Tons of Fun

Hey guys! After some troubles with my computer I am back now. I didn't do anything, but it couldn't start anymore. So I went to a computer store to let check it and they noticed a hardware problem and said to me it just happened sometimes to computers. The good thing, we sent it to California and they could fixed it very fast and for free; the bad thing, all things on my computer were gone, when I got it back yesterday. I had to download skype, icq and all these things again and luckily we saved my pictures before we sent it away! (:

Okay now is all right again and I have a few things to tell about the last two weeks.
Last weekend was the big birthday party for my little host sister Sofia. It was a party with lots of people, lots of food and tons of fun. We celebrated with the theme of Princess, that means all was in pink. It was gorgeous. And the best thing? - The big jumping house in the backyard. It was definitely a succesful party and Sofia got lots of present.

And in the evening I went my first time to an american movie theatre and watched Abduction after eating Mexican with my favorite mexican girl Mariana and the other girls. yeah it was a good day.

After sleeping in on the next day I enjoyed a typical american sunday. I only watched TV all day long; but on this day I watched Desperate Housewives instead of football with my host sister Kelsey. And soon another good day was over.

The next week passed fast and after just four days the next weekend was there. The Friday of Octobre 21 was called fall break. One day is not a lot, but I have to say it's better than nothing. I started into the long weekend with a sleepover with the cheer girls. It was lots if fun; we put make up on each other blind folded, popped ballons, danced, ate a lot and watched very scary movies.

After a very short night my host mom was taking me home and we had a very good shopping day with all girls of my host family. I love them.. and I love my new boots ! I didn't found a good winter coat, but hopefully there will be further shopping trips until it gets very bad cold.

Back home we put the warmest clothes we found on to get ready for the first sectional game. It was the first game, where a chance for our boys were to loose - so all of us were very excited. But all in all we had no problems to win another game after the first fourteen wins. yeah I have to say I'm very proud of my school to play so well. And I hope so bad that they will make it into the end game of the sectionals!

We are thininking about going to the Bridge Festival and than the long weekend is almost over. And on monday my first thought will be; skip the week and let it be the next weekend! The tons of fun have to continue!

Homecoming

Last week was a special week, one of the very amazing weeks - it was the week of homecoming. It was a week of school spirit and fun. We had every day a theme for dressing up and the Nerd Day picture is just one example of all the cool days. We had also 80's Day, Cowboy Day, Camo Day and Spirit Day (Orange and Blue - our school colors).

We had also boys volleyball games, freshmen against sophomores, juniors against seniors, and it was lots of fun because the senior boys dressed up in gay shorts, pink shirts with capes and sunglasses :'D And as was expected the seniors won.

And we had a girls football game, called powderpuff, freshmen against sophomors, and juniors against seniors.

After collecting all the week points for the grade you are in ( I collected certainly for the Juniors) they were totaled on friday. We had friday shortened classes and all in all half an hour earlier school finish for getting ready in the gym for the homecoming game. In this pep saison the seniors boys played volleyball against the teachers, the band played great music and a lots of times the school song and the cheerleaders made happy atmosphere. All in all was it a great a event for special school spirit and the student got excited for the homecoming game in the evening.

Homecoming means that lots of people, that are already out of school coming back for watching football and enjoying the school spirit again.

After getting ready at home for the game I went back at 6pm in my cheering outfit. It was my first time to cheer for a game in front of lots of people and I was very very nervous. I cheered only for the third and fourth quarter and had lots of fun, although I messed up at some parts. And it was very cold and and it seemed to be rain soon. I wore two sweatshirt and pants over my cheer outfit, but no cloves like most of the other cheergirls. I didn't know, that it would be this cold. I defently have to buy more warm clothes soon, and this are just the temperatures of fall, not winter !

All in all I had a very nice week, a very nice time with the cheer girls and other students and watched the seven win of seven games. I watched the crowning of Homecoming Princesses and Queen and went eating one of the best pizzas after the game.

And finally now is weekend and I just want to skip the next weekdays until it is weekend again.

Do you want to see my school ?

North Putnam High School -
the place I will be 7 hours (sometimes more) five days a week the next nine months. But Luckily we have also afternoons, weekends, and vacation (:

~I love this school spirit. I have helped drawing at the windows and this are just some words for cheering for our students: "You've got this boys." "Play hard Get'em Cougars!" "2011, Let's Go Cougars." "Mark North Putnam Cougars a notch above the rest." "NPHS we're #1." "Boys of Fall <3." "We love our Cougars. Let's Goooo !"~

Further First Times

I went to my first Baby Shower in my whole life. It was a Shower for my cheerleading coach Ashley, who will get her baby in a few weeks. It was an event with most of the cheer girls and we had a lot of fun eating lunch, giving baby presents and popping balloons (:

I went the first time up in a cheerleading build after practicing many hours the dance cheers on the ground and I had a lot of fun by flying back into the girls arms, although I didn't exactly know, what I was supposed to do.

And my little host sister Sofia had her first soccer game.

Caaat !

And I also want to inroduce you to our new family member: Additionaly to our two dogs we have now also a little (very cute!) cat.

Sweet Home

Now I am already over one month in Indiana und I have definitely the feeling of a nice home where it is never boring (: You can see our kitchen, living room, and my own room, but this is just a little view into my new lovely home.

Another week is over

Another week is other and I have reached the best part of the whole week - weekend! And its not just a normal weekend - it is a long weekend - today is Laborday. I don't have to go to school, I can sleep in and I just can do nothing - it is great ! Yesterday we had a barbecue (the best of sundays is everytime the good food for lunch and that you can sleep in before) and we had also the chance to swim in the swimmingpool of our friends and watch TV inside of their big house.

It was a very good day after a demanding week with lots of homework and cheer practice. I got my first A in art and did my first tests an quizes in other classes. It was not to hard and I liked the multiple choice questions - so you can guess what the answer is although you have no idea of the answer (:

And to note at the end of this entry I become a greater football fan day by day and I am very excited what will happining in the near future.
