1st American Halloween



1ST AMERICAN HALLOWEEN


My first American Halloween started way earlier than the 31 October. It's tradition that most of the families decorate their houses. So we decorated our house maybe one week before Halloween and I started to fall in love with Halloween decorations and all that creepy stuff:) It's so pretty to walk along the street or if you drive pass all these little American houses and you see a bunch of cute decorations and pumpkins all over the places. To be honest I wasn't a big fan of Halloween before but now I definitely am! It's just because everybody is in that Halloween-Vibe:) When it gets darker the fairy lights are on and it's sooooo pretty!!! The weekend before Halloween two of my friends and I went to a big farm near our town and on this farm they had one of the Halloween attractions. It's called "Terror in the Corn". Basically you walk through a cornfield and there are people who are dressed up as creepy people or clowns, dolls or murderers and scare you. It was so much fun and it was great because there wasn't just a cornfield. There was also a "motel" where you went in and people scared you and when you came out again you were in a settlement and you walked pass these creepy little cabins and creatures or a man with a chainsaw scared you or screamed at you. 
It was such an American experience and I probably never going to forget that again!

On Tuesday 31 October I came home from school and we carved pumpkins. I've never done that before and it was so much fun. I carved two pumpkins and it made everything better. I was so excited for Halloween evening! On the evening itself I went to Hannahs and actually we wanted to watch horror movies but in the end we just chilled. The door bell rang and we gave out candy to these cute dressed up kids and the cute "trick or treat". It was so cute that we decided to give out candy for the rest of the evening and I was so happy. We had a great evening even if I didn't dress up myself it felt like real Halloween for the first time in my life.

The day after Halloween Hannahs host mom drove us to a Halloween store. It sound weird but everything was 50% off and that was pretty cool. I've never been to a Halloween store before but it's just so cool to know that in America you really have stores just for that event and if you believe me or not you find everything there!! I got some things that I take home to take some of this great tradition home. I'm already looking forward to scare my family back home!

Don't give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half. Make good use of your time, it flies fast. wow tomorrow is the day! already five months down! time flies over here and I wish you all a happy new year! I had a great start in 20I8 and I already experienced a bunch of things in only a week:) School started today and I have some new classes, I dropped soccer again and spent a lot of time with my family and my friends. So I want to tell you guys about my fifth month: This was probably one of the best months so far because it was the months of Christmas lights, tea and spending time with your host family. The end of the first semester in High School and thus my first finals ever in my life:) I spent much more time with my friends and we went to the mall, to dinner, to Denver and much more. It was the months of baking cookies, going ice-skating and appreciating and looking back to an amazing 20I7, celebrating New Years eve and go snowboarding in the great huge Roc

Hi guys, I know I'm almost two months (i already wrote this but never uploaded it until now..) too late but my days are just really busy here and that's the reason for not uploading this post ealier! Wow it's crazy how the time flies for me. Seven months here and that means I'm in the very last two months soon. It was a really normal months so there isn't a lot to tell you but let's see what I can find:) We had a four days weekend and I was at my friends home for the whole weekend, because my host-family went cross-country skiing and I'm not very into it, so we decided I will stay in Louisville. It was an amazing weekend, we went to some stores and got a lot of material to start our book about the exchange year! We printed pictures at Target, ate at Panera Bread, got a ton of stickers (we definitely felt like four year olds) and for dinner we ate in a restaurant and got burgers. It was a lot of fun.  On February 23rd during my US History class I got a m

soon three months down

soon three months down six days until I'm here for three months. I think the time passed pretty quickly and I didn't have one day where I thought about how slowly everything goes. Three months full of new impressions and a new culture, new people, new family and new school. Of course there are days where I would love to go back but than I just think about that this time here is never going to come back and that I have to enjoy as much as possible and thanks Colorado for being such a beautiful place to stay! My host family is still awesome and even if the puppy is a crazy puppy I love her! The first semester of school is almost done just six weeks left...it feels like the time flies away. It's already November and the days are getting colder and shorter.  I got a ski-pass for a huge part of the near Rocky Mountains and so I'm really excited to snowboard soon. I just rent my snowboard, boots and helmet. It already snowed three times but just for one day and then
