posting to keep my xanga alive…….

wow i haven’t been here for a long time

and things are quite different since october 2006 (last post) hahaha because i am going to CAMBRIDGE! YES!!!

anyway, i am mainly writing to stop xanga from sending me emails saying: come back chocolate cat, so thats it!

byeeeeeeeeeeeeee maybe i will return to xanga (because i still love my profile) but just not at the moment!

ughhh….my updates have been so irregular…but that’s IB…

i hate IB HATE HATE HATE—it may be the “best pre-college course” (so they claim..) but it’s killing me and blaehhhhhhhhh…although i’m happy because i’ve just finished my last ever math portfolio and it wasn’t as difficult as the others..so YAY!

but stayed up till 5AM working last night….and i still didn’t finish, so i came late to school….and managed to finish everything, even a loong english essay on plath….blehhhh

also submitted by Cambridge University application….they confirmed that they received it and now it’s time for the wait!!! …AHHHHHhhhh…..i hope i’m invited for an interview!!! but i only find out in november….

ME + OLLIE = LOVEEEEE

very happy and all….we see each other so much more this year outside of school, so that’s obviously a good thing!!! YAY….

SATs this saturday….hate them…they are stupiddddddd

but i’m happy now…even though i’m dead tired!

i love oliver

just spent 3 days with him and it was fun fun fun

it is OKTOBERFEST time….YAY (fun…except when you get sick like me! ) but i have someone adorable to take care of me! hehehee

well…i get to wear my pretty dirndl and that is cool

on thursday it was senior skip day….so we didn’t have to go to school!

these past few days felt like a mini-vacation….and now its back to work! bleh….bleh….

sunday night—im late and taking a break from writing annoying personal statemnets for UNIVERSITY!

ahhhhh….i’m already filling out my appplication forms! quite scary…

well i’m def. applying to Cambridge now and this college looks beautiful:

??? ahhhhhhhhh ????

and i got a new phone….very happy with it! it’s so thin only 12.9 mm! yay!

looks kinda like yasemin’s but a different model!

worddd.

finally got some time to update (although i probably should be working) and i’m very sorry that it took so long! i think that this year (at least the beginning of it) will see less of my through xanga, because i seem to never have time to update! but i promise i will try, only if i only write a few sentences!

so, therefore: WARNING THIS WILL BE A LONG BLOG!

i guess i have to start with the summer:

it the shortest summer i’ve ever had, yet it felt like the longest (i think its pretty much obvious why ) the first 10 days i was in lovely Boston and Lincoln, MA! i really loved being “home” and doing all sorts of random things i missed, like shopping in harvard square and going to marshall’s and eating brigham’s ice cream in concord!  but a highlight was definately seeing some friends which i had seen in YEARS, like since 8th grade. i saw my lovely rachel, KATE, julia, alexa, allie, and ZARA! it was so surreal seeing them all drive…haha…when i think back to 4th grade (or kindergarten in Zara’s case) of course i saw the usual as well: nicky and nader! and talked to them a bit, hehe, esp. nader about all the atrocites of american politics!  i was sad that i could see any of my bb&n friends–melody wasn’t there!  but i really love boston—its a great city! and next summer i’m going to come again and maybe even with oliver (who still needs to see boston and NYC–i must introduce him!)

and of course i saw the family: little maya, ben, and the cute TINY baby, Talia!  we had a very nice “pizza night” at melissa’s house!

then it was off to france for 5 weeks! of course it was beautiful and the weather was really nice (until stef and yas came! ) most days it was really hot in the high 30′s and the pool was wonderfully cool. and i was with my little MADALINA! love her very much–she’s like my baby sister…hehe….we spent many days tanning by the pool! at the beginning it was just the family and we went out to restaurants—it was peaceful! then all of a sudden about 15 people came at the same time…and kept coming! at the peak, there were 20 people staying in the house and 23 for dinner one night!

it was more lively when friends came…but i also had to work some! it got a bit boring in the middle…and of course i desperately missed someone! because there isn’t that much to do around there…but oh well! but then STEF AND YASEMIN came!!!!  it was really cool because at some point there were 7 teenage girls (although geli was 20—but o well!) and we played games and stuff! blehhhehehehee fun fun

then we came back to munich and i was VERY HAPPY to see my wonderful boy again, who gave me a cute teddybear and is very nice! i’ve been talking to him so much and spending a lot of with him at school—i’m glad i have him because he will help me get through senior year! AHHHHhh

I’M A SENIOR!!! never thought this day would come…it feels so weird to be at the top…hahahaha…no one above us! of course means A LOT of work…with IB (FUCKKKKkkk HATE IT!!!) and college apps! i really think i will die of stress this year…i came in to the first day of school and already had 2 essays assigned! is that normal??!?! and tons of SAT prep with a private college counselor and the application to Cambridge! AHhhaha…too much!  but i guess it must all work out in the end!

so i’ve been at school for 2 weeks….so BLAH! its been kinda relaxed because we had the grade retreats at the end of the second week, so we didn’t do that much before…not much homework (but then on the back of your mind are all these important IB deadlines…nooooo) and MIS can really be a messed up place…i mean they didn’t even start making the schedules until the day before school started!  so they were SO MESSED UP!! i was in 2 english classes and not in any math class! then they wanted me to switch to the other english class and the other math class for NO reason….just cuz stupid kurbis doesn’t teach us anymore….and he’s the best teacher!  but they put me back after i said: “I WANT MY OLD CLASSES!” hehe…im lucky that the office lady likes me!

then the first weekend——Oliver came over! on fridays we get out early so we went into starnberg and went to san fran coffee with phillip. then he came over to my house and we played foozball and watched lots of movies…ermm..hhehehe and the next morning it was a nice day, so we walked outside on this random field…

then at the end of week (thursday and friday) we had the grade retreats—bleh…ours was pretty much boring because on the first day we went to……MUNICH…..like we’ve never been there before! and all we did was walk around in groups (assigned! ) and had to find examples of math, sceince, art, service…blah blah…at least we gave some bread to a beggar woman! on the whole though, BORING!!

but friday was much better! the morning was horrible, but then we went BOWLING!  i love bowling…hadn’t been for ages…and i wasn’t that bad! i got a few strikes…hehehee…and with the whole grade, it was fun!

avalon and jakob

ollie and me (kinda weird pic…o well…)

bernhard, tobi, alex, jeronimo

then friday night was awesome too—me and ollie first went to eat at this chinese restaurant, wok and roll (heehee) and it was very good…lots lots of chinese people ate there (so that’s a good sign!) but they had this really yummy all you can eat buffet! then after we went to THE ARC….yes so the last time i was there, it was amazing and….well…tipsyyyish….so much fun!

well it was Adrian’s 18th party and everyone was invited, so there were quite a few people, which was good because it made things funny, esp the kareoke!! hahaha….ok…so JORIS (remember stef and yas—he’s that WEEIIRRRDDD guy who is a big annoying loser) well joris got really drunk (first time ever ever) and SANG!! i will never ever forget that…it was hysterical! and a close second: PHILIP sang too!! he’s nerd, genius boy! ahahaha…and he sang “shake your tailfeather” funny funny! even i sang!  but not alone…i sang with luce–we sand aerosmith’s “don’t want to miss a thing.” funny funny….

after i went to ollie’s house at midnight and we watched movies till like 3 am…and that was fun too! of course!

and now i miss him—i was there till 1 pm…waaaaaaa

today i also had SAT math prep and it wasn’t bad at all because the teacher is pretty cool and funny! so that’s good…since im going to have to do a lot!

well that’s my life for now! STRESS! but am determined to have a fun senior year with the friends that i love and that i will be very sad to leave at the end of this year!

word.

got home yesterday night….happy happy happy!!

its late and i have school tomorrow….so im too lazy to update

summer was good….miss MYS

and i saw OLLIE TODAY!! happiest moment ever….hehehee

more later—plus pics

hum dee dum

random pics from this weekend…

ayaka’s party

oliverrrr

don’t want school tomorrow and exam grades

but i also have a driving lesson!!

YES!!!

im so happy….i still have two exams but they are the easiest….and the hardest ones (history, math, bio, and english) are DONE!!!

i’ve just been sooo relaxed…i mean apart from the exams, exam time is nice cuz you have so much free time to hangout afterwards with people (especially speccciaaall people )

but i definately deserve this break! bleh…still hate the person who came up with the retarded schedule!  history was first, and the source analysis sucked (i got a 6 though…but i thought the sources were hard to analyse) then math (which was pretty easy but very long…so near the end i was rushing) and then bio which went much better than expected (haha…that’s what i always think but it turns out to be bad….) and english this morning which i’m always uncertain about! 2 essays in 2 hours…not so much fun…i’ve come to realize that english is one of the hardest subjects. we have to analyse an unseen piece and then write an essay about alll the books we’ve read! (blah blah)

but now i’m DONE!! (just german and french)

on friday, after my bio exam, i went into munich and met ollie. we had pizza and since it was the first game of the World Cup, we wanted to see it, but all the places were full! so we went into a shopping center and watched it in the TV section….ahaha  GERMANY WON!!!  can’t wait till i actually go to a real game! jmo was soooo lucky….he won tickets to the first game in a raffle…grrrrr but we didn’t actually wait till the end…we went to the cinema and finally saw:

well there’s a lot to say—the book had a great story and i loved how everything tied together and made sense, but i thought the writing was terrible! its the kind of book that could be a great movie. and it was pretty good. i don’t think it deserved the harsh criticism it received at all…the actors (tom hanks, audrey tautou, ian mckellen) are the best in the world…so they were obviously good! and it was faithful to the book…so why is everyone complaining???

then my weekend was very very lazy…my parents came back from france and i just watched movies all weekend…i just needed a break from studying! and of course i watched the england-paraguay match…but england should have played better!! what were they doing??  ok so one nice goal in the first 4 minutes….but then?? its awesome having the world cup in germany…the atmosphere is great!! (esp. in international school)

then today, i had english (bleh bleh) and it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!  summer seems to have FINALLY arrived (its been raining for weeks…and its been cold) and today it was hot (30!!) and sunny…and is supposed to remain so!!  ollie and i went into starnberg after exams and just lounged around by the lake…it was so much fun!  

tomorrow…we’re just gonna do the same thing…heheheee…yay

i love her…she makes me happy

life.

is.

good.

im fine im fine im fine im fine

this is pure procrastination

taking stef’s and melody’s examples….i will not update till the 10th of june (hahaa that only like 5 days away….) because i will have gotten my history, math, and bio exams out of the way! after i only have english, german, and french…but who needs to study for those?

so need to study stupid stupid logarithims….hate them!!!
