Halftime

I survived Final Exam Week! The finals were actually not as hard as I expected and after that we had a five-day weekend before the second semester starts on Wedneday, so it has been a pretty chill week. (Literally, with wind-chills of -18°F)

On Friday, our Dad took Maya, Quentin and me to see the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. 

Yeah, I am born to be a car model....

Saturday night, I went to see Future Stars, Pioneer High School Theater Guild's newest production (that I wasn't in, because I wasn't feeling like it, but I will be auditioning for the Spring Musical "Rent" next week!) with a friend. The show was amazing - so many talented singers and dancers! I was positively surprised. 

Sunday, I spent the day at home with my little sister. We painted our nails and listened to music in my room and just had fun together and later that night, I had a girl's night/sleepover at my house!                                     

I ♥ These Girls!! 

On the 22nd January, I have been in the Unites States for exactly five months! That is just amazing, it still feels like yesterday, when I first arrived here. And just like I can't believe how long I have actually been here, I don't want to think about how the rest of the time is going to fly and how soon all this is going to be over. I am so glad, that I had this opportunity and if I could go back in time and change things, I swear, I wouldn't. Every single one of my experiences here has been a gift and I wouldn't want to miss any of it! And I know, I will be going back to Berlin and to my old life with very mixed feelings, because of course, I will be so, extremely happy, to be with my friends and biological family again and to be in Berlin and my old school, but I have a second family in Michigan now and new friends and Pioneer High and an second home and it will be like leaving home and my secure environment all over again, just like when I left my home in Germany to come here. 

But oh well, enough sentimental crap. 

Love
