Starbucks, Friends, Love to America ♥

Hi guys, you should know that I miss you a lot. I am thinking about my time with you every single day and wish I had the money (and time) to come visit for a couple of month. America was the greatest thing that could ever happen to me and I am very grateful for every day I spend there.

Unfortunately my English is getting worse every day, cause I am not talking English all day and the English of my teacher is even worse than mine :( I miss talkin in English and I hate for it to decrease every single day! Who wants to skype to help my English?

Christmas is coming up and I am not looking forward to it because I don't know how and where to celebrate it this year. Since Thomas and I are together for almost 3 years now and were living together it would feel weird to spend Christmas Eve with my parents. Thomas' siblings invited us to spend it with them. Thomas really wants to do that, but I wouldn't feel as comfortable as I wish I would... We have to decide this weekend what we're gonna do....

Last week I had 5 girls of my new class here. We had a great time! And I thank God for them! It feels great to finally make friends here and have some girls that you can talk with about everything that's going on in your life and that hang out.

Today I am alone again... Thomas is competing in a tournament (German Championship) and all of my friends are busy.. I guess I am going to rent a couple of DVDs, have Cappuccino and Popcorn! :D Haha

Oh. Before I forget: BIELEFELD HAS A STARBUCKS NOW!!!! - FINALLY!!!!! :)
Here is a picture of me and the girls and one of me at Starbucks! ;)Love you people!!! ♥

School

For those who don't know it yet. I started school about two month ago. I love it! I had two weeks fall break now and I miss it already. Can't wait for it to start again on Monday. Isn't that weird? I would never be waiting for school.. only for the breaks. Ha! Anyways I have a pretty busy schedule but a great class! I've never been in a class in which everyone likes everyone. At least a little bit. I mean of course there are some characters that I wouldn't call my friends, but I could talk to anybody. That is just great, if you ask me! On my second day I learned that two girls are Christian two. I was soo excited! The only subject I am really disappointed with is English. My English teacher seems to be unable to prepare us for our big test in the end of our 3rd year... I hope it get's better soon!

I am not sure if anyone is still reading this blog and so I am thinking about closing it, so if You are still reading it, just let me know, so I know I write this stuff for a reason, okay!?

I am off to get some homework done.

Or no Hockey???

So I went to this bazaar last Saturday and it was just awkward. First the girl I wanted to meet didn't show up. She did write me a text earlier, but I didn't get it because I've got a new number... :/ Also the people that were there we're everything else than nice and helpful. I asked for Nina. And the hobby-team, but nobody even attempt to help me :( I was pissed! I put like all my hopes in that hobby team...
On Wednesday I will meet Nina. Hope she can tell me something more and I may have the chance to play hockey. But I don't wanna get to excited about it. I don't wanna be disappointed again...

Yesterday Thomas and I went to a church with really nice ppl. I think we'll go on Wednesday to their smallgroup and to the service next Sunday. I am hoping for some friends there and also a church that might be ours...

Today was my first day of school. It was kinda cool and I am so happy to be back to school. I am so happy about not sitting at home all day anymore... I am excited!! I can't wait for English Class :D

Pancakes :)

Today Thomas' and I got us a little bit of America to Germany. In one store they sold 'American Food' - Stuff last week. So we bought this pancakes mix and Salty Microwave Popcorn ♥. Today we made our pancakes :) They actually tasted like pancakes :D Haha, I didn't think so before. It was yummy :) Here're some pictures...

Hockey

Hi guys. I told you that the Hockey girls team that's playing here is WAY to good for me. A couple of days I wrote an email to this goalie girl I talked to before. I told her that I still was fighting myself whether I should join and play with them, even though I feel sooo bad next to them and I asked her if there's any other team close to my home that I might be able to join. So now I found out there's like a beginners- hobby- group and I really hope they are on my level and I can play with them for the start. I mean, I haven't played in half a year so it might take me a while to really get into it again. I am really excited. Tomorrow is a icehockey- bazaar at the rink and I will meet Nina (the girl I talked to). She'll try to get me some contacts to those hobby guys and I will try to get a new stick. Waaah. I can't wait for tomorrow :)

On Monday school'll start for me. I'm kinda excited. I really hope I'll find some friends there!! And school doesn't piss me off right away ;) We'll see how it goes.

Miss you guys and America!!♥

Driving Thomas' car

I don't think I told anyone of you that I don't like Thomas' car :D I am used to big cars. Like when I first had my license I drove my parents car which was like even a little bigger than just a regular van. I loved it. I would sit higher than anyone else on the street. I had a great view of the situation and I knew how long, how big the car was. I never had any trouble figuring out how much space I had on either side of the car. Then in the US I had "my" Jeep. I loved it! Same here. I sat higher than in any regular car. I had a big car. I knew where the car ended. I didn't have any problems EVER figuring out how close I am to the other cars or the sidewalk. Now I am driving Thomas' car. A small one. I am sitting low. I have no good view at the street and the situation. I do not know how long or how big the car is. I do not know how close I am to the sidewalk. I do not know how close I am to the cars that are facing me. I hate it! So I didn't drive a lot at first and I noticed that every time I wanted to drive I would be nervous at first. And I hated myself for that. So now I try to drive as often as I can and it gets better :) I hope that I feel really comfortable in that car very soon!

Oh, and as most of you read on facebook: I cut my hair. I went to the cutter only once in my life and it was really bad. I hated the outcome. Usually my mom would cut my hair. But now that I am not living with her anymore I guess I have to start doing it myself :D I cut my hair twice in the past and I am really confident about my new hair cut. I like it! :D So here's a picture.

Babysitting

Life is GOOD :)

So I was on this page called www.haushelden.de and I tried to find a family in which I could babysit once in a while. There was one family on there, pretty close to where I live with a girl named Leonie (9 yrs old) that needed a babysitter. So I wrote my application and today I had my "job interview" there. The mom and her girl are really nice, Leonie has a bunny which she presented to me proudly. They also have a cat, but that is nothing I need to care about as their babysitter ;) Anyways it went really well and I will meet them again tomorrow. Tomorrow the mom plans to leave Leonie and me alone for a while so we can get to know each other better and see how it goes. I have a really good feeling about that family and I am looking forward to work for them. So yes. Life is good :D
