Used my amazingly large shower today :). It was awesome. I could see and everything cause theres a light in there. And it doesn't flood within the first five minutes. It doesn't flood at all! lol And theres like 6 different showerheads. Crazy right? So now I'm just chillin. I'm staying home for new years tonight. One of my brothers is in london right now for new years and will be back on sunday. The other brother is throwing a 'small' party of sixty people in some other place that isn't home lol. Apparently the brother that is in london usually has a big party of about 500-1000 people in that same place, but since hes in london the other brother is taking it over this year. Then my host sister is having a 'few' friends over. Meaning 30 friends and it's a party in our garage lol. So I'm just gonna stick around the house. Hang around the garage and talk to people. Should be fun. I'll straighten up my hair and look pretty. Happy new years eve everyone!! A whole lot has changed for me since 2009. It feels like forever ago. Hope you guys had an amazing year and a better next year. I should probably decide on my new years resolution huh? Wish me luck!

All moved in! I have all my clothes unpacked...but the rest can wait lol. This house is sooo nice. They have a sauna.... lol I have the basement pretty much to myself. My room is huge with two couches and a chair and a table and a tv. Plus my bed and desk and night table and cabinets for my clothes. I don't have wifi in my room yet, but will soon I think. And the family is just so nice :). The parents don't speak any english, but thats ok cause I speak enough deutsch to get by and when i dont understand my siblings help cause they do speak it. I get along with them really well. I can sleep in here and the meals arent all prompt and stuff. So I can sleep more and dinner is just kinda when you want cause their hot meal is at lunch. I even get to sleep an extra hour on school days cause I don't have to catch a bus. And they might have a bike that will fit me....hopefully. Its my host sisters old one from when she was smaller..... lol

My massive headache took its time going away. When I layed down last night it was still there and I almost felt a little woozy in my bed. I woke up this morning and my headache was still there, with lots and lots of drainage, and I felt really woozy. Almost dizzy like. Thats never happened to me before, but it seems to be ok right now. Maybe it's nerves. I have everything packed and ready to go. Today so far has gone by pretty slow. I thought it would take alot more time than it has to get everything done. Now I'm just waiting for my hair to dry so I can straighten it up and put on my makeup. Then everything will officially be done.

Big car is back! whew I'm safe :) Wicked was amazing of course. The props and costumes and everything were so so awesome. You could tell a ton of money went into it and the acting and singing and dancing were very very impressive. I wanted to take a picture of the set before the production started, but Rebekka said it wasn't allowed....as everyone around us took pictures...sorry guys. gotta follow the rules lol drinking a cherry coke and hoping it helps make my massive headache go away. Got that from the dumb people behind us that wouldn't stop wooing and talking. They didnt talk during the performance, but they were really annoying beforehand and during break. My headache was so bad from it, I had to fight to keep control of myself from snapping at them. And it was actually a really hard fight too. But my better side won so it's ok.

Alrighty!!! Wicked today :) I'm leaving at 4 for Oberhausen. Lunch is at 1:30. I have a feeling it's gonna be a late night, but I'm not actually sure. I'm super duper excited lol. Guess I gotta finish everything today. Cause the big move is tomorrow at 3 I think. And apparently we only have the little cars....I'm not sure how that's gonna work with my huge suitcases....Not the smartest thinking on my host parent's part. Maybe I'll get lucky and we'll have the big car again by tomorrow?

So I'm kinda getting nervous for this move lol. Didn't think I would, but I guess it's just cause it's something new. I know it's gonna be fine though. Did almost all of my packing today. Now I'm just waiting on some laundry and then finishing touches. After that I went to Borken and went shopping with some of my christmas money. Bought stuff like a straightener, a toothbrush, two pairs of tights, a casual everyday kind of dress, leg warmers, a new purse that matches stuff, and I think that's all. Maybe a couple more small things. I was lucky. There were some sales going on :). Then I came home, had dinner, walked eika, and downloaded my pictures to facebook. Tomorrow is Wicked!!!

Ok went to Hartmut's Mom's house today. Alot more people at this one. At one point they all broke into some sort of song....it was crazy. They were all in perfect harmony and it was completely random, but really really good. Spontaneous singing...lol they sounded literally like a choir it was so good. I ended up playing with the little kids for alot of it today. Much better than just sitting there twittling my thumbs while the adults talk. They grandma even gave me a present :) same thing as all the other older kids. I got a chocolate bar and a red hand towel. Why? I have no idea.
