Bye bye USA ! :)

So, right now I am sitting at my gate at BWI airport and I am so bored!
My last two weeks in Poteau were good. We went to Texas to visit my hostdad's family and then we went to six flags, a big amusement park with lots of roller coasters and stuff like that. That was a lot of fun.
Well and then when I had to leave it was really sad.. I cried a lot at the airport.
I flew from Fort Smith to Atlanta, and from there to Baltimore where I visited my mom's cousin and his family. We went to Washington, D.C. and to Baltimore and they showed me around. I really like it here. It actually really is a place where I could see myself live.
Well as I said, right now I'm at the airport about to leave the United States. I really loved it here and really enjoyed my time. I will miss everything and everyone but I'm looking forward to seeing my German family and friends again!
See you soon Germany!

Last day of School and Tornadoes...

Sooo, as most of you may know, Friday was our last day of school. It was sad but I made it through the day. :)
The last week was great though. On Tuesday we had our talent show in the school. Some of the people were really good, others... well.... you know. Some of my friends did a dance and they won! It was really good and funny! :)
And then Wednesday we had the award show. That's where all the seniors get awards and scholarships and stuff like that. It was cool actually but it got boring cause it was almost 3 hours long.
On Thursday in choir we had cake because our choir teacher is retiring after this year... On Saturday we had a surprise concert for him and a lot of his students from all the last years showed up to sing with us. It was just amazing!
The whole last week of school I took so many pictures with all of my friends and I let them all sign one of my Poteau Pirate shirts. I will keep that forever! I love y'all!

Well... and then there were the tornadoes... So Monday, yesterday, we had went to Fort Smith to go shopping and we were almost on our way back when we heard about the tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. So when we got back home, on TV they said the tornado probably wouldn't hit Poteau, but we had a thunderstorm warning. We were all just sitting in the living room, all scared. Outside it was really still, like no wind at all. And then it started raining a little and there was thunder and lightning but not real bad you know. Well and then suddenly the sirens went off, we all ran outside, got in the car, and drove to the safe room of the middle school. And seriously, within maybe 5 minutes the wind and rain got so strong ut was unbelievable! So we were all sitting in the safe room and I was majorly freaking out. I had never been so scared in my entire life.
The tornado really hit Poteau, but luckily it wasn't that bad anymore. There was some damage downtown, but on our street there was only a few branches on the street and stuff. But I tell you, it was scary! And it hasn't stopped raining ever since...

Last week of school...

So the last week of school has started.. It's really sad to me and in first hour I almost started crying lol. Well, four school days left, let's make the best out of it!

Last week we had our choir spring concert. It was really good! I sang in the normal choir and we did two of our show choir songs and then some other people had solos and duets and stuff. It was fun! :)

Last Friday I went to Fort Smith with some of my friends. We went to eat at Fuji and then to the movies to watch The Great Gatsby. That movie is AMAZING! You HAVE to watch it! We started crying lol. But Leonardo DiCaprio is such a great actor! And he is perfect for the part he's playing.

Saturday our soccer boys played in the state championship finals in Tulsa. The school provided a bus for students who wanted to go see the game, so one of my friends and I went to see it and it was awesome! The game was intense but our boys did really good and won in the end! :) Go Pirates!! But it seriously almost gave me heart attacks. :D
After regular time it was 3:3 so they had to go into overtime. Golden Goal: whoever scored first, won. It was nerve racking!
But I'm so glad they won! When they scored that last goal, everyone jumped up and ran onto the field to celebrate and then we took a bunch of pictures and stuff. It was 1am when I got home but I had a blast! :)
Go Pirates! ♥

More Prom :D

I know I wanted to upload these pictures about two weeks ago, but yeah I don't know. I always forgot or didn't have time or whatever. But finally, Here they are! :)

Prom 2013 ♥

Last month...

First of all, Happy 1st of May to all my German friends! :) I hope y'all had fun last night. :)

I went to the band concert from our school last night and it was really awesome. They had black lights for some of the songs and that looked really cool.
Next Monday is our choir spring concert. I'm really excited for that. :)

Well, my last month here started today. I have exactly 30 days left... This will be going by so fast I can't even believe it..

Don't want to leave !

Today is April 26.

I have 35 days left in Poteau and 41 days until I have to leave the United States... Someone tell me this is not true??!!

Where did the time go? I can't believe how fast time passes by... 

It feels like I haven't been here for much longer than, I don't know, 2 months maybe. But no, it's been almost 9 months already, 269 days to be exact. 

It seems so unreal and I don't want to get all sentimental and stuff, but I think I might actually cry here in a little bit. 

It's crazy to think that in a little over a month I'll be back in Germany. Crazy that I won't be around all these crazy Americans anymore. Crazy that I won't go to Poteau High School anymore.. 

But even if I won't be here next school year, I will always be a Pirate! I know that these people here will always be my friends.

You wouldn't think that you could be so close with people you haven't known for a very long time, but my friends here are like another family. We've gotten so close, I can't imagine my life without them; I don't want to!

I'm already making plans with them to come and visit me but it won't be until they graduate probably. And just thinking about not being able to see them for over a year makes me wanna start crying again. 

I know all this probably sounds really cheesy to y'all, but it's the truth. I don't want to leave, but I guess I'll have to, eventually..

But You Will Always Be In My Heart ♥ Forever A Pirate

Prom, Prom, Prom ♥

Prom was awesome!! The whole day was great. I got my hair done, did my make-up, and then took some pictures with my friend Katelyn and my hostfamily. 
After that I went to eat at Fuji with Katelyn and her Mom. I love their food, it's sooo good! :D
And then we went to Prom and danced and took pictures and stuff. It was so much fun. :)
The prom committee did a great job! The decorations were awesome. Our theme was Hollywood Affair and it definitely looked like that! :)

I will upload pictures here probably today or tomorrow! :) 

Prom !!

Prom is today and I'm freaking excited !! Got my nails done yesterday and gonna get my hair done in a little bit.
Then it's picture time ! :D and after that I'm gonna go eat with two of my friends.
It's gonna be so much fun! :)

Musical ♥

All of our 3 shows were great! We got a lot of compliments and it was so much fun!
I'm hoping that I'll get a video of the show. :)

Prom is Saturday!!! And I'm so ready for it! :)
I have my dress and I'm wanting to post a picture of it so bad.. but then again I think naaah I want it to be a surprise. ;) But omg I'm in LOVE with that dress lol.
And I'm sooo excited for prom ! :)
Can't wait !!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels !

Florida was AMAZING ! 
I had so much fun in that week! And all the other exchange students that were with us were really cool! I have friends from Brazil, Vietnam, Thailand, China, and Taiwan now ! :) I just love Disney and the parks are amazing. The weather was great too. Even though it rained quite a bit, it was still warm enough to wear shorts everyday. And I got a little tanned too. ;) 
I think Disney World is just one of those things that you HAVE to see at least once in your life. It's hard to describe, but when you are there you just feel the magic; especially at the night shows and the fireworks and stuff. 
Well, I just had a really great time! :)

Today we had  the first show of our musical "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." We've been practicing since February and yeah today was the first show. And we'll have two other shows on Saturday and Sunday. 
I think the show was really good. A lot of people told me that they liked it. 
It's a really funny musical and it was fun to work with all the people, but also stressful! 
But I'm really glad that I could be a part of this. :)
