#70 Last days of Term 1, Easter and heaps of Chocolate :)


Happy Easter to Everyone!

Hey guys,

here is the next post :) Time goes so fast I know! I cant believe it is Easter now, it feels like it was Christmas yesterday! So, as you read in the title, we have holidays now, since Friday (friday was the first day – good friday) and this also means that I finished term 1 and my third therm here in Australia .. I CANT BELIVE IT!! It makes me really sad, but I am enjoying every single second – thats for sure!

I also wanted to say (again) how amazing and great my friends are – you are the best!!!! Yes, I mean you Makayla and Ebbey! <3

<3
On monday we are going away for 12 days to the Gold Coast – unbelievable, this is going to amazing! So I am not exactly sure when the next post is going to come, but i'll to to stay in the rhythm, hahah :)

But I stop now, so you can read what happened last week – I tell you one thing - some great stuff!

Tu, March 31st
Three period tuesday today of course again :) First period we had english and we had our english which was the essay about the novel “The day fo the triffids” and the movie “Dead poet Society”. It was alright, achually better that I thought it would be and I wrote 4 pages in 40 min, so all in all pretty happy – lets see what comes out in the end.
Next was business where we just copied some stuff from the board, nothing special.. We had year assembly today, so only year 11 and we got an easter eg, because of easter and stuff, really cool! Ebony, Jade and me are also the only ones who got more than 5 ccs and are on level 6 and we got an invitation for the rewards day on thursday which is watching a movie and some food, yeah! :) And I also got a bigger easter egg, because I have been here every day so far, yeah! :)
My first easter egg :)

It rained pretty heavy in the morning so we had to have recess inside, which means hall for year 11 and 12.
Last period was SLR and we are going to do all the tests again we did at the beginning of the term and see if our fitness has become better or worse or stayed the same. Today we did the sit-up test and I did 60 situps out of 60 – yeah! :)

Having fun in the gym :) 
Makayla, Ebby, ben and me went to Maccas after school and at around 1pm Ebony and me went back to makaylas house :) We had a great time and heaps of fun doing some dancing and stuff, haha :)

At maccas...
Selfie - Ben and me :)
Mikki had driving lessons at 3.30 and they dropped me home, so nice! I had to wait a bit until greg came home because I didn’t have the key and yeah,b ut no probs!

In the arvo I did some maths and then cooked dinner – veal schnitzel, which my hostfamily loves!

We, April 1st - April Fouls Day!
In Business our teacher told us that he had been moved up to a headteacher position but at a differet high school and so he was going to leave the end of this term – tomorrow. We all believed him so much, and in the end he said “April fouls”! Haahha, pretty funny!
Next period was maths and we had our exam – the advanced maths one. IT was so easy, really easy and we all finished after like 30 min and did the whole twice or more, haha :) Hope I didn’t make any silly mistakes..

After recess makayla and I only went to SLR for about 15 min because we then had our Food tec excursion to Teppanyiaki (I don know if I spelled it right). This is a japanese restaurant where they cook infron of you and the throw the food at you and you have to catch it in bowls in stuff – so cool!
They threw f.i. and raw and we had to catch it in our bowls and some people dropped it over the floor or like our teacher over her dress :DD

I tokk some photos of course, haha :)

On the way - Abbey, me, mikki and tara :)
Our table
our food :)
After school I did some Maths study for the extension test tomorrow which is really hard apparently and I haven’t done that much and had some trouble with some question, but we'll see!



I also had band again and like always before the holidays we played a little bit for like 30 min and then had our little part with Chips and lollies and played singstar and different games, always funny!

Thu, April 2nd

So nice in the morning :)
Doing some photography on the way to school :P


Last day of this term today! Whuhuuu HOLIDAYS! But this also means in exactly 4 weeks we'll be at the airport probabl at this time.. But stop, I am NOT thinking about this yet!

I had my Extension maths test in the morning, and it was true, it was a lot harder that th one yesterday, but still alright.
Then we had roll call and then Chemistry first. Sophie wasn’t here today so bec sat next to me :) I think today we were only about 80 or 100 year 11 students, hahah . Anyway, back to chemistry. We got our test back and I am came 1st!!!!! This is sooo cool! I never expected this! :)) Bec came second – well done ! We all got a easter egg and contined our work haha :)
Next was SLR where we did the beep test again and because my legs are still hurting I didn’t do as good as I wanted.. I got 6.9.. :/ But still alright. I took my polaroid camera to school today to get a phot of our SLR crew, hahah :)
Love this class <3


At recess we sat at our table as usual and it was so nice :)
Eb is doing Starstuck this year again - this is the poster :)
Next was business and we did this project thig today – tower building.
WE had to get together in groups of 5 (Jade, Ebony, taylah, Robin and me) and we got 8 boxes, some tape, scissors, green and red paper and 30 min and had to build a tower, which looked good, is high, is stabile and some other things. It was so much fun and a pretty good business lesson. An the best thing was that we even won – by one point haha :)
Eb and me :P
:)

The winning team :) And sir in the background :D
Next eperiod would have been food tech but ebony and me got to go the reward thing. We got an icy pol and some popcorn and watched “Big Hero6” in the hall. We left at the start of lunch though to say bye and have god holidays to everybody :)

Sitting in the hall 
our food
Last period was maths and I was so surprised we got our results form the test from yesterday and even today back – wow! Bu yeah, he only had to mark 6 test each haha :)
I got 96% in the Advanced one, only felictiy beat me – she got 98%, so pretty good and I came first in our extesnion one with 84%. I was pretty proud, because I did not expect these good resutls at all!!
So a pretty successful and great day I think chemistry and then the two maths tests, rewards movie , business tower and awesome best friends – I am loving life so much!!!

I just have the best friends of the whole world! I love you all so much, especially you two, Makayla and Ebony <3 Your are soo great! I never thought I would find such amazing and fantastic friends, but I did – and I know it is a friendship for our lifetime!

After school I had my last swimming lesson here, which made me a bit sad, because I really enjoyed swimming! But everything comes to an end unfortunately.. But yeah, I had a great time at Wyoming Swimcentre!
Back at home I had a shower and packed my bag to go to a sleep over to Makaylas! Yeah!
We had the best Time ever with Ebony and Makayla!!! The “deal” was that I have to vacuum the house tomorrow haaha, but i'll do it for sure!

We watched some victoria secret shows at first and talked, talked, talked of course! Around 8 pm or som Makayla and her whole family left to go and see some cousins for an hour or so and left me and Eb alone at their house, haha :) We had a great time watching pitch perfect (cant wait for the second one) and talking :)
and of course some selfies !

When tey came home they brough dinner with then – Pizza! Yum! We finished watching pitch perfect and also watched Mamma Mia then, which was the first time for me. While watching the movie Hannah told me some more braiding tricks and this is soooo cool!

Ebbys Hair - i did it . proud! :P
Swag!


We took heaps of selfies of course as well – three best friends, it had to be three, always !!!

And we also found this really beautiful photo of us three :)
We went to bed at around midnight, all three in Makaylas double bed, but we kept talking until 2.30am or so, hahaha :)

It was an amazing day, and he haven’t done much us three together so it was really perfect! I always feel so welcomed at Mikkis house :)

We got up at around 9 am or so but stayed in bed until 10.30 haha :) And talked and yeah :) When I looked at my phone it was around 10.30 and I just got a message from greg about üicking me up.
We had to take a polaroid photo of us three before I left as well of course :)

Greg picked me up at around 11am from Makaylas house – it was sooo great!!! - and back at home it my job to do al the folding up! OMG, I have never done som much folding up – It took me like 1 or 2 hours! But thats alright I am happy to help! First it was going to be vacuuming but then greg said he'll do the vacuuming and I can do the folgin up ;) Sneaky greg, hahah :)

We even pu the fire on - so cold!
Durign brekkie Stacy rang and we made some plans yesterday to go to the movies or so and yeah.. :) Unfortunately it was raining really heavy the whole day (We got more than 100ml over the day and some streets flooded) so we couldn’t go to the beach or to Maquarie Centre in Sydney but we went to Erina fair and did some shopping. I got tow really ncie tops for 10$ together and some shoes for 4$ because I broke my others and I didn’t want to buy any more, but I kept borrowing Ems and yeah .. Em bought two pair fo shoes :)

We had our Cheese and bikkies for dinner and watched Alvin and Chipmunks.

Su, April 5th

Happy Easter everyone!

Em slept in my bed again, and because we put the clocks one hour back tonight, we “had” to sleep one hour longer before getting up to look at our presents from the easter bunny. We couldn’t sleep since like 6.20 or so and so we decided to have look at some photos and yeah, really nice!
At 7am we ran into mum and dads bedroom and “Happy Easter!”

We all jumped into their bed and gave each other our cards and presents. Em and I got some chocolate for Greg and a nice necklace for Robyn. We both got some chocolate – an easter bunny :) I got Em some socks with bunnys on them haha :)

Bed Selfie!
And another one :)

Greg and Robyn went back to bed and Em watched more of her saturday disney and I sat down on the launch with her.
For breakfast we had Hot cross buns again, really yummy!

Some of our chocolate ;)
Em then decided to watch some more TV and after a little we both started packing for tomorrow – Queensland we are so ready to com!
Around 4.40pm Katrina and the girls came to pick me up to go to Church which was really nice.


So, this was the post about week 38. I hope you enjoyed it and all had a nice easter and are still enjoying your Holidays. I am off to the Gold Coast now :)

Hey guys,

Today is the 29th of March, which means that it is almost only 1 months left.. Oo :'(
Best friends <3

Mo, March 23rd
I met Robin at the gate of the school today so she didn’t have to walk up alone and would get lost or so. I really hope and I think she likes school – but I know, it takes a while until you get used to it, it took me probably 2 months or so, but I love Lisarow High School now!
We usually have Roll call in the hall on mondays but today there were exams so we had to walk back to the class room, haha. :) 
First period was Food tech, were we did some revision and it was a very good lesson – I love food tech with Makayla :) I had to catch up on some revision, and makayla did it on the week end so luckily she let me take a photo, haha :) Thanks xx
Second I had business and we didn’t really do much, copying some notes in our books and I did some of my food tec homework, haha :)
Eb dogs wasn’t at school today, and I was really worried why, but as I found out later she hurt her arm and stayed at home – all good! :)
Our table was really full at recess so I had to stay, haha, but it didn’t really bother me :P

Next was Chemistry where we didn’t have any teacher and we didn’t do anything must gossiping about teachers haha :)
Maths was fourth and even though we don’t like our teacher we have at the moment – mr jones – because our real teacher is in america on holidays at the moment – I still love maths!

Lunch was good as well and last was english were we continued watching dead poet society was alright as well.
On the way out of school
After school I did heaps of homework because I am going to Ebbys house tomorrow after school – food tech, maths and chemistry and yeah, haha :)
Revenge was on at night again, which I had to watch of course, and it was sooo good! :)
I was running from one room to the other doing some chemistry in the adds and then my recess for tomorrow haha :)

Tu, March 24th
I walked to school alone today, because Lucy left earlier, but I met Robin at the Gate again and we walked together to Roll call. :)
First Period was SLR, and we played Basketball which was actually really really good today :) Next was english were we finished watching Dead Poet Society and answering the 40 questions we got on the sheet – finally!

We didn’t have assembly today because the year 12 are having their half yearlies at the moment.
Recess was good today, sitting at our table and talking and having fun :)
Robin, me and eb dogs :)

Last period for today was Business studies and because our teacher wasn’t there and we didn’t have any substitute teacher most of us didn’t do much, but Jade and me almost finished the crossword which was very good, haha :) we then had also a look at the sharemarket game and bought some more shares.

The highlight of today was the afternoon!
I finally went to Eb dogs house after school and had an amazing, fantastic afternoon! She is one of my first friends and we wanted to do something together since ever, so finally today!

Her mum and her little brother oscar (2years old) picked us up after school and we had some lunch at home – a yummi sandwiches :)
We played a bit with oscar who is sooo cute and then started watching “My fault in our stars” and mined Oscar for a little while Ebs mum had to go out. 

Watching the fault in our stars :)
We watched about half of the movie and it is such a good movie – but soo long!
We stopped because we wanted to take some photos, which we did and some really photos hahah :)
Eb also plays hay day and I haven’t played it for ages, so we had our Hay day session, haha :) And of course talking, talking, talking!


Her Brother had football training at 5.30 so her mum dropped me home on the way home again.
Thanks Eb, this arvo has been amazing – it was soo great! <3 xx 

We, March 25th
Happy Birthday Abbey! I hope you have a wonderful day, you fully deserve it! Enjoy every second of it!
Unfortunately I cant go to Abbeys Birthday on Sunday, because it is Nan'S 87th Birthday!

On the way to school :)
Today is Wednesday again and this means early Maths :) Wednesday Week A we have a double lessons and because of this we skip Roll Call, so we get extra 10 min, haha :)
Next was Business and we got our text back – it was like a half yearly exam, because we only have one more this year – I didn’t know it was that important! But it makes me even happier, because I got 63/70 and came first, haha :P
I didn’t expect this at all, I knew it was alright, okay pretty good, haha :)
After Recess we had SLR where our teacher Mr Rumpler made us run the cross country course 6 times, so we had to run up the hill and then around the school – pretty good and we did 4.8 km :)
Chemistry was next, and once again our teacher was not there, but we had some work to do and were talking about the test on friday.
Last period after lunch, where Ben and I took a selfie, haha ;) we had Food tech. Mrs Heaps wasn’t there either so we did some revision, because we have a test on Friday as well – too many tests!
x
After school when we came home and Robyn was watching TV the news came on and she told me about the plane crash in France, where the plane which was on the way to Düsseldorf crashed over the alps – so bad!
After Em came home from Singing we baked a chocolate cake for Greg and Robyn's wedding anniversary tomorrow :) <3

Happy 21st Wedding anniversary Greg and Robyn!

Today was Gregs and Robyn 21st Wedding Anniversary and because of this we went to Hogs Breaths Cafe for dinner, which a really yummy restaurant!
We had some really good garlic bread and potato wedges for entre, I had chicken Caesar salad for main, Em some nuggets and chips and Greg and Robyn a steak I think. It was really really good!

Family Photo :)
And Em and I made the cake yesterday, so we had the chocolate Anniversary cake for dessert – yum! Here is the recipe, of course, haha :) (LINK)
It was a very nice night all together as a Family, it feels so much like a real family! <3

And do you what?!
We sat at the exact same table as we sat on the 13th of July, one day after I arrived here and we went out for lunch to Terrigal – so yeah, here is the view, same haha :)


Back at home we pretty much went straight to bed, haha :)

And now about the morning..
Well it was a pretty normal school (awesome!) day with Extension Maths in the morning and yeah :) Everyday is so good at school, love it!
After school Em and I had swimming I thought it might be my last swimming lessons, because I am only paying for march, but because I missed it last week I can do one next thursday – thanks! It would have been so sad if it was the last one! :'( I am actually maybe going to cry.. I loved swimming I am SOOOOO glad I did it – best decision ever!

We also took a photo of my group – as a memory :)

Fri, March 27th
We were all a bit tired today in the morning after the very nice dinner yesterday, but all good :)
It was really cold in the morning and I don’t know why but I decided not to take my jumper and was freezing the whole morning!
I had the food tech test first period, which was actually quite good and I was surprised how much I knew, because I had this thing going, that I would not study at all for the test, haha! :) I always wanted to do it like for one test, so I did it for food tech, because it doesn’t count towards anything :)
Second was english where we did some more preparation for the essay on tuesday and then we had recess.
We planned a little of our Sydney trip tomorrow – I am so excited! I asked some friends if they want to go to Sydney for a day, because my time here is coming to and end unfortunately and I would love to go to Sydney with my friends, haha :) So we are catching the train tomorrow and then the ferry to Manly beach – sounds awesome, doesn’t it? :)

Next was chemistry and this meant – next test. Everybody was really freaking out about chemistry and studying really much, I did study as well but not that much and it actually was quite good as well, there was just one question which was a bit weird, but yeah.. It is over now, so I wont think about it anymore, haha :)
Then SLR where we played touch footy, which was very .. lets say interesting.. You know what I mean Makayla and Robin, haha :) Dance battle and stuff ;) 

Lunch we sat down at the usual place again and last period was business studies where we went through the test a new topic.

After school I did some studying and blog writing, haha and then also baked some cookies for tomorrow, so excited! :)


We had our traditional Salmon for dinner of course, which I cooked and then we all got ready for tomorrow which is going to be a busy day for every one.
Me – Sydney
Greg and Robyn – Election and Nan's open house
Em – Birthday sleepover

Sa, March 28th
It was an amazing day today! It was really cold in the morning but so nice and warm in the afternoon! :)
We got the train at 9.01 am and Ella, Ben, Robin, Makayla and me met at Lisarow trains station a bit earlier to buy tickets and stuff, haha :) Eric said he was going to be in train already. But he wasn’t! We walked around the whole train trying to find him and called him and stuff but he wasn’t there! After rigning him we found out he was in an different train! We decided to get off at Woy woy and waited 5 min for his train and then went on there – pretty funny and adventurous :)
On the train
We arrived in Sydney at Circular Quay at around 11.15 or so and were blown away by view -again!

Robin, Me, Makayla, Ella, Ben and Eric
The ferry to Manly goes every 30 min so we decided to walk to the Opera house first and take some photos, which was really good!


Circular Quay


Me and makayla :)

We then walked back and missed the ferry by 2 min! But we so had time for Robin to go and buy her coke and walked around a bit more and saw some aboriginals playing the Didgeridoo.

We got on the ferry at 12.30 and it was so full! We got some seats inside but Makayla and I went outside to enjoy the view! IT is so nice, and I still cant believe I am actually here when I see it! We really enjoyed it to be outside and took some photos and talked and it was great! Love you Mikki <3 !

Selfie time :)

Love this picture!
When we arrived in Manly we walked through the Corso (a nice street with heaps of shops and no cars) to the beach, where we had some lunch – I brought cookies, grapes and carrots, Robyn some ham and cheese croissants and watermelon. :)

The beach really blew me away! So beautiful!

WOW!
We also went for a walk on the beach and we really wanted to go swimming, but no, haha :) We took a photo on my polaroid camera of course, which I love! 
<3
Makayla and I got some Ben and Jerry ice cream – which was the first for me! And reallly good! Yumm! :)

Yum!
We decided to go shopping then a bit and look in all the nice surf shops and stuff, haah :)
Makayla bought a really nice long white dress, Ella and Robin some Lipsticks and I bought some really nice swimmers :)
The boys also had some – I hope ;)

We walked back to the ferry and missed it by two minutes again – out timing is terrible, haha :) But it was good actually because we so stat down on the wharf and enjoyed the view of the beach! Ben, Makayla and me went down and walked a bit in the water :)

Ben, Makayla and me .)
We got the ferry back and then the two trains and arrived at Lisarow at 6.20pm. IT was a really funny train trip as well :) Because of taking so many photos my phone battery run out and so I was so surprised when Greg was waiting for me to pick me up – it was the best thing ever!

Manly Corso
I was so happy to be back at home, haha, just a very nice feeling!
Em was on a birthday party so it was me, Greg and Robyn and we had a great night!
We watched 6 days and 7 nights and had our traditional cheese bikkies for dinner. :)

Su, March 29th
I woke up at 8.15am today but stayed in bed until 9 or so and then had a nice warm shower :)

At around 12.15 we left to go to Erina fair to pick up em and then went to Debbies house to celebrate Nan's 87th Birthday :) It was a very nice (and late) lunch haha :) 
It was very nice to see all the little kids again and they are so funny! Kate is 5 and she did my hair and took photos, haha :)

Kate, me and lexi <3
Kate did my hair :)

All the kids :)
We had king prawns and home made garlic pizza for entree at like 3 or 4 pm and then sausage and steak sandwichs for dinner or so, hahah :)
