Old update, because I don't have 45 days left XD

Hey guys. First of all, this is my old update andsecond of all because my grad post was pretty long, I decided to put the rest in a extra one.  Let's start with the fact, that there are 45 days left.  45! It's ridiculous how fast time goes by.  I mean one part of me wants to go home but it's still unbelievable that my year is nearly over.   There are 3 1/2 weeks of school left and I still need to get stuff done.  In IA I am working on a picknick table right now.  Thr cool thing is, if I got that done I will make another one and get 50$ for that :D (even if it took me 3 days to just get the legs done, but now I'm advanced).  I also have to make 3 wands still.  I really hope there is enought time to get all of that done. In Art I'm still working on Dobby.  He takes longer than I thought, but after sanding him and stuff I finally paint him right now.  I can't wait how he will be looking when he is done.  :D Im CTS I also finished my awesome Harry Potter Pillow.  It looks great in my opinion and will always remind me of Canada.
At our school we have a track team.  After my math teacher convinced me to join, we had a Track meet last Tuesday.  The problem.  Till the Thurday before that, I was a lazy potato and did nothing. So I started running Thursday and was to sore to do anything on Friday.  Instead we had Youthgroup that day and it was so much fun.  We played Mafia and then the narrator made up stories how we got killed and who it was and stuff.  It was very funny too :D On the weekend I practiced running again and felt good for the race.  I  made first place in 1500m and 800m even if I was the only girl in my category but that didn't really matter.  Now I have two cool medals.  I did Javelin too and got third, even though I just had one day to practice.  So now we are going to another track meet this weekend.  I don't really feel prepared, but at least there is a Tim Hortons in GP ;) Talking about sports.  Football started last week as well.  It was fun.  I am one out of two girls, but that's not to bad.  Sadly we are running lots in practice and I was really glad at the first practice, that I did running before that because otherwise I would've been dead after practice.  I'm looking forward to the next practices and hopefully a game too.
This weekend it was really hope.  Some people might think it doesn't get hot in Canada.  It actually does and it's even hotter than in Germany right now (Take that Germany ;) Because of that we decided to go to a near by river.  Because there was not enough room on the quadd I decided to take the bike.  On Sunday we went to church like every Sunday.  I finally didn't forget to bring a strawberry basket I had as a Funraiser.  On this Sunday there was a new candidate pastor speaking (our church has none right now)  The best thing about that is, that there was Potluck after that (everyone brings me awesome food.  Exept for the one time and all the women were at a womens retreat and no one really cooked anything really delicous)  Anyway.  Next week the potluck theme (there is potluck to every last Sunday of the month)  is represent your country so I really think about what I could make.
After church I got invited by a friend to go to the river again.  So my neighbour and me went there with bikes and it was a really nice afternoon and we even went into the water.
On Thursday we went to the movie theatre to watch pitch perfect 2. This movie was so hilarious and probably one of the funniest ones I've ever seen.
There is one last thing that I remember.  Two weeks ago we went to something that was called PARTY program which stands for Preventing Alcohol and something while Driving (I'm sorry I really forgot what it stands for)  anyway.  First they were talking about impacted driving and then they showed us a real life situation. We went outside and there was a crashed car and they even put make up on the victims.  Then the police, ambulance, firefighters qnd electrician guys came and we could see what they do if q crash like that happened.  It was very interesting.  Then we could ask them questions and we got free lunch  (Pizza) .  In the afternoon two people were talking to us who were victims.  The first womens dad died because of a drunk driver and the second person, caused the accident himself.  They told us their story amd especially the first one was pretty sad and made me so mad about the drunk driver how he just destroyed another ones life.  After that we had some stations where they showed us what happened after we are injured and how they care for us.  I got to sit in a wheel chair and drank thickened water (it's gross).  The best was, that there was a women. She wore a necklace for a key and it had Gryffindor colours and I asked  her if the keything was related to harry potter and she said yes (btw I wore a hogwarts Tshirt.) and gave me a 15$ iTunes Giftcard.  Isn't that awesome!? I was like why did you give that to me? And she said Because your special :D so the lessons I learned that day don't drive impacted and always be proud of the Harry Potter fandom and recognize other Potterheads :)

My graduation :)


On May 9th I had my graduation.  And Mockachievement day,which is something where you practice things for the show day.  The problem.  It was both on the same day.  But because I am awesome, I made it to both.  In thr morning my hostmum made my hair and then we went to the Mockachievement day.  I felt zu fancy and dressed up, but couldn't change it.  When we were there we were petting our steers and then there was a guy, who gave us some useful information.  I had to leave half way threw the presentation for Grad.  First I thought my hostdad forgot me at the arena,because they wanted to drive home, get changed and then get me.  But then they luckily decided to bring me to school first, before they go change at home.   So I went into school with my "farm" clothes.  I got changed ih the washroom and then I was good to go for grad.  On this day I really felt like a double agent (or Hannah Montana xD)  Then other grad people came too and they all looked really pretty.  Then we took a group picture and had to smile for about 5 minutes, while there were flashlights everywhere! (how do famous people do that?!?)  Anyway.  About half an hour later my escort arrived.  I asked him like 5 days before that and was glad that he said yes.  His name is Michael and he was the first friend I made in Canada at all so I thought it would be nice, if he'd be my escort.  After taking more pictures, the ceremony started at 2 pm.  Because my lastname starts with W and because I am an exchangestudent I was the last one, who walked in.  But then eventually we did to "The climb " by Miley Cyrus xD Then we sat down and guess who sang the national anthem for everyone?  Me :D.  For that I wanted to mention that at the rehearsal one day earlier I totally screwed that up,because I was singing with instrumental playback and it was horrible.  Good thing was that I could laught about myself and told everyone it would be better tommorow.  And it was.  I decided to sing accapella and it worked out pretty good.  After that a lot of people gave speeches.  Then they gave everyone a certificate and I didn't fell down the stairs. Oh I wanted to mention, that my shoes were borrowed and kind of uncomfortable, but I was to cheap to buy me a pair just for one day.  After receiving the certificate, we got roses and we had to give them to someone we are thankful for.  So obviously I gave it to my hostdad and thanked him for taking me and everything :) When we were done with that, we watched  a slideshow.  I was sadly not on there, but it was still a great thing.  Then we walked all out and the graduation was over.  I took a couple more pictures with my host family and then we went back to the arena, to pick up my hostbrother from the 4H thing.  Because i was really hungry and my family too, we went to A&W xD.  On that day was also a Zumbathon.  So after A&W we split.  The boys/men  went home and the girls /women went to Zumba.  Me smart as I am forgot my gym clothes so I had to dance in socks and my farm clothes, but it was ok.  The Zumbathon was fun, but I sadly didn't win the massage from the draw in the end.   After the Zumbathon we went home and I was glad that I made it threw this really busy but awesome day.

PS: i decided to not go to the grad dance afterwards, because it would have been 150$ just for me and I would have needed a supervisor and signatures feom everyone I wanted to take and I think that wasn't worth it,even if lots of people said I should have went, because it's a once in a lifetime thing. But the thing is. There are lots of Once in a lifetime opportunities. And going on a party (even if it's grad dance) is something I'm not to mad about missing. I still have my real graduation and dance in Germany.
