Circus!

This evening I went with my grandma to the circus! It was pretty amazing... There were acrobats and animals and lots of other crazy stuff. We weren't allowed to take pictures though.

I'm going to miss being in a big city where things like big circuses and the like travel to... There aren't enough people in Montana to make it worth their while, which I think is a shame. 

Update!

Hiiii!

I've been super bad at posting regularly, and I apologize for that...

I'm sick today!:( I don't know if I'm going to school tomorrow or not, we'll have to see. Oh well. 

Choir performances!

So basically I had choir performances Wednesday, Thursday, and twice on Friday, which meant I got to miss a lot of school on those days.

I had a solo, and it went perfectly every time! Yay:)

After the concert everyone got a rose, and two boys in my class gave me theirs, which was really sweet. I don't know what we're going to do in choir the rest of the year, though. We have school until July...

I BROKE IT

I actually have an excuse for not blogging today, and that excuse is that I broke my phone charger. I managed to kind of fix it, but it only charged when I taped it completely flat... So I get to go buy a new charger today, which means I'll have two USB to wall adaptors for European outlets..?? Whatever shall I do with them when I leave? #firstworldproblems

But anyways, today I did homework and math and helped my grandma around the house some. We also went to a friend of my grandparents for the afternoon:)

Aaaaand then I stayed up skyping Stephanie and texting two other people until 1 am, whoops

rainy day

Today I woke up (relatively) early and ate breakfast and helped my grandma around the house. It was super rainy so I also was inspired to do some drawing. :)

So that was fun, and then my grandparents went to a wedding of an old friend so I had the house to myself all afternoon and evening.. So I played piano for an hour and a half and watched a Disney movie because I was feeling nostalgic. Basically a perfect lazy weekend day. 

82 degrees and being crafty

Okay I take back what I said yesterday about it being hot. Today was 10 degrees warmer?! It's a little crazy. 

Today during class I was noticing how nice everyone is to each other and how so much more of it is genuine than at Flathead. Which I'm going to miss so much. Switzerland really has this school system thing down with the separate schools for smarter people and the neat class system. Ah well. 

Also after school I got a lil crafty and decided to sew my pants to be skinnier and shorter. I can never find skinny jeans that fit me because I have a wide waist but skinny calves and really short legs. So I fixed my new jeans! 💪🏻

71 degrees and Google+?

It was soooo hot today. Most of the time the weather is a few degrees warmer than in Montana, but apparently not today. 

I watched a YouTube video about Google+ and remembered that I have one because I have a gmail address... So I went on the page and it says I have 29,000 views?! I literally posted nothing on there except that I was "soon to have survived middle school :D". (Which I find hilarious.) However, apparently I was a dumb middle schooler, because my cell phone and part of my address was on there. Whoops. Don't put your personal info on the Internet, kids!

Grass, man

Today was Mother's Day! Happy mom day to all the wonderful moms out there. :)

Today I did homework and watched a movie that I've been meaning to watch for forever, The Devil Wears Prada. I vaguely remember reading the book a few years ago, but I had forgotten the plot. It was an ok movie I suppose. 

But I got to skype with my friend for three hours. I miss Montanans. 

Something funny that I noticed while walking today was that the lawns here are much less fancily kept than the classic American lawn. Most open spaces look like this here:

Which I think is very pretty and very energy-conscious. (I can't English anymore, the word I'm looking for is Energie-sparend but I seem to have forgotten the English meaning) No extra watering is required (sprinklers can make up to 50% of a house's water bill!), and you don't have to spend the time or pay someone to mow it all the time! Plus there are literally flowers everywhere, which is just generally easier on the eyes. 

Shopping & pics & Oreos

Today I went shopping in Zurich! I actually even found a pair of jeans that fit me! Woo🎉

I also met a friend and we wandered around Zürich and I played photographer. It was super fun, especially because afterwards we went to the English bookstore and found double triple Oreos. Which are freaking amazing. 

Half day & sprinkle photography

Today we had a half day like every Wednesday, and the weather surprised everyone by being super rainy in the morning and super sunny in the afternoon. I went to a friend's house after school to hang out & study, and we saw a picture idea on Pinterest... Which resulted in us doing this: 

Which I think is really neat. :) 

Choir day:)

Today I got to miss most of school for choir practice, which was really fun. Then I came home, spent a while helping my grandma sort through photos on her laptop, did homework and now it is almost midnight & I must sleep. Oops. Good night! 

Woop Monday:)

It rained almost all day today it was so gorgeous!

(Can you see the little splashes of the raindrops on the windowsill?)

I actually woke up at 6:45 cause it was so bright! I'm so glad summer is coming and it'll be brighter longer. :)

School again

School starts tomorrow & I really am not ready... I don't want to go back to waking up early! My sleep schedule is so off because when I can I go to sleep between 12 and 3 am and sleep until 10. Oops. 

I've also decided I'm not going to blog every day, because the last few posts I decided are too boring. All I do over breaks is homework, sleep, watch movies, take pictures, and tumblr. And I don't want my posts to be boring... Quality over quantity! 

Hopefully I can get to sleep at a reasonable hour... Good night!

P.S. Here are some pics I've taken the past couple of days/weeks that I'm proud of:)
