Friday! Week 10!

Happy Halloween!

Sadly, most people don't celebrate Halloween here in Switzerland. I think that is massively depressing.

I decided to have a little fun and do my eye makeup in zebra-print and wear a zebra-print shirt, just because.

When I came home there was a gorgeous sunset, so of course I took a picture of that...

I hope everyone has an awesome Halloween!

Pizza snail

Today we had a double lunch because "studium stunde" (study hall/class discussion period) got canceled! And apparently on Thursdays there is a market in the little square where we eat sometimes, so we went there. There was a little stand with bread and such, and I got a "pizza schnack" (pizza snail) which is like pizza in a cinnamon roll shape. And a roll with chocolate bits in it. Yummmm!

Today in p.e. We played basketball, which was super fun once again, because no one here can play. So I'm really good in comparison, which would never happen at home.

But one of my friends was astounded that I'd never had these things called Giotto. So she gave me a whole package of them. :) They're little creme-filled, crushed-hazelnut-covered things. Delicious.

We also had school late. Which means I got home at 6 ish. Meh.

Tomorrow's Friday! Yippee! And Halloween! (I'll be talking about Halloween in tomorrow's post-I'm doing something)

I love Wednesdays

And I know why^^^ because I only have a half day of school!

Today we also got to go to school an hour later-which was awesome. Although I did wake up too early on accident. But have no fear. I fell right back asleep. 

After school I had my german class like I do every Wednesday. It was okay. 

Then I came home, did homework, studied, played piano, and now I'm going to bed. :)

Tonight was also "Eltern-Abend", which means parent's night. So my grandma went and listened to my teachers talk about their subjects and what we are learning. Apparently I got a special mention from my English teacher. Lol. 

The Piano Problem

So I really thought it was Wednesday all day today. I have no clue why... Oh well...

Today I went to school like usual, then came home and made dinner and did homework and played piano for an hour. But I realized that I have no new piano music and it's hard to find free stuff on the internet that's the right skill level and fun to play... So if anyone wants to gift me piano books or music or that sort of stuff for my birthday (13 days!!!) I would love it...:) Music in general is just pretty awesome. Especially Owl City and Taylor Swift.

Also, it's almost my dad's birthday! I made him a card today and hopefully it won't arrive too late. <3 

Happy Fall!

Today I went to school and got two tests back, a Physics and a History test. History I only passed:/, but Physics I got a better grade!:) yay for knowing stuff!

Then I bought an iTunes card so I could buy the new Taylor Swift album, not realizing that to use Swiss francs in the iTunes Store I have to change the country so I can't pay with dollars. So that was annoying. Oh well...

Then I did homework and played piano. So exciting. I'm so happy fall is finally here though! Happy fall!:)

Doing stuff

Today I got up early/ier and wrote a German essay, memorized Spanish vocab, and read a chunk of a german book. Then I ate lunch and went on a "walk" with Lara. Quotation marks because we didn't do much walking, we took pictures. I have a new obsession with taking pictures. I want to steal mom's fancy camera when I get home. :)

I came home and helped my grandma transfer and organize pictures from her camera... Then I ate dinner and Skyped with Rose and Kiley. Not really excited to get up at 6 am tomorrow. At all. 

Mystery fruit

Today I slept in super late and ate lunch, where my grandmother told me that she'd bought this fruit thing because it was on sale. I didn't understand the word so I didn't know what it was until she showed me, and then I was still confused. It was a pomegranate crossed with an apple?!

It tasted sweeter than a normal pomegranate. It was weird. 

I also Skyped with my family after dinner. Thank you so much, Skype, for this amazingly quality service you provide.

Then I went over to Dominic and Lara's because my aunt and uncle went out for dinner and a movie so we had the house to ourselves. We ate ice cream, looked at old baby albums, and danced around. It was fun:)

Friday! Week 9!

Today we had one period of Spanish that got cancelled. It was nice:)

There was a hot air balloon really close to the bus station and I tried to take a picture of of it because it was yellow with a black smiley face drawn on it which was really cute. 

I had 5 minutes at home after school before I had to leave again...  to a party at one of the kids in my class's house. It was fun and I'm super tired cause I got home late. Have you ever had roasted bananas and chocolate? It's really good. :)

(You slice open the banana and put chocolate inside, then wrap the banana in tin foil and put it in ashes and then when the chocolate melts you take it out.)

Swiss cheese awards

Today I didn't get home until 6:30. Ew.

But I saw a wacky advertisement that made me smile and a cat that wouldn't let me pet it. 

Basically a good day. 

Cheerios are just donut seeds

^^^that's your philosophical thought for the day. You're welcome. (Side note: I haven't seen any Cheerios available here. What is wrong, Switzerland?)

Today was another average day, as school will be for the next 9 weeks (until Christmas break). Yayyy.

However, I had my language help class thing after school again today, and I made a new friend. Yippee!
