Long weekend of bonfires
Thursday was used to be my last day if this semester. But then sadly the bus was not running! First I was really upset, because I was like "This is my last day of gym, math and band class ever and O really liked this classes. I'm just glad my pop culture class is over, because I didn't really liked this class, because it was a group work class and I HATE group work!. One thing for example was that my group member printed of a 60! Pages presentation, which we haven't even presented in the end -.- (what a waste of paper). What was funny about the bus is not running thing. Usully you don't have school because it's to cold. Here you don't have school, because it's to warm xD (we had icy roads,because it was to warm.) Then we spended the das at home. First it was really weird, because it was like 7.40 and we were already awake! In the afternoon we made a snow ford,but then we were all to wet, we haven't had a snowball fight. In the evening we made a bonfire right in front of our house and that was pretty cool. On Friday I had no school either, because the exam week started. On Saturday we went Snowboarding again and it was so much fun! I even jumped a few times and worked on my 180. In the evening my hostsibblings wanted to make a bonfire in the bush and our actual plan was even to sleep out there. But then around midnight it started raining and we didn't had a roof so we went back to the house. But now I know how to start a bonfire and that it's actually burning, even after one hour. On Sunday was church wnd Potluck. And I can't tell you how awesome Potluck is! (lots of free good food). Now I collected three new very good recipes. After that yesterday was the last time to go to the Truth project. It's kind of sad that it's over because it was really interesting and I think I learned a lot :) In the evening we had a bonfire again and this time I was burning some of my school stuff, just for fun. Today (Monday) I have to go to school to write my final exam in Math, but then I don't have school for the rest of the week xD
Yummy 😋
Death my chocolate ^.^
It's so Warm right now ,that the snow is melting and it looks like spring (but I Want my snow back !!! ❄ )
Burning my School work :)

Skating, Snowboarding,Concert and last week of the semester
This week we've been skating with gym class. And guess what? I finally learned how to stop :D and also how to get along with a hockey stick and puck. On Friday we danced Zumba in gym and it was really fun, too. In Bandclass I had my final exam aka. Playing test and I got 95% which is not bad,because I screwed up at the sight reading part. I also realized I had 4 times pizza in just 3 days. I guess that's a new record xD
On Saturday I finally went snowboarding for the first time in Canada. Here is a small hill. But even if it was just a small hill, I had lots of fun. I was so happy that I could finally go snowboarding. They had blue and black slopes and I can't wait to go snowboarding in Jasper (Rocky mountains), but I'm totally ok with that hill for now as well. In the evening my hostmum and her baby had a baby shower. It's actually a baby party. We played some funny games. In one game we had to make a diaper out of toilet paper. Then there was a game, where you had to say as many boynames, as much toilet paper you got. I had to say eight names, what was pretty simple, because I'm readimg books. A game we played over the whole evening was a game, where you were not allowed to say the name baby. And if you had to give away one of your cloth pins. And if you heard someone saying it, then you could get one of them. In the end I made the third place. Not to mention that the I was hungry, after all those games we could finally eat. They had Noodles amd Spring rolls and it was sooo good. (especially because you could eat as many spring rolls as you want). Sunday was a really good day too. In the morning we went to church as usual, then we went to the Truth project and in the evening to a concert. It was from christian family band, called Canada's Double Portion. They were really good and the concert was fun. Monday started the last week of this semester and then we'll have no school for one week. (actually it's exam week, but I just write Math on Monday, so nothing else for the rest of the week. And I'm so glad when my pop culture class is over.
Have a good week everyone :)

School race and basketball weekend
On Monday school started agaon after winter break. Something really funny happened on Monday in Mathclass. We usully use colour sheets for important stuff. Bit it was empty, so thr math teacher asked one of the boys to get it, depends on who was faster. I wanted to go to so I said I'm faster. So she was like really? Let's see. So me and the guy were running threw the whole school (passing the principal) and in the end I got the colour sheets first and won the race. My math teacher was really surprised. By the way our Math teacher is pretty cool and funny.
Exept for that, it was a normal school day.
Right now it's around -30 outside. I just wanted to say that. And guess how warm it is in Germany? +6/10!!! Isn't that crazy and warm?!? I actually like the temperatures here more, because it's winter so I don't mind cold. And we got snow here. A big advantage compared to Germany.
This weekend we had a basketball tournament. We left at lunch time and when we arrived we had like two minutes to warm up, before we had to play. The first game game really wasn't good, and we we're all glad, when this game was over. After that we got our classroom,where we were sleeping in. (Yes we were sleeping in a school. Isn't that kind of cool?) Then we went to a restaurant, where I bought Poutine (Fries, Cheese and Gravy), Chicken strips anf a German Chocolate milkshake xD. After that we went back to school and after long waiting we finally had our next game at 9.30. It was a good game and we even won :D After that we were all pretty tired so after a shower (which was ok for a school shower) we all went to bed. I should mention that sleeping in a school might sound cool, but it's so hard! I just had a thin mattress (and an extra one from the gym) but it was still pretty uncomfortable (some people brought huge air mattresses, I was a little bit jealous) so I was not to mad, about our time to get up (7.40). We went eating breakfast at the same restaurant and I ate Bacon,Eggs, Hash browns and French toast and it was really good ^.^ then my teacher and I walked back to school, to look around in town a little bit (bit it wasn't very exiting. Just some stores). Then we walked back to school, and watched the boys games. On the afternoon we finally had our last game. We did really well but in the end, we lost. But it was still a really good game. After that the boys had their last game and it was so exiting in the end. No kidding! They were so close all the time and in the end we won by one! point (one guy from our team had two foul shoots and made them both). Then we had to go back home. This tournament was really fun and the school we stayed in looked so cool. Oh by the way. Because of those stupid rules I sadly had to cut of my lovely bracelet, I wore for 1 1/2 years :/ (it feels very empty on my arm now).
On Sunday we went to church and the truth project and in the afternoon I tried to split wood but failed xD. Now a week is over again and a new one starts today :) Have a good one

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hey guys. First of all happy new year to everyone. My new years eve I spend in the movie theatre and then I went with my family to a new years dance. It was interesting, to see how they celebrate in Canada. Sadly there was no firework :/ On new years I also got my football jacket. And that´s awesome, because it´s a football college jacket. And yeah I rhink that´s just cool :D On January 1st we were invited to a New Years Dinner. Here in Canada it´s typical to have a big meal on that day. So we had ham, meatballs, buns, potatos, ice cream, pie and lots of other food. And it was soo good ^.^ . On January 2nd was my 16th birthday. On this day I skyped with my mum, dad and best friend. From my hostfamily I got a scarf (and it looks like the one from Katniss) , hocolate and a black forest cake. In the evening I´ve been to Youthgroup. So it was not the most exiting birthday, but I mean I´m in Canada, that´s awesome anyway. By the way the snowboard hill here opened so I really hope, we are going there soon. On Saturday I´ve been to a birthdayparty from a friend, who shares the same birthday with me. She had a really big Phillipino 18th birthdayparty. It was really fun. So today is my last day of my two week winter break. I can say it was very interesting holiday, where I experienced canadian christmas and New Years. Today in 6 months I will be back in Germany and I think this thought is really crazy. I really like it here and I will use the next six month as good as possible, to make this year unforgetable. Oh and I forgot to mention that I was in the local newspaper. It was about how christmas is in Germany :)

A very canadian christmas
Hey guys. Merry Christmas everyone and sorry that I'm 363 to early ;) On Monday we've been again to GP, to get some christmas shopping done and I bought me some really nice winterboots there. Our big christmasday was on the 24th (usully it's on the 25th. But because my hostparents are divorced, the kids we're a part if christmas here and the other part there). So we made a big christmas dinner with Turkey, Rotkohl (red cabbage, I made it myself and I'm really proud about that), Klöße (no clue for a english word but my mum send me a mix do I could make them) potatos and gravy. It was really delicous and nearly tasted like home. Speaking of home. On the 24th I also skyped with my parents, even if my parcel haven't arrived yet. In the evening we went to a Nazarene chruch and this was the best christmas mass I've ever been to. In the beginning the christmas story was read and then peoole were talking about it from different point of views (for example Maria, Angel) and between everyone we sang a song. I guess Holy Night is one of my favorites together with Carol of the bells, Angels we have heard on high and God Merry Rest gentlemen. (check out the covers by Pentatonix they are awesome) . After that we went back home and opened presents. I got some winterstuff like socks or gloves and the book Papertowns by John Green. So on the 25th was a normal day. On the 26th we went to a lake really close to us and then there was a bonfire and we played hockey on a lake. Really Canadian :) so my Christmas was different but still a really good one. (and I had snow)
Turkey :D
The beautiful sky

Christmaspartys and Last week of school
On the weekend were two christmasparties. The first one was on Friday from church. We had a potluck (I brought meat balls) and after we all ate way to much, we went boggening at a familys house in town. For a explaination. The guy was sitting on a quad and then there were two sleights on a rope behind it. It was so fun. We also had cookie pie there and the best ice cappuchino in the world (yep I´m starting to like coffee). After that we went back to church and ate more food and played games. We also had a christmas exchange, and I won a sunday kit (a icecream set with chocolate sauce, marshmallow, and lots of toppings.) On Sunday we had a christmasparty from 4H (I don´t know if I talked about that I have my own beef. That´s the club who meets every month to talk about that). So we went skating and then we had lots of pizza and cake too. :3
So let´s come to my last school week this year. In Pop Culture we watched the Voice (aka Realityshow because this is our new topic) and on Thursday and Friday The grinch. In Bandclass we practiced chirstmas songs, so we played Angels we have heard on high, Do you wanna build a snowman and God marry rest ye merry gentlemen on Monday in a oldfolks home, Wednesday in the Elementary school and on Thursday in the Junior High and High school. Even if my arm hurted really bad after all of that it was a lot of fun. ( there will be a video soon, with all the songs, because I recorded them :)
In Math we did (obviously) Math. But now i finally get the topic, I didn´t checked in Germany. In Gym we went the whole week to the swimming pool. And the cool thing is we could do whatever we want. So I spend my time in the hottube, slide or a rope to jump in the water. It was really fun. On Thurday we also had a basketball game. I had after two quarters 4 fouls (you can´t play if you have 5) and believe me I didn´t meant to foul. So in the last two quarters I had to be really careful, how I defend. (and I was always scared when the ref whistled or something that this is my 5th foul), and in the end I didn´t got another foul and we won :D
On Friday was the last day of school and it was just awesome. All classes were just 45 minutes (like in Germany)xD In Pop Culture we watched the grinch and got our candygrams (it´s a little message from friends, who wanna sent it to you with a candy stick on the back). In Band we got popcorn and watched Micky Mouse Christmasstories. In Math we did .... Math and in Gym class we didn´t do anything at all (just shooting around with basketballs). Then was lunch! And guess what we got food for free. And not just anything. We got dumplings, ham, turkey and cookies and cake and really really delicous juice. I mean seriously why don't we have that in Germany?. Then I gave to my best Canadian friends christmas presents and they were just perfect :D. In the afternoon we got freetimeactivities and I decided to make my own christmas stocking. It took me two hours but I´m pretty happy with the result. In the last 10 minutes I was jaming a little bit around with some people. And that was my last day of school. I think it was a really good one. Now we have christmas break and I´m really exited about the Canadian Christmas :)
Oh what I also have to mention. You remember my poinsettia and beef jerkey fund raise? I fundraise so much , that my basketball fee is instead of 500 just 93 dollars . Awesome eh? Most of them I already delivered and tommorow I will do the last ones and I´m really glad that the poinsettias stayed alive till Sunday.
And the last thing . I finnished my christmas shopping this Wednesday and that´s awesome because usully I get it done on the 24th.
