Fezziwig

Was the title of the musical, where Amanda and me were stagecrew last weekend! Two of our best friends were the stagemanagers and asked us for help, and who knows me, know, that I couldn't stand that :p

We set up and decorated the stage on friday after school, had a run through and left at 10.00!!! Sadly, we didn't have the best scenechange (we had to change from a big streetscene into a living room scene within 45 sec...), so Daniel convinced us with " If you come tomorrow at 8.30 instead of 9.30, I'll buy you coffee!" to come in early :P The coffee was good, I was totally on caffein this weekend - you know what that means *Lagergrins*

Anyways, we had our final run-through, where I didn't run into a big candlestick like the evening before and ducktaped everything...

In the evening we had the first show, which was really good :) Afterwards the guys showed me the two prettiest places in Truro: A bridge over the Trainway, where you can see all the stars :) and Woodstreet, the highest point, where you have a great view over whole Truro with all its lights :)

On sunday afternoon, we had the next show, which was really good, then everything had to be packed and cleaned again. I had international christmas dinner, where I appeared sweaty, in backstage-black, old t-shirt, with splinters everywhere from sitting at the bottom...

Afterwards, the whole stagecrew went to the movies, where we watched the "The Golden Compass", which wasn't that good, as we expected it...

But all in all, the weekend was great, I freaked out a couple of times, whenever I realised that's just 1,5 months left.... But I really missed my "normal" christmas activities and had a lot of fun with awesome friends and my sister!!!!

Here comes a picture from it:

Brandon, Ethan, Collin, Charlsie, myself, and our two stagemanagers Alex and Daniel with Amanda between :)

P.S. An die Openairkinoleuts: Gaffa heisst hier Gaffe und Kabel werden "gegaffed" (mit Gaffa verdeckt), ich hab mich halb weggeschmissen,als ich das gehoert hab!

P.P.S. Und ja, ich hab kurze, dauerhaft rote haare!

Be blessed and shalom

Advent Advent ein Lichtlein brennt!
















Yesterday was the best first december of my life :) It snowed in the night and we built up a snowman. Then a big big snowstorm began, and within one hour we had 5cm snow on top of the car!





Driving into town was crazy! Actually there was a trip for the internationals to halifax planned, but they had to cancel it. So I met a few friends in our mall and went christmas shopping!!!





Today was cold, so we still have snow and tomoroow is off - yay :)





Well, I will try to add some photos from venturer trip, baking, the last snow and christmas-activities...





Shalom, have a nive Adventweek!

Christmas-Cookies :)

Hey!

Just a short note, because it's late and I'm tired: Kiki and I made a whole bunch of christmas cookies today, and it was awesome! We baked from 8p.m. until 12.30 or something like that and made Spekulaas, Heidesnad, Vanillekipferl and Cookies in a hurry. The first were the Vanillekipferl. After trying them we looked at each other and started crying, because they really tasted like home... and we just couldn't stand that.
Halftime is over, christmas is coming... it's so odd, because on one hand-side you think time passes by so quickly and on the other hand-side you think you know all the people here forever and can't live without them anymore, but you also miss people at home... hard to discribe!

Shalom

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Schneefloeckchen, Weissroeckchen, wann kommst du geschneit?
Here it is! It started snowing on saturday, while I was on a Venturer-Trip. Actually we planned to camp, but based on the weather, we canceled it and went to a simple cottage at a lake. We hiked for about two hours at another lake. Ther it started to snow. First very softly, but then more and bigger flakes :) It was the perfect place (in the Middle of Nowhere), the perfect time (dimlight) and the perfect people (friends) to enjoy the first snow in Nova Scotia. I felt wunderful! We had Monday off and therfor a long weekend :) which was sooo good, because I was soooo tired! Yesterday it rained in town, but when we came home, everything was white, about 5cm. Awesome! I'm so happy. Today I went out for a walk through the rest snow and took pictures, you will receive in a few days, I hope. But now I have to study... school is very intense at the moment, but although I still enjoy my time with all my new friends....
But there are moments, when I miss you, because it's getting closer to christmas and this is a time with rituals (making Chocolates-Imissed it horribly-, preparing services-macht ihr spaetschichten?-) Just a filled up time....
Keep going! Shalom
