deux mois :)

Bonsoir,

oh oh 2 months already! 2 months in france! 2 months twentyfour-seven french!
I don't really know what to say...
I have to tell you guys that 2 months sound, well they actually sound pretty 2 monthish.
You know it feels like I am already here such a long time...sometimes psotive and sometimes negative. It feels like I know alot of people, but not close, so not peolpe I would like ask if they wanted to do something with me. I have found really nice friends, and in general, they are all sooo nice to me...but I sometimes have the feeling that they are only nice to me because they are afraid of hurting me, in a way.
You know in these two months I have already learned quite a few things. About people, about life and also about my family.
First I have to say, that the last two months again prooved to me, that being mobbed, has abolutely nothing to do with where you come from. I come from germany, I have lived one and a half in australia and now I live for nearly one year in france and I have changed school many times, but I have never, never ever been mobbed or I have never been unexcepted. In australia, as well as here in france, I could hardly speak a word in the language of the country, when I first came there, but I could make myself friends. All this prooves to me, that it's not about where you come from, it's about who you are and how you present yourself. This does not include clothing and stuff like this, I have my own style, but it includes you charakter. Of course you are beeing judged by how you look and what you wear..which is also a thing that I learned here. But you can always compensate your looking with your charakter!
The second thing I have to honor, is the work that my parents have done. All the things that they tought me and how they raised me up is unpayable. I have already learned soo much about life through them and I have to say that my life is great, but only because of my parents. I cannot explaine how I learned this here, but since I live in a different family now, it just opened my eyes even wider and just made me notice that there is no single word to express how much I honor and love my parents and as well as how much I want to thank them.
I am happy with my family here, some things just make realize how much luck I have :)

And the last thing is that I am really sorry, but I have some problems with uploading the video. I will try it out another day :) so here just a little photo of my friends :))

A bientôt

Chamonix

Cou cou,
I am so sorry guys, but I forgot to write my sunday post again... so it's turned into a monday-post :P

Okay, where to start?!
First of all the, the first week of the holidays is already over and I haven't really done anything...I have to say it was pretty boring and I was at home and did DIYs and stuff like that...it was a bit annoying. You have to know that in this little village I have like 2 friends and it's really hard to get them to do something with you, because I have this feeling that the french teenagers really use their holidays for doing nothing...and I mean really nothing!
So the only thing I did was meeting up with the other exchange stundents from my region in Annecy, as I already told you :) We had really nice weather that day (Tuesday). We were about 5 so not much, and we talked about the last 1 and a half months and how we are like getting along with the language, the people, the schoolsystem and the families :)) There was also one guy, who is already 8 months here and he will be leaving soon, he comes from Australia and he could like say EVERYTHING in french...so that got me a little motivation :))
So as I was pretty bored the whole week, I got of course again pretty creative and I found out that my hostmum has a sewing machine...pretty cool, because like this it's faster and more fun :))
The weather has been pretty unsettled...one day rain, next day sun and 25°C...
But on saturday we went to Chamonix. This is the small (well bigger than Reignier) Village on the foot of the Mont Blanc. We had awsome weather and so I could take some really nice Photos :)

The colours of the trees are just fabulous :)

So tonight I will sleep at a friends house...to be creative ones more :P

And I hope to be posting the video tomorrow :*

A demain

Finally Holidays :P

Salut,
I am sorry that I didn't write my usual sunday-post yesterday...but I was a little demotivated and didn't really have time...
So yes, the holidays have finally arrived and I must say, I reeeeaaally needed them. I was soo tired the last few days of school and I am also a bit sick :((
But yes, the last to days of school where still really nice though... I took my camera to school to make some photos of my friends and the school. But do not wonder why I'm not posting them today, I'll do a little video and that will take a little more time ;)

So yesterday was again pretty nice because the whole family was here again and we celebrated all the birhtdays: Damiens, Laurences and Didiers...and to my surprise mine already :PP I know, I know celebrating in advance brings bad luck and all, but I found it kind of really cute because like that the whole family was there and I got some little presents and a reeeeaaaally awsome cake...the only time I had a cake cooler than that, was when I was really small and it was a barbie-cake :))

So the plan for tomorrow is having lunch at the house of teh sister of Laurence and afterwards visiting the beautiful Annecy and meeting up with a few exchange students in my region :))

A bientôt,

First snowball fight :P

Salut,
as you know, I have to take the bus nearly every morning and every afternoon, well actually evening... and since there is only one bus every morning and every evening, you kind of have no other chance to come to school or to come home...
And yes of course the day had to come that I miss the bus... gladly I missed it in the evening and not in the morning because not going to school at all makes everything way more complicated than having to call my hostparents to say that I was too stupid to hear the schoolbell ring...I was sooo sorry so I think, well I hope this is NEVER gonna happen again :P

Yesterday I had alot of fun with Julie in the evening, because she was going to go to a 20th birhtday with the motto Zombie or Unicorn and she asked me to help her make a costume for a zombie....and I looove doing this like this so we made, with the sources that where given (not much), a pretty good zombie out of her :P 

Haha yeeees my first snowball fight for this winter :) You might be wondering how is it possible that we already have snow?! I have to say that since I live in the mountains it doesn't take long to be over 1000meter and this is the hight where the snow begins...it's around an hour away to drive and I think that is not too far. I got to see where we will be skiing in winter every saturday or sunday and also where we will be skiing for one week :)
Although the weather is really not nice at the moment, which I think is normal fpr autum, I got some really nice photos :)

 

 

So now there is only ONE MORE WEEK to go and then off on vacasion :P

Bisous

Le permier spectacle

Bon soir,
so I am getting a little depressed over here now...because of all these tests we write at the moment, I am really stressed and soo tired all the time. But it's not just that, you kind of always realize how less frenchknowlegde you actually have when you sit in one of these tests for 2 hours and don't know anything. Like really NOTHING.
I know, I know...don't make yourself too much pressure, remeber it's not important for you...the language matters and you are there to learn it, it doesn't come from one day to another...bla bla...it's still not very motivating...
Today was the first time here, that I actually sat in the geography test and knew what I had to do and used the complete 2 hours...but of course on my sheet of paper was way less wirtten than on the others sheets :P ...but I think today got me some (!!!) motivation :)

 We also had the first spektakle yesterday evening at Chateau rouge. I don't really know what to say about it..it was...different. It was an old (72 years) woman which danced a bit weird...kind of an expressive dance...I don't know :P The music was sometimes good and the things she did were sometimes quite cool...but never really both things at the same time. So all in all, I would say it's not a thing you have to have watched in your life...but something I quite enjoyed :)

 Bonne soirée

Some knews :)

Salut,
today I will be telling you some knew things I found out, that I will be doing here :)
So the first thing is, that I will be playing basketball. I have a friend here and the mother sometimes drives me to school in the mornings and so we talked about hobbys and all that stuff. And then she said that Johanna (the girl) played tennis for a long time, but didn't really enjoy it anymore, so she started with basketball...and so I was like: Oh my god, it was exact the same situation with me.
So yeah this is how things got moved and she said that the team was looking for knew players and yes, now I will be practicing basketball 2 times a week, wednesday and friday :)
The second thing is, that it's for sure now, that they go skiing like nearly every weekend during the winter and now this is like the only thing I want: SNOW...as fast as possible. I will also be trying out Snowboard again...only for Paul :*
The third thing is, that they asked me if I wonna like go out in the evenings some time...and of course I said yes, what else :P they call it here soirées ;) (I hope I wrote it right :P )
The last thing is that we have only 2 more weeks of school and then we will be off to HOLIDAYS :)))
Oh yes, and the homework here is getting more and more...I'm a bit overstrained :P


xoxo, Klara
PS: I made some nutella cookies for my hostfamily, I think they liked them pretty much :P
