So hi everyone. It's a Thursday night here in Swissyland and it's currently 0˚. Zoe and I just went to play tennis and it was freezing! We were wearing gloves but our fingertips felt like they were going to drop off. Just so you know, I won, 6-3, and as you can see we thought it was too cold to play another set.
So today was pretty boring. I had double maths in the morning which was a pain in the butt but I knew the stuff we were doing so it was easy. Then I had German with the girls and Herr Dahinden seemed more annoying than usual. We played a game with mandarins as the prize. I won 5 mandarins but as I'm a little scared of the peels I gave them to Alex. After lunch it was back to German D: then Science. Grr, I hate it. We have another test next week. Our teacher gives us waaaay too many tests! I'm probably going to fail. Oh well, I guess I won't know until I do it. Should be fun. Ok, bye everyone. Have a nice day/night. love from me xx

Just a Blab
This is just a rant about anything that comes to my brain.
Ok, firstly I had a maths test today. I totally failed. I know what you're thinking. "She probably just thinks she failed, like you do, but she actually aced it". I'm assuring you that's not the case. There were worded questions and I couldn't understand them. I didn't even know we had a test. Shows how much people want to help me. Eh, probably wouldn't have done much anyway.
Then after lunch I had English. Which, usually, are the most boringest two lessons of the week. But today it wasn't so boring, but not for a good reason. My class are giving talks on English speaking countries in English so my teacher decides it's an excellent idea for me to do it in German. I'm really worried but I'll deal with it.
The last lesson of the day was PE. We did a bit of running at the start which was ok, then we played a game. It was with two teams and each team has a side. You have to chuck the ball at people and if it hits them they go out and one person goes in from your team. It's ok, and we played that for the whole lesson. So PE was survivable.
I've been thinking about coming home lately, as there's only 7 weeks to go. I've been thinking of all the things that are going to be hard and the things that I think I will struggle with. The obvious thing is school. I actually received mail today from my assistant principal containing my booklist and some work I have to complete for my VCE Literature course. I am kind of stressing about that, and maths. They're my main two worries school wise. One of my other worries is my weight. I've actually gained a few kilos while I've been here, I'm hoping once I get back in my usual routine in Australia it'll go down a bit but who knows. I just worry about that.
Currently I'm practicing my touch typing that I learn at school. It's a weird lesson but I always get full marks. It's hard but I'm getting there.
Ok bye purple people eaters.

Cemi <3
Just as a little extra, I thought I'd throw in Cemi's version of Cry by Rihanna.
She sings really well. Hope you like it.
She sings really well. Hope you like it.
Thursday Night
Yo everyone.
It's Thursday night and I'm beyond bored so I just thought I'd write a little something into my blog.
"And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing,
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything,
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday."
-- Everything, Michael Bublé
I'm just going to randomly add those in. Just of songs I love. Anyway, today was ok. I had double maths first which is a real pain in the backside. I hate it but I get through it. Then I came home for a bit, but not long as I had to go back for German. It was ok, we played a mini game which made things go a bit faster. After lunch I had another lesson of German which was ok. My teacher just told me to write a paragraph on my favourite author, Stephenie Meyer. I survived that pretty well.
"It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing"
-- When You Don't Say a Thing, Ronan Keating
After German it was on to Science. Todays Science went pretty fast comared to usual standards. I just copied some things onto my worksheets and sat there staring aimlessly at the opposite wall. Oh, and Cemi and I had to solve a question together and we got it right. Not that I really did any of the work but oh well. Lol.
"Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away"
-- Don't Look Back in Anger, Oasis
Ok, I'm going to go now. Everyone have a good night/day.
Ps. Lol Sandy. <3

Good Old Hamlet
Hey everyone. Just thought I'd write again, catch up on some news. The Singleton's left on Tuesday morning to go up to Glesson, so it's just been us again in the house. I had a day off today. Didn't really do much. Went for a bike ride while Dad ran and went shopping. I also called one of my bestest friends, Nat. She had some news she wanted me to post on a blog. Sandy, aka Hamlet, locked herself in the toilet at work experience. Which for her just happened to be the police station. Four policemen, I repeat, four policemen had to come and "rescue" her from the toilet. Just thought everyone should know that because it's hilarious and Sandy's funny. =] Anyway, in other news I have double maths tomorrow which is going to suck! I hate double maths, it's unbelievably boring and I don't really understand much of what's going on. I just can't wait for the weekend. I have to clean the window shutters and do some normal house work, but it will still be better than school. Oh the boringness of it.
Ok, bye bye for now.

Had a Nice Trip
Hey peoples,
Today is always the worst day of the week and today definitely lived up to that quota. First, I had a 7.15am start which are always painful, especially on Mondays. I had double Handicraft and I'm currently making a scarf. It's all different shades of purple and it's pretty. I can't actually knit so I making it with a different method. I have no idea what it's called. Then I got to come home for a lesson and then I took Hann and Kiti into school for the break. Everyone thought they were pretty cute and they thought Matt was a bit strange. Lol. Then I had German and that was extremely boring, I just translated some words for our private German class. Then Maths. I hate it. I have no idea what I'm doing. But it doesn't bother me.
Then it was lunch time where I did normal lunch time stuff. Went on the computer, ate, read, etc. Then it was back to school for double English! It's the most boringest 2 lessons ever! I ended up translating again! Then it was History. Also mind numbingly boring. I also did translating in that. :( Then last was PE. First we played Basketball which I'm ok at, but the only problem is I fell over. It was quite funny but I hurt my tooshy. Then we played soccer which I suck at. I had a little accident in that too. I tripped Cemi over and fell over myself on the way. I'm such a klutz. Anyway. Pretty annoying day. I hope everyone else's was better.

Down in the Dumps
Hey everyone. I have no idea why, but I'm feeling a little down. I think it might be due to the fact that I'm leaving soon. Yeah, I've had a bad year but I've met some awesome people and it's making me sad to think I'll probably never see any of them again. It's not likely that they'll travel to Australia any time soon and I think it'll be a while before I come back. It's just making me a little sad. Ok, I think I'm going to go.

Too Much Cadbury
So Katrina, Charles, Matthew, Hannah and Kiti all arrived yesterday from Australia. It's been awesome to catch up again, even if there's one change I'm not so happy about. Matt is taller than me!! How can this happen?! Lol, it's just no good, I'm the older one, I'm supposed to be the taller one! Oh well, I guess I'll live.
They brought over some Cadbury chocolate and Zoe, Alex, Mum and I ate it all last night, we have none left now! The Singleton kids just laughed at us. We even thought it was quite funny and we tried to do it inconspicuously. It didn't really work, but we gave it a go. :D
Tonight we watched an episode of Lano & Woodley, so funny! "Love. Love each other? We want to destroy each other!!" Man, I love that!! At the moment Kiti and Hann are sleeping in my room and Matt's in Alex's and Zoe's room. Last night, Kiti and Hann woke up at about 4am and that blow up bed is so loud! Then, Kiti was asking me questions because she couldn't get back to sleep, I just ended up saying that I had school the next morning. It was pretty funny though.
Actually, I like waking up in the middle of the night and knowing that i have about 4 or 5 hours to sleep. It doesn't happen very often but I tend to like it. I hate waking up at about 6am or so, then I only have 1/2 - 1 hour left. That tends to happen quite a bit.
I'm really enjoying having the Singletons here, I hope we'll have heaps of fun from here on out.

The Giant L
Hi everyone. I'm just really bored so I thought I'd write a little entry to my blog.
Nothing much has been going on here lately, but it's a day off for Dagmersellen school students today. The girls are out with friends, both shopping I think, and I'm just hanging around the house with a giant L on my forehead.
The Singletons are coming on Wednesday which is really awesome, I'm looking forward to it so much. I've missed them so much this year and it's going to be great to see them. We're also doing a Kris Kringle with the kids which should be interesting, I'm still trying to figure out what to make for mine.
I can't believe Christmas is this close! Only 6 and a half weeks away. It's going to be so fun and then we get to come home! That is going to be awesome. I seriously can't wait.
Ok, that's it from me for now. Cya dudes.

Tie Lace
Stupid Myspace is being dumb and not letting me log in! I want to kill it! Of course, the one time I really really want it it stuffs up! Well, I'd probably say that any day but still, it's what you say when these things happen.
So I had a Geography test today, I most likely failed but it doen't bother me too much. It was about America and their countries and things they import and export. Pretty boring stuff. I didn't understand some of the questions but oh well.
I have to go back to school after lunch for PE and Info Tech which I really can't be bothered to do. Anyway. I'm going now. Cyas all. Madxx

La Mejor Noche
Hey People,
I'm here to tell you about the awesome night I had last night. The day was just average, hanging around home, watching Greys Anatomy, the usual. But the night was extraordinary.
We have the other Komp's with us but they're leaving today so last night was our last night together. So, of course, we did something special. We decided to go to the Kegal Bahn which is a bit like 10 pin bowling but different and it has 9 pins. We had Alex's friend Moni join us and we had a really great time. Dad won! I didn't really score very high but that didn't bother me. After the bowling Sam, Mitch, Zo, Alex, Moni and I went to the little mini playground near by and ran on a spinny wheel. I grazed my leg but it was still awesome fun.
On the walk home, Mitch, Soo, Zo and I were together. We had alot of fun dancing and Soo taught us some Scottish dancing. Zoe and I were puffed out by the end but we had so much fun! At the end Zo slipped on some snow which, for Soo, Mitch and I, was hilarious. I think even Zoe was cracking herself.
When we arrived home, Mum put on a CD and the first song that came on was 'Another One Rides the Bus' and Zo and I went off our nut dancing and singing. We were so so tired at the end but it was totally worth it. :D
For dinner we had Raclette which is a cheese and potato meal where each cooks their own food. It's a really social meal and it was really good. A little while after everyone except Sam, who went to bed, sat down a played a good game of 31. It was down to Dad and Soo in the end as it was the last time and once again, Soo had the winning card. After that game Alex, Zo and Mitch went to bed and Soo, Andrew, Dad, Mum and I played another game of 31. This time Mum had the glory. I stayed up a while, talking, watching Carl Baron and laughing until my tummy hurt. It was a great end to the night.
I had heaps of fun and I'm going to miss the Komp's very much.
