Surprise :)

A lot of things went on today. This morning, when we got to school I walked by the "Vertretungsplan" the most important piece of paper in a student's life :) and guess what it said: Mr. Vogel was sick today. Everyone who happened to have French first hour turned their frown upside down. Someone came up with the assumption that he might be out today, since the principal, which happens to be hour German teacher (I don't know if you remembered that there has been a change) talked to him. We complained to him the day before, because apparently Mr. Vogel didn't want to discuss this matter any further. I was just really happy over this free hour. Stefanie ( who sits next to me in History) invited me for a cup of tea. This was really nice of her and we got to talk a little bit. I was writing French vocabulary while talking, since I don't want to have to do everything tomorrow.
We also got 5 pages of English vocabulary due Friday. So I have to study a little bit for that as well, which will go a lot faster than French though, since I know most of the words already, I just have to learn with what specific German word they go :)
In the afternoon we had sports and it was magnificent. I enjoyed it so much. We were playing volleyball and we actually got to really play and not just do ping pong over the net :) As a matter of fact, we didn't even stop in time, we were playing longer since it was so fun.
After coming home I started practicing piano while waiting for my first kid to come. The weird thing was that no one showed up at 4pm. So I was wondering who messed up and came to the conclusion that it was Katja and Sarah, but after I called them, they said that I have told them it was 4:30, so I called Montha and she said I told her 4:30. I knew this situation would get difficult, so first of all I checked out what my schedule said and it said that Katja and Sarah were supposed to come. Since it was already so late I asked Montha if she could send Simone one and a half hours later which she did. She is so nice and flexible. The dumb thing of all that was that I was done at 6. This is incredible late. At least I had practiced piano for quite a while.
Since I had some vocabularies to study I wanted to go outside but I didn't make it before sunset. There were just to many English vocabs to write on flash cards. That is actually all that I have done so far, except for my History homework :(
I will do English tomorrow and hopefully I can do a great job. I know that it is hard and I know that usually I don't do so well on those kinds of homework. It is something about interpreting an authors point of view, and his political standpoints in an article dealing with New Orleans and the flood and TV coverage and so on... we will see what I can do about it. At least I will make an effort and that should count already.
I think I really start "strongly disliking" :D French. I am so happy that tomorrow is my French free day. It is not so much the subject but the teacher. Therefore I will try to get ahead with the pages tomorrow, so that I can get further ahead the weekend to ease my next week. I wonder how I will manage all of my things once class tests start.
You know what?? I feel like I got dumber over the summer break. The funny thing is that others feel the same way. Them and me, we can't study as fast anymore. Maybe it is just a feeling, and I am exaggerating things, but those are my feelings.
I didn't get to practicing violin today so therefore I have to practice even more tomorrow. There is a huge pile of music ahead of me, with which I will have to be finished by the end of this school year.
Now I will prepare to go to sleep. I will reply to reltalks ASAP. Probably Saturday if you don't have much time to talk...
P.S.: Check out my pictures and there you will see a really cool flower that is blooming in our dining room right now. It is beautiful and very colorful.
