Cold and School(s)

Hey,

the middle of the week and the 02-02-2011. I really like this date. School is stressing. We had to go to school and the electricity went off. The problem is that American schools are getting money for attendence, but the 3^rd period attendence is counting and that is round about 10am. They get something about 36$ for every day and guess what?! It's a big minus for the almost money broke schools in Texas to give a free day.

My pills arrived and we have our water and light back. I'm glad. The only crazy thing is our swimming pool. It's frozen so deep. That is scary!

Anyway. I have to do my homework. I hate math right now we're writing a stupid Taks test. 60 questions and I'm not sure if I can finish the test. We had a short softball practice, but we practiced. We went inside the boys rooms. They had a bet machine in their. That was fun! The first two sets of six were bad, but the last one was pretty good.

No electricity!!!

Hey,

I wanted to post on Tuesday and now it's Thursday. Sorry for that, but I have a really good excuse for Tuesday.

I went to school and everything was normal. The only thing that wasn't normal were the 26°F. It was freaking cold and we had a strong wind shield. People said it felt like -7°F. So we went from warm 14°C on the weekend below freezing in just two days. Doesn't that suck? We didn't have softball practice...

Sharon picked me up from school. Sam was at homeand we had some bad news. A few pipes are frozen. I put a carmo suit on and a lot of other things to be prepared for the wind. I went outside with Sam and we fet the horses. I'm glad that I was able to help!

Okay that still isn't the excuse that I didn't write my blogg, but I think a electricity failure is. Espacially if you're living in a house that can't excist without energy. No light, water, heat, or internet to write the blogg. Nothing! Hello?! It isn't the 1^st of April. It's February. That's too early for april fools.

I cooked pasta and as soon as I was finished the electricity went down. It didn't take me long to get a flashlight. We had to go to bed at 8:30pm. There was no way for me to sleep and I read my book.

Hi – po – se – sis xDD

Heey,

I survived the Monday. Oh my, I felt so tired in the morning and I have gone an hour earlier to bed. I hate this! The day started pretty good. I was just tired, but I was happy about this pretty warm morning. The day changed when the weather newcast said that we will ahve a cold front. I mean a really cold, cold front with the possibility of snow. Hello?! We had 80°F yesterday. HOW can the weather drop from that to 32°F and below? Is that even possible? Seriously?

That was the reson that we started early with softball practice. I liked the practice today. We did something diffrent than the last week. We actually went on the field and talked about some tactics and moves. I played second base in the infield. That's a pretty good position, but I failed. I failed so bad. I have to learn a lot more things to be good at this position. More catching and throwing practice. I'm just glad that the other beginners are making the same mistakes and sometimes worse. ;)

Oh I forgot. I survived Biology and my teacher said that I did pretty well. She said that she knew what I was talking about and that I was really confident. She could tell that that wasn't my first presentation and so on... I'm so happy and I have to mention that the girl who made the power point presentation did a really good job. Kimball is really good with computer. I'm just happy that we survived even if we just covered 8 out of 20 minutes. Laurren and I rescued the sitation and went over the examples a couple of times. I think we saved a lot. I mean we went over the 20 minutes. That should be a good sign, shouldn't it? I liked the presentation. It is so funny. I can't pronounce the word hypothesis. Laurren tried to teach me, but this word is killing me so bad. I had to say it for more than five times. Embarrassing³ ;)

It's hi – po – se – sis xDD

Love, Sonja

Church Barbeque! :D

Hey,

we went to church in the morning, but we did skip Sunday school. Sam was driving the car and we drove a completly diffrent way. He called it roller coaster and the hind door we're comming through. This street wasn't an hind door it was a sneaky little trap door. The street was a lot of fun. We arrived at the church and had a great church service. The only sad thing was the announcement for Sammy. We prayed for her and I hope y'all are still lifting her and her family up.

They had a trailride to the church and a whole trailride weekend. We didn't go! I would have loved it! :( They came with all their horses and a horse carriage. We all had barbeque after church. It was sooo good. Somone brought salad and tomatoes. My burger wasn't that bad with all the good stuff on it, and the desserts were awesome. Sharon made really good brownies, we had a great strawberry cake and I wished there would be enough space for a piece of coconut pie.

Jake was there after church. I had fun to talk to him and Terris daughter and a lot of other people. It was a really good time after church and it was warm! We had about 20-24°C that are about 80°F. I'm so happy about warm weather. Jake and I had a water fight together. I made him pretty wet.

We drove home and I had a really funny skype call. One of the best ones with my family. That finally made my day, even if I had to discuss about my never-arriving pills. Anny called and texted me. She wanted to come over. Sharon and I agreed and we met her over at Walmart. I bought Softball gloves and a few other things while Adrian got his new haircut.

We drove to Bush's chicken and bought our supper. Anny was going home and when we arrived at home we ate the chicken. Yeah I know that isn't the best idea, but my weekend was really unhealthy. I just finished it the way I started it. Don't get this wrong. This weekend was awesome!!! :D

I tried to prepare myself for my biology presentation and I'm praying that I'm doing okay. I mean everyone knows how much I love my presentations. Especially the biology ones. I just dislike to trust a foreign group, a foreign language and my tesion. If I freak out I will struggle with my english. Okay – away with the bad thoughts. I can do this! :D

Raspberry Dream, Cold Dog, Sugar Cookies & Co ;D

Wuhu,

that was a really great day. We woke up. My nose was closed. It was so cold and I had a really, really wierd dream. It was the first dream I remember in English, but it was a language mixed dream. My family was on the airpot and a second later I skyped with them until my biology teacher came and explained something to me, and my parents were back on the air port to meet me. I think it was one of the meetings after half the year, but everyone altered liek 20 years beside me. Creepy, creepy dream! ;D

The morning started, yes shame on me, really sweet. We made 'Raspberry Dream' (Hinbeer Traum). Yes Doris! I agree. I didn't know I'm able to do that, but Anny and I made it, somehow. We ate breakfast Tacos for breakfast and looked up dog breeds on the internet. Anny really wants to have a Great Dane. She was really enthusiastic about that. We looked up breeders, dogs, and pictures. It was fun. She showed me her blanket with letter sewing in one corner. That was amazing. Shelly, Anny's hostmom, went in and showed me a baby blanket. That was sooo cool! I asked her if she could make one for me and she agreed. That is so cool.

Everyone beside me and Anny left the house. We finished the respberry dream, made sugar cookies and pasta with tomatoe sauce. It was good! We watched a movie Anny bought. That movie was horrible! I mean the story was not good. The end was bad and it was really slaughter perverd. It wasnÄt good to watch a scary movie alone. Something, and there was something because both of us saw it, smashed against the window. Why does that always happen after watching a scary movie? I mean: seriously?! :D

Everyone came back, no not because we begged them to come back, and Shelly took Anny and me to Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby is a store for all creative things and hobbies like sewing. It's a really big home decor shop and just awesome. I picked out the fabric for my blanked. That is soooo cool. I will start and learn how to sew. I swear I have to learn it. You can be so creative, do amazing things, and you can just create things no one else has. I love that! I will get my blanket and that makes me really happy. It will be a special blanket and all motives will respresent my year here in America.

Shelly drove to Brush's Chicken with us. The chicken there is soooo... good. I was sitting in the car and we heard Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. I had to laugh and think about Doris! :D

It was a really, really great drive home from Killeen. I'm so happy about those two days. I was so happy, had great experiences and got a 100 in U.S. History. :D

Sonja xD

P.S. Word or quote of the day: „Oh my Gushness!“ - Anny

Sleeping Over at Anny's :D

Hey,

the Friday started really stressful. I woke up early in the morning to print my U.S. History review. I learned all the other things beside the multiple choice questions Thursday evening. I was excited and a little bit nervous about the test. I got the questions and it was really easy. Spanish was okay, but I'm not sure about the result. It's so easy to make mistakes while translating sentences. The big surprise of the day was a quiz in math, but I think I did okay on that, too.

Anny asked me to come to her this weekend and sleep over. We could make, cook, and bake german things, and I said I would come after practice.

We played the first time on the field doing Softball practice. I had a really good time this practice, and I know things are going better. I hit the first time with one of those machines. I like the bat position, and I hit the ball. My coach said I'm doing very well and pat me on my shoulder. :D

Sharon picked me up after practice and I went over to tell Adrian I'm going to Anny's. Adrians coach is so cool. I really like him and we talked a little bit. I couldn't help me. I had to tease and hug him. He really cares how I'm doing. Anyway Adrian had a ride and Sharon gave me one to Anny's house.

I love their house. It's a really big trailer house and nice decorated. All the pictures on the wall and the sewing room. It's lovely over there. Anny was in the kitchen and we fixed 'Cold Dog' (Kalter Hund, Toter Hund, Tote Tante) together. We had to improvice a few things, but we did pretty good. We noshed here some dough and there some chocolate. That was a pretty unhealthy evening, and a great time. We talked until midnight in her room. I just enjoyed my time. Out of the books. :D

1st short practice

Hey,

School was over so fast today. I talked with my guitar teacher and classmate Julia.Everything on the computers is still down. The teachers can't type in our grades. We had electricity failure and probably some bad viruses on the school computers. The teachers can't print anything. The printers go over network and internet. That was the reason everyone in my History class had to copy 20 multiple choice questions in 8 minutes. I didn't finish to copy them, but smart like I am I borrowed Seth's flash drive. So, I went back 7^th period and asked him to put the review on the flash drive. He did it. I'm so glad. It was funny when I entered the class. Everyone said hi to me. I didn't even knew I know that much people.

Tomorrow will be horrible with all those tests and this small amount of time to prepare for them. Anyway, I wouldn't miss practice. I like it too much. We started earlier and had a short practice. Jordan gave me a ride home. I'm glad she did. We had a nice talk and I have plenty of time to get ready for tomorrow. Okay not that much, but still more than I expected a few hours ago.
