Sitting in Psychology Class, just took a test over the brain and its structure. It’s raining hard outside, the wind is blowing.. zero desire to go to practice after school. But it should be fun, our first meeting is coming closer, I’m excited.
We did not have anything too exciting going on last weekend. Between working out, going out to eat to a new American restaurant (Applebee’s!) and catching up with homework was not much time left. And of course watching the Kentucky Basketball game against Tennessee, it was a good and tough game, but we WON!Hope everyone is haaving a great day!

Wow, I can’t believe how long it has been, since I wrote my last post. That shows you all, that I’m a busy girl over here. ;)
Let’s start with.. Thanksgiving! It’s a ttraditional American Holiday, all the amily eats a meal together – the meal: Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Stuffing, Noodles, Cranberry and Pumpkin Pie. The day after Thanksgiving we went Black-Friday Shopping, trying to get some great deals. We were at Walmart around 10 o’clock and did not come home until 6am on Friday. It was crazy, soo many people fighting for electronics and other things. 
The weekend after Thanksgiving we put up our Christmas tree, a fake tree, out of a box with electric lights on it. I was impressed.
 Haha in December I started with Track practice, which is great. The girls are so much fun and I can learn a lot from the coaches.

I did a lot of Christmas Shopping in December and found some great gifts for my host family. As soon as Christmas Break started I started baking Christmas Cookies for them (they usually do not bake a whole lot of cookies for Christmas except from Chocolate chip cookies and Snickerdoodles). They loved them!  The actual holiday we spent with visiting with family, eating and opening gifts. It was a great time with a lot of fun.
It’s New Years Day now.. 2012 is here. I can hardly believe it, time is passing by so fast. 2011 was probably the best year of my life so far. Coming to America was the best decision I have ever made and I am very thankful for all the help and support from my family back home. All the people that make this time here wonderful for me I have thank as well. Especially my amazing host family, Tonya and Josh, Heidi and Nick, Samuel and Michael.
