Christmas time :)

Salut mes amis :)
I am soooooo so sorry that I haven't been posting anything since anges, but I do have some excuses :P
So christmas is coming closer and closer and I had soooo much stuff to do, with finding and making presents. It's not easy at all to find presents for people, you only know since 3 months....but I hope I found the right things :)
I also had some really nice weekends with my people from basketball...even though with some sleeping deficits :P 
And of course, since the french is going pretty well by now, I have to make my homework... and also learn for tests and all that stuff, where I really have problems with, because I don't really know in which language. So if you guys have any tips for me, feel free to say them out loud :)
Concerning the weather, it's not at all cool...it's really some kind of april weather, that seriously no one needs! The last two weeks we had fog, fog and guess what...fog! Wednesday was the first time since 2 weeks I could actually see the sky :P  And now, it's just raining, raining and haha...your totally right...raining! Pretty annoying, because since I have 2 weeks of holidays from now, I desperately want to go skiing! 
I am really afraid of christmas here, since they eat already alot every day...I don't really want to imagine how much they eat for christmas...another reason why I really wonna go skiing :P 
One more thing to say, would be that the school trip to Irland is set :)) I am soo happy...and it's even cooler because a friend from a different class is coming with us..so it's going to be pretty awsome :)

Since I had some really nice last days of school with alot of laughing, here are some pictures :))

I hope this time it won't take too long, until the next post :) ...since I do have quite a few plans :)

Losing my english! :(((

Cou cou,
ok, I am totaly shocked! I am about to lose my english! ...but I'll tell you the whole story:
Well, this morning, our bus, because of some reason, didn't come. So we had to take the the bus to the other school in Annemasse. But the thing is, that the school is about a 15min.-walk away from our school and it was -6°C! Freaking cold...happy I survived :P
So this week, I knew that some australian exchange stundents would come to our school, and there is also one living in Reignier, so where I life...and of course she had to take the same bus as we, just that for her it was the first day here and the best example: amazingly hot, you can really sleep in over here and the busses are always on time :PP haha, well since no one talked to her, and I really wanted to, I tried it on french and aksed here where she comes from. Well she didn't understand that. So I tried to ask which city...no chance...finally I talked on english with her. She was really happy about that, but I mixed EVERYTHING! Damn! I really had to think about the sentences...you also have to know, that there are sooo many words which are quite similar on french and english...so I kind of pronounced the french words in english...yes, I was shocked! Now I know: the next two months: gonna pick up some english there, dude :P ...let's see how it's gonna work out with my german after the 10 months...

3 mois :)))

Bon soir,
so as you can read by the headline, with today, it makes exactly 3 months that I am here in france. It is incredible how much I have learned already. Not just my language improved sooo much, but also about people, ways of thinking and operating, with different situations.
I have to say, that I can defend myself against some judgements about my accent or my nationality by now...not that I have any major problems with that, but there are still one to two people, how say things that could hurt others quite alot. There you have to know, that I already know, that the people who say things like this, have now idea what's going on in my mind and my life and I have to say, might also be a little bit jealous. So I don't really care, but there are others, who get really hurt with this.
Another thing to say is, that there are some exchange stundents already leaving now...but I feel like, my life here ist just about to start, and I can understand everything now, but with the speeking, I have still quite alot of problems. So I would be pretty sad, having to leave already...but luckily I have still have 7 awsome moths to go :))

Soirée du Basket et la Neige

Bon soir,
so once again a monday...it'll be often like this now :)
I had just too much to do for school yesterday evening, because we had a test in maths today (well ca va :P) and I had a pretty cool weekend, with not much time for school stuff :))
But let's start with last week...
Well we had quite alot of snow. It was sooo great, even though it didn't rest all day long, but still. The noices the snow makes, while walking to the busstop in the morning...those little drunchy noices...I just love them :)

We also wrote a test in science and I started learning one evening bevor, because I didn't know it, but I thought I got everything pretty well...but no! There was nothing, absolutly nothing asked in the test that I had learnd! Kacka!
Buuuuuuuut, I will hopefully be going on a classtrip. It is sooooo cool, because actually, everyone says that in france it's not so often to be going on a class trip, and I am so lucky to be having the chance...And when I heard this, I thought it couldn't come better, but it's going to Irland, to Dublin :))) It's sooo cool, and I hope reeaaally hope the teacher get's to organize this :))
So now, we can come to my amazing weekend :)) Of course I had basketball training on friday evening, with the lovely girsl :) On saturday, like always, tennis in the morning...but that is soooo cold. They don't have a gym, so we play outside, with -2°C it's already unbelievable cold...but imagine, I will be playing with up to -20°C!!! Don't know how I am gonna survive that, because if I wear too much, I will not be able to move...
Anyways, in the afternoon we got some skistuff for everyone, because it's gonna start soon :))
And in the evening we went to the Soirée du Basket. We ate fondu and I really enjoyed being there with all these incredible nice people. They were really all sooo nice, and I love people who don't have any prejudices...they are all like a big family...really nice to see this :))
After that, I slept at Johannas, because my hostparents went earlier than me, but I really wanted to stay :))
With this evening, I noticed again how much I understand now. I talked about alot of stuff with Johanna and I could really understand every single word she said... it makes me feel really comfortable :)

Let's see what the next week brings me :))

Amazing Sunsets :)

Bonjour tout le monde,
since I don't have anything else to do, I thought I'd write my Sunday-Post a bit earlier today. I have not been up to much. This week was a bit wired, and I was really tired and confused. But let's start from the beginning...
Since we had no school on monday, the whole week was already mixed up and acutally shorter than normal, but it seemed really long. On wednesday, where I normally only have until 11:40 o'clock, I had undtil 16:30pm. This had something to do with our holidays. So we had the thursday morning classes also wednesday afternoon. French system :P
And in cause of this, the gymansium, where we normally have basketballtraining wednesday evening, wasn't open. So we had this training tuesday evening, with the guys...was pretty fun, even though I hate sweating in front of the other sex :P ...but this was also a thing that got me confused.
In math, I don't get anything at the moment...the teacher is really mean to the ES people...she let's out steps, so I can't understand it....and yes...not cool.
The weather is getting really cold here, and I bought my suuuuper cool new skiclothings :)) they are just awsome, I love them. So the skiing-season can come, then you will also get to see some photos.
I really hope to be able to do something nice the next few weekends, and not just being at home...

So now I just have some pretty photos for you, that I took last week, because the sunsets were really nice :)

I find, that they look as if they are burning...and they are not edited :P
