15 more days

I have 15 more days to leave America behind me. Imagine 15 more days (out of 292) that's the amount of time I go somewhere for vacation. Only one more week of High school :(.. This is not fair how are you gonna say goodbye to your love ones for forever? I mean I am gonna come visit but still I won't ever have the same relationships to my friends and host family. I am afraid they are gonna forget about me and I was just another exchange student. I don't like to say good bye I don't like to think about not going back to school on Monday.

Now when I go back people to Germany people are gonna ask me: "How was it?", "Do you like the US?", "Are Americans really that fat?".. I see it coming first of all it was a was the best year I ever had and yes I love the US. I am not telling any of my family members and friends that I am not excited to go back home because they would be very disappointed. Is not that I don't like them it's just you get more independent and you get connected to another community.

Excited for prom

In Germany we don't have dances like Homecoming, Sadie's or Prom, 
I think dressing up and going out with your friends is a nice thing to do. 
Once in a while everyone should feel pretty wearing a nice dress, getting their hair and nails done and putting on some make up. Also it is a nice alternative to studying all day. In my opinion it's nice that the boy pays for the ticket and dinner so his date can feel "special". 
In Germany when we get our graduation certificate everyone has to dress up because the principal hands it to you. That is the only occasion we are supposed to do so. 
I am going to prom this Saturday and I'm really excited because for me that's is a lifetime experience. It took me a while to decide on my dress but now that I made my decision I'm good to go. My hair and make up appointment is Saturday at 1 pm hopefully that's enough time. I  still have to get my flats and earrings and I don't feel like dealing with that. My prom group consist of about 20 people and we are going to take pictures at the MSU garden I think and then our party bus is taking us to dinner. The only thing I'm not excited about is the dance because I totally hate dancing. 
I heard about prom in movies like "She's all that" and other high school movies. That show's that prom is an american thing and not an European.
