Hi!

First of all thank you so much for all the mails I got from you. I read some of them on Wednesday morning during Advisement in the school library and I was trying so har not to laugh out loudly at Mama´s or Clemens´ mails. Thanks guys, that totally made my day.

The weather changed very quickly from about 20° C to 6°C. It is really cold! I was complaining about the weather being so chilly and rainy and Jamie was laughing at me, because I considered 8°C as cold. They are Canadian, so he told me in Canada when it got this "warm", he´d wear shorts. Well.

Since the last blog posting so many things happened again, it gets harder and harder to keep you on track!

The first quarter of my Senior Year at High School ended and I got good grades.
I have an A (98.7%) in my English class, which is Young Adult Literature and Composition, an A (97.5 %) in Theatre III, 100% in both Shape up and Women´s Select Choir, bot A´s in US history and Contmporary World Issues and a B in Trigonometry (I can so live with that!).

When people would watch me living my every day life, they probably wouldn´t understand why I say it is an adventure. I have 1-2 hours homework every day, wake up at 6 o´clock in the morning and I run Cross Country for fun :) I don´t go to parties Downtown or live a OC California type of American life.
There are these small things I love. I like the face expression on Kaylah´s face when I knock on the door and I love it when we do our insider jokes.
(Just imagine Kaylah and me in the crowded hallways of Ponderosa High, walking towards each other, stretching one leg into the air and yelling: "Gender!", or "Flip the boot!".)
I love evenings with my family, even if that means watching scary movies.
Yes, The Happening WAS scary.
I love talking to Sydney and the way we painted our faces for the race in Leadville. I love when I just sit here on my desk and look outside and see the lights of the city down there and the Rocky Mountains. I love running together with Sydney. I love having Lunch with Lauren and having fun with Valentina, the nicest Italian person in the whole world and my favourite Valentina ever. I like the comfy chair in my room! Thank you so much Zack! I love ice skating with Emma and Jamie. And I love showing pictures of all my German friends to Kaylah and listening to her comments.
("Wow, Insa, this girl has really intense eyebrows^^!")
And I love practising Maths with Kaylah. I explained sin cos and tan to her in a right triangle and then we made up some math probems. It was so much fun. I drew a triangle and named one corner Orlando Bloom, one Kaylah and one Insa. The question was: whose way to Orlando is longer? :)

Our Choir Concert is coming up next Thursday and I´m already so excited!

Thursday nght I watched the first Theatre play of our school: Madwoman of Chaillot. It was really good, I can´t wait until we are going to do "Pride and prejudice" in the end of the school year.

I´m also looking forward to watching High School Musical 3! It´s coming up on October 24th! and then Twilight the movie is gonna be released in December... and I´m going to watch The Dutchess. My friends and I are going to paint some shirts for watching Twilight together. Mine will say: Team Jacob- because real men don´t sparkle! A bunch of Edward fans shouldn´t get too denfensive.

I started loving Yoga, too. Some time ago I went to my first Yoga class and it was exhausting, but lots of fun.


I miss you.
