school last week was fine but everyone was really just looking forward to the ball we had on saturday.
on thursday i got to play basketball! that was really fun. one of the english teachers at the school told me about a team i could go practice with. i went and ended up being the only girl. there are girls that play but they are all like 14.. so they are letting me play with the guys which included a 15 year old all the way to like a 30 year old. it was really great. it felt good to play basketball again.
so then on saturday was our schools matura ball. and i think everyone in enns went. there were so many people. the ball was really funny. and i had a good time. clemens tried to teach me how to dance but i just couldnt haha. i think it was cha-cha-cha. but it was still fun. then after the ball i slept over at katja's house.
the only bad news was sunday night i got sick :( i had a fever and a terrible cough. i also had it again today so i didnt get to go to school :( i actually wanted to go. weird.. so i really hope tomorrow morning i feel better. i dont want to miss two days of school in a row. and i want to go to the basketball practice tomorrow! but by the looks of it thats not going to happen :(

basketball news :)
so today was pretty fun. i got to play basketball! we ended up having class with like the second class because our class got moved up. the first hour was dumb because we just ran around the gym. but then for the second hour they split the gym in half and so they put all the little kids on one side and they let the five of us take the other side. kati, allessa and judith played volleyball, sam did yoga, and i took on herr professor Kaiser in basketball. i lost. he owned me. but the plus side is my free throws are looking good. he told me that if i came to the conference room tomorrow during the big break that we could talk to another professor that knew more about the basketball teams here and that he could help me find a team to play with. so thats good :)
hmm other than that nothing else is really going on. i have a lot going on this weekend though so im really excited for that!
so ill let you know how tomorrow goes :)

music class
so monday. we finally had our extra music class again! it was nice:) we sang broken strings by james morrison. it was a good song but it was kinda sad.. i want to sing something more fun and upbeat to sing! the only bad news was thanks to tommy i had to sing the song using a mic. definitely not what i had in mind since that was the first time i had ever heard that song. oh well. music is still my favorite class. then monday night we went to do our aerobic class thing.. that was kinda fun. the music was fun to sing to. i made the best joke ever as well! sam was on the ground crying. thats how funny it was. but you had to have been there to get it so i wont bother trying to explain it :)
today first we had german with the second class. were reading the hobbit. i kiinda know whats going on but its still hard to understand. they read slower than my class does but still pretty fast. then we had music. we sang a bunch of random songs. including falco, abba, and toto. it was a funny class. school was pretty chill today.
and i finally got that package from my family! i absolutely love the candy corn they sent me :) that is definitely my favorite. and i of course love the singing cards. they always make me laugh.
well tomorrow i have gym. the good news is that instead of having it from 3-5 it was moved to 1-3. so i get to come home earlier. but i have no idea what were doing. please no nordic walking. im crossing my fingers

so on thursday guess what i did.. NORDIC WALKING. its really not good. i hate it. it was so boring. the only good thing was that it was warm outside. so that was nice. i didnt have to wear a jacket until i had to ride my bike home.
friday school was pretty chill. but MANI told me that i have been spelling his name wrong this whole time:( its not nny its just ni. so i wont make that mistake anymore MANI. :) then that night i went to the schlosscafe and stayed there for a while. i hungout there with a bunch of people and we tried to make smores with the heart shaped marshmallows that ines had. but it didnt work too well. and then they wanted to go play pool so we went to the poststuberl or something like that.. except when we got there it was broken :( so we just sat around and talked for a while and then i went home.
on saturday i went to go see tommys bands gig. they were REALLY good! this gig was just a small one so they only played a few of there songs but i cant wait for one of their big ones! ill definitely be there.
so thats everything! OH! i finally got my computer hooked up to the internet at my hostfamilys house! or rather, regina found the password to hook it up. so thanks regina!! i like it :)
alright well now thats it. for the rest of today i plan on just relaxing. and i get to talk to my family tonight! so i look forward to that. and now that my computer is working we can use ichat and have a video chat. that should be nice.

today was defintely not boring
Today was by far the greatest day of school ever.
but starting with tuesday! today was so cool i cant remember. the end :)
on to today! so today all the little kids and their parents came to see if they wanted to send their kids to our school. so naturally we had to involve fire to make our school seem cooler. so sam and i went to german and then we spent the rest of the day in our chemistry class showing the same experiments over and over again. but it was fun! so the first one was where we had a redbull can that had the top cut off and a small hole in the bottom. we gilled it with some sort of gas and then lit top (which was the bottom of the can). after a while the can started to "sing" and then it popped and flew up and hit the ceiling. then there was a flask that had some stuff in it.. i didnt really understand this one but when you shook the flask the color of the liquid inside turned blue. then after it sat for a bit it went back to being clear. then there was one where we made a top levitate! it was with a magnet of course but it was still cool. then there were the fire experiments! the first one we put some cotton in our hand and then heated a glass rod. when the rod was hot enough you touch it on the cotton and it bursts into flames! then the other one we ate fire! that was my favorite. it was so cool. ill add the videos on here because it was awesome:)
and i have to add this video of our chem teacher because he is crazy insane at juggling. he did a bunch of other tricks too. it was so cool.
and the good news is gym was cancelled for today!!!!! the bad news is we have to do it tomorrow. and guess what were doing. NORDIC WALKING. shoot me. please.

mens volleyball, halloween parties, and shopping. oh my!
alright sorry i didnt update for a few days.. i was too lazy:)
so starting with friday then. that evening sam and i decided to go to a basketball game. but instead of it being a basketball game it ended up being a mens volleyball game. that can get pretty intense. it was so funny. me andsam had no idea what was going on but it was entertaining anyway. then we went to the turmcafe to meet up with friends from school. but we decided to go to a different place instead so we walked there and hungout there all night. it was very funny. then sams host parents picked us up on the way home from a psrty that they were at.
saturday morning i went to linz with sam and we went shopping:) it was fun and we did a good job of only getting what we came for. so that was good. then at 4 we went to the afs get together at the train station and hungout there for a while. then we came back to my house where we learned some country styled dances for music class and just hungout until everyone else going to the halloween party came. then we went to the party and i dont think we came home until like 4:30ishh. it was crazy. the music was really good and i did a lot dancing.
then on sunday it was very chill. regina and i were home alone because the rest of the family was in steyer. and then today we also did nothing. but then i had to go to my german lesson. so i was there for two hours and then came back. no im just hanging out thinking about how i do not want to go to school tomorrow:( oh well. i have music class!
