Hey guys,
what's up? Hm... with me? It still feels soooo weird! Wow, I never thought you can feel all these feelings... AT ONCE! Sometimes I would not cry at all, because I don't feel like saying "Good Bye", another time I am crying like sonstewas... wow, I seriously didn't expect it to be THAT hard, but it is... it is such an emotional conflict.
Okay so... I already took my Geometry exam today... pretty easy, I had time left... tomorrow is my 1st period exam (which is English) and the next day is going to be French + Web Design (did I mention, that we are going to have a group activity in this class for exams?) and the last day Nothing and Physical Science and then it's over...
Today my 5th period class made me a surprise party! It was so much fun! We had cupcakes and Oreos and Caprisun and everything! And they made us T-shirts with our names and then they signed it! It was amazing... I'm going to upload pictures soon... probably when I come back!
Julia
Mama:
I am really thankful, that you did that for ME, i am really glad to see you again, BUT I AM still here and you know how I am with farewells... I love you so much Mama! And nothing will ever change this, no matter where I am, you will always be my Mama.

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Opa W.! Ich hoffe du hast Spass an deinem Geburtstag.
Hey guys,
guess what... I am finally turning 16 in two days... great news, huh?
Now it is June 1st and I can't believe that I have to leave so soon... it'll be over sooo soon... and I feel so weird! Totally different from the feelings I had when I left Germany... much more intense! My brain is producing a chaos in my head!! I feel happy, sad, alone and my mood would swing from like really happy to sad and aaaaaaaaaaah... everybody reminded me today that I'm gonna leave so soon and how much they're going to miss me... wuah! It's so hard to explain... I feel like a bomb that could explode any moment! I just can't believe what I have to give up. I want to stay, of course I want to see you g(erman)uys again, but oh my... it's so hard to explain... is there anybody there, that understands what I'm talking about?? I can't even really sleep at night... aaaaaaaaaaargh! It's so hard!
But besides that, I'm amazingly good! Today will be my last Lacrosse meeting, just like a after-season dinner kinda thing. We'll return our uniform and stuff. The last time I will see the whole (not even the whole team, because some are just not coming :( ) team again... I'm gonna cry so hard! And tomorrow the Seniors get out of school... everybody is happy to get out of school... except me... am I sick? And then my contact broke IN school today... now I don't have ANYMORE because I used them daily...
It actually feels better if you try to put your feelings in words! But still... no no no no no!! Aaaah... why? Sorry at all my readers, that is a blog, an online journal so either you read through all the weird stuff I write or you just stare at a bunch of letters :)
Oh by the way I passed all 5 OGT's with an accelerated score... that means I get 10 extra % on every of my exams and I don't even take a Nutrition and Wellness exam, because we took an online "pre-exam" and everybody who got more thatn 75 % (which was everyone) don't have to take the test.
On June 4th (yes one day AFTER my birthday) I have to take my US History exam... that's gonna be my toughest exam... I got done with my 280 FIB w/out a wordbank review packet and then I gotta study them all and 3 possible essays!
Phys. Science will involve a lot of studying too... I think I'll do fine on the others!
I can't believe it, I can't believe it!!! Ten months, already over? Where did my time go? Even when I come back it won't ever be the same!
I should have kept a journal for the whole year... i can't believe I didn't.
Well I'm gonna get back to my studying!
I love you, everybody!

~~Time for another english post
Sorry guys, but this post will be in english, it's 9:29 PM i'm too lazy to think in German, which is terrible... So I gotta talk about some stuff that's going on here, huh? Yea, I know I should write in here more often... I forgot ;)
Okay so how is everything going?
1. Lacrosse
2. Prom + Afterprom
3. Florida
4. Others
1. Okay, so Lacrosse is going great. We had a game yesterday, against Saint Ursula... we lost 7:10, but it was fun anyways. Tomorrow we are playing Mason, that's gonna be so much fun! I heard the last time they played that team there were 2 people in the hospital and 5 injuries... so they didn't get to play them last year.
2. On Saturday I'm gonna go to prom... i'm so excited! Oh my gosh! I bought my dress and it's gorgeous and NO i don't have any pictures and YES i'm sorry, that i don't even write "understandable" english. Okay so my dress -- wow that will suprise you mom, since you haven't had some very desperate shopping tours with me - the first dress I tried on, was the one I bought at the end... it's so gorgeous! It's green (and it matches my eyes)... wasn't that expensive though ;) Prom is from 8pm-12pm I think... and then afterprom until 5;30 or something... there's supposed to be a chocolate fountain, pizza (i was gonna write pizza fountain, oops ;D), subs, hypnotizers, human bowling (How is that supposed to work? and moon bounces and stuff like that. I'm gonna be so tired for church the next day (i have to get up at 8) but i don't want it to sound that i don't want to go to church, i really do want to go ;D And then I'm leaving for
#3 Florida ;)
I'm so eXcited for that too ;) I think i'm just gonna sleep the whole drive... since i can't really do anything besides sleeping and listening to music (and eat haha...)okay and talking but how with 2 hours or so of sleep?? It's gonna be awesome anyways... I hope the weather will be all right so we can go to the beach ;)
4. Others
-I want to have an Ipod touch, these things are amazing... i always play with my friend's one ;) and i want to buy my lacrosse uniform (omg, it's expensive $125)...
-I have to make a family feast project for nutrition & wellness... any ideas what i can do? gluten free please ;)
-Please email me when you go on vacation in the summer, so i can plan my summer too... don't do anything on JULY 4th... you WILL be busy! Don't leave or anything ;)
-I love chocolate chip cookies, and i don't know how to survive without chocolate chips...
- Familie und Freunde - nur weil ich mich hier so wohlfuehle heisst nicht dass ich euch nicht vermisse oder mich nicht freue euch wieder zu sehen... Danke fuer euer Verstaendnis ;) I love you...
Lesson for German-non-english speaking people:
gonna do s.th. - to going to do something - etw. tun werden
gotta - got to
i'm - I am
're - are
Lesson for non-german-not-german-speaking-people:
Ich - I
du - you
er - he
sie - she
es - it
wir - we
ihr - you
sie - they
Pardon me if i wrote something wrong it's been almost 7 months since i last talked "real" german... to an american-non-speaking stewardeur ;)
... i'm just kidding ;) just get it translated by google it'll be awful but better than nothing, duh!
I'll see ya around!

Deutscher Eintrag ~~ ;D
Hallo aus Ohio!
So damit meine Familie, Verwandten und Freunde auch mal verstehen was ich hier drueben so erlebe, schreibe ich mal wieder in Deutsch... ganz schoen komisch. Ich entschuldige mich lieber jetzt schon mal fuer die Grammtik- und Buchstabierfehler, die ich werden mache...
Okay, ich habe ja laaaaaaaaaaaange nicht mehr hier rein geschrieben, tut mir wirklich leid. Koennt ihr mir verzeihen... Das wichtigste, was ihr wissen muesst:
Mir geht es blendend und wenn euch jemand fragt wie es denn deiner Tochter/Nichte/Enkeltochter/Freundin...(mir) in den USA so geht: SUPER!
Hm... okay... hier ist so viel passiert die letzten Wochen, dass ich bestimmt ueber die Haelfte vergessen werde...
Ja, letzte Woche (die Woche bevor dem heutigem Tag [Sonntag]) hatte ich ja OGT Woche (Ohio Graduation Test). Jeder Schueler in Ohio muss den OGT meistern bevor du hier den Abschluss (graduation) machen kannst. Ich habe ein gutes Gefuehl in allen 5 Kategorien (Mathe, Englisch schreiben + lesen, Naturwissenschaften, Social Studies (Politik, Geschichte,...).
Naechsten Donnerstag habe ich mein erstes Lacrossespiel... ich hoffe ich kann bis dahin uneingeschraenkt laufen... mein Knoechel ist geschwollen und ich bin eine ganze Woche lang nicht gerannt, das hat natuerlich auch Spuren hinterlassen (wow, in Deutsch muss ich die SHIFTtaste viel oefters druecken ;D)
Dass heisst... ich bin (fast) verrueckt geworden... okay ich bin verrueckt geworden, aber das ist ja fuer viele sowieso nichts neues, ne?
Das wars auch schon... sorry... (und ich habe mehr als die Haelfte vergessen, deutlich mehr... ich habe euch vielleicht grademal wenn es so hoch kommt 1/10000 von dem erzaehlt was ich hier erlebe... wenn ich zurueck komme werde ich dafuer umso mehr erzaehlen ;D
Mama, Papa -- ihr seid die besten Eltern der Welt, ich liebe euch!
Sabrina - du bist die beste Schwester auf der Welt! Auch wenn wir uns manchmal streiten
Obwohl du hier Konkurrenz von Breighton und Emily kriegst... aber die beiden sind meine aaaaaaaaaaaalllerliebsten GASTgeschwister, so wie Kevin und Jenn meine allerliebsten Gasteltern sind... okay auch irgendwie meine einzigen, aber trotzdem.
Ich liebe euch alle
eure abenteuerlustige JULIA
GO FIREBIRDS!
PS: Das weibliche Basketball Team von meiner Schule (Lakota West HS) ist zu den Final 4 - State Level gekommen... haben aber nur knapp verloren... trotzdem sehr gut!!

everything... ☺☻☺☻ ♥
Hello,
yes I know I forgot the questions for like 3 months or something... sorry about that!
So what was this week?
Monday - 1 hour delay
Tuesday - Friday - no school - because of the snow (a LOT of snow!)
I do have pictures, and I'll try to find my card drive, I'm really trying, but I have no clue where it can be... I looked almost everywhere ;|
The finals were pretty good... I got a 102% in Geometry, 86% in US History (90% for the semester grade) and I don't know the others yet.
I can't really tell you how Nutrition & Wellness is, because I only had it once for 32 minutes. It seems like a lot of fun, Emily said it's like study hall, just you cook, bake and eat ^_^ sounds good to me.
Today I had Lacrosse practice at 9 am. Kinda early, but it was so much fun ☻We took our picture... oh my gosh! Today of all days, I wasn't prepared for that... but it's not online yet.
And then I went sledding... it was so much fun, I bumped in a tree, and then Gillian came and got me in my back... don't panic, I'm fine, my hand just hurts a little! It was so much fun, I also have pictures of that... but like I said, G-E-D-U-L-D ;)
Okay I'm gonna answer the questions now:
1. How are you at the moment? Recovering from my sledding trip, but pretty warm and good (:
2. Gefaellt es dir? Was gefaellt dir/Was nicht?
It's so awesome! I learn so much and yes, it is so much fun!
I don't like Rootbeer... I do like snow (not too much, not too less), my family, school, friends, church, Lacrosse, shopping...
3. Heimweh? Nope
4. Was/wen vermisst du? Nelipeli ♥
5. Besuchte Restaurants/Shopping malls/stores:
Restaurants: Benihana (*), Kentucky Fried Chicken
Others: SmoothieKing, United Dairy Farmers

13. "feeling of the month": rollercoaster (Funmonday, Snow, Sick (~>cold), getting better, Awesome ) it stopped on the top ^^

21. Song of the month: Lovestory, Soulmate, Closer
* Benihana:
Is awesome!
Yesterday I got invited from Fyona, French exchange student (from Paris!) to her birthday party and it was awesome! We had Japanese food, unfortunetly I ate Pizza before, but I could take it home. I never ate Japanese before, it was so much fun! But I had to leave at 10 pm, because I had Lacrosse practice this morning. We had a good time!
And in the restaurant, there was a waiting area, first I thought, that is the eating area but it wasn't. Then 5 minutes later we got in, because it was Fyona's birthday, she got a pretty funny balloon hat and free ice cream (dessert). And then the show began!
They cooked our meals right in front of us! AWESOME! Okay, let me see if I can remember all parts of the meal...
1. soup
2. rice
3. shrimps
4. Zucchini
5. onions
MAIN DISH (I ordered fried noodles)
Dessert (ice)
Green Tea
I just ate a little bit, but now I have a lot to eat at home.
I took pictures (on Fyona's camera^^)... it tastes different, I think I would like it more, if I eat it another time! But it's healthy and low calorie so... ;)
Good bye! I'm gonna play with my sisters ♥
See you around... not really, let's pretend ☻

Christmas ~ January ~ Finals
Hey guys,
I know it's weird I write about Christmas after writing about New Year... I still write 1/DD/08 sometimes on my sheets ;)
Quick summary
Christmas #1, Dec 23
At our house, opening presents
Christmas #2 Dec 24
At Kevin's parent's house, opening presents
Christmas #3 Dec 24 (evening)
At Jenn's parent's house, one present (a christmas pajama for the night ;D)
Christmas #4 Dec 25 (morning)
First Breighton woke me up at 6 or 7, I didn't look at the clock, I just knew, I was tired, but that's okay, who wouldn't be excited for christmas? Opening presents, VERY good breakfast...
Food we ate (I don't know exactly which day):
Peanut-butter-kiss-cookies
Jell-o
Cinnamon rolls
a lot more good stuff (but I either forgot it or the name) That makes me hungry...
If I'll remeber anything else I'll write it the next time^^
Okay, I found the paper where I wrote down what to write here ;)
1. German club t-shirts are here. I'll make a photo.
(OLDS NOT NEWS ^^)
2. Because of the finals I don't have time to upload my pictures (my chip is finally full :D)... and I - unfortunetly - waited too long, so now the finals are coming up and I don't have time... good excuse, huh? Jk Apropos camera, My screen is a little bit broken, there're some black things where they don't belong... don't freak out, mum and dad!
3. Oh, maybe I already wrote about that... we had a sub(stitude) (Vertretungslehrer/in) in US History and he said we had to outline a certain chapter, Mrs. Latessa said that... we were obidient, so we did it and the next day our teacher comes and she's like "thanks for doing it, but it wasn't required... thanks a lot! ^^ And he was totally serious while lying to us... not a very good rolemodel for a teacher...
4. My hair / Meine Haare / Mes cheveux
They are so long! Compared what it used to be... I should get my hair cut sometime... ^^
5.Carleigh's house again (from this point it's new again, that's why I started a new paragraph)
I'm staying with Carleigh again, because my family is out of town, in Florida, and because I'm getting out of school in March for one week for Florida and the finals are coming up, I didn't go with them. So I have to go to seminary (sunday school before school 6 am). It sounds more terrible than it is... it's actually not terrible at all... and you're not that tired in your first period. It's fun!
6. CPR / AED / First Aid
Hey Papa, you're gonna like that ;) I'm learning how to do CPR (compression and rescue breaths), AED and First aid from the American Red cross... it's fun... I'll get my certificate sometimes... ^^
7. Finals
My schedule is cool and not. I can leave at 12.30 or something like this, but I have to take my final exams for the first semester (first semester means I'm halfway through my year here, actually on my german sis' birthday, Jan 23 ): ) [ That's (http://lakotawesthigh.com/students/final_exam_schedule.html) my exam schedule.] 2 and a half hour each.
8. Lifetime Fitness changes to Nutrition and Wellness
Yes, LF is just a one-semester-class ;) It's gonna be fun. What I heard was no tests, no finals, cooking and watching movies.
9. I forgot to answer my questions for a long time... oh no... I'm sorry... I'll do it later, but my hands are freezing from all that typing...
Bye, have a good day ♥

I know it's weird I write about Christmas after writing about New Year... I still write 1/DD/08 sometimes on my sheets ;)
Quick summary
Christmas #1, Dec 23
At our house, opening presents
Christmas #2 Dec 24
At Kevin's parent's house, opening presents
Christmas #3 Dec 24 (evening)
At Jenn's parent's house, one present (a christmas pajama for the night ;D)
Christmas #4 Dec 25 (morning)
First Breighton woke me up at 6 or 7, I didn't look at the clock, I just knew, I was tired, but that's okay, who wouldn't be excited for christmas? Opening presents, VERY good breakfast...
Food we ate (I don't know exactly which day):
Peanut-butter-kiss-cookies
Jell-o
Cinnamon rolls
a lot more good stuff (but I either forgot it or the name) That makes me hungry...
If I'll remeber anything else I'll write it the next time^^
Okay, I found the paper where I wrote down what to write here ;)
1. German club t-shirts are here. I'll make a photo.
(OLDS NOT NEWS ^^)
2. Because of the finals I don't have time to upload my pictures (my chip is finally full :D)... and I - unfortunetly - waited too long, so now the finals are coming up and I don't have time... good excuse, huh? Jk Apropos camera, My screen is a little bit broken, there're some black things where they don't belong... don't freak out, mum and dad!
3. Oh, maybe I already wrote about that... we had a sub(stitude) (Vertretungslehrer/in) in US History and he said we had to outline a certain chapter, Mrs. Latessa said that... we were obidient, so we did it and the next day our teacher comes and she's like "thanks for doing it, but it wasn't required... thanks a lot! ^^ And he was totally serious while lying to us... not a very good rolemodel for a teacher...

Happy New Year!!
Hey, yes believe it or not, I didn't die yet, I'm still alive! I was just too lazy to write here... by the way, I have tons of new photos... I know you wanna see them, but my finals are coming up soon (okay, that's a very bad excuse, I had like weeks, months...) Sometimes, Sometimes, I promise! And if not during my year, then afterwards... but first of all, I need someone making me leave ;D
Okay, what's new? A ton of stuff, but I bet I'll forget more than the half of them.
I just kinda start with a list thing:
Viele liebe Gruesse aus Ohio,

Okay, what's new? A ton of stuff, but I bet I'll forget more than the half of them.
I just kinda start with a list thing:
- It's official, I'm at the Florida Trip 2009 from CETUSA, I got the mail two days ago! I'm so excited... I finally got my money out of the ATM... that was a drama... Sparkasse thinks there are tons and tons of Bank of Americas in America... Apparently... there are NOT! Oh how fun, the nearest one is 30 miles away (don't ask I have no clue how many kilometers...). But fortunetly we visited Jenn's parents on Christmas and the internet said that there's an ATM. Okay, we drove around and found the adress. Oh no... SHOCK! There's just a Chase ATM, but they kinda share their ATM so Friede, Freude, Eierkuchen! I got my money, I was happy.
- "Remember, Remember, the month of December!" I changed this quote a little bit, for all those who remember... V wie Vendetta... Herr Schumann... ach ja das waren noch Zeiten ;P! December was kinda hard for me... Christmas, Silvester...all these very strong memories with my family. Apparently Americans don't celebrate Silvester ;( No Raclette, No Blei giessen, No Dinner for One, No neighbors... but I did have fun though ;) I went with my friend Carleigh to Courtney's house it was fun... she has a Wii (by the way, I fell in love with Wiis, aren't they amazing? ^^) And I almost won 1st place Mario Cart, but then Carleigh got me, and I was like 6th...but that's my best (: And we watched the Ball drop in New York. There's a ball, and it's like a countdown. It begins 11:59:50 PM (i think) and every second it gets a little bit lower...We had guys over and that's basically it... just hang out. Okay, we went to the trampoline at 10 pm and I couldn't fell my hands or feet anymore ...
- Lacrosse... Okay, the real Pre-season starts in January, actually on Saturday. The first three "meetings", those were Pre-pre-season like conditioning and stuff. I'm so excited... I can shop for my very own Lacrosse stick soon ;D I don't know why I'm that excited, but I am... ;D
- My final exams are coming up... third week of January... so much to study, even just in US History (294 Fill-in-the-blank-question without a given word bank... -.-) And then 6 more classes...
- I forgot...
Viele liebe Gruesse aus Ohio,
