Hey guys :)
Here some news from me, now that my internet is working again *happy*
The first school week was really relaxing.. like everything here :D
On the first day at school we did organisation stuff, got to know the school, talked to some kiwis and made our timetable.
The next day we went to a sheep farm (Sheep World, what else?! xD) and saw one of the shows. How you catch the sheep (with dogs), sort :D and shear them, and we were allowed to feed the lambs *_*
Because we still had time we went in the bush :D
Palms and differnet trees and tropical plants all mixed together :D and it just looks so amazing... sadly all of the pictures are blury because we were half stumbling and sliding over the bridges and tracks ;)
Sometimes you had the feeling of beeing in the tropical rain forest :D and these huuuuge Kauri trees.. aww I just loove this nature ^^
Then on wednesday was our first school day. In the first two hours we went with our buddies through the school (it's soo easy to get lost there :D).
School starts at 8.40am (40 min later than home in Germany) with a 20 min Form Class... sounds interesting?! Hmm.. not really.... if you don't have nice and funny people to talk to ;)
The teacher strats the PPP (Daily Notices) for the day which includes Informations about sports, events and regular school life.
You actually just sit around being bored, talking or nearly sleeping :P
From there the lessons of 1 hour (45 min in Germany) each starts until Interval and later on Lunch.
After 5 hours (of lessons), school is finished at 3.15pm.
After that we mostly go to the beach or walk home straight away.
Around half six/ seven we have dinner, where we chat a little bit (next to eating of course) and after that I already go to bed...
That's how fast a day passes by, then its's weekend and the next we is gone as well.... way to fast.
I can't believe it since today it's already 3 weeks that I'm away from home and in 2 days it's 3 weeks in NZ. From then it's around 12 Month and I'm flying home again.... but that time is not yet.
After I changed my timetable two to three times I have Maori (language of the natives), Art, Catering (cooking and garnishing), Food Tech (cooking and nutritions), Dance (a bit like ballet and free dance), Creative Pattern Making (Fashion, making your own cloth) and New Zealand Studies.
So just fun subjects, that pass by so fast.
In New Zealand Studies we're going surfing on the Westcoast (where the best waves are) and I'm really looking forward to that :)
We have A and B Week here so that the subjects are devided equaly. In Week A we have Year Assembly for me Year 12 and in Week B we have House Assembly. The school has five houses: Blake, Mc Laren, Sheppard, Batten and Nepia (my house), like in Harry Potter :D They're named after famous Kiwis :D
The lessons are really relaxing compared to school in Germany... ;) And the teachers are really easy - going as well.
But school is so much fun, especially if you get to know so many different people: we have Spanish, Brazialan, Italian peolpe, a French guy, a Swedish girl, lots of Japanese, my Czech friend and a few (or more) Germans.
So a good mix next to all the Kiwis.
My hostfamily is still amazing :) The food is sooooo yummy and I'm always eating to much -.-
Therefore I'm going to look for some sport and will go to the gym at school.
The weather is not that bad anymore and it was just raining for two days (in two weeks :D) and it's hopefully getting warmer in the next time, because usually spring starts in September over here (when autumn starts in Germany), we'll see ;)
Hmm.. sadly I was homesick in the last two weeks.. not a really pleasant feeling :( but I already managed to survive one month, how hard can another 12 be??
I already feel home here in my crazy little world (don't worry I still miss my German friends and family ;)).
Last weekend my friend and I went to the Mall, shopping of course :D But we couldn't find the busstop when we wanted to go home, so in the end we had to wait 45 min... Typically us :D
So I don't know what else to say... just going to bed... I need way more sleep here than at home *yawn* Good night!
