i had a great weekend! i actually totally forgot to tell you that i met two guys from switzerland! i thought that's hella cool and we spoke with each other about the difference from USA and switzerland.. it feels great because they see the way i see it and they go thruth the same thing ... their names are fabian and david, and they're doing a working year at the blue lakes. at a kitchen.. sadly their work isn't that great and they have problems.. so they decided to go back earlier. well my hostfather and i decided to invite them to dinner and watch the footbalgame. and it was pretty cool and interesting.. it feels great not to be the only one from switzerland. it supports me.

this week is finals week!! nooo! i'm not looking forward for that. that means that we're going to have a big test in each class.. it's going to start tomorrow. and today i had a presantation about switzerland in US history. it was quit fun to do it because the student where all very interested and  curious about everything. i showed picture where i live and where i go to school, the matterhorn of course, the trains we travel, my family, the food and alot more. at the end i made a little quiz about switzerland and the price was toblerone choclate. :)

i'm sitting in computer class and so far i'm having a great day!

love and hugs, lisa

alright today we had to cheer for the girls basketball players and i actually was in the stunt! so that means someone had to lift me up and i was on top of her. kinda wierd to explain that but ya. i was just on her shoulder.. our couach said that i would be ready to be on the high v. that means two girls would have to grab me on my shoes and lift me up! pictures will be up soon!

so today i got a package from my wonderful friend rebecca, i was so excited about it. she just knows what i love and want! :)
tomorrow, courntey and i planned to go jogging! how exciting is that! :)

aaah, i'm laying in my bed and it feels fresh and clean. today i washed my bed blanket, cleaned up my room, vacuum cleaned, went jogging, walked the dogs, went grocery shopping with michelle and finally watched a good movie. i would say that was a good day! but yesterday was even a better day:

katie, julia, argelia and me decided to go to the ocean.. so we packed our stuff together and katie drove us over the mountains and finally to fort bragg. it felt great to see and smell  the ocean again.. as soon as you arrive at fort bragg, you smell that salty smell from the ocean.  we went to our favourite beach and had a little picknick and just enjoyed the feeling to be free! we also met a old schoold friend who moved away a while ago.. we made alot of pictures with katies new camera, that she got for christmas. it was an unforgattable day not just for me, i think for everybody!

the way to fort bragg.. it's so beautiful how you have to go thruth the forest

i got shotgun ( it means i'm the one who can sit in the front) and katie, the driver!

ready to head down to the beach!

katie the beach girl! :)

i love my friends! julia, me, argelia and katie

julia, katie, eliot, argelia, danin and me

i actually don't had a bad first school day. i think i just have to get use to the "normal life" again. i realized how much i missed my friends! i have to tell you about katie, she's one of my best and closest friends here. i really love her! we have alot in common. for example we listen to the same music and like the same cloths and stuff! that's kinda how we met in school.. we just always told each other that we liked their clothing style and then we started to hang out! and it's been real! ( would michelle say:)) i mean it's just alot of fun with her. in our free time, we really like to drive around with her car and check out the local trifth store, go to the coffe shop, drink a smoothie, go to the lake or just do random things.

for christmas she gave me a big book were i can but all my memories and pictures in it. i thought it is a perfect gift because i love to draw and put pictures together...
