Saturday was over way to quickly...
Yesterday I would have had two different rehearsals at the same time. It was kind of hard to decide which one to go to. So I went to the one I needed more. Still, all these rehearsals are confusing.
Anyway... we sang from 10 am to 4 pm... *_* Cool, isn't it?
Afterwards my sister and I went shopping together. I needed new sweaters.
In Tettnang I didn't find anything (everything's either ugly or expensive, I really don't want to spend 50 bucks on a sweater...). So we went to H&M in Friedrichshafen. *sigh* I - LOVE - H&M !!!
And I absolutely found what I was looking for!
A black fuzzy sweater with one of those REEEEEEEALLY big collars (I don't know how to explain) and a brown hoody with a zipper. Both look extremly cool on me.
Today I wore the black sweater for service and everybody liked it. *happy*
It was a really cool service anyway. There was a priest from New-Dehli. He was speaking english, but it was so hard to understand him, because of his indian accent. But there was a translator anyway. *lol*
Tomorrow three of my teachers won't be there. So instead pf 7:30 am I'll have to be at school at 11:00 am.
That's awesome. But still I'll have school until 5pm... 1period biology, 2periods chemistry and 2 periods french... Not so awesome...
Right now I'm listening to this really cool song by Farin Urlaub, a german musician who is also in the band "Die Ärzte" (they're awesome). The song is called "Phänomenal egal" and it's kind of impossible to translate it literally. *lol*
It somewhat means something like "I don't care in a phenomenal way" ... *lol*
I was really surprised when I found out, that there isn't a simple translation for "egal"...
I know, I'm getting nerdy again. *lol* But I think this kind of stuff is really interesting!
*looks at watch* *sighs* I need to kill some time, but I don't know how. 25 more minutes... >.<
But I don't know what else to write.
I love you guys. |

This song was just on TV, and I think it's awesome.
The singer has a beautiful voice and it's an interesting style.
- YEAY, It's the weekend! Finally
----
Who made up all the rules
We follow them like fools
Believe them to be true
Don't care to think them through
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this
And it's ironic too
Cos what we tend to do
Is act on what they say
And then it is that way
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this
Who are they
where are they
how can they possibly
know all this
Who are they
where are they
how can they possibly
know all this
Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
Is it because it's true
that ignorance is bliss
Who are they
where are they
how do they
know all this
I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
Do you see what I see
Why do we live like this
Is it because it's true
that ignorance is bliss
who are they
where are they
how can they
know all this
And I'm sorry so sorry
I'm sorry we do this |

So one of my favorite teachers had to go to hospital(which is really bad), and he won't return before christmas. No big deal, since I have him in religious education, which is not a main class (not at all). BUT, in the meantime he's being replaced by Mr Schmitz - one of my least favorite teachers. *HELP*
The rehearsals are getting more and more. October 16th - "A German Requiem" by Brahms - it's awesome.
My Music-Class is awesome. We started an interesting project and I think about it a lot. Everybody in the class has to compose a song. That's incredible, isn't it.
So I started writing lyrics for potential songs. I would post them, but the good ones are all in German. And they're all love songs. *lol* Kind of cheesy, right?
Well... good night
I love you guys |

Yeah... it's been a while.
But School's really keeping me busy.
I'm not used to having so many different classes again.
And my French teacher is sadistic (kind of). She's always smiling and always acting nice, but it's more of a "I'm-so-much-smarter-and-I-hate-teaching-and-I-hate-students-and-I-hate-stupid-students-like-Barbara-Geiger-because-they-can't-say-a-whole-sentence-in-French"-friendlyness.
Let's put it this way: "We'll never become friends." - I should've chosen Latin instead.
My art-class is great. We're building life-size human sculptures out of wire. My arm has many scratches, but in the name of art - I'd take (almost) any pain.
Oh yeah - pain.
I miss Thomas a lot. We're both really busy and can't find a weekend when we both have time.
So I probably won't see him until Sylvester... *sighs*
But it's great to talk to him on the phone. He's a very sweet guy. - And very interesting.
I mean, it's not that hard to use a dishwasher. *lol*
My English-Class is a lot of fun. I'm fluent, and it's no problem for me to write a tiny 300-word essay.
I'll get my 15 points for sure.
Some of you might ask "Points? What the -?"
Well, I'm in 12th grade now (again - *lol*), and grades 12 and 13 have a new grading system.
The highest score you can get is 15 points. The lowest - 0 - of course. 5 and below is failing. So I'm like "10 Points..."
I'll be doing all right in most of my classes, I think, except for French-class...
Chemistry is difficult, too. German is fun - we have one of the best German teachers at the school.
Math is... hmm, I'm not sure yet - interesting? Religious education is going to be good, we have a great teacher. My politics-teacher is weird, but all right - it could be worse. Music is a lot of fun, too. The teacher, Mr. Hillebrand is very competent and likes to have fun as well.
My biology-teacher is cute, she's a good-hearted person.
History is a lot lot of work. I already had to write several essays - and we only have history-class once a week. But it's cool, somehow - I like history a lot.
Physical Ed is a lot of fun. We're a mixed class for the first time since 4th grade (!!!). It's a lot of fun. We're preparing for the so-called "Cooper-Test" right now. (You have to run about two miles in 12 minutes to get an A.) I'm practicing hard - and I'm doing well! I'm amazed by myself. (Thank you, Thank you)
Uhm... are these all of my classes? I'm not sure, but I think so.
I don't have Latin and Physics anymore. However, I'm in a Latin-Study-group where we're preparing for a special exam. If I pass that exam, I don't only have the normal Latinum anymore, but the great Latinum - and that's kind of cool. - I like Latin. We're reading speeches by Cicero right now. Man, he was a really cool guy.
Lalala, so far so good. There are a lot of rehearsals going on.
one choir for the "Elias" by Mendelssohn, another choir for the "Requiem" by Brahms, school choir, church-youth-choir, plus - they persuaded me to join the "FaGo"-Band. 'FaGo' stands for 'FamilienGottesdienst' - it's a service in church directed to families with children. An there's a band making music. As if I did't have plenty to do already. I'm about 30+ years younger than everybody else, but they're really cute. It's a lot of fun to sing in the Band. Today was service and it was just great. I don't know why, but I wasn't nervous at all, even though there were hundreds of people listening. *lol*
The German "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" is out. I didn't read it again though. Not enough time.
My sister and my brother already read it and now we're discussing like every little bit of detail. *lol* It's fun.
Anyway, that's mostly it. BUSY BUSY BUSY.
*sigh* plus - I'm in love - and my head's upside down |

Finally, it's summer break. (For two weeks now...)
And it's been just amazing.
You might remember me talking about a crush I had on a guy... well, thats snow from yesterday.
Actually, I fell in love, like seriously - I can't believe it.
I absolutely have the best, cutest, bestestest, awesomestestest boyfriend.
He doesn't look exactly the way I imagined my Mr Perfect - but looks don't matter anyway.
He's so sweet and funny. AND he plays the guitar.
Everytime he looks at me, I want to melt in his arms.
And his kisses are so soft and...
*big sigh*
I'm totally in love!
The only bad thing: He lives kind of far away. ;_; And I won't see him again until NewYear's eve.
It must be kind of weird to read this. Hehe... but I'm so happy right now. *dances around* |

You are pure, moral, and adaptable.
You tend to blend into your surroundings.
Shy on the outside, you're outspoken to your friends.
You believe that you live a virtuous life...
And you tend to judge others with a harsh eye.
As a result, people tend to crave your approval. |
Tehehe, I love those blogthingythings. XD
Today we had a test in Latin class. - I'm so happy I did my Latin exam a year ago. hehe - so, actually, I don't have to attend Latin class at all - same with physics.
I found out, why I don't have to repeat the time I spent in the US. It's because I didn't have anything worse than a C last year. (In chemistry...) That's sooo cool! Thank you Mr Principal!
I found out something else, too! I had a voice lesson today and my teacher told me some stuff.
About one month before I came back to Germany, one of her students quit having voice lessons, so she had a free spot. But instead of putting a new student in that free spot, she kept it open forme, which is VERY unusual. So today she told me, that it was kind of a scandal. It was her idea. But now that I'm back, I'm already in every choir in the area. And so everybody's happy.
Bla, now I showed off a little bit (do you spell it like this?). I need ego-boosts like this from time to time. Especially now that I'm going to school, even though I don't have to. And it's sooo f***ing boring!!!
Oh well, I shouldn't complain. I mean, everything's fine.
There's a new "Deutschland sucht den Superstar"-Casting (the German "American Idol") starting soon...
I really would like to try it. But once upon a time, I told myself I'd graduate first from German high school... >.<;
I'm confuuused! I think I should ask my mom's opinion about this, like "By the way, what do you think of that casting-thing".
Blaa... love you lots ~ bye |

Baaah...
Another day of boooring school.
Another fight with not falling asleep.
Yesterday my sister came home from college. Only for the weekend. She's so cute.
Hehe - two more years.
I SO want to go to college!!!
This year's graduating class had their big Prank yesterday. They dressed up as Mafia... XD
My class will probably be secret agents... 2 007 *g*
It's only been a week that I'm back, but I already have a crush on a guy...
Let me explain first.
This guy used to be my kindergarten-love, and he happened to grow up a lot in the last 10 months. His hair grew longer, his voice is a lot deeper... and he's just HOT now!
Unfortunately he goes to a different kind of high school. It's for computerfreaks.
Last saturday he celebrated his 18th birthday and came over to invite me (along with two other guyfriends). If it wouldn't be for some friends who stayed over night I would have gone to the party. (I wonder how much they drank - 18th-birthday-parties are known for having a lot of alcohol around. (Hehe... next february).
Oh well, I'll go swimming today. The last couple of days I had school until late afternoon. After that there were thunderstorms... >.<
So today I can finally show of what I learned in Synchro. >)) Hehe
Oh well. Read you later.
To be continued. |

WOOHOO!
I have a blog now (finally...).
I've been reeeeeally busy the last couple of days and I'm very exhausted.
I'd like to come back to the US and have some more fun. It's been such a great time. It feels like the last ten months were a pleasant dream. One of those you hope to fall asleep and have again.
Sometimes it seems like I've never been gone at all.
And then again I still have a hard time to adjust to some of the things here. Like not being allowed to drink something during class time. Plus: I have a super-uptight friend who keeps nagging me about stuff like that. It's not the end of the wold, is it? I mean, it doesn't hurt anybody, and it doesn't violate any moral values(except her being so great).
I really love her (as a friend of course) but at times... I mean, one moment she tells me to be less childish and more serious, the next moment she copies my jokes. It's always been this way, but I just don't get it at times. I hate when people copy my jokes. It's not that I think I'm extremely funny or something like that. But even if some of those jokes are pure stupidity - it's still MY stupidity. I don't want to be nagged about it the one moment and then be copied the next.
A while ago I wouldn't have just tried to be nicer - but now I'm stronger. I ignore or laugh about nagging, and I tell her that I don't like copying. Especially when she gets the laughs for it...
Pheeeewwww! I had to let go of some steam. Now I'm back to my previous mood.
Tired.
While I was in the US I was really worried about one of my friends, but now she seems to be better than ever. She's happy when she sees me and told me how glad she is, that she can just happen to see me around. It's great. She's always been a great friend to me, even though she didn't write one e-mail while I was gone. I know how she feels about it and I don't have to forgive her, because I'm not even angry. Why forgive, if there is nothing to forgive. She's been really busy the last cuouple of months. She drew this really amazing background for a play at my school. It's so unbelievable what this little girl can achieve. Her work doesn't look like a 16year-old's. More like of a professional artist.
I used to be very scared by her talent and even more of the hard work she puts into everything. There were times I thought I would never be able to achieve my dreams. Again the last ten months taught me better.
I can achieve whatever I want. Because I'm young, and strong, and I know what I want!
Hehe
In Germany there's something like 'American Idle' - 'Deutschland sucht den Superstar'.
The next casting will start soon. I thought about trying it after my graduation in Germany, but now I think I want to try it as soon as possible, because when school ends, I want to know what to focus on (Yeah... I still have two more years of school that I shouldn't mess up... but, hehehe
I feel so adventurous suddenly.
I know a lot of my friends don't like casting shows, but in this case I want to try that instead of risking my whole life with becoming a singer at college.
If it doesn't work, I'll become Graphic artist.
I'm such a weird teenager. I already know what I'm going to do the next couple of years...
Btw, yesterday I had a voice-lesson, and I reached the high F. I mean the one that doesn't touch any lines at all. I think, I made it higher once, but thins time my voice was a lot stronger. My voice-teacher says my voice is a lot darker now, not deeper though.
It's interesting. My voice seems to reflect my personality. In the last ten months I matured so much...
Oh, and something completely else. It looks like in April my bike was stolen - I mean, in Germany, while I was gone! Well, Asparagus-Harvest was really good this year and it wasn't my fault. So I got a new bike yesterday. It's really fun to ride my bike up and down the hills in Tettnang(you might call it mountains).
To be really happy, all I need would be a guy to fall in love with. Maybe I shouldn't be so picky. Maybe it's a good thing.
To end this entry - I decided to be vegetarian. My friends tell me I'm crazy, but I want to be healthier. And from now on I won't have as much time to exercise as I had the last ten months...
I heart you all so much. Don't forget me. |
