Whenever we have a Volleyball game we send eachother balloons and candy or we make signs and put them on the locker for good luck.
Before the season started the coaches gave each of us a big / little sister. :)It is supposed to be a secret but soon we found out who has who.
I got Crystal. :) She is so amazing. I definetely have the greatest big sister. :D

I thought it is worth posting it here since we have nothing like that in Germany. There is kind of a store in school, called Galley where you can go buy the ballons and the candy (or SCHS clothing e.g. hoodies, tshirts etc.), then you write a card for your sister and somebody will bring it to that person during class. :) So it's pretty funny when you sit in class and somebody walks in and gives you a bunch of balloons. :D

AMERICAN TV :)

I just started last week with watching TV shows I used to watch in Germany like 90210, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill! It's hard to keep track on them though cause these are all new seasons and most of the time even the season before haven't been broadcasted in Germany. ;) SO it's kinda hard to follow what happens. :D

my fav TV channel: CW

Monday: 90210 and Gossip Girl
Tuesday: One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected
Wednesday: Hellcats
Thursday: Vampire Diaries
Friday: Smallville and Supernatural

and another TV shows my friends want me to watch: GLEE!

The 4 days off school felt so good. I didn't have to worry about homework or upcoming quizzes. I just had a great time with friends.
Every weekend seems so busy now. I think while I was in Germany I wasn't that busy with friends but here I am. There is acutally always something to do, unless you have to wait for your friends for a couple of hours to pick you up since everything is so freaking spontaneous over here. :D The time passes by so quickly then and that's kinda sad. I really wish it could be August 3 again. And I feel bad for Rieke. She has only 3 months left. That sucks! Actually I have no reason to complain as I have 8 months left, but still.

I felt really sick the whole day and didn't go to practise. I hope I feel better tomorrow.

movie theatre :)

working at the Oktoberfest - children's area.

Skatepark with Niko, Ashley and Monika :D

@ Lindenwood

We visited the campus of Lindenwood University yesterday. Currently Kim teaches a marketing and business class there and Janet was invited as a guest to speak about the German import. Their aim is to establish a German shop n St. Charles selling typical German food items, clothing etc.
Janet and Kim were talking about that for a long time and now they really want to make it happen with the help of Kim's class.

4 days weekend !

Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday = NO SCHOOL and NO PRACTISE.
yeeees, I love Parent Teacher Conferences. :D

So these 3 days of school went by pretty fast..I hope that the weekend won't though. ;D There's like so much stuff to do and so little time.
We had volleyball practise just until 4:45 today. :) After that I hung out with Ashley, Nick and Monika. :D We went to Steak n Shakes to meet some friends and after that we headed down the river! :D

shopping with Rieke.

WEEKEEEEEEND! (:

And it had an amazing start. We had an ERD (Early Release Day) that means we got out of school at 11:45 pm. Ashley came over and I showed her my potential Homecoming dresses that I brought from Germany with me. After that we cruised around and had a big lunch at JACK IN THE BOX and drank my very first DR PEPPER, soo good. We headed to the park and chillaxed a while with her cousin Jennifer and Nick (Ashley's boyfriend). Too bad that I only had like 2 hours because of volleyball practise. :/

After I got home from volleyball practise I got ready for my first football game ever. It was going to be a big event since we were facing ST CHARLES WEST. It was SO much fun to cheer and to support the team. We took lots of pictures! :)
However, we lost. But we did pretty good.
LET'S GO PIRATES. HEY WEST, DON'T MESS WITH THE BEST.

Emily and I went to Taylor's house afterwards. She is one of Emily's best friends. We lay on top of her car, ate doughnuts, talked, laughed and just had FUUUN.
