talked to vale! she was there with her class too. it was so nice to see another afser and i will get to see her again next weekend at our secong arrival camp.

second half:
this half was about the russian mafia. a bunch of detectives came to bust the head of the russian mafia but he was like nooo have some russian vodka and they were like okay! and they partied all night and got super drunk. one guy killed a cucumber with a knife and other guys were singing and playing the guitar. one guy got laid by the russian mafia guys hooker wife. and then his girl with a gun was freaking out about something. and so then they all went to bed and when they woke up they all came out and were laughing and having a good time and what a wonderful world was plaing and then all of a sudden one of the detective guys was like just kidding! im part of the mafia too! and killed everyone except the main russian mafia guy . and that was the end..

so i looked up what the play was actually about and i translated what it said and so here it is:
It is the stuff of epics, medieval Europe, the Friedrich Hebbel, after a long period of oblivion in the 19th Century, rediscovered and processed into a great tragedy: the Nibelung. The dragon tamer Siegfried, supposedly invulnerable hero who is in possession of the legendary Nibelungen treasure, stops at Burgunderhof King Gunther for the hand of Princess Kriemhild. King Gunther granted him this but only if he in turn assists Siegfried in the solicitation of the invincible, virgin Brunhild, queen of Iceland. Siegfried enters into a pact with the Burgundians: By means of his magic hat, he conquers Brunhild for Kriemhild, Gunther and receives for his wife. But the fraud and flies on to the deed of the men follows the revenge of the women wounded to death calls Brunhild Siegfried's death. The burgundy Hagen Tronje, which Siegfried has always been a thorn in the side, treacherously murdered him from behind. Now turn Kriemhild swears revenge and, after her marriage to Etzel, king of the Huns, to lure the Burgundians to the court. At the end there is a war that hardly anyone will survive. Writer and director Volker Schmidt dealt with the tragedy of love and hate, pride and shame and envy and fraud, headed by ruthless revenge and death.
heres the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J8cAnzCsrY

so as you can see i was a little bit off. but no problem. i liked my version the best:)
so after the show sam, tommy, danny, florian and i walked to the train station where we met some other guy who was.. nice. and we went home. i got off with sam in ennsdorf and her host sister took me home. so yesterday was very eventful. i cant wait for tonight! im going to the ennsdance with sam and melina and i think isabelle as well. i promise to take lots of pictures!

im so excited! i just cant hide it:)

so today i went into two of the 3rd classes that my english teacher also teaches to show them pictures and talk about alaska. i actually had a good time. they were all really interested and asked a lot of questions so we ended up talking the whole hour. so that was fun. my other classes were boring.. except math. that was very entertaining. today sam and i sat by tommy and it was very funny. except when tommy through a paper ball at me and then threw one at manny and told him it was me and so manny threw one at me that hit me in the head.. but it was funny. i also have drawings on my arm compliments of tommy. but it definitely made math more interesting because otherwise we werent really doing anything.
after school i went straight to my german lessons. it was a very long lesson today but it was still good. and my teacher gave me a book to read because we still had an hour before we were going to the train station and the lesson was finished. the book is actually really good! its a murder mystery called Death in the Clouds. its about a woman who was killed on an airplane. its very cool.
but all i have to say right now is thank gooooood tomorrow is friday! im so happy for the weekend. i love weekends:) tomorrow my class is going to the theater and im going to the schlosscafe with sam and melina and isabelle. that should be fun:) and then the dance on saturday! oh im so excited. i just cant hide it:)

jump rope:)

today was really fun. well gym was anyway. my other classes were uninteresting. but in gym we played jump rope! haha it sounds lame.. but it was very funny and i learned some new tricks:) i am now able to do a front handspring and then start jumping after. its so cool! sam is crazy good at jump roping though. she made me look like a fool. after jumping for a while we played some two on two. not as exciting becasue there was only four of us.. but better than nothing! isabelle and i totally dominated. sorry sam:)
the weather today was not good! we had a little bit of snow and on and off showers allllll day. yuck. but im happy the weekend is almost here. i have made some good plans and i cant wait to just relax. ive spent all afternoon working on my alaska powerpoint for engligh class which is due monday and im almost done so thats good. tomorrow im going into two of my english teachers other classes to show some pictures and talk about alaska. that should be interesting.
but i might have to start german class with the 2nd class tomorrow! ughh how embarassing. i will be in my 11 year old host sisters class. im thrilled. the good news is that it will help me learn german faster. i learned some new phrases today! although im not really sure how to spell them. so once i figure that out ill let you know.
regina made a cake tonight!! it was really good:) but now since none of my friends have a birthday today i have to come up with a creative title for this blog. hmmmm.

happy birthday andrew!

we had mac and cheese for dinner!!! yuuum:) it was so good.
well school had a good start. as every tuesday does thanks to music. it was very cool today because tommy danny and clemens got to choose what song we sang and they picked hold the line by toto. and they playd it and they projected the lyrics on the wall so everyone could sing along and it was very funny. they are all so good!
the rest of my classes were not as exciting. althiough i did find out that starting next week every tuesday wednesday and friday sam and i will be going to learn german with the second class. woooo. that means ill have a class with my host sister teresa. ohh ill feel so cool:)
but the day ended early which was very nice and i hungout with manny and tommy for a while. that was fun. then i went to the trainstation and i as i was sitting and waiting for the train to come it started rainging! i had to go inside because it was crazy and i didnt like it.
but my german lessons were cancelled today because my teacher fell asleep and didnt hear the phone ringing.. haha but she said that she will pick me up on thursday to have my lesson.
alright well not much else happened today. but i think regina might make a cake:) so i look forward to having some of that.
aaaand i have to say happy birthday to andrew! have fun learning about the alaska marine highway!

happy birthday cam!

today was really gross:( it was super rainy and cold and i didnt like it.english today was better than usual! we had a student teacher from arkansas that was here last year come again. his name is kevin and he will be coming in every other monday to teach us. he seems really cool. which is good because that will make me actually look forward to that class! and then music today was fun. we sang the song cryin by aerosmith. it was a fun song to sing to and with clemens on the drums it was even more fun. other than that school was fairly dull and i looked forward to coming home.
tonight we went to the workout class again. i think i will have single, single, double. single, single, double stuck in my head for the rest of the night...
i cant wait for this week to be over. with all the rain i cant wait to just hangout and relax. on friday my german class is going to a play in linz and then on saturday is the enns dance and i have plans to hangout with friends so i am most definitely looking forward to all of this. and even though it is raining a good friend of mine reminded me of the benefits of it. so i guess that makes me feel a little bit better. otherwise its back to alaska weather with a chances of snow in the morning. accorading to regina. i hope shes wrong..

and i must wish camden a happy birthday today! i hope it was a good one:) and andrews birthday is tomorrow. so happy early birthday! i miss and love you both!

arts and crafts

alright so sarting with yesterday. it was a pretty boring day and i really didnt do too much but that night i met up with sam and tommy at the turmcafe where we hung out until 2 other people from the 8th class joined us and then lukas came later and we all hung out. it was a verrrryyy funny night. not quite as exciting as friday but i think even more entertaining. today was also uneventful. but i did make something cool! i cant upload a picture yet but when i do ill post it! it doesnt look too good because its only the first time i made one but i still like it. what you do is you take cotton and you pull it apart and make layers and then you can make a picture with different colors and then you pour hot water all over it and then pat it down and add soap and then you just rub it for like an hour. it took forever and my arms started to hurt. then you rinse it off and let it dry. mine is still drying but it should be good to go in the morning! for dinner tonight my host moms brother and his girlfriend came and we sat around and talked for a long time. they showed us their picture album of what they did this summer and it was really cool. they went to mexico and the us and they took so many pictures. they also had some funny stories. so that made me think that i should make a scrapbook or something of while im here. a blog just simply isnt enough!
well there is school again tomorrow:( i dont look forward to it because the weather isnt nice anymore and were not really doing anything interesting. but i do have music! which is the best news ive had all day. i hope everyone else had a good weekend!

dirndl

school yesterday was a little more exciting than usual. it certainly was funny. in physics we did a lab that was pretty cool. i was in a group with sam tommy manny and laurence. it was sooo funny. in the lab we had to use lenses and and stuff to make lights on the wall or somethingl ike that and the first one we did kiiinda failed. but then the next two were good! after me and sam helped them out a bit:)
after school sam melina isabelle and i went to the trainstation and went to linz to get oreo shakes and go shopping! first we got oreo shakes and they were fantastic. just as expected. and then we went to the H&M where i got a new jacket and a sweater. and then manuela met up with us and we went around to different stores and looked around. then we came across a dirndl store! sam and i both tried on dirndls and they looked so cute! i liked it very much! i wanted to buy it but i didnt have enough money.. so im saving up and i will get one:) sam and i didnt have cameras with us but we took pictures on our phones so as soon as i can get a picture i will post it!
then before we went back to enns we got chinese food. it was soooo good. i had not had chinese food in so long so it was a very nice treat. and then i have to tell you guys about the bathroom they had at the mall we were at. it was so cool! between the stalls and the sinks there was a glass wall the had bamboo in it and they were alternating with white and brown bamboo and then there was a green light under lighting it all up. and then the sinks werent like normal sinks. there wasnt a basin. it was jsut tilted a little bit and the water would just run off the side and the faucets were about 6 inches wide and the water came out like a fountain. it was so cool! defintely the coolest bathroom i had every been in.
once we got back to enns melina and manuela went one way back home and sam isabelle and i walked toward the center of enns. when we were almost at the center isabelle went to her house and sam and i went on to the turmcafe where we met up with tommy and sophie. and then danny joined us and then laurence and lukas and then more and more people came and it was a really fun night filled with singing and laughing. at midnight sams host dad picked us up and brought me home. it was very fun and i cant wait to go out again tonight!
the only bad thing about yesterday was the bad weather began. it rained a lot and this morning is very cloudy. i dont like it:( oh well today will be fun regardless of the weather!


heres the pictures!!

forrest:)

school today was off to a good start! first period we had bio but our teacher isnt here for whatever reason so we were just in the computer room doing nothing. and then sam and i had a free hour! so that was nice. the rest of the day was very boring and we really didnt do anything.
after school i hung out with manny for a little bit. it was nice but not for very long. when i went to the train station the exchange student from brazil that is in the 6th class was there too and we sat next to eachother on the train and talked for a little bit. but then i rode my bike home where i got something to eat and then spent the rest of the afternoon reading my book. and then i watched glee! i like that show very much!
i am really looking forward to tomorrow! after school sam, melina, isabelle and i are going to Linz! sam wants to get gifts for people back home and were going to get oreo shakes:) then after sam and i will be going to the turmcafe to meet lukas and im sure tommy and hangout. it will be a start to a very fun weekend:)

also for all of you that know forrest, he is about to leaving to go to brazil soon! i suggest all of you read his blog to keep updated. i know i will:)

was hast du heute in der schule gemacht?

it was absolutely gorgeous out today. the temperature was about 80 degrees:) ohh i like it so much! and its still warm out even though its completely dark. its very nice.
well school today was boring as usual. sam downloaded a psych book so that we could understand what was going on but it just turned out to be incredibly boring. oh well. were still learning! in english class everyone is doing presentations about what they learned last year and since i wasnt here last year im just going to do a presentation about alaska. i was going to do it on a play they read but i read it and it was horrible. badly written and just very stereotypical of teenagers. so i said ill just take the opportunity to talk about alaska because i havent dont that yet. my english teacher asked me to come to two of her other classes next week to answer questions about alaska because her students read something about it. that should be interesting. but how nice am i to give up both of my free hours next thursday to come to her classes? reeeal nice.
today i spoke with sam in german for a bit! and also with tommy. i was just asking them was hast du in der schule gemacht? which means what did you do in school today? and we spoke about that. and then i went around asking whoever i saw was hast du in der schule gemacht. i didnt understand everything that they said but i did get most of it and they told me the word i didnt understand so it was very good. i think every day ill come up with a new phrase to say. i think its a good way to learn.
guess what we did in gym today... nordic walking! not good. and so we walked far and then we walked to our english teachers house so we could collect the walnuts and hazelnuts in her yard for her. the only good thing that came of that was we got to eat something. the walnuts were actually really good! other that that gym was boring. i do not like nordic walking! i wanted to play a game! today gym was moved up two hours so instead of being done at 5 we only went to 3. i liked that much better. although i did miss the two hour break where we can get something to eat. oh well next week were back to the usual schedule.
well i hope the weather continues to stay hot!

pleasee no nordic walking!

well i felt very good waking up this morning:) got a good 9 hours of sleep and was looking forward to another nice day. unfortunately mother nature didnt quite comply as i had hoped... but it was still warm out!
school had a very good start. 2 hours of music. we sang bridge over troubled water and bleeding love. bleeding love was hilarious. between the guys trying to sing the high soprano and tommy playing the drums i couldnt stop laughing. it was truely funny and very enjoyable. my other classes were boring but tomorrow we have gym. cross my fingers there will be no nordic walking. otherwise i look forward to that class.
so i had my second german class today. it went well and id really like to think my german is improving!
well now i am just sitting at the computer listening to the comforting crackle of the fire and the lovely norah jones. i miss everyone at home and i hope all is well.
also i wish forrest good luck in brazil! i hope you have as much fun as i am having:)

put the banana in your ear!

it was a gorgeous day today. the sky was clear and the sun was shining. it was hot:) during our break sam and i went outside because it would have been a crime to wait inside. school itself was again boring. and we had math TWICE today! i did not like that. but oh well. we had music today! and music is definitely my favorite class. all the guys in my class can play every instrument and its really cool! the song we had today was creep and they made it sound really good. i didnt care for the song much though. it wasnt very fun to sing to. i want to sing more upbeat songs! oh well. today was a long day. i had school until 5:( so now i am ready to go to sleep. maybe i will actually be able to wake up tomorrow morning. that would be nice.
i also must say the regina IS the banana king

lazy days

well today was just a boring old sunday. but there is a really cool sunset. although this picture doesnt do it any justice.
today was just a lazy day. no one was doing anything so we just lounged around and i read some and thought about how good this weekend was! i liked it very much and i hope there are many more like it. although im sure there will be:)
well there is school again tomorrow.. that means waking up early. yuuuck. but i think sam will be back!

friday and saturday

sorry i missed yesterday guys. i was waaayyy too tired to blog when i got home. but anyways..
school yesterday was not very excited. and sam was home sick! so i was alittle bit lost. but with some help from alex and judith i managed to get to where i needed to be. but we really didnt do much in any of our classes. for one we had a sub so we didnt do anything at all and tehn the other one the teacher wasnt even in the room so we just messed around. but i did get done with school at 12:15 and then i went home and hungout for a while. later last night i took the train to enns and first met danny and some of his friends in the park behind the castle to hangout. and i met his friend richi who was really nice! he talked to me a lot last night. but then some other people from the 7b class met up with us and we went to the turmcafe where we were joined by carmen and lukas and his friend mo. mo was really nice:) quiet but nice. but then i took the last train back home and fell asleep as soon as i hit the pillow.
today was really fun. i met with lukas and we went to linz for the day. first we walked to the fair that was there and we rode on this one ride.. i cant remember the name but basically we were spinning around and it was really fun. the ride in the middle with the things at each end was what it looked like.

it was really fun. and then we walked around for a while until we saw a coffee shop where they had oreo shakes! i really wanted to get one because at the mcdonalds here they dont have oreo mcflurrys. so i wanted to have the closest thing. and this shake turned out to be wayyy better. i liked it soo much. now everytime i go to linz i will have to get one. but we sat in that coffee place for soo long. when we went in it was still ight outside and it was also very warm. but when we left it was dark and cold! so we took the next train back to enns where we met tommy at the turmcafe and we spent some time with him. it was really funny. and tommy invited me to his band rehearsal on wednesday! so i really look forward to that:)
well now i am off to bed as it is late and i am tired. i hope that everyone at home is doing well!

names day

names day is quite the holiday here. today it was teresas name day and i almost thought it was her birthday. there was wine, cake, presents, flowers, and the beatles. sounds like a birthday to me. but no her birthday is on the 26th. which is just 4 days before my mothers! and tiffanies! happy really early birthday guys! i love you!
but yes so her names day was good i think. we had the cake that regina and i made last night and it was absolutely delicious! it was a chocolate cake with bananas on top and then a cream type thing on top of them and then chocolate on top of that. sooo good:)
school today was really boring. more than usually. really the only interesting thing that happened was in chemistry when we tasted some crystal or something that tasted like lemon. it was really good! but yeah not much else happened. i was done with school at 1:10 and then went home. i was really tired. but the good news is im getting over my cold!! im very happy about that. the bad news... i have two more mosquitoe bites. not so happy about that. oh well.. its not a big deal. im really excited for this weekend. it should be fun:)
