Breaking dawn part II

Saw Breaking Dawn part II today. IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!! Best Twilight movieee, SEE IT!! <3 and FINALLY, been waiting two weeks or something to see it. There was no one in the salon, 5 people maybe. Pretty nicee, and we were late when we got there so we didn't think we would get any good seats. but I guess no one goes to the movie in the middle of the week. It was me, Daeul and Sumaiya (a friend from school).

Time is just flying by, can't believe I've been here for 5 months.

Dance recital

Today, after practice (that ended at 7 pm), the school had a Dance Recital. It's just the dance classes perfoming. They were pretty good, very entertaining. Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, it's hard to take pictures of people moving all the time.

Have a math test tomorrow, wish me luck.

Holidays are coming, holidays are coming!

This is our house now with all the christmas lights up! We have a snowman by the door that starts to sing every time you walk past it, scares the hell out of me every single time! But the lights are so beautiful, the whole neighborhood is.

Yesterday we had a late practice, 5.30-7 pm, and tomorrow we are having it the same time. New coach, new schedule. The new coach seems really good, we got a lot done last practice. She is more structured and it feels like she knows what she's doing.

Black Friday

Today has been so crazy and weeeird!

At midnight me and Daeul went to Anastatzie's house 'cause were going Black Friday shopping with her and her sister. Sadly.. her sister forgot about us and we were stuck at her house for two hours because we had no ride to the mall. So Daeul decided to call Minerva and she is such an angel and took us to the mall even though she hates Black Friday! IT WAS SO COOL, there were people everywhere. And the saaaales, wow. Two pairs of shoes for $15 in one store.. DEAL! <3 At 5 am we went home. I WAS SHOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT !! isn't that cool?

I slept for some hours and then at 1pm Francois called me and wanted to go shopping... so I got up again and he picked me up. He wanted to buy some hoodies and.. well it took him 15 min and then he was done.. I was like: Yeaaaa, I haven't even started!

Love it, xoxo

Happy Thanksgiving!!

My first (and probably only) Thanksgiving :D Off from school today, lovely! at 9 am Minerva put the turkey in the oven, it was suppose it be in there for 4 hours :O I contribute with making meatballs and mashed potatoes, haha! At 1 pm Greg's son Ryan and his family came over and we had a Thanksgiving dinner :) After that Daeul, Minerva and the kids went outside for a walk and me, Greg and Ryan stayed inside to watch the football game. Omgosh.... THEY FARTED ALL THE TIME. Jesus, it was so nasty... When the others came back they had picked up a bunch of pine cones and we decided to make them cuteee, and then suddenly we were on the floor painting. It was so fun!

Now me and Daeul are waiting for the clock to be 12 so we can go SHOPPING! :D

Exchange students

Yesterday we had almost all the exchangestudents from CCI over to our house. Everybody had to make one dish of food from their homecountry. I made meatballs and cinnamon buns, of course. (Everybody loved it) We had food from Sweden, Norway, China, Korea, Thaiwan and Mexico (Minerva). I invited Hannah too :) At the end it was only me, Hannah, Daeul and the girl from China, Ming, left and we decided to take Ming to the mall bacause apparently she had never been to one here! So the whole family got into the cars and headed to the mall. When we came home again we teached Hannah and Ming how to play nork,nork. The card game we always play and I finally got some competition because Hannah was really good!! The last picture is of our names written in Korean and Chinese, mine is first I think. Awesome, right?

In this crazy world of choices I've only got a few

for once, I actually felt good after doing a history test. Had a test today about the Civil War in America and I think I passed... must be the first one.

The school musical was today and I went with Hannah. It was really good, very surprised about that. They were such good acters. The name of the musical was "Anything goes", had never heard about it but it was really cute. The story was almost like Titanic.

No reflection

Hey everyone!

nothing exciting happening right now, school is kind of boring! But you know, it's school :)

my first basketball game has been moved so it's not until 6-7 December. GOSH... I wanna start noooow, I'm too excited. Oh, and one of our coaches quited.. so now we only have one and we started of with three.

More Christmas

Decorated the house todaay :D Christmas, christmas, chistmas!! It's like more than a month left haha, but who cares.

We still have no snow, and this weekend was really nice! I think we hade 20 degrees outside :) We were doing some more of the Chritmas lights outside in T-shirts. That was odd.

At 5 pm I went with my friend Michael to his church. They had like a early Thanksgiving dinner-thingy, A LOT of free food!! and some fun games :) it was fun to meet new people, like always everybody is really nice. Plus it was my first time going to a church here. Before we ate we prayed and when we were done with the food and games we went in to the actual church and talked about God, Thanksgiving, how great America is etc. I just nodded and listned. I'm not gonna be rude or anything. When they prayed I just closed my eyes and acted as I new what I was doing. But I had a great time! Fun to do something different.

It's Friday, Friday!

This daay was so booooooooring! First in APES (enviromental science) we did nothing! We had nothing to do... I played Fruit Ninja for 90 min. Then in Interdisc (eng&hi) they did collage research stuff and I'm not going to collage here so I didn't have to do anything in that class either, AND MY COMPUTER DIED IN VIDEO COM!! so I decided to play Fruit Ninja for 90 min again... My scores are awesome now, just so you know. But after lunch I had math and that was actually the highlight of the day! The guys I sit next to in there are so funny and they really cheered me up :)

Now I'm probably gonna watch Vampire Diaries and Teen Wolf. It's weird to be home on a Friday.. not having a football game :s kind of boring..

Lawrence north High School

Finally took the time to take some pictures around the school.

Nothing special really, long boring hallways with big green lockers. Outside we have the tennis courts, a baseball court, of course the football feild and further down we also have soccer feilds. The things I didn't get a picture of is the indoor pool and the basketball court. Outside the school there is a huge parking lot around the whole school, in front is the parking lot for the teachers and at the back is for the students.

The candy machines is everywhere in the school and everybody, almost, walks around with a bag of candy or chips in their hands.

I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe.

Today we celebrated Minervas dad :) We went to eat at a mexican restautant, of course ;) It's is soo weird here in America, you get free refills everywhere.......... When your glas is half full they give you a new full glas of whatever you are drinking. You don't even have to ask for it, they just take your glas. I'm like, do I need to pay for this now? , when they are giving me a new glas of coke. Me and Minerva got a bit crazy at the end of the dinner, as you see in the picture.

I can't believe Halloween is over :( that's so sad, but it was so awesome!! Wished we had Halloween like that in Sweden... I'M DEFINITELY GOING TRICK OR TREATING NEXT YEAR! I don't care if I don't get any candy, it was so fun!! Running around, looking like fools, acting all crazy!

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloweeeeen!!!

So I went trick or treating today for THE FIRST TIME! I think :s If I didn't do it when I was younger.. But it was so cool!! There were people everywhere, in all different ages! Just like a movie! Me and Payton walked around for about 2 hours. We got tons of candy, and they had this rule. If the house had their light on the outside of the house off, they didn't have any candy! So you would know. So we were running aroung everywhere, it was hilarious! And some houses had a bowl outside that said "take one", yeah right.. Then when we got home we traded some candy. I'm already tired of it..... I'll be eating candy for weeks.... but it was so worth it !! :D

btw: we were supposed to be pandas.. but what ever...
