1 Month anniversary England 🎂🎉🇬🇧

Time is running, it's ridiculous! Exactly one month ago I said goodbye to my family at the airport in Germany and flew to England. I'm so thankful to be able to do that exchange year and it's amazing how much happened in only one month! 

I haven't updated you in quite a while and I'm really sorry but things got a bit complicated and stressful. Basically I went to a school here and I wasn't really happy there, what I did was applying to a college and lucky me I got accepted! I'm now a college girl and so much happier! Even tho I miss the friends I made at school. But I can still meet them so it's fine! In college I'm doing a course which is called "Childcare education" and I really like it! I found friends really quick again and yesterday was one of the best days in college I had so far! 😄🙈 I don't think there is a lot more to tell about my life here right now as not that much exciting stuff happened. But I'll let you know as soon as something new happens, I promise! ☺️

See you soon xxx

meet up's and first days in school

Here I am again, another update of my new life here in England. 

At the 4th of September (Friday) I met my lovely friend Meike again. We met in St. Ives and went a bit shopping and of course we were eating, as always. :D 

We went to Costa and we both had a sandwich and a muffin and let me tell you something, these muffins were amazing!! 

Something I haven't told you yet, me and Meike are always making a bit fun about the English language. The posh "slang". We think it's funny how they're talking and we always pretend to be like posh and stuff. So when we've been eating in Costa we found that popcorn and it said "Poshcorn" on the package which we found absolutely hillarious! 

Well it's probably just funny for us but I don't care. :D 

After that my host mum picked us up and we went to "my" house. Meike ate dinner with me and my host family which was really nice! We laughed a lot and Meike, or should I say Lisa (?!) you fit in really well! :D <3 

After dinner (which the dog ruined first time by eating the veggie sauce for Meike) we went to Pidley. We had a meet up with all the EF exchange students from this region and it was so so nice to see everyone again!! 

The day after that I met up with my lovely Danish friend Andrea in Peterborough and we went shopping. We had a lovely day and we kind of spend a flipping lot of money... 😁 but it was worth it! 

I'm going to skip to Monday. First day in school..

I was so scared, nervous and terrified. I didn't knew what to do and where to go. When the bells rang everyone went outside so I just followed them then everyone got into a Tutor group and I didn't know anything about it so a boy asked me if he should show me where I can find out and we took a look at the lists in the sixth form center. Well my name wasn't on any of these lists. Then there was a speech in the assembly hall and after that everyone got their timetable. I met two girls and they showed me where I have to go and everything. (By the way my subjects are geography, English language and social & health care). I met more people through the days and it was quite funny when they asked me where I'm from, because they didn't expected me to say Germany! :D Anyway it's going quite well and everyone seems to be nice. I'll get used to that dress code and the fingerprint thing soon I think, so I'll have a good year here. Well, I hope so 😄💪🏻

first days in the new family

Saturday, 29th of August 2015

I woke up at six a clock and got ready to leave Winchester. The bus journey to Huntingdon was 3 and a half hour long I think and I kinda slept nearly the whole way. When we arrived in Huntingdon it was warm and the sun was shining, which was really nice! We got our luggage and said goodbye to each other. I'm so lucky that the most of my closest friends from the welcome days live nearby! A few minutes after we arrived my host mum Catherine welcomed me with a hug and we went to one of the Grandma's where I met my host sisters Robyn (13y) and Cayla (11y). After a while we went home and I got to meet the dog Potts who liked me from minute one as we all noticed. :b 

Nothing really exciting happened the first days I think because I can't remember anymore :D sorry about that! 

But what I do remember is Tuesday! 

Tuesday I met up with my lovely friend Meike! We met in town and went a bit shopping, ate chocolate ice cream with frozen spoons and cheesy pops! :D

We had a really lovely day together and I can't wait to do that again!! 

Thursday was the first kinda day at school for me. I went to the bus with my host sisters and Robyn showed me the way to sixth form. I talked to a lovely lady there and chose my three subjects. And that's it! :D After that I went to town with my host mum and both grandma's from the family. I got some new shoes for school (the dress code in England is horrible tho) and some paper to write on in school. A bit boring maybe this week but I'm sure it'll be more exciting when school has started! 

see you later Alligator
