Back to Reality

Alright, it is fun having Christmas break and dreaming about things you could do if you were done with school. But today I was sent back to reality and back to school. I expected the worst since I was going to have a Geographie exam.
Surprisingly the day was better than that.
In Social Studies our presentation didn´t work so we will do it in a couple of weeks. In English I got an exam back, where I got 11 points (15 points is the best, 0 the worst). In comparison it is like a grade between A and B.
In Geography the exam was shitty. I don´t know why she tells us to learn all themes that we had and then she puts some exercises together which are totally different from the things you could study for.
Anyways, until I don´t get my grade for that exam, I don´t want to suggest anything. My feelings are mixed about it and I am not sure if this one is better than the last one.

After my usual classes I had lunch break and sports. It was kind of good getting exercise after a two week Christmas break and I always enjoy it, especially because I get in a good mood afterwards.

At home I was supposed to babysit, but the mother called and told me that her meeting was cancelled and I didn´t need to come. Therefore I went to my driving school for my last theory lesson. After I got there they told me it was cancelled and that I´d have to go next week. That totally sucks, I just wanna be done with that one lesson.

I am excited for different things this year and I can´t wait for them to come.

That is to be listed now...

First of all Cornelia, the Norwegian exchange student, is coming to Germany in two weeks and we were thinking about meeting up and hanging out for the weekend after. She is in Berlin for a field trip with her class.

Next I am going on a ski trip for ten days with my grade. I am really sure it´ll be a blast.

Volunteering for YFU (I think I told you bout it), I applied for being a tutor for a week on an orientation for future exchange students. I only have to wait now, if I am taken for one of them.

In May, we are going to Denmark like every year with family and tons of friends. During the day we stay at the beach and during the night we stay on the camping ground where we bbq. All together we are about 50 people I think.

In June, I planned on going to the music festival "Hurricane" that is popular in Germany and not too far away from my city. I have never been to a concert at all and this will be wonderful to watch as many bands as I want without paying a whole lot of money. Well it is not cheap, a little over a hundred Euros only for the ticket, but you would pay the same for two concert tickets.

In August I am going to go back to Alaska, especially Valdez, to visit family and friends. I really can´t wait and I am already excited. My dad is going to come with me and I will show him my beatiful second home. He will enjoy it but unfortunetaly we can only stay for two weeks. I already made a plan for activities to do and what people we have to visit.

Well I think this is quite a bit of travelling and to afford it, I have to work hard and a lot. Right now I work six hours a week and get 10 euros per hour. It really is a good deal. The bad thing about it is, that I don´t have time studying myself. But I´m sure I´ll manage it somehow.

Oh Gee, it got late again and I don´t want to have a hard time getting up tomorrow morning. So all I am saying now is "Goodnight" ;)
