My new
trimester is so easy, so perfect for my last few months here.
2 weeks ago
was our Tri out week for lacrosse. In Germany lax (Short form for lacrosse)
isn´t common so it was wired to play with a lax stick and ball. You also need
to wear really attractive goggle and a moth guard… I tried out for defense man
but I also said that I would play goalie. The first days we only had to do 4
drills like catching, running backwards, running zick-zack with ball and stick
and running straight with ball and stick. On Tuesday we actually played against
each other the whole time and on Wednesday we went outside and had to scoop the
ball, throw it and catch it. At the end we all had to run/sprint a 400m which
was so bad, because we are all out of shape and it was around 3°C.

The other
days we played again against each other and on Friday we found out what team we
make. I am the B-squad goalie, because no one wants to be goalie. I like being
s-squad because we have the nicest coach and 3 of my friends are on my team.
Last week
we already practiced every day after school, but we can´t go outside, because it
started snowing again!!! So we practiced inside and I get hit by all the balls,
when I try to safe them. I already have 3 bruises (blaue flecken) on my lag and
it doesn´t look well and it hurts.

So today I just
want to look good, because today is the most important day in the life of an American
teenager! It’s PROM!!!
Some girls
at my school are seriously crazy about it and they buy dresses for $ 700… I think
that’s too much for a dress that I will wear only once. While I was dress
shopping I found some super cute dresses but some were ugly. A lot of stores
have super puffy Barbie dresses and you seem like a princess in them. For me it
was hard to find dresses, because I am not a size 2 so all these cute dresses
wouldn´t fit me at all!
I found my
dress about 2 weeks ago I am in love with it! It is not the original color I wanted
but it has an interesting back and I just love it!
For prom
you should have a date, because one of my friends asked me with tea. Here I am basically
the only one that rinks tea, so some people make fun of me (In a nice way).
Prom is
almost like a wedding so you buy a garter, flower and nice shoes. You get
nails, hair and makeup done and then you take a whole bunch of pictures with a
group, your partner and alone.

I am so
excited for all of that and I am almost ready.
My plan for
today will be:
Take shower
Get nails
done
Get hair
done
Put dress
on
Take pictures
Go out to
eat
And go to
prom
It’s going
to be a long day, so I will relax for a while and then I will start my PROM
day!
Love you
all and you will see some pictures of me!

By the way I
can watch champions league here!
