my american home(:

yea yea I know..der Post ist schon längst überfällig aber mein Zimmer z.b hatte 4 größtenteils weiße Wände & das musste erstmal geändert werden & in 5 Monaten sammelt sich so einiges an Fotos, Tickets, Poster & stuff an. Die,die mich kennen wissen,das leere Wände ein NO GO sind. Jede Postkarte,die mich erreicht findet einen Platz! (:

Urban Dictionary definition: Foreign exchange student;
Most awesome person you will ever meet. Exchange students willingly decide to get off their butts, leave their home country, and go see the world. For that reason, they should be given a heck of a lot of credit. Usually, a foreign exchange student will have a funny accent and not speak your language very well. This is all the more reason to hang out with them, because everything will suddenly become that much more hilarious. Also, they are generally young people, and have the tendency to be extremely good looking. In conclusion, mad props to all exchange students out there!

SASSY (:

Deliciousness. Sheep brain & Cow eyes!

Like I told you before..our dissections! :D For me one of those things I could have never done in Germany! ♥

Soon a sheep heart will follow and imagine.. a cat. yea we'll be busy a whole week with a cat dissections.

Eines der Dinge,die ich nie in DTL hätte machen können. Unterrichtsanschaulicher gehts ja gar nicht! LOVE! Bald wird ein Schaafsherz folgen (oh yes!) & dann werden wir eine ganze Woche lange an einer Katze rumschneiden..

Sassy vs. those magic glasses.

braintime.

No you really dont want to know how awful it smells in there. All the 'leftovers' ended up in the blue ton. So you probably can imagine how tasty a whole bunch of organs smells. :P

cow eye.

A skater boy broke my heart, so I broke his fucking board..

Wow what a crazy week,I'm kind of really glad that its over. There is only one thing you wish you had more during those 4 days..SLEEP! Sooo for all the Germans among us,let me tell you how this whole 'FINAL' week works. Über das Schuljahr werden nicht so viele Tests geschreiben (dafür werden ja alle Hausaufgaben bewertet!) & am Ende des Semesters werden dann eine Woche lang Tests geschrieben. Montag MLK Day - frei. Am Dienstag schrieb ich US  History and Photography,Mittwoch waren American Literature and Trigonometry dran & Freitag Anatomy and International Relations. Meine Semesternoten sind ok & dafür das ich kaum gelernt habe dann doch eig. gut. ;D Wow morgen dann schon Quarter 3,ich darf weiterhin gespannt bleiben.Schule ging dadurch,dass wir nur 2 Fächer hatten, immer nur bis 11.40 Uhr. Danach hatte ich meistens wieder Training. Am Mittwoch haben wir uns alle in Coach's room getroffen & da die Varsityspiele immer aufgenommen werden,haben wir uns diese angeguckt & halt besprochen,was gut & schlecht war.Nebenbei wurde uns Pizza spendiert,die wir uns in einem Übungsspiel beim Training den Tag zuvor hart erkämpft haben. The whole team against Coach - who is faster in 3point shots. ;D Jetzt,wo Coach mich länger spielen lässt & ich auch punkte, macht es noch mehr Spaß & man kriegt die Krise,wenn man auf der Bank sitz. Wie gesagt die Woche war crazy & es wurde einem keineswegs leicht gemacht, nicht nur im schulischen betrachtet..wtf.

Hier als Bsp wie ein Test abläuft,Finals sind wie ganz normale Test eben nur nicht mit 50-70 Fragen,sondern mit 180-230!

e.g. US History

After the multiple choice part,the test mostly includes 1-3 Essay questions/ (short-answer-questions)

And all the answers have to be marked on this 'Scantron'.

Wer fertig ist,gibt ab & guess what? schläft..

xoxo Sassy.♥

Midterm Exams.

Alles andere als eine schöne Woche.

Write a letter to yourself and open it in 10 years.

January 16th 2011. We got school off today because of Martin Luther King Day.
 Who doesn't know that he was a leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement should better check out his wikipage.

Isn't it paradox that the 'I have a dream'-Day is exactly to the day halftime?
Right now I'm just sitting here..stunned,confused,proud,angry,curious,happy..emotional chaos.
I have this picture in my head standing above the line with one foot stuck on one side,trying to hold on to the past and try to remember everything and the other foot trying to create the future and can't wait for what's coming next. I mean look though my Blog what has happen the last months,I had to learn new rules, a new lifestyle, a foreign language. I have met people that inspired me and people that showed me how important it is to stay in school and educate myself with every opportunity. I have punished myself for taking things for granted and I had to force myself to overcome the fear of dealing with uncertainty. Getting lost is just another term for finding yourself,so whats wrong about it? I laughed a lot the last months and I cried a few times, I lost and I won. Life is so different when you know you are on your own and absoluely nothing can change this 'cause your parents live a couple of thousand miles away. The first weeks no one got my back and now I can say with a truly smile on my face that has changed! I found new friends and actually can talk to them without having much problems. I'm still so excited when we do typical american things even when its just eating hamburgers 'cause everyone is too lazy to cook. I also learned to take chances. There is no 'Oh maybe next time.' - when its time for an adventure than goooo! I have to admit that things keep me busy and I know this is not an excuse for not answering messages in time. But particularly in the last month.. how do you write in german when you start to dislike this language really bad? I still have to improve a lot and its not gonna be easy but I'm looking forward to it 'cause I deeply love english. And to be honest with you..it's the best feeling in the entired world to understand lyrics when you listen to songs only once,understand acters in their native language, start to like the british accent too,read a book and truly get the context. One of my jobs which I really love is to eliminate prejudices. Germans that talk bad about America without having a single clue whats really going on and Americans that think our rolemodel is still Hitler. Americans are not stupid and Germans are not races. Hitler jokes and calling each other Nazis is like an ordinary thing among teenagers here. They learned that we dont think its funny and it equals if we would make jokes about slavery. I dont know if  I changed yet but I'm pretty sure that I'm more grown-up and this fact kind of scares me. What if I come back and people went a completly different direction from what I expected? Sometimes when I skype with my family and friends and they tell me what recently happened, all I can do is just listen 'cause I'm too surprised  to say something. Sometimes it feels like another life is going on over there and all you want to do is to stop and affect it with positive things but you can't. You can be at two places at one time but you can't control them both. Another big deal are people. Since I left I can tell myself who are true friends and who are people I can have faith in. Sentences like ' I'll write you everything and as much as I can' or ' I'll come visit you' became so meaningless 'cause I knew from the very beginning they are not true and obviously I was right. I want to say Thank you to those who are patient and  uncomplaining with me,to those who send me letters and mails,to those who maybe think about me sometimes. I'm thankful for this opportunity that was given to me and I enjoy almost every single second.
Uncertainty. I'm scared of the future.Yes,I really am. But did I know what to expect when I entered the plane!?
No. - I had a dream and look where →I← got myself.(:
