Midterms

After about 2 month we have to take a test about all we've done till this time which is called midterm. The tests are on 2 days. First and second period was on Thursday and third and fourth period was on Friday. You don't have a midterm in every class... For example in Dance I didn't have a real midterm... She put our performance grade in for our midterm... And in Orchestra we hadn't a midterm either. I had two midterms(one in art and one in algebra). They were both multiple choice and easy. They are about 15% of our first quarter grade... I hope I did well but it doesn't really matter cause I wouldn't fail any of my classes when I would have failed my midterm... And on Friday I came to school at 9:45am cause we only had 3rd&4th period and our orchestra teacher told us we don't have to come to her class:) So I had hot chocolate and a cranberry thing from Starbucks for breakfast:D I loved it! 

BATTLE OF THE AXE!

The whole school was decorated with things like that:) It was really awesome! The walls of the cafeteria hallway were black and everywhere was written something against farmers or cheer stuff:D 

We won and keep the axe for another year:) A big surprise!

IPhone-story

Once during art class someone stole someone elses iPhone and first no-one knew who has this iPhone. By the way it was an iPhone five! A week later a police man came in during class and took a boy away. I hadn't seen it, but the girl next to me told me later. It was the boy who stole the iPhone. I guess they found him because of the tracking sensor in all new iPhone 5. So never steel an iPhone:D I was very mad I haven't seen the police man coming in:( I wish I wasn't as focused on my vase! I am not sure what happen to the boy... A girl told me he is probably not allowed to go to school for 1-2 weeks (many people probably wonder why he don't have to go to school for some days. You would probably like to have "holidays":D) and community service(Sozialstunden). And I have to tell you I was shocked when I first heard about the stolen iPhone 5... 

Texas road house

I love Texas road house! I went there twice and it was soo good! Die Brötchen mit soner mega leckeren Kreme, der Salat und die Steaks*__*! also wenn ihr jemals nach Texas fliegen/fahren solltet: Geht im Texas road house essen! 

Dance #2: After Party

Last weekend was another "dance" from church which theme was "after party". It was with some other groups together, pretty good and a lot of fun. The music was like it would have been in Germany:D It was very good and I knew more people than last time:)

Plant sale

We have several fundraisings for orchestra. We sell plants, pecans, butter braid and have already sold donuts. One Saturday I helped at the plant sale. It was ok. Most time we hadn't any costumers and so I watered plants from time to time. Our job was pretty easy. We only had to take the plants to the customer's car and write down what they sold:) In Germany we would never sell plants on grass in front of a school:D
The second time I was there it was sooooo boring! During the last hour we had zero costumers and no-one was there I really talk to... At the beginning it was fun because we were eight people and watched the band practicing. And when I can tell you one thing: When you wanna do an exchange year in the US... Don't play in band! When you play in band you have no free time. Band during school, band after school, band on saturdays! So that would be the last thing I would do! Orchestra is only during school and sometimes when we have a fundraising, but you don't have to come to every fundraising!:) 

Football games

I already went to two football games. We lost both very high! At the first one it was very cold! I went with many people who had never seen a high school football game before(and they are Americans!), so we tried to understand the rules. Football games are ok but not my favorite. Soccer games are so much better! In football games there are so many short breaks and you are sometimes not able to see the ball. But it is really fun when someone grabs the ball and run to score point and everyone cheers:D I was shocked when I realized that there is a boy playing with a broken arm!:O That is really stupid! 
During football games you can talk a lot and have a lot of fun. They are usually 2 1/2 to 3 hours. So really long! So but I met a lot of people who didn't to go to football games. With one girl I plan to go to a soccer game and I found out that our basketball team was very good the last two years: State Champions! Two times! That's really awesome!!!:D And I guess our band is the best in Texas too:)
