Goodbyes

Today I said goodbye to Aaron...

It was bittersweet because he is too busy to say goodbye tomorrow so we had to get together tonight to say goodbye.
I went over to Meghan and he came over after a while. We didn't really do much at the house the three of us. We decided to take a walk and we ended up playing around with the sprinklers in the park in our neighborhood. After that we walked around and talked a lot. I'm saying goodbye to Meghan tomorrow so I didn't tell her goodbye yet.
Aaron was a really good friend. Even though he was busy many times he is one of the reasons that my year here was as amazing as it was. I'm definitely going to miss him. Without doubt. He'll be one of the first people to visit when I come back someday.

So yeah. It was nice to say goodbye to him and get a hug instead of texting him. I'm happy that I got to see him one last time.

*blows kiss* 
Zài jiàn!

Packing mah stuff!

So today I packed 1½ bags of my stuff. I'm going to bring 3 bags to the airport, which is 1 more than when I came here. I'm actually kind of scared because Cathy tells me that I might have to bring a fourth...

But yeah. My room is pretty empty and my closet only contains clothes for the rest of the 4-5 days I'll be here. I can't believe that it's almost over. It seems like just a couple months ago that I came here!

So yeah, I can't wait to get home! Meet my new family and stuff is going to be fun! Catching up, because I'm sure that there is more than just my adventures to share!

I'm also uploading some more prom pictures for you! As I promised ;)
I don't think you need my explanation to know that it is a group picture and a couple picture!

But that was it! Hope you enjoyed!

Zài jiàn!

Last day of school!

Yesterday was the last day of school! I realized that I actually only had 2 written finals out of the 6 subjects I have in school. I only took the History and Math tests. So I am toooootally fine with that! last day of school I helped miss Meyer clean up her room. Actually clear out her room is a better word to use. It was her last day of school since she is resigning.

 I gave a Ms. Nelson one of my paintings, you can read more about it at "mine værker".

So Friday I didn't do much. Aaron and Meghan came and we hung out for about 2 hours or so. Tomorrow we are going to take out the boat again, so that should be fun :)

I will probably not have time this weekend, but I will probably be up early this next week, so that might be an opportunity to skype me? No? Just message me and we'll see if I have time!

*blows kiss*
Zài jiàn!

Award

So today I took 3 of my 5 finals. I think it went well. Though I didn't answer about four or five questions in the us. history final I am still proud because I knew many of the others. Study/cramming before a test actually works! I could actually answer stuff about WW2 and the presidents! :O

And so I went to the office today to get my honor roll award that I was telling you about. I'm gonna get it signed tomorrow and then it's official!

So there has been a lot of bipolar weather recently, I wonder what I should wear tomorrow for school...

*blows kiss*
Zài jiàn!

Day before finals!

So today was really nice. It was really relaxed and nothing much was going on but reviewing stuff for finals. Expect of course my art classes (there is not much to review) so the 3 classes I had art in + my lunch break was dedicated to being outside (in 30-35 Celsius!) eating and hanging out.

There was a LOT of food! So much that not everything was eaten. Ms. Meyer (who was in charge of this outside BBQ arrangement) made crepes and they were awesome. By the time my first class was over I was full! I also had to be there 2 other classes and lunch! Needles to say I am stuffed. I probably won't be needing dinner!

Aaron was so nice to stay at school today for me! He had to go to school anyway for some graduation stuff, and even though he was tired he still stayed :) You can see him resting on my legs in the picture above. Many of the students were lazy in the heat. It was nice by the first part of the day, but after 2pm it was starting to become a little unbearable... 

So yeah. Lunch was the "go-away" party for the exchange students at the school. It was arranged in honor for us and to say goodbye, even though we are still taking the finals. It was nice to be together with friends and just hang out. 

So I think I'm gonna end it here now. You can always ask me later! There is less than 2 weeks till I'll be home!

By the way, I found more pictures of myself from prom. Me and Aaron and some pictures of the group I went with. Maybe I'll post a picture or two later ;)

*blows kiss*

Zài jiàn!

Awards! And random talking!

Trust me. This is more awkward for me than for you...

*blows kiss*

Zài jiàn!

Academy Awards

So tomorrow (or today for you, since you'll be reading this a day later?) there is Academy Awards at the school, and the whole school is going to be there!
But not everyone got nice invitations in the mail like the one I showed you last time, and it means something special. An invitation in the form of a letter means that...
You will be receiving an award.
Yup. I will on May 16th be receiving an Academy Award! Though I don't know what award yet I know that I'll get one.

So that was just my little surprise for y'all! Nothing much going on aside from aaaaall my finals slowly creeping up on me. Wish me luck!

*blows kiss*
Zài jiàn!

Partaaay!

Not maybe the party you think, but Cathy is having a jewelry party where you can buy jewelry (surprise!).
There's  a bunch of people coming over, I know a few of them so it should be really nice :)

Today I had my 3 hours worth of practice. 1 hour kickboxing and 2 hours of karate! It was hard, especially because I didn't really eat a good breakfast.

We had election week! That means a bunch of free stuff, like candy, cookies and icicles! But I only accepted stuff from the girl I was going to vote on ^^ It looks like it will be her and another boy that is most competition with. I honestly don't know which one is going to win...

Oh well, something exciting should happen next week, so be sure to stay tuned for that :D

Just updating

I can't believe that there is so little time left!!!!

I'm baking cupcakes right now for my LAST BAKESALE at the school! I'm working on my FINAL projects. Finals are soon and everything is just coming to an end! The only good thing about all of this is the cupcakes I'm baking and that I'm going to see all my friends and family soon.
(cupcakes just got done, they look awesome btw)

I'm invited to a sleepover on the 19th and there might be a movie included so I'm excited about that :) It's with one of my friends Autumn and then the other 3 exchange students from Germany; Clara, Sophie and Michelle :) I'm really looking forward to it!

It's also president week at school so on Friday we will vote for a new Student council president, I know who I'm voting for and I really hope she wins because she deserves it!!!

Well, I can't neglect my cupcakes so I will say goodbye now.

*blows kiss*
Zài jiàn!

1 Month left!

People! I've just come to realize that I have 1 month left in Colorado! As much as I would like to stay I have realized that I miss you guys! :O
Ok, maybe I havn't just realized that, but the point I'm trying to make is that I miss you!

This weekend I was up in the mountains in a town called Estes Park. It was really fun and I did a loooot of shopping. Unfortunately my camera died on me, so I have no cool pictures to show :( I took some pictures with Cathy's camera, but it'll probably take some time to transfer them :/
I do have some good news though! Not really news though, more like a surprise?
I found my prom picture online! Not the pictures you saw on Facebook but from the actual photographer that was at our prom!

Nice! So yeah that was it. And if you remember about our spring fest at the school and the stuff I bid on then I have some good news too! I won both of my biddings and returned home with art supplies and not only 1 yearbook, but 2 of them! I basically got last years yearbook and this years for only $15 when this years yearbook was $50!!!
That's a good deal, I'm telling ya'll!

So now, without further ado, I will say goodbye in my usual cliché Chinese and blown kisses way!

*blows kiss*
Zài jiàn!

Spring fest

Yesterday I went to the schools Spring fest! It is basically an auction for a lot of donated stuff. I actually bid on something myself and it would be awesome to win something. I don't know yet if I've won anything but I'll probably know by Monday when I get back to school.
After the Spring fest me, Aaron, Meghan and Brandyn went to karaoke, we had a lot of fun and I actually sang a song this time! We all did the song "1985" and me and Meghan did "Lucky".

All in all my Saturday was awesome. Sunday (today) will be dedicated to cleaning and cooking, because Cathy is in Nevada until Saturday so she is not here to do anything! :O

By the way, me and Meghan bought cake pops at the Spring fest. It was an auction so there were other people bidding on it. Let's just say that we could have made more cake pops with the money we used to buy them...

*blows kiss*
Zài jiàn!

Painting!

Okay so recently I have been working on a big painting. The painting is going to be part of a play at our school. The play is going to be by our drama club and it's going to be Romeo and Juliet.
I will probably take a picture of the painting because so far I really like it :) I am also going to take some pictures of the set. That is on the actual stage and I really can't wait to paint it! I have a partner in crime on this project and I'm happy that it's the same one that I worked on the art-show with.

Tomorrow I'm going to kickboxing practice from 9-10, then karate practice from 10-11 and then an extra hour from 11-12. Wow, that's going to be the most work out I've ever done...
Meghan is going with me to kickboxing and Chris too. Chris (sorry for all the explaining but I never know if you remember the people I mention here twice) is from the church that I went to with Martha. It turns out that he knew Meghan, Alex and Aaron before he even knew me... The world have become so small lately.
Any way... Wait... There is no any way. I'm done. Wow...

*blows kiss*
Zài jiàn!

Vegas pictures!

What you've all been waiting for! Pictures from my trip to Vegas!
Warning: We didn't go out much, so some of the pictures are of the same places!

This is our room 5 minutes after we checked in... Let's just say that 4 girls have a hard time keeping a hotel room clean.

The view from our balcony. Not bad, it was even more beautiful at night when you could see all the lights. 

Bar/club right across the street from our hotel. Of course we didn't go in there. Too young and all that...

Caesar's Palace is the biggest hotel I've seen in my life. It was also very expensive, but luckily we didn't stay there. Room service and breakfast at our own hotel was also expensive: $6 for a bowl of cereal...

Training at Caesar's!

Terrel or Changito (that in spanish means monkey - figures...). He had an unbelievable amount of energy during this trip!

Katy and Terrel taking a nap. Terrel already had his own fight and Katy is waiting for hers. Both me and Katy's fights were 3 hours delayed... I had a nap too ^^

Caesar's at night! There was an escalator from the street to the hotel above the street! It was very awesome!  

Our last hours in Vegas. We payed 20 extra bucks for a limo (because hey, why not?) to the bus station. We had a good time in Vegas and even though only me and Katy won our first battle I still think that our mood was very good. 

So that was it. I hope you had a great weekend and I'll see you next time!

*blows kiss*

Zài jiàn!

Prom night! (if you REALLY want to know)

Ok, I'll post a link to my dress here... Just for all you impatient people out there!

http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=1dd7682&deptid=71275&catid=80997&Ne=4294957900+5+3+585+1031+18&x5view=1&NOffset=2&N=4294934853&SO=0&Nao=21&PSO=0&bcCat=3&CmCatId=external|80997

Prom night!

Okay so I guess that there would be a few questions about prom right?

I'm already in my dress, which you won't see before pictures come! I'm pretty much just waiting for Aaron to pick me up. We are going out with a bunch of other students from the school. As far as I know most of them are seniors, can't complain about that. I like most of the seniors at our school (there is about 25 of them...).

The theme for prom is Fire and Ice and it will be held at The Armory. I showed you some pictures from it from some of the very first days I came here to America. I also told you about Sean who was "in charge" of the place. It would be kind of cool if I could see him again. I haven't seen him in about 6 months I think. I don't think he'll remember me though... Oh well. No reason to be sad about that.

So yeah. The whole thing starts at 8 and we are leaving at about 6 to go out to eat. We're eating at the "Spaghetti Factory". Figures.

So that's all for now. You'll probably see some pictures of me on Facebook in my dress if Alex uploads it - which she probably will if I know her right!

*blows kiss*
Zài jiàn!

Art show!

So the school had their art show today! And of course I was there :)
 The theme was "A Geisha's Dream" which was a mix between Japanese geishas and A Midsummer's Nights Dream (the Shakespeare play). The whole thing was pretty cool, we had a harp player come and play music and there was a ton of art. I'm just glad that I got to go this time since I couldn't last art show :/

I didn't have much art up, actually only two pieces, but I got many compliments for them :)

So prom is tomorrow! Of course you are all more excited than me, I can feel it :P I got a nice dress and shoes to go with it. My dress (since prom is usually long dresses...) is long in the back and shorter in the front. It's hard to explain but it looks gorgeous :)

I will upload some pictures of my Vegas trip soon. Maybe this weekend... Or actually, no maybe I have to upload them soon anyway :P

Have a good weekend everybody! I'll enjoy mine for sure!

*blows kiss*
Zài jiàn!

April fools daaay!

I'm too lazy to make up a joke for April fools so I'll just post some pictures here from my trip to Texas.
Just a quick sum up: We went to the Alamo (stepfather get's excited!) and we went to SeaWorld to pet the dolphins (dad get's excited!) and we went on a riwerwalk (which is not walking on the river but next to the river).
...
Enjoy!

But there is always story telling when I come home! Maybe I'll do a whole powerpoint presentation... Nah. Too lazy.

*blows kiss*
