Football, School, Blazers (aka my Life)

Howdy!
I guess I owe y'all another update but I'm going to be honest I basically don't have a life outside dance so don't be surprised (or bored) if most of my posts are going to be about dancing..

But let's talk a little bit about football first, shall we? I still remember my first game like it was yesterday but  it was almost 6 weeks ago! Since then a lot has changed- I am seeing football from a totally different perspective now not only because I'm not standing in the bleachers anymore but also because I finally understand (most of) it! I would have never thought that I'll enjoy watching football so much but I definitely have a new favorite sport to watch - sorry Fortuna.
Oh and for my German friends - I know what y'all are thinking and the answer is no ;)

Now for my classes and High School in general - my WHS is absolutely awesome and I still love my schedule. I know a lot of you want to know how difficult the classes are and all that stuff so here's my brief opinion:
Compared to the classes in Germany the classes here are easy-peasy, however since everything's in English it is kind of difficult for the first couple weeks. Like my math class for example we're doing things I did two years ago but the way how to write everything done et cetera is completely different so it's like you have to learn it again. My other classes are mostly very easy - Government was hard at the beginning because of all the new words but once you take the time to look most of them up it starts to make so much sense and actually get's quite interesting! Anatomy is hard for me because I don't know a lot of the stuff they did in Biology but everyone's so nice and helpful that I'm doing okay right now - shout out to everyone who helped me in that class - y'all basically saved my life. English is like German but sooo much easier because we never had to write long essays (even though I actually miss it...) and my other classes aren't even real classes that I have to study for so yeah - I love High School  and I am so happy that I already made some great friends here! So for y'all who are wondering - I'm feeling great and becoming an exchange student was the best decision of my life so far!

Now for a conclusion I have to write a little bit about dancing!
The day I wrote my last post was actually the day where we had a very special football game/halftime show because we performed with the Blazer Babes which was so much fun and they did such a great job! Sadly the week after that wasn't a very good week for us Blazers. We had to learn two new routines and because one of them had a stunt in it, it took us forever to finish it which ended in us messing up quite a lot in that one but luckily most kids still liked it and we had fun so I guess that's all that matters! However we all were kind of sad because the cutest girl ever Cyndi injured herself so bad 12 hours before the performance that she couldn't dance with us, and couldn't dance friday evening at the football game either (which was a okay performance I guess if you leave the fact out that three of us (including me) couldn't to the splits). We are a great team but we're not as awesome if someone's missing so we all hope that she'll be able to dance this friday!

This saturday I also went to my first haunted house ever with the German club and it was freaking awesome (and scary) even though I think that it's crazy that they have a maze with clowns with chainsaws in them who will chase you! At least I could shock them too  because in the third or fourth house Keele and I just started to sing "Ich bin win Gummibär" which totally confused some of the people. Speaking of German club, remember when I told y'all about UIL? Well, it looks like I'm not only going to do persuasive speaking but also a German play which means that I get to coach them in German - doesn't that sound like fun? I think it does!!
I'm getting really exciting when I think about all the up coming events like competitions, dances and holidays!

Normal friends kick your butt, she kicks your shoulder! 

I'm clever :D 

I'm in love with these boots!

Alright guys, I hope y'all are enjoying this post but I'll have to stop now because it's getting late and my bed is waiting for me! I'll talk to y'all very soon (or see you in school if you're on of my american friends) and I hope y'all are having an awesome week!

Lots of Love

I LOVE DANCING!

Hey guys!
So this post is going to be in English but please do not expect it to be perfect! Writing in English might be easier than writing in German but it's still ... weird. Anyways, I don't have much time so I'm just going to start right away.
The last two weeks have been awesome but soooo freaking exhausting! My whole day consists of school, blazer practice and homework. I think I never had so little spare time in my life but y'all know what? I love it!
Yeah, school is getting quite difficult but it's okay because everyday I feel like I meet someone new and everyday is just full of surprises! With every day that passes I feel more and more like a real Wildcat and I could already start to cry when I think about leaving.
However, you might want to know a little bit more about my weeks. Though I have to skip a lot from last week because I just can't remember it all, sorry! But what I do remember is the awesome Rangers Game that I attended with a bunch of Exchange students - shout out to y'all - you are awesome! The rest of the week was basically just Blazer practice and performances. I finally had my first pep-ralley performance and it was ... horrible and awesome at the same time! I was so nervous but it was so much fun at the same time! Saturday we had "Blazer Babes" which means that we taught little kids how to dance, they were so sweet but it was so difficult to team them everything - however they're pretty good and I'm so excited to seem them all tonight! (Pictures and hopefully a video will follow soon!)
So, let's talk real quick about this week - this week was EXHAUSTING! Every inch (cm) of my body hurts so much and oh my god, I didn't even know that those parts of my body could hurt that much.
I had my second performance today and I think I did a lot better then on my first one but I still think ... well that it looked horrible! Dancing takes so much effort, work and perfection and I'm going to be honest I'm a long way from dancing the way I hope to dance one day but I hope I'll get there within the next months! Because even though it's exhausting as hell I notice with every day how much I love to dance! Joining the Blazer's was the best decision I've made so far and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
It's just that feeling that you get  when you perform, or even the singing during the football game it's just awesome and I finally start to understand football which makes me really proud and makes watching it even more nerve racking because our team is awesome - GO WILDCATS!
I also wanted to mention my awesome Blazer Team - they are the coolest, sweetest, weirdest girls I've ever met and I am so thankful that I'm part of the Team - LOVE Y'ALL.

As you might noticed I'm super hyper right now, it's just that I am so happy here! I don't think Aspect could have found a more perfect placement for me, my host family is super awesome, my school is great and ah ... Everything's more then great and I hope y'all are fine and having a great weekend!
Talk to y'all soon
Bye-bye <3
