ouf!

what a day, I'm so tired and so totally without energy.
this day was so exhaustig because I was babysitting for 4 hours for 4 kids, so busy the whole time, but vicky was there so it was good.
but the two little boys 1 & 2 were almost crying the whole time, one becuase he wanted attention and the other one because he wanted his mum, the whole time. after 3 hours a little bit annoying^^
but I got $ 50 for this, so not bad for only 4 hours.
perhaps I can do more times;)
last week at school we got our grade reports, I did good in almost every subject
in math, science, life&team sports and french a A, the best grade, in english with 0.4 points a B and in History a C, but that's not that bad, becuase I made two A's since the report, so no more C's, I'm pretty sure;)
and next saturday the day, i'm sooooooooooo excited, but it will be so funny, I'm sure, really, epecially because my date is such a nice boy from my english class^^
Yesterday I was shopping and I got a jacket with dots, so cute and a blouse, very pretty, but I still need boots and a skirt, so more shopping!!!!!!

hey there

I'm in the homecoming court!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I made it
I'm so happy about that, because only four girls from my grade got into it, and I made it!!!!I know I'm repeating myself but I just so happy^^

Now I have to go clothes shopping because they have stict rules, what I'm alowed to wear and what not!

I'm not allowed to wear a dress, and I have to wear a skirt and a jacket, but the skirt has to have at least knee length and it forbidden to see skin when you wear a jacket!!! They are so crazy.

Except for that nothing really special happened last week, but it was so funny when they announced, who's in the court.

because there they said alle the other names first and then:' Johanna The german Girl'

Now everybody knows me as the german girl^^

At Friday there was a Footballgame, and my school won again, but we pip. In the last minute we made a touchdown and won 17-14, everybody was so glad.

everybody saysthat this is a good year for me to come to the US, because last year Tuscola was so bad and lost almost every single game^^

But I wasn't paying so much attontion at the game because I had to kept myself warm. I was even so stupid to wear shorts!!!

At the evening at about 6 o'clock, when I left from home it was so sunny and warm, but then at about 8:30 it got cloder and colder and so I sat down with a blanket over my knees, so that I won't freeze^^

But it was funny^^

From yesterday to today my little Hostsister had her birthday party, so cute.

The whole house was decorated but so kitchy^^

This was her borthday cake for today, but i'm gonna make a blackforestcake for her real Birthday, which is on Tuesday, so if you think about it brings badluck, to do something like that^^That was at hte table, cute isn't it^^

That were their glasses, where they drank Hawaiian punch out of them^^

The whole table, everthing with flowers, bright colors, ...

And what is very important for a hawaiian theme, the language, so Aloha to everybody^^

And the important person for the birthday, Vicky;)

homecoming

hey
I'm back^^
since thursday, not very much happened, but I just wanted to write something for you, so everyboday can comment it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^^
this weekend i was at the Asheville Malll, a huge, huge center for everything^^
I bought a sweater and some gifts, for my little sister, ...(both, the one here and teh one at germany^^)
I've also seen this beuatiful dress, but I didn't need it at the moment^^
But at the summer I'm going to go Prom Dress shopping with a lot of my friends:)
I'm sooooooooooooo excited about homecoming, because the game is at my Birthday;) and today I was nominated for homecoming court.
it's a pity that i can't be Homecoming queen, but only a Senoir can be the queen. but the court also goes on the football field in nice dresses and with flowers and ...
In a few days there are the final elections, and I really hope the a lot are gonna vote for me^^
It would be such a great experience^^
tomorrow it is picture day, arrrrgh, let's see what's going on^^
Oh yeh, about the school, last friday I had my first Advanced Placement Scinece test, it was soooooooooooooooooo difficult, and I didn't know allt eh word, although I used my dictionnaire
But the teacher is very nice, and so he allowed me to take the test home and finish it there^^
but I think this test is not gonna cout for me^^
see ya
love you all

my day

ok
Now I will just describe my typical day, because here nothing special is happening^^
normally, when I have to take a shower, I'm getting up at 6.30, if not at 6.45
then I'm gonna have breakfast, toast or cereals (my family has a whole shelf full with cereals, but that's nothing special here, it's normal^^ I know I always writing about the food^^)
We're leaving at 7.15 at before Fil drops me of, we have to bring Est to his school.
Normally I'm at school at about 7.50, so not very long to talk to got to my locker and to be punctual for my first period:band
1.There, when the band isn't divided into marching band and symphonic band, we're playing warm-up exercises.
I hat them^^ scales, ...
after them we're playing different pieces, some are easy, some are difficult^^
them at 8.55 the first period is over.
2. PE, it's very boring because last week we only played volleyball, and some of the girls re too stupid, to hit the ball, aaaaarrrrgggghhhh annoying^
today we played Quickball, which is like baseball, but a little bit more complicated.
So it was funny today
3. English, there are we reading a book, called 'The Crucible', weird;) but the teacher is very very nice^^
4. French with Dr. Fox, my teacher. He's weird, because everybody saiys he can speak German, but he nerver spoke, so ??????????????????????
I'm in french III, but french 4 is at the same time in the same room with the same teacher;)
but the level isn't very high, there I have got the feeling, that I'm very good at french.^^
then i've got lunch.
since last week I'm packing my lunch, because at the cafeteria you get every day the same things, fast food, and so I'm eating my sandwich, salad, fruits,...
5.U.S History, it's sooooooooooooooo funny, the teacher is very funny, but I told about her ;last time, she is one of the teachers who would die for her buisness^^
6 Pre-Calc it's not so difficult I thought, but i don't know all the mathematically things, so at the beginning I was never sure, what i have to do;)
but it's better now.
7 and my last peroid:environmental science, I'm gonna have a test tomorrow, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
for this test we had to read about 50 pages in 3 weeks, this won't be a probem, but this things are so complicated, and I can't get all teh stuff into my head.
So I will see, how I'm gonna do the test.
I'm not soooooooooo scaried, becausre it's a multiple choice test, like every here, that's very good^^
so school is out at 2.55, and then i have to wait for Carol, whos picking me up.
while I'm waiting, I'm talking to some frineds, like Sarah, I met her at lunch, and sche's very nice. She's is in band too, but when we are divided, she's practising her flag stuff
Because at every game the Marching Band is playing at halftime, and about 30 girla are doing something great with flaggs. it looks very good^^.
normally i'm at home at 4 o'clock.
Earlier I wrote about the Volleyball team, I played with them and there are two different teams.
One is for Junioers and Seniors(Varsity), the other one for freshmen and Sophomores (Junior Varsity).
The coach looked at me, but she said, I'm not good enough for the Varsity team at the moment. But I'm Junior and the law says I have to be in Varsity as a Junior.
So she said she's gonna ask the government, if I can join the JV.
So I have to wait now. If i'm not in the team, I'm really trying to get into another sports team, because I need something^^
Ok, back, 4 o'clock i'm at home.
There I'm doing my homework and check all teh things at the PC
at 6, or something around the time, we're gonna have dinner.
My hostmum doesn't work, so the dinner is always very good, and complicated.
nearly every day I can try something new, what I've never eaten before^^
Last week, I made my first cake here, it was a 'rollade', but it wasn't as good as at home.
Oh Mum, can you perhapst send me a cookbook for cakes, becasure here I'm not finding so many recipes. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks
after dinner Fil is watching the News, interesting for me too/.
And then we're sometimes watching movie or only TV
at about 10 i'm going to bed, where I'm writing my diary, because I don't wanna forget anything, what's happening here;)
I think that was my normal day, not very exciting^^

This Friday there's no football game, but there's a fair at Waynesville or we're perhaps going to Asheville, I don't know
We'll see^^
and Milli; I need the date, when you have spring holidays in Germany, ok ?????
and HG: your ADDRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't forget it!!!!!!

Football

heyyyyyyyyyyyy
heute schreib ich ausnahmsweise mal auf Deutsch^^
aber dafuer halt ich diesen Post auch kurz;)
Getstern war DAS Football Game des Jahres, und meine Schule, also Tuscola hat gewonnen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Des stadium war echt so voll mit Leuten und jeder hat geschrien( ich auch, ich konnte an dem Abend nicht mehr reden^^)
Grossartiges Feelling, inmitten einer schreienden Menschenenge zu stehen!!!!!
Des Spiel war echt eine aussergewoehnlichg Erfahrung fuer mich, ich hab naemlich verstanden, was da auf dem Spielfeld vor sich geht;)
Allerding ist es wirklich schwierig den Ball auf dem Spielfeld zu sehen, weil jeder Football Spieler rumrennt und andere um wrestelt, ...
Bei dem Spiel war es anders, denn jeder, und wirklich jeder hat das Spielgeschehen verfolgt, nicht wie bei den normalen Spielen an den Freitagen, wo jeder einfach nur rumrennt und redet.
Dann nach dem Spiel sind wir erts mal 15 minuten zu unserem Auto gegangen, weil echt alles in der Naehe vom Stadion vollgepark war.
Und dann hab ich bei einer Freundin uebernachtet, voll lustig, weil wir Pizza um ca 12.30 oder so gegessen haben, sog. Mitternachtsimbiss
Wir wollten dann noch 'Across the universe' anschaun, aber jeder ist eingeschlafen, also haben wirs gelassen^^
tja das wars dann wohl mit den Sachen, die heute und gestern so passiert sind
Ich versuch so bald wie moeglich wieder zu schreiben, kann aber nicht versprechen, weil ich naechste Woche 3 wichtige Tests hab, also Geduld...
Hab euch alle soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lieb

Ok
I'm trying to tell you all the important thing which are hppening here in the big USA
Now at school there is the time were every teacher has his quizes and tests.
Tomorrow for example I'm gonna have my third U.S History test and my second frech and my third Pre-Calc test, so I really very very busy at the moment.
The last Monday was Labor Day, really cool because i don't have to go to school there. At the long weekend we drove to Dollywood, a funpark only 1 hour away;)
We went to the waterpark there, it was awsome^^
we had the whole day, but after 4 hours sun& water we had enough and so we returned to our hotel^^
At saturday evening we ate Habachi grill, that's when they cook your meals in front of you, it was great, but it was so much, that we took nearly the half at home^^
We lived in a great hotel, with a jaccuzi in one of the bedrooms, yes weird, really weird;)
on sunday we were at the waterpark and at the evening at a huge aquarium, with so many fishes, and I took alot of pictures, which i can schow you perhaps one time^^
At monday, Labor Day, we slept soooooooo long, and had then lunch at 11.30, very funny because we were the first who ate at the restaurant at this day^^
After the lunch we went to an ice-cream parlour: marble slap.
there you can choose a flavour and things you wanted to put into your Ice-cream, I had white chocolate with caramel and m&m, veryu, very tasty^^
This week was Spirit week at school, but nobody really cares about that, except the cheerleader.

Tomorrow is the big Tuscola(my school) - Pisgah (another Highschool) game, which is the most popular game in Haywood county.
I'm so excited, because so many people will be there. And after the game, at one of my friends house, Pattys, is a sleepover, I think it will be sooooo funny;)

It's very cool here at the colons, and I don't have any problems. But Esteban began to play the trombone and so he has to practise it sounds so weird^^
He always scares me, when he is playing very near to my ears without saying anything;))))

I think that's everything important at the moment, but i'm not really sure.
Oh yeah i tried to but some pictures at myt blog, but it doesn't really work, so don't be mad, I trying to show you pictures as soon as I can^^
Love you all
