Seattle

Hey!

So in the middle of November Tessa, Mike and I were in Seattle.
First we went up to the observation deck of the Spaceneedle.

I really love Seattle! It is a really nice and relaxed city.
We went next to the Pike Place market and it is really big! It has several floors and you can buy so many different things.

You could buy fresh fish there!

 

Now Seattle has a "piece of us" too

Then we went to the Aquarium!

 
I was also able to see my first Hockeygame. We lost unfortunately (3-5), but it was a lot of fun!
 
 
 
 On the next day we decided to do a duck tour. It is so much fun and I would definitely recommend it to everybody.
 
 

We also took a look on the University Campus but only from the car.
Then we went back home. It was a great weekend.

The week after this we went with our Local Coordinator to Seattle, but unfortunately none of the other exchange stundents came.

We were at the world's first Starbucks, but we didn't go in.

 
We were also in the Museum of Mordern Art and in the library. Then we saw the Fermont Troll ;)
 
After that we went to a place where you can see whole Seattle and then we went back to Deming.
 
In general I can say I really love Seattle and everybody that gets a chance to go there should take it!

Months later....

Hey guys!

I am so sorry that I didn't write for months. Actually I didn't think I would write here again, but right now I feel like it and maybe I will be able to write more often from now on.

I have been to several football games in the last months and our team made it to the state championship. Even though we didn't win the game, it was the best year since a long time for our football guys and we all were proud of them.

There was also our homecoming game and the homecoming dance afterwards, what was a lot of fun.

 We were also with Mike for two days in Seattle. One week after that we were with our Local Coordinator Seattle, so I am going to do another post about all of this.

During the Fall Season Tessa and I were in Stagecrew for Drama. This season ended for us with the performance of the play "A Man Who Came To Dinner". It was actually a good play. Since we needed to do something for the Winter Season. We decided to participate in the Musical "Grease". Tessa and I somehow ended both up in chorus. The first performance is at the end of this week and we aren't ready at all, but I hope it will be good.

Then there was of course Thanksgiving. We had dinner at the house of the sister of our previous hostmother and it was pretty good.

Then in the beginning of December we changed hostfamily and I really love it here.
Tessa, Ian (my younger hostbrother) and me were building a snowman

We experienced typical American Christmas with Stockings, opening presents on the 25th and ham for Christmas dinner.
We got our own stockings <3

Since our Semester ended on Friday, we have tomorrow no school, even though we have drama rehearsal from 11 am to like 5 pm.

I will change my subjects pretty much in the second semester, but I am going to write that in the next post, when I am sure that I will really change them like I plan to.

Best wishes and I will try to write soon again,
Lena <3
