10???!!!!

I still am going to go into shock no matter how many times I write or say this: My little brother is going to be ten on Sunday!!!! I wish that it were not so! He seems to be growing up so fast but there is nothing I can do about that, now is there. One extremely dissagreable fact about his turning ten is tat he wil most likely be even more annoying!! Yes, I know, it could seem impossible but, if you have ever met my little brother you would know this fact to be true! Now let's see, for news this week i will say that my crew's production of PHAT Girls went quite well even though last Saturday I cut myself on the knuckle with a saw! It was really stupid. I was cutting a piece of wood and all of a sudden the saw slipped and cut my knuckle, deep enough for me to even see the tissue under my skin! It was terribly gross and horrifying! I felt like I was about to pass out from the blood loss (which was in no way, shape or form significant) or I would pass out from the sheer fact of seeing my tissue!!! Well TTFN!!!!

Night Owl...

Well, okay not exactly a night owl but, for me at least, this is late, especially when i have to get up early to go to Maryland in the morning!!! I think I will be able to get up though. Alright so an update probably would be a good idea...let's see, so basically I am doing fabulous in school, so far I have three A+'s and one A!!! I am pretty happy about that!!! The school play is coming along nicly and we will be competing next week which is kind of frighting being so soon, I suppose I'll have to get over it though! That about sums it up for what I have to say...I hope everyone has a great weekend and has a nice evening!!!

Umm....

Well....Not really much going on over here...School pretty much sucks...Like always...I miss Germany a lot and I miss all my German friends...School is a bit more difficult and everyone is always sooo hyped about the football games...I don't really get it and my school is so big!!!! I feel so small and puny!!! I am in the school play though. It is called "PHAT Girls" and all about eating disorders. Since it is so late I will cut it short by saying "Good-Night!!!"

USA!!!

Well I am finally here after years of anticipation and waiting I am here in the good ol' US of A!!!! And just in time too 'cause school starts next week!!!! I am excited and worried, it will be different then every thing I have done before...to have only 4 blocks of subjects a day is very different...The dog and cats seem to be settling in to the new place quite well and I envy them for it, the jet lag is not something you get used to very quickly...That is pretty much all the news...Till next time!!

Rain, rain go away!

It is the most horrible thing on earth to have thunderstorms in May!!! It has been raining with very little pause since the beginning of May and I was hoping for better weather on my fathers birthday and now it is overcast and I have a slight cold...Well the date of our flight back to America is set, August 31st and we are taking our pets too. I am very excited to see my family and friends again! Well that is all for now! Happy birthday Dad!!!

German haiku's and poems

Versteckt
Sommer bleibt versteckt
Frühling ist grade ums Eck
Die Sonne ist wieder da.

English translation (roughly):
Hidden
Summer is hidden
Spring is around the corner
The sun is back now.

That was the haiku, now for the poem:

Die Vögel

Das Leben ist schwer und düster
Wir warten alle gespannt
Auf die Sonne, sie soll uns befreien
Von den Land, da wo wir waren verbannt
Die Vögel werden sich vereinen
Von der Süden hierher zu uns fliegen
Und dann werden sie für uns singen
Sie werden singen bis die Wolken vertrieben sind
Sie werden singen bis das Regen hält
Und dann werden sie fliegen bis ans Ende der Welt
Und sie werden singen bis ans Ende auch
Sie werden uns fröhlich machen
Und unser Trauer wird verschwinden wie Rauch

English translation, rough (which means it most likely won't all rhyme):
The Birds
Life is hard and dreary
We are all waiting anxiously
For the sun, he shall free us
From the land in which we were banished
The birds shall all get together
And from the south fly to us
And then they shall sing for us
They shall sing till the clouds are gone
They shall sing till the rain stops
And then they shall fly to the end of the world
And they shall sing till the end too
They will make us happy
And our sadness shall dissapate like smoke.

Sweets and Treats!!

The perfect recipe for a lazy day:

First you need your essentials,

then you can make cool and fun as well as edible creations...

Life...

Life is cool, life is sweet
Life is sometimes quite elite.
Life has trials, life has sorrows
For some, life has no tomorrow.
Life has sadness, life has joy,
Life has madness and is sometimes coy.
Life lives on, it never dies
Life never passes someone by.
We love our lives and hold them dear
For dying is our greatest fear.
