Brownie in the USA

So, now it should be the time to write my next post about the last 10 days.
Sorry for writing that late, but i simply didn´t know what to tell you !

But before i start i´ll thank someone, thousand times !!! Because without Christian Schlipf (mieses It-Genie ) and Federküken my Blog would look like ... Well Selfmade by Brownie ... : / ! So thanks a lot for this awesome design, the incredible new toolbar on the left and especially for your great service on every of my Questions !! Soo guys, please check out this really fresh Blog ! THANKS !

My last 14 days starting at 4 because the 4 first days i told and showed you already. ( I´ll try to make it short, because i recognized i´m writing too much at once) :

Day 4 - Good night and Good bye !

At about 4 pm we arrived at home from our big trip to the Niagara Falls. It was a really hard trip so we all were about to go right to bed, but we had to wait for my brothers Host-mum to get him for the next 10 months. I remember i slept really good this night ;)

Day 5 - Day 10 - Help to adapt !

I enjoyed this days with another student from Spain. I was an big advantage for me because i never lived alone so i could slowly adapt.

Day 8 - Choosing my classes !

At Thursday i went to school for the first time. It is soo huge ! They have about 2000 students and for not loosing the overview they splitted the secretariat into 3 offices each with 2 secretaries and one chancellor. I was really exited but i was sleepy too so i didn´t got so much of the school.
But i´ve chosen my schedule ! I had to pick the main classes ( us-history, math, English, science (at least one) -> Biology, Chemistry)  and a few others. Mainly i chose advanced classes to not get completely lost when I come back to Germany. Further i had the opportunity to chose 3 interesting classes out of (felt) 500 different. I took PE (Sports), medical  terminology (some medical stuff) and power systems (unsrew an engine). Another really cool thing, i´m a senior so i´ll properly be the youngest in my class but un exchange i´m allowed to do as if i´m about to graduate what means participation in prom ... maybe i´ll get the diploma but don´t even know. And the lunch between 11 & 12 am after that class again till 2 pm. Then Sports, but i didn´t signed in yet !
But i´m really looking forward not only to meet new people, but also for the classes and sports i´ll participate in.

Day 10 - First day alone at home !

Nonetheless it was hard to face as he was gone. I had to play football on my own (and believe me its not that funny if you have to play receiver and thrower). So i bought a basketball and running shoes to entertain me trough the vacations. Sounds hard but is sometimes really funny ;)

Day 10 - 14

Now i have a real holiday feeling. Maybe you know this, when you´re lazy, hanging on the couch in front of the TV looking weird stuff  ( or football ;)... sports in general are more watched than in Germany ... later more !!!)and too lazy to do anything. But if you have the advantage to live with a family where both work or worked as cook you can also eat against Boredom, but then you feel like fat cow and  you´ll automatically start to do some work out. Try it !! ;) BUT i have to say the food i get served is really really tasty. I´m about to eat all the time.

That´s what i maily did the last few day ... i can tell you a lot more "interesting" things but then it will get tooo long so, I hope you enjoyed reading

See you soon
Brownie ;)

Two days ago in the earliest morning in 4 am we left for going to Niagara Falls. I tried not to sleep and to see as much as i can but the landscape of Illiois, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and New York is mostly the same like pretty much green but not much trees. So it looked really nice but everytime almost the same so i sometimes went for a little sleep. On our whole trip of just 2 days we only stoped about 6 times. So after 12 hours driving and one hour resting we arrived at Niagara City Falls.


It was very crowded so we can´t see the falls from the car, but as we went over there it was so nice to see. So what we did first was to enter the boat which is driving right into the falls and i tell you, it is an incredible felling when there is so many water around you.
No you can´t ... why not ??? It was a feeling i will never forget in my live and i really advise you to go for having a look on these. It just wonderful. I have another picture ...

I loved it a lot and i think i´m not gonna forget this trip anytime in my life !



So after 2 hours walking around and watching we decided to drive back to Pennsylvania for getting a cheaper place for staying the night. So we drove back the highway and took an exit to stay in a motel. But unfortunately the motel was full. So we went on the other side of the highway, to another Motel but from the company, but it was filled too and we werre like ... are you kidding me thats an Highway-Motel ... they are supposed to have rooms. So we got back on the highway and went to the next ... ( it was about 20 miles away ) Motel but also this was full so ... "WhaT ???" Then about 9 pm we finally found a Motel were we stayed the night.


The next day started at 6 am with a nice american breakfast and ended with a 9 hours drive back home :D

BUT the trip was very amazing and i really appreciate it because my host father did it for the 5th time and this time was the second time in a month. But he says he likes driving so it was really fun.

So first Post from the United States.
I´m in America since Yesterday morning still together with my brother. We are living with my host family and together with another student from Spain. We´re really having a great time till now, so i´m really looking forward to living here for this year.
Today we visited my new school. It´s thousand times bigger in reality than on google or even our school in Germany.
I ate the first time in my life pancakes with peanutbutter and they were sooo good. Also the food in my family is soo good and HEALTHY.I didn´t thougt it could be so in america, but .... "yes it can".

Tomorrow we´re going on a 12 h ride to the niagara falls so we are leaving at 3 am ... that will get funny :/ and i´m really looking forward to seeing them and the 5 states we are crossing.

Oh yeah i nearly forget to tell you how the flight went. During the flight i watched about 4 movies and as we arrived we had to keep aweak for another 9 houres untill 8 pm .

So that were our first two days in America ... Tomorrow I´ll make some pictures at the niagara falls and i´m writing about next week.

So have fun and enjoy your holidays !

Noch einmal schlafen, dann sitz ich schon im Flieger nach Amerika und füll Formulare aus in denen ich bestätige kein Terrorist zu sein.

Nur knappe 2 Wochen vor dem geplantem Abflug kam endlich die ersehnte Welle der Erleichterung die schlagartig von dem gleichen Unsicherheitsgefühl der letzten paar Wochen verfolgt wurde:

Na ja noch bin ich ja nicht weg ... also kann ich auch noch auf deutsch schreiben ;)

Also um mich und den Sinn meines Blogs vorzustellen muss ich eig. nur erwähnen, dass ich seit ca. einem halben Jahr plane ein 11 monatiges Schüleraustauschprogramm in den USA zu machen und dafür seit ziemlich genau 4 Tagen mehr Geduld brauche als jemals zuvor in meinem Leben ... :/ Na ja um dies zu erklären müsst ihr wissen, dass mein gleichaltriger Bruder dasselbige, nur getrennt von mir, vor hat, und er seit Dienstag seinen Sandort bzw. seine Familie weiß, was mich um so mehr zittern lässt weil er auf jeden Fall fliegt und ich womöglich hier bleiben müsste, was ich theoretisch gesehen auch nicht schlecht fände aber es praktisch finanziell und mental einfach jetzt nicht mehr möglich ist. Und nun kann ich noch max. 4 Wochen warten denn dann fängt dort die Schule wieder an und ich muss vorher schon dort sein, sonst lässt mich die Schule womöglich nicht mehr rein. :(


Na ja ... achso ja Danke dass ihr euch wenigstens ein bisschen für mich interssiert und meinen Blog lest
ich werde mich bemühen auch regelmäßig zu schreiben ... wenn ich´s hinkriege auch mit Bildern :))

Also drückt mir die Daumen, dass es hoffentlich noch klappt ;)
