Soon Homecomming!

Ok... Today I was a bit stressed! Tomorrow night is cronation (they say who becomes the homecomming king and queen). And since I'm a senior AND a exchange student, I have to get some sort of price or something... Well, the thing is that I have to dress up. Wear a nice dress, fix my hair and stuff like that. And I borrowed a dress from a friend... But, when I was trying it on today, I saw that it was kind of falling apart!!! I thinnk I might have ruined it (I'm SOOO SORRY Melody!!! :(



So now I didn't have a dress! + I didn't have any shoes either... But Katie and Andrew took me to the mall, I found this gorgious dress and really pretty shoes! So everything turned out ok... hehe...







Sorry for the bad picture, but there is something wrong with my camera...

My 2nd birthday :D

This saturday, Ashlynns family held a party for me and Ashlynn. It was so nice of them! I got my own cake :D Here in the U.S. the call it "the golden birthday" when you become the number you have your birthday on... hm:/ That was harder to explain then I thought... Well, it was my golden birthday because I turned 17, and my birthday was on September 17th ;)

The guy on the picture to the right is Kole. He is really nice, he is in my Geography class and in my youthgroup.

My Birtday!

When I came home from the trip with EF, my host family had really been working! I was really suprised. It was nice of them!

Stunts!

By the way, my first football game that I am going to cheer at is next Friday, on the Homecomming game!!! AND I think that they want me to do a stunt!!! hehe... :/ A bit nervous, but I guess it will be ok.

But I went to practice today, and tomorrow it is a football game, and I'm going to watch!!! I'm so looking forward to that!
At practice today, they liftet me up (allmost like on the picture), it was a bit scary but also fun. They also learned me some of their cheers, it is a lot of fun:)

Hey.

Ok, this happened a couple of days ago. But now I have some pictures too! We went to Minneapolis and watched a Twins game! It was a lot of fun :) I bought a T-shirt and ate cotton candy ;P The game lasted for about 3 hours, but it was exiting to watch... so the time flew by. They didn't win, actually, they didn't score ANY points! BUT it was a lot of fun ;)

Nothing spescial have happened latley... Well, I went to a "senior-party" yesterday, that as a lot of fun! got to know my fellow seniors a bit. We played "kick ball" (it is like baseball, but instead of hitting the ball, you kick it;), I learned how to play pool from a guy that has won MANY prizes (oh, by the way... I won!!!) we ate food and sang karaoke :D

First day at school!

Hey!

Today was my first day at school. I was kind of nervous when I was waitning for the buss, but felt better when the buss came and I saw one of my new friends. The buss was soo cool, it was yellow!!! hehe... When I arrived at the school, we went to put our things in our locker.

My first class was "study hall", we just got our places and talked...
Then I had "english 12", that was a lot of fun... the teatcher is so cool. And the people in my class are friendly and funny :)
Then I had "algebra II", it was ok, but I'm not that good in algebra, so I think it will be hard in the beginning... But after a while, I think it will get better.
Then I had "american history", and after that it was finally lunsh break! Lunsh was kind of cool, since I'm a senior, I get food before everybody else! hehe... After lunsh, I had "geography 9", "something I can't remember the name of" (hehe) and another "study hall".
Met many new people... I think I will like it at this school ;)

!!!G.H.E.C.!!!
