Okay, there isn't that much to tell you, but I've got a few things:
First of all, school is getting stress!!! I have to write a lot of tests and assignments. But we received our first progress report, and I'm pretty happy :)
The next thing is, that I found a Venturees group, which is very very nice. The people are funny and I like them. Next weekend is a long weekend and we will go hiking, biking and sea-kayaking :) Look very forward!
For next tuesday, I have to make a special German meals for our teachers. Every exchangestudent will present his/her country. Me and another German girl will make Dampfnudeln- yammie!
I'm so happy here, finding new friends everywhere and enjoy nearly every single second! The colours outside are unbelievable, I went for a walk yesterday, sadly I forgot my camera!
Now is weekend, and I'm so glad to have a little break. Last weekend we went to a "cornmaze" whcih is a big field of corn, where payed people hide and scare you! It was great fun, we went there with canadians and exchange students. But I was so scared! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I was screaming very often!

Well, that's it, I have to go and enjoy my weekend!! Have a nice one! Shalom

Gekommen um zu bleiben - Came to stay!

Gekommen um zu bleiben,
wir gehen nie mehr weg.
Gekommen um zu bleiben wie ein perfekter Fleck.
Ist der Fleck erst in der Hose ist er nicht mehr auszureiben!

Sorry guys, but that's exactly the way I feel at the moment. Don't think I don't miss you, but I can not imagine a life back in Germany, don't know why. I love everything here.

Today all the internationals went to a trip to Mahome bay, a cute little town, where they showed "Vogelscheuchen" (I give you that word, because I can't remeber the name:P) . It was so beautiful. The Bay is directly settled at the sea, the stores are lovely and the sun was shining. On the highway, we could see all the leeves, changing colours now. Everyday is more red, yellow and orange outside the window. At home, we curled my hair (looks very funny) and went to the movies ("The game plan" - really nice). The whole day I have a feling like flying around and loving the whole world!

On thursday there was a dance in the school, which was quiet good. And I found a place where I could help something. After six weeks doing NOTHING like that, I could help at the gaderobe. Such a satisfying feeling. Also I found a volunteer, who will take me with him, so I can get involved the scouts here :)

Well, these are a few facts here for now, not all but at least a few.

Oh and I know, why my Road is called Onslow MOUNTAIN road, because I biked to school this week, until somehow my trial left air and I wasn't able to go back home... but I enjoyed this trips very much, about 45 min one way, it's great, I felt like being in the books of Astrid Lindgren,

Well, see you guys

Bye and be blessed!

Can you hear me

can you hear me, through the dark night far away? No, I'm not homesick, the song just crossed my mind! Okay, sometimes I miss you, but not too much...
Well, I think after two weeks, I am supposed to write in English! Slowly there are more and more English words in my head, I'm starting to think in English =)
The school is okay, not too bad, but I still can't enjoy it. I tried to get into a Volleyball-team, but I didn't have enough "background". Next week all the other clubs will start, so I can get involved into something.
I don't have much time at the moment, because I have school and a lot of homework to do... so, please don't be angry, when I don't write emails or blogs very often.
My host-family is the best I could get and I enjoy every second with them, my two sisters are very nice, we're talking the whole time now. My hostdad likes the same music, so we often sit together and talk about music and stuff like that. Last week my sisters and I went to the "Clay-Cafe" where you can paint some pottery, it's really relaxing and we all enjoyed it so much.
Today, it was raining the whole day, the fall is coming...
Well, that's it for the moment I think!
Tomorrow we'll go to church, hopefully the kids at the youth group there are nice and I can make some new friends!
Hugs and Blessings

back home^^

nein... ich war noch nihct in Truro, ich weiß, aber in den letzten zwei-drei Wochen war ich kaum daheim. Zuerst im Open-Air-Kino in Haßloch (www.frischluftkino.de) mit Vroni und meinem Cousinchen gepoppt^^ =lecker lecker Popcorn gemacht und danach ab nach Schliersee.... Ich glaub, weder Vroni noch ich haben viel von der zugfahrt mitbekommen, einfach ein wenig erledigt *schnarch*. Wir verbrachten ne super tolle Woche in Schliersee, haben viel gelernt und unsere Füße getrimmt. Am letzten Tag gab's noch eine tolle Begegnung mit Franzosen, wo ein Wort reichte, um Brücken zu schlagen: Taizé!!!
Dann ging's ab nach Legau, als Vortrupp ins Zeltlager, mit lustigen Begegnungen mit Rotkreuzlern (Vorurteil, Vorurteil...) und RIESEN-pizzen. Als am Tag darauf die Kids ankamen, gab's kein Halten mehr. Rein, arbeiten und versuchen nicht unterzugehen... hat leider nicht so ganz geklappt, es gab dann einen Tag, an dem wir einfach nicht mehr konnten und am liebsten die Zeit zurück gedreht hätten, aber das ging nun mal leider nicht. Aber die Erlebnisse haben uns enger zusammengeschweißt, als unsere Gruppe je gedacht hätte. Ein Schluss, den man mit gutem gewissen ziehen kann: Ein verdammt unorganisiertes, unkommunizierndes, stressiges Lager, das von uns Rovern nur zusammen gemeistert werden konnte, auch wenn wir's erst spät kapiert haben, war das unsere Rettung.... nächstes Mal wissen wir das. Und das Wörtchen "Nein" wird wesentlich öfter über unsere Lippen kommen!
Wer diesen unzusammenhängenden Text jetzt nicht verstanden hat, für den tut's mir leid, aber richtig mitfühlen kann e nur der oder die,die mitdabei war!
Jetzt sind wir wieder zu Hause, der letzt Punkt vor Kanada ist abgehakt, jetzt zählt's. Noch drei Wochen, so langsam mach ich mir Gedanken über meinen Kofferinhalt (HILFE!!!) ud Verabschiedungen werden häufiger... aber noch bin ich ja noch nicht weg!
Bis bald, seid gesegnet
