Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat! What's that?! Drivers Ed + Push-up basketball as well as the garage =)

Huh, what? Who?! Joseph?! Who's that?! Dreamcoat?! O.o, if that's your thoughts right now, it's okay I'll tell you later what that is =)

Another week, more school to talk about :P Nothing changing really, everything's great I'm having fun, more or less, and I'm doing all of my work :D Nothing interesting really interesting happened this week either, we just picked up a millipede in Music class the one day and named it Abdul Jolie :D It's like a class pet now :D Just kidding of course, we set it free after that day :D But enough of the school, it's only three more school days till spring break anyways, YAY!


THE WEEKEND

Friday:
Now you know what Joseph and the amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is, a musical about the bible story about Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers, rising to power there and then helping them in a famine... :) And why did I put it in the title?! AHS performed it on the weekend and I went to see it =) It was really, really, really an awesome performance and they were singing amazingly good, I almoust can't tell the difference between the professionals singing the songs on the youtube and them :D They also played all the music themselves, which was very good too :) Erin and her friend Robin wanted to go too, so we all went together :) I also met Dae Sang and some other people from my school (no point in telling you the names I didn't take my camera :D)there, so I really had fun =) And they were truly amazing ! :) After that we all headed off to the garage, together with Dae Sang, who decided to stay at my place for the night :D We had fun in the garage with also some "older" people being there, Little Lou and friends, as well as two guys from AHS Ryan and his brother Cameron (I don't really know them, only by sight, Jun Hi (he was there too ): ;)) kinda brought them over) :D I even managed to beat a friend of Little Lou in Pool who himself had beaten a proffesional pool player some time ago :) YAY! :D But I was kinda tired that night, so I went to bed rather early, also because I had to get up rather early on:

Saturday:

Yep Drivers Ed was waiting again that morning, and since I bike there I had to get up at 9:15 to make it in time :/ After that I watched the recorded (I didn't want to stay up till 3 in the morning) F1 Qualifying (Kimi Raikkönen didn't do too good ):), since Dae Sang was still asleep, before we went and played some "push-up Basketball" with Dae and Jun Hi :D You try to do free throws and hoever misses does 5 push-ups (10 if it's an airball) and when you hit the others do 7... I actually was the best of the three, even if I'm not really an amazing basketball player, but I guess Koreans just are bad ;P Just kidding :D Also we did another little game where the Loser (Jun Hi :D) had to do 30 push-ups and run a certain distance, but Jun Hi ran away after he lost so he didn't have to do the push-ups O.o So me and Dae Sang just did them instead =) After that it was time for Dae Sang to leave, since Family company was coming over: Lou's sister and her husband had dinner (Lou's amazing tacos =)) with us. The garage then wasn't really empty but not very full either :/

Erin and Janay, the picture was taken after Erin had shown some of her acrobatic "skills" , and Janay was trying to help her up ;D

Only Zac (YAY not at his dads this weekend :D), his friend Devan, Erin. Janay (Bus... and on the pictures) , Ryan (the guy from AHS, he's kinda friends with me too now I guess :D) and Big Bryan were there...
Zac :D and half of me :D

I played pool that night and just kinda hang out, it doesn't seem like fun but it was xD

Well... Janay and Lou :D
Everybody who was there that night, besides Big Bryan and Ryan who had already left...

That's pretty much all that happened on Saturday, so here comes

Sunday

Sunday was really yucky weather (chilly and rain :/), so I couldn't go on a bike ride together with Ryan, what we wanted to do... The day just kinda drifted along, I got up at 12:20 (I even was the first one after Sandy :O), watched the recorded F1 race (called off because of rain with 25 rounds to go (first time since 1991) -.-) and played Pool with Zac =)

THAT'S IT! NO MORE! Good Night! ;D

P.S: Oh, what I forgot to tell you, since I'm addicted to txting now like everybody else ( just kidding, but some kids do like 8000 (!) Txts a month with no problem :O), I just typed in unlimited Txting (EVERYBODY (seriously!) has that over here!) in German into google today, but German Cell Contracts/Prepaid cards just don't have that at any affordable price, at least not if your txting over your phone, you can get flatrates to txt over the internet (O.o)... The cheapest flatrate was like 50 euros a month and the cheapest price per text 9 cts (I pay 5 overhere and i have the cheapest cell possible with a prepaid card!) THAT'S riddiculous ;P Well no more txting for me in Germany then I guess ;/

Boringness + Cars, Drivers Ed, Buckleys Farm and what I miss about Germany :D

Only 8 days of school till spring break !!!!!!!!!!! :) (Father Quantz (principal of AHS), added Thursday to spring break, so thank him for one more day off :D)

So another week has passed (it seems to go really fast :O), so what was special about it?!
School is still easy and there's no problems, I don't know why I even care to write it, it's not really going to change anyways I think :D. There was something special this week though: "Retreat" on Wednesday: A church kinda thing, you have no classes, but go in a small group (it's only a part of each grade that goes together) to learn about god and get to think about yourself, have mass in the Sister's chapel (Sisters of St. Paul) and play some games like: You all run around in a circle, then one of the teachers calls a number and you need to form groups with as many people as the number. Whoever isn't in a group is out... It's actually fun, even if my explanation may not seem that way :D

I also had 3 drivers ed' lessons this week and those are good to, I now know some signs, the two second rule and stuff like: 70 % of rear-end collisoins happen with a stationary vehicle involved :D Drivers Ed takes place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-8 PM and on Saturdays from 10-Noon. Driving lessons I need to schedule myself with the instructors and I'll start doing that next week I think :)

Now the part with pictures :) WEEEEKKKKEEEENNND!! :D

Friday:
WHAT'S THAT?!? Bryan's cool house :D

Yes, Bryan took me to see his house on Fridays late afternoon. And he has a awesome collection of NASCAR stuff :)
From a real used NASCAR car, signed by the whole crew!
Stuff ! :D

He said all the stuff he's got is worth about 120 k $ O:O He also has a huge TV (ofc ;D) and an awesome stereo :) Zac told me his collection is one of the Top 5 of the US... He has like a thousand of the model cars, many signed, and any merchandise you can imagine :O
CARS!!!! :D

He was kinda sick though, so he decided not to come back to the garage that night, which was really bad since seriously NOBODY was there that night besides Sol,me and Lou...

This song, which was on like 3 times that night on the radio station we were listening to describes how I felt (Not really, I wasn't depressed I'm just kidding ;D I was pretty bored though :D)

Saturday: I had drivers ed in the morning and after that Sandy took me to see "Buckleys Farm" a old place from 1910 where you could see the actual barn and the farm house as well as a Indian camp and a "Pioneers Farm" :)A Man dressed like on of the early pioneers (I think ;))

It was really cool and interesthing, but as you can see from the thick jacket I'm wearing it was really cool again this weekend :/ Especially the Indian camp was interesting, because there were some native Indians there, that told you about how they used to live there
A tent in the Indian camp

Now we come to the point where I actually missed something from Germany (doesn't happen to often ;P), I had some very good gyros in the restaurant we went for lunch, and it reminded me of good old turkish DÖNER Kebap! :D I really want some now, but you can't get it anywhere here ... :/

Saturday night was not as boring too: Erin and her parents, Jeff, his dad and Katrina as well as Jun Hi (n/c on how he looked that night, "gay" probably wouldn't fit it anymore ;P) showed up, so I had some fun :) (For those who were asking themselves who everybody else was this weekend: I only know Lauren was out of town somewhere, Zac was at his dads again(he has to go there till after spring break every weekend :/) and Andre was in Gary, no Idea why none of the "older" people like Little Lou showed up...) Also this weekend was the first Formula One race of the season, which was one at 1 in the morning which I then watched before I went to bed :D (Really interesting race too btw, because of all the new regulations that came this season :D)...

Sunday: Just a day spent hangin' around the house not really doing anything useful, because it was SNOWING and too cold to ride the bike :/ The weather was really crazy though, since in the afternoon the snow had melted again... Tonight I played some pool with Zac after he came back from his dads, but it really wasn't very warm in the garage :/

So this weekend wasn't the best I had over here, but it wasn't really bad either, got to see Buckleys, a small crowd on saturday night and learned some stuff for driving :D Next week you can look forward to some pictures of friends of mine in AHS, I'm planning to invite some of them (but you never know if they actually show up, since they all live kinda far from here and even though the Juniors I know mostly drive, they don't all have cars and don't get rides all the time, but we will see :D)

THE END
