4th week

Oh my gosh, the time is running so fast !!

It’s a week ago, when I wrote the last Blog, I don’t remember what all happend. It was a good week , school was okay, I wrote two  tests and my grades are still great. I will start at Friday. I came home after school at 2:55 because I had no practice. We went to Walmart because I looked for screen protection. If I didn’t say until yet, I bought an Iphone 5 in White at Amazon last week. It is awesome !! I just freaking love this phone !! Whatever, I didn’t buy one because they were pretty expensive, so I ordered some at Amazon. Later, we went to Pine Grill, where we ate Dinner. I had a Toscana soup, Penne Alfredo and a SKILLET COOKIE ❤ 😀 That’s a big chocolate chip cookie as big as a skillet, with vanilla ice-cream, whip cream and chocolate sauce on it. I loooove it !! I ate so much, that I got sick haha. 😀

On Saturday, I slept longer and I played FIfa with my brother the whole morning. We went to Berlin (PA) to the small outlet warehouse, because it’s pretty cheap. I bought an comprassion short for soccer. Then we went to Walmart again and I studied. At 4:30, we had to leave because I had 2 games. We won both games. The first 1:0 and the second one 3:0 nothing. That was important, because during the week, we won against the hardest team. We got Bonus points and we are 1st place now in our district, that awesome !! After we got home, I just went to bed because I played both games. Soccer season is over in nearly 2 weeks, I decided to do SWIMMING as a winter sport.. I’m so bad at swimming HAHAHHA 😀

Today in the morning, I took a run and I studied and relaxed the whole day. Then we took a drive with our Ford Mustang and we went for Dinner to Hass’s, amazing place !! All you can eat Desert bar, it was worth it haha. Here are some pictures, the first are 2 soccer pictures ( we do have an own photograph for soccer). On the second one of these, that was the moment where someone hit my ankle, that was almost broken in Germany. The 2. and 3. picture is a Skillet cookie and my brother and the 4. and 5. pictures are two of our 5 cars haha 😀

Pittsburgh & Shopping

Hey guys, I will start yesterday. We had school until 12:55, because of the Homecomming court. We had a presentation or kind of it, where the 5 girls, which were chosen to have the chance to become homecomming queen, had to play games with their parteners. It was very very funny, and the topic was Superheroes. “ very good frinds of me were at this court, they were Iron Man and Iron Woman 😀 I will upload a picture with the girl 🙂 In the afternoon, we had the Homecomming parade of our school (when the football team after a few away games, the first time at home plays, it is Homecomming) 😀 When had 2x of 25 pounds Candy bags 😀  We stood on Trucks, and throwed candy  on the street 😀 We had a lot of fun, and the game after the parade was amazing, we won 42:13 against Westmond. In the Halftime, the Homecomming Queen was chosen. We had to vote for a girl, and these girls were dressed up and very very pretty!!  Later, we went to a friends house and had „youth group“ (group of our church). We had a fire with Pizza, S’mores and a few games.

Today I was in Pittsburgh. First we had to leave at 7 a.m 😀

At 8:30 we were at the College called Point Park.  We were at the College visit from 9:15 till 12:30. It was interesting, I never saw a College before and I saw the campus, the libary, the gym and and and. I love the little students apartsments haha 😀

At 12:30 we went to Moe’s, it is like an Mexican Resturant, I had an Burito with Chicken. After that, we were at the Ross Park Mall. This is one of the biggest Malls here in this area and in Pittsburgh. It was great and things are sooo cheap here. First, we were at  the Apple store, because I wanted to see the Iphone 5s, I will buy it next month 🙂 After that, we were at H&M and the American store is small and has just a little bit. I bought so good stuff at Abercrombie and Fitch !! I bought 2 Hoodies and 2 pair of Jeans for 82$ !! 😀 😀 😀

In Germany, I would have paid 380€ !! Then, we went to AT&T to get my Internt for my phone 🙂

Later, we went to a Fish – Resturant, I hate fish, so I bought a Chicken – Bacon Burger <333 But I tried the Crab feeds, they were so good.

Then we went on our way back and my phone died, so I was not able to do a lot of photos of Pittsburgh by night, but I have a lot of others !! Enjoy it !!IMG_0205 IMG_0204 IMG_0209 IMG_0206 IMG_0207 IMG_0217 IMG_0240 IMG_0224 IMG_0225 IMG_0226 IMG_0230 IMG_0232 IMG_0234 IMG_0238 IMG_0239 IMG_0243 IMG_0228 IMG_0229 IMG_0235 IMG_0236 IMG_0242 IMG_0258 IMG_0249 IMG_0250 IMG_0255 IMG_0256 IMG_0267 IMG_0264 IMG_0266 IMG_0248 IMG_0247 IMG_0268

SAturday, we went to the game and I don’t want to write everything, but it was just AMAZING !! The fans, the stadium, the team, everything is awesome and the students of Penn state are very loud abd they were shouting the whole time ! Penn State lost with 3 points, but all in all was it a great experience 😀

Monday was a normal day of school, but we had to leave at  1:30 because we had an away game in Bedofrd. That was the hardest team we have to play this season. We lost 3:1, but we were better and there is a second game. On Tuesday, there was nothing special at school and we had practice. Yesterday, I had school and after that a game against Richland. First, I played JV where I scored 1 goal and I made 1 assist. In Varsity, I played 35 minutes and it was good. I didn’t scored, but I had done well !! We won both games. 10 minutes, before the game was over, A player from Richland hit my ankle (Knöchel) and I was not able to walk. It was almost broken in Germany, and everytime it is getting a hit, it gets swollen. I grabbed a LOT of Ice and today it was still hurting, but it was able to walk. After school, I had to take some senior pictures. Later, I decided, to go the Field House to our proffesional Health and Sport coach, he taped my ankle, so I was able to play tonight haha. 😀

We played against Johnstown, we won 9:0. I did not score tonight, but I played a lot. I have some pictures, I will post them too. I’m number 19 😀

Tomorrow, we have Homecomming !! That means, that our Football team has the first Football game home since a few weeks. It is like a parade at the beginning and then we will watch the game. That’s what I’m doing tomorrow night. Beforet, I will only have school until 1 p.m and we are going to Rey Azzteca for Lunch, That is the Mexican Resturant 😀 I have to write 2 tests tomorrow in Sports and Marketing and in Algebra. We are oing to have a Field Trip (Ausflug) to Heinz Field. This is the stadium of the Pittsburgh Penguins (Ice-Hockey) at the end of october. 🙂

At Saturday, we are going to Pittsburgh !! First, we will go a college because my sister has a College visit. After that, we eat something for lunch and going to Pittsburgh Downtown.

Hi guys, it’s time for a new article.

All in all, the evening was nice and we had a lot of fun. At Saturday, we went to Walmart to buy a looooot of stuff. After that, we had lunch and I had to study a lot.

First normal week began

So, I decided to write in English, because it’s much easier to do it than in German.

After the Labor day at Monday,I had school yesterday. The classes are boring or hard to understand but it’s getting better. 😀

I ate my Lunch like everyday and I had to write a test in Forensic Science (Crime Laws, something like Law & Order or CSI Miami). I was studying the whole weekend, and it was so easy at the end.. So let’s keep hoping that the test is good. After that, I got my English homework back, I had 20 of 20 points – Perfect Result. It was hard, because I have College Preparation class (one of the hardest classes). And finally I got home, to eat some Mac&Chesse and doing my homework. I have a lot of homework and I have to study A LOT.

My day is like, going to school at 7:20 am, school’s end at 2:55 pm, at 4 pm I have Soccer practice and than I get home at 6 o’clock. After that I have dinner and than I’m doing homework. It’s not good though, but it will be better after some time.

BUT YESTERDAY I HAD MY FIRST SOCCER GAME !! 🙂

bFirst, I got my stuff after school. I got a HUGE black bag with “ Golden Eagles“ written on it, 2 pairs of socks (black and white), 2 shorts (black and orange) and 2 jerseys ( White and Orange). The Orange jerseys are ugly, but we will get new ones next week.

We have two teams, the JV  (2. team)and the Varsity team (1. team). The younger soccer kids are playing JV and the best soccer players are playing Varsity. We had a game against Forest Hills.  The coach decided to give me the chance to play both games, the first one was JV. I came late and so I had to wait 20 minutes after I had the chance to give my best. The game was awful and Forest Hills had 2 goals and we 0. After 3 minutes, we had a corner and i scored my first goal. 5 minutes later, I made an assist and the score was 2:2. After the halftime, we were better and I played the whole game. 10 minutes before the end of the game, we scored the 3:2 and Fortest Hills scored 40 seconds later the 3:3. 2 minutes before the final whistle, Forst Hilles scored the 3:4 and another minute later,I scored my second goal, and we played 4:4. All in all was the game awful, the German soccer is much harder then the American. I was done after 65 minutes running.. I played central mid, it is the best position, you are behind the strikers and in front of the defense in the middle.

But my coach wanted to see me at Varsity and I did it. And the Varsity team is excellent !!! He gave me a break for 60 minutes, after that I got in. At this moment the score was 9:0 for Somerset Golden Eagles haha :D.

It was no big deal, but I got replaced at the central midfield, and scored the 10th goal. Remember, it was my first soccer game and I scored 3 times and made 1 assist. Not bad haha :DI was in the newspaper today, so everyone knows me after 1 week haha 😀

Today was a boring day, studying, studying, studying.. I came home at 6 o’clock and we ate Roast Beef. But the evening was good, me and my sister Alix went to a „fireplace“ to meet friends, have fun, eat something and just relax. A fireplace is like the house of one student, and all of our friends meet there. We do it 2-3 times a week, I LOVE IT 🙂

Tomorrow, I must write 2 tests.. Sports&Marketing and English Reading test, it’s hard because of the english explanations, but I will give my best haha. BUT, I will leave school at 1:45 pm, because we have an away soccer game. We play against Central Chumerland or kind of this, it’s not far away though, but I like it. We got a Somset – Soccer Tshirt today, we have to wear them at school, because everyone should see that we have a game. It’s like, everytime a team has a game, they wear stuff of theit team. Is it a home game, they werde their jerseys, is it an away game they have to dress up or wear the team – Tshirt. 🙂

On Friday we will have another „Fire“ and the at the weekend I will go to the track with my brother and do some runs and doing other things like studying 😦 Next weekend is going to be great, a friend of my hostmum has tickets for the Penn-State game ( Penn State is a College in Pennsylvania, so it’s College Football). That is all for the moment.

See ya 🙂

Happy Labor Day

Sooo heute war Labor Day, das ist sowas wie ein beweglicher Feiertag. Wir waren shoppen in greensburgh, weil da die größten Sport shops sind.

Als erstes waren wir beim größten Dicks hier in der Nähe, das ist sowas wie Intersport oder sowas, man bekommt da sehr viel. Ich hab mir da erstmal neue Fussballschuhe geholt, Nike Hypervenom in Orange. Dann sind wir zum 2. Dicks gefahren, weil man hier Schienbeinschoner braucht, wo die eigene größe draufsteht, richtig unnötig aber naja. Dann waren wir in der Mall, dort hab ich dann so einen Nike sportsbag, den benutzt man hier in der Schule und zum Sport. Normal kosten die 25$, ich hab 13 bezahlt 😀 Dann gabs Nike Socken, diese Langen, eigentlich kosten 4 paare 22$, ich hab für 6 paare 12$ bezahlt haha 😀 Dann waren wir bei Hollister, American Eagle und Old Navy. Die Sachen sind mega gut, aber da hab ich nicht gekauft, weil wir am 15. November ( ja ich weiss es sind noch 2 Monate) gehen wir nach Washington D.C zu meiner Tante und dann gehen wir zum Premium Outlet, das ist eines der größten. Danach waren wir im Pittsburgh Steelers & Pirates Shop ( Baseball und Football Mannschaft), wo ich für 5$ ein T-shirt der Pittsburgh Steelers für 5$, ein Hoodie für 40$ statt 90$ bekam und für hammerharte 12$ (!!) ein Nike – Trikot von den Pittsburgh Steelers bekommen hab, das kostet in Deutschlang 120€. Ja ich liebe es hier 😀

Dann waren wir im BESTEN Steak House das es gibt ❤ Ich hab den Namen vergessen, aber es war soooo geil 😀

Ich hatte das Chicken Parmesan Crust with Mac&Chesse and Baked Potato. Es war sooo gut !! Mac & Cheese ist eines meiner Lieblingsessen geworden 🙂

Dann waren wir zuhause, ich hab das ganze Wochenende und heute gelernt, dazwischen war ich Fußball spielen und in Greensburgh. Ein sehr gutes Wochenende geht zuende, Morgen ist Schule 😀

In 17 Tagen hat mein Bruder Geburtstag, wir werden warscheinlich in einen Wasserpark gehe. entweder in einen in Pittsburgh oder in Ohio in der Nähe von Cleveland 🙂

Nachdem ich ein sandwich als Lunch hatte, hatte ich noch  Stunden unterricht und danach Soccer Practice. Es war gut, anders als in Deutschland aber gut. Ich bekomm am Dienstag meine „uniform“. Also ein Trikot, 2 Hosen, Stutzen, ne Tasche und ein T-shirt. Ich habe am Dienstag auch mein erstes Spiel gegen Forest Hills. Ich spiel entwede im JV Team ( 2. Mannschaft) oder Varsity (1. Mannschaft). Ich werde später aufjedenfall in der 1. spielen, nur beim 1. Spiel muss er schauen wieviele er zur verfügung hat, Unsere Trikots sind Weiß und da steht drauf, “ Somerset Golden Eagles“. An jedem Heimspiel, muss man egal ob soccer, football oder basketball, sein trikot in der Schule anziehen. 🙂 Ich bin dann um 17:30 Uhr zuhause.

Um 11 waren wir zuhause und dann gings ins Bett. Heute gabs erstmal wieder Pancakes zum frühstück ( normalerweise ess ich Cereals mit Obst). Dann gibgs nach Berlin, ja es gibt hier eine stadt die Berlin heißt und da gabs ein Warehouse. Es ist ein bisschen wie ein Outlet store, aber es ist noch billiger und die hatten mehr als eine Marke. Sie hatten Abercrombie, Under Armour, DC, American Eagle, Hollister, Aeropostale, und noch etwas mehr. Ich hab mir dann erstmal ein Sweatshirt von Abercrombie, 4 T-shirts von American Eagle, 2 Shorts von under Armour und eine shorts von Aeropostale geholt. Ich hab 120$ bezahlt, also so 95€. In deutschland kostet der Abercrombie Pulli alleine 98€ haha 😀
