School

I started school this September. I am enjoying it a ton. My teachers are very nice and I am looking forward to the year ahead. I see many of friends through out the course of the day and for once the school lunches are worth something. :) I'll keep you guys posted.

Late

Well, I guess I've been waiting too long to post something. Last January was the last time I posted if I am correct. Hm... I'll think of something.

Missing my other home...

I am really missing Germany. I don't know why, but I guess it's because my friend emailed me after I hadn't heard from her since 4th grade. My Oma left in the beginning of December, and my french-German friends I last saw this summer. Luckily I have ways of keeping in touch with them. Of coarse there's always the food. When my Oma's here, she makes spaetzle, A really good egg-noodle plate. YUM! Than there's candy, like: Eatable paper, Waltmiester (wood druft), Gummy Bears, etc. And, one thing to use all your money up at, The Flea Market. I bought TONS of stuff at the first flea market I ever went to. Lucky me, we're going to Germany this summer. YES!

Songs to Last

I'm a singer. I sing with my choir every Wednesday. Sometimes on Thursdays and some Sundays. I can still remember the day my mom told me I was auditioning for the choir. It was a Tuesday afternoon. My sister and I just got back from school and where eating a snack. My mom walked into the room, telling me I was going to audition for the choir. She told me all about it and gave a practice audition. I was exited and nervous, But boy am I glad I did! We learned some amazing pieces. Last year we had to memorize a piece called Freedom Trilogy. Its in African and really fun to sing. Last summer though, Our choir directer told us he was leaving the choir. We thought it was the end of the world, But I was lucky enough to get someone who I think is amazing. Our new choir directer was only temporary, but he got the full job a couple of weeks ago. It's been so much fun in the choir and can't wait till Easter, when we sing the happiest songs on earth.

Alphabet Soup - letter N

N is for noose. Still in the challenge, the latest letter was 'N'. I was sitting on my couch trying to decide on an object. the words noodles, nice, new, and never first came to my head. My mother had already chosen noodles, when all the other words were verbs, adjectives, adverbs, Etc. Like usual, my head wandered. I began thinking about a book I read last year. It was Blood on the River. At one part, one of the important characters was about to be hung. By a noose. Noose. That's it!! I thought. The 'N' word I was looking for. Noose. I tied a string around my rabbit's neck and took the picture. Noose is definitely the word I was looking for.

Alphabet Soup - letter D

Alphabet soup. Yum... There's this really cool photography challenge where someone takes a letter out of a cup. The have you take a picture to represent that letter. In each of the pictures you take, there has to be a manikin (the same little manikin in each picture). Two weeks ago it was the letter 'D'. My manikin is a little Jack Rabbit. My letter 'D' was dice. Doesn't it look like he's in a castle of dice?
