Sorry, it is already a longer time ago that I poste something. But yesterday we had a lot of things going on :D

That was actually my sister Natalie's unbirthday party, her birthday is next Wednesday ^^ it was an "Alice in Wonderlnd" party and most of her friends even dressed up! Sorry, I should have taken photos...
At 4 my friend Sencer came over and we went to a fun center to play laser tag with some friends. It is like a shooting game but it doesn't hurt because you shoot with light. Then we had a mexican dinner and watched "The Avengers" :) It was a great day!!

Natalie and I made cake and yummie cupcakes with frostening topping (cotton-candy flavor ;P) for John's 9th birthday.

CLUBS -> LOUD CROWD

HI!
Wow it's already a whole week ago that I postet my last post :Oo
Well, last week was .....CLUB WEEK :D (we could sign up for clubs)
There are soooo many clubs, I am in 4 clubs now :D

• the make-a-wish-club where you meet once a month at lunch. The club is about letting wishes come tru wishes from children who have cancer or something like. That's so great, isn't it?
• the drama club. I guess everyone knows what that is :D Meeting once a month (how the......can you make a play if you meet only once a month?!).
• the mountain biking club. We meet once a month at school, but there are mountain bike trips in the mountain next to us every Saturday :)
• the American folk club. FOLK MUSIC :D Yeah I could improve my guitare skills, play country music and and and ....

I am sooo happy to be involved, finally :D But I should have taken a picture of that CROWD in the main hall. Because, well, signing up for clubs doesn't mean that you get a paper with available clubs, mark the clubs you want to join, sign it and give it to the main office, NO, it means:

1. go to the main hall
2. fight through the crowd to the tables where people present their clubs
3. shout, yell, scream your questions so that they can understand you (remember the big crowd -> LOUD)
4. discuss (LOUD) with your friend(s) if you wanna join the club
5. fight through the crowd standing directly in front of the table
6. sign up!

Last Friday Night

Hello everyone!
Last Friday night ..... was awesome :)
DO you know this fun places from teen-movies where friends play mini golf or...whatever? :D We were there and we played mini golf and it was a lot of fun!

Then we played "Laser Tag"!!!! That's awesome.

And we were in New York, too.

Okey, just kidding :DTaht's a fake.

Funny post of the day ^^

Funny post of the day :D
Our French teacher said: "English is much harder than French." - NO! :DD
Maybe English sometimes seems to be hard, especially when you have a problem with you English teacher or French your first language. But believe me, I've learned both languages and FRENCH IS NOT EASIER THAN ENGLISH :D
I just had to say that, maybe some people, as my teacher have a different opinion about that, that's okay, but French has many many many more rules and so on.
Example:
English: I go, you go , he goes, we go, you go, they go
French: Je vais, tu vais, il vait, nous allons, vous allez, ils vont
2nd example:
English: this
French: ce, cette, ces, cettes
Do you know what I mean? ;P
