Update

Hey everyone!
First of all, I am SO SORRY that there weren't any Posts for nearly one month now. SO I'm gonna give you a short update on what happened until now.

The rest of Christmas break was a lot of fun; my first american Christmas was an experience I'll never Forget, thanks to everyone who send something over! :) After Christmas break, we relaxed a lot until we had to get back to School in early January.

After two regular, but stressfull weeks of School, everybody started to realize that there was only one week left til Semester finals, which made the following week evern more stressful. Everybody has two write a 2-hour exam for each of their classes, which are Held in the gym. It started with US History on Sunday, followed by Latin and Math on Tuesday. The plan was to have the Science Exam on Tuesday and the English exam on Wednesday followed by a Long weekend til Sunday. But, thanks to snow Blizzard Juno, Miss Hall'S decided to cancel them and allowed us to leave on monday already. The exams were moved to the following Monday and Tuesday. Oh, and btw, although the Blizzard was supposed to bring 3 ft, it ende up bringing like 5 inches :D.

For Long Weekend, I ewnt to another friends house who I have History and English class with.
On Monday, we basically just watched movies, ate Food and talked a lot. :D On Tuesday, we finishes the first season of Gossip Girl :D and just relaxed. On Wednesday, we had a pretty relaxed day as well (I mean, what's better than this for a Long Weekend? :)) , but in the evening I got invited to go to FLORIDA(!!!!!!) for Spring Break with them. After asking my parents and getting the permission (THANK YOU AGAIN! :)), my friend and I started looking at the Hotel and we both got so PUMPED!!! Additionally, two other friends also came over for a sleep over, which was a lot of fun! We also watched "The Interview", which was a Little weird, but still funny! :)´On Thursday, we were planning on going to a Little City nearby right in the morning but as it was literally freezing outside, we instead stayed home and went to the outlets in the afternoon instead. It was a ton of fun, and I found myself some really nice things as well! :) On Friday, we didn't really do anything... :)
Today (Saturday), my friend went to Dance practice, so her mom took her sister to riding lessons and drove up to the mall with me, where I saw some really pretty Bikinis for Florida (didn't buy them though) and bought a bunch of Food for my room!

Tomorrow, I'm going back to School, before I will have to take my last two exams. And then ist only 4 more weeks til Florida!!!

Christmas Break Day #1 and Day #2

Hey everyone!
So I decided to post more often during break as I have more time now!

This friday was our last School day! As my host sister had a Basketball Tournament both Friday after School and Saturday, I spent most of my time there!

On Friday, we ate dinner in a Little bar, where I had really good Quesadillas and an amazing brownie for Dessert! Having non-School Food was really nice too!!! :)

On Saturday, we went to the Tournament again - after making a short stop at School as I forgot my phone charger! :) It was a lot of fun to see the Team play! After having fried shrimp at Applebee's for lunch, Miss Hall's finally played in the finale - and they won! But as it was pretty late already, we just went back home!

Sunday was a lot more exciting. In the morning, we all were just sitting around in our PJs, playing Mario Kart, until my host sister's Little Cousin came to bake Christmas Cookies with us! We made delicious chocolate chip Cookies and adorable Reindeer Peanut butter Cookies and had a lot of fun! After she got picked up by her mother, we all went to pick the Christmas tree which was a totally new experience for me and it was also a lot of fun! In the evening, we just spent some time together and then, we watched "Sound of Music", which was really interesting and it was so funny to hear some german words, as it was filmed in Austria!

Tomorrow, we're gonna go to the Mall to get the last Christmas presents!

Merry Christmas and see you next time,
Sophie

Week #7: Long Weekend and Halloween

Hey everyone!

Last week was a normal one, but on Saturday, the Long Weekend started!!!

Saturday:
On Saturday, Convocation and the Installation of our new Head of School took place. Afterwards, I went back to my room to put all my things into my suitcase, as the Long Weekend was about to start!!! After spending a very lazy day, one of my friends picked me up to go to her house for the Weekend. On the way there, we stopped at a Halloween Store, which was so cool! She got herself an Anna costume (from Frozen) and I got crazy glasses for Spirit Week (see end of post). Additionally, we saw a just amazing decorated House, which even had a certain Radio wave, where the Music was connected to the lights at the house! When we finally arrived at her house, I got to know the rest of her Family and ate a really yummy (and spicy) Chili! AS it was already pretty late, we just went into her room and watched Frozen. It was my first time watching it and although I really liked it, I do not really enjoy the Hype about it...

Sunday:
After a really yummy breakfast - home fries, Bacon and omelet - we went to the Cinema, where we watched "Alexander and the horrible, no good, very bad day", which is very funny! Afterwards, we went to a grocery store, where we bought some ingredients for all the yummy things we had planned to bake during the Weekend! On the way back home, we stopped at a little farm to get eggs and milk and Jackie (my friend) and I took a lot of "artsy" Pictures! :)
After having really good Pumpkin Pie, we made some Mug-Brownies, which were really really yummy! And then, we went to her mother's house, where I met the cutest dog on earth! After this, we actually just watched movies! :)

Monday:
Monday, we slept really long (11 a.m.) and just got up to get some bagels for breakfast and then returned back to the bed to watch some more movies. After we spent basically the whole day without moving :), we finally left the bed in the evening, as her sister had Swimming practice and we went with her. As it was pretty chilly outside, we went to a Little shop to get hot chocolate! And when we returned home, we continued watching movies! :)

Tuesday:
On Tuesday, we got up pretty early, as her sister woke us up - thinking that we would have School...
So we watched movies again (Spy Kids 1-4 :D) before we went to her old School - together with another Girl, Hayden - where we took a lot of Pictures! :) In the evening, we made some brownies (with a baking mix :D), who were supposed to be in Disney shape (Mickey Mouse :D).

Wednesday:
Wednesday was probably the most active day! :) We (Jackie, Hayden and me) went shopping! :) I got some really comfy PJ Pants, normal Pants and some Food! (Actually a lot of Food: D) Afterwards, we went to a really good Mexican Restaurant, where I ate a wrap with French fries, and where we spent two entire hours just talking! :)
Unfortunately, the Long Weekend was over, ´therefore I had to return back to School. On the way back, we stopped again at the Halloween store, where I got a banana costume! 

Thursday:
Just a normal day :)

Friday:
As Friday was Halloween, we were allowed to wear our costumes during the day and additionally, we had a Fashion Show at Morning Meeting!  There were so many different kind of costumes! Some other bananas, Hotdogs, witches, minions, and lots of characters from movies! In the evening, we had the Spook Walk, which was organized by the Seniors and although it wasn't really scary, it was still a lot of fun! :)

Saturday and Sunday:
The Weekend was basically just Relaxing, going to a Dance on Saturday and studying for tests! :)


By the way, next week, we will have SPIRIT WEEK!!! During this week, every day has a Special theme and by Dressing up, you can earn Points for your Team (Blue/Gold).
