It's gona be Friday, Friday. End of school on Friday! Everybody's looking forward to the holidaays!

We went on a field trip today. It wasn't one of the best ones. The place was really nice.
We were divided into groups. Half of us went tree climbing and the other half went to this sledging thing. It's like a roller coster.

It's like at the picture only without the snow.
It was really fun. the first time I went with Yasmin and we were really scared. It was Yasmin's first time and my second. It was very steep and had many turns. The second time we were singing the ABC song and "the final countdown". After three rides with Yaz I went down by myself two times without braking. Then I went down with Franny at full speed. I felt kind of dizzy after all that.
We had lunch next. Since I was hot lunch the school provided me with a picnic lunch. I had a ham sandwich with butter, chips, an apple and a farmer bar that I traded for a twix. Yasmin gave me two pieces of pizza and I had some of Franny's cherries.
After lunch we went to tree climbing. It was really boring. I usually love tree climbing. It was very fun when I first went there with the summer camp and it was a m a z i n g at Peter's birthday party last year. There where too many people (it felt just like The Hunger Games) and the level of difficulty went from black to green. There was even a really hard one on which I cried. I was stuck on that one for like 20 mins and so did Yasmin. When the two of us came down (Franny was behind us for some reason) we decided to go on a very easy track that was actually made for little kids. Together we went on the zip-line about five times and Liddy took pictures of us using Franny's camera.
The bus ride made me feel sick. Since the school buses went to get the 8th graders from Europa Park we had to ride on these other ones.
After school Franny and I decided to go to a cafe. It had a very funny name - Happy Days. It still makes me giggle. XD =D Anna joined us. Even though we waited for our food for a long time I really liked it. My pancakes were delicious and the sirop was great! I took the leftovers home. Franny took tost with eggs and bacon and Anna took crepes. All together we paid for fries.
I went home at 5 and called my Grandma straight away. Had a lot of things to tell her, didn't I? pkht

SPORTS DAY!!!

Sports day is usually one of the best days at school. In the past years we used to go to the sports centre and would spend our whole day there. We could anything we wanted; ball throw, shot put, javelin, 600m run, 60m sprint, high jump and long jump. But thins year it is different.
On Thursdays we always have French first period. Mme Farcy accompanied us to the sports centre where we were split into houses. For the sports activities we could only do sprint, long jump and ball throw. My first one was long jump. We lined up by houses and waited for our turn. I was at the middle and there wasn't much to wait for. My first jump was a scratch, but I did 2m80 on my second one.
After we did sprint. We did it in alphabetical order that I didn't like. I'm not fast at sprinting and I didn't want to be the last one to arrive. Luckily I wasn't. Anast, Yasmin and Molly were against me. I knew Anast was quite fast. She seems very sporty and is always in the CDL Grand Prix. I din't know anything about Molly who I never hang out with. She doesn't look like she is a fast runner, but she doesn't look like a slow one either. So when the coach blew his whistle I tried to sprint as fast as I could. The wind was in my face and I really enjoyed it. Anast came first, Yasmin came second and Molly was the last one to arrive. My time was 11sec something. I was very proud of myself because last year my result used to be 14sec.
My last activity was ball throw. I'm OK at it. I don't remember my score, but it was around 15m.
When everyone was done we went back to the school to have or lunch there. One footballer came to our school and showed us some cool tricks with a soccer ball. I didn't feel like watching it so I had my lunch at the tent (for blue house). I'm hot lunch, so the school is supposed to provide me food. I was given a white with a sandwich, an apple, cheese, chips and ice tea in it. I also brought 2 sandwiches of my own. I ate everything and was very full.
The last thing of the day was a race. The first one was called Statue of Liberty. You basically put a volleyballon a cone and run as fast as you can without dropping it. For the second one they only asked for 5 girls and 5 boys to participate so I was cheering. You had to put a ball in between your legs and run. The teachers were invoved in the third race. We had Miss Dixon, Mme Roussel and someone else running for our house.
The award ceremony was very entertaining because for every award there would be a person from blue house. I didn't win anything, but I was still very proud of myself. When they announced the scores we found out that blue house won. YAY!!! WE'RE THE BEST!!!

Yesterday

Yesterday, it was the last day of school before our spring vacation. It was a half-day. We had fun in Maths class and dissected a rat in Biology (we even got to touch it!). The rat was so cute and it was very interesting to the inside of it. The next period we were making flags in groups. Our group made the flag of Lesotho and was the last one to finish. Then we went outside and went around the field carrying our country's flag (why the hell did we do this???). I was the only enthusiastic person among the other Russians. The borders left (most of Russian people are borders) so we had a few people in our group. There were frenchies that I never saw before and a girl I sat next to on my first of school. I don't think she even remembers me, but I do. My French teacher came to us. Too bad the flag was made out of paper. I would wave in the air if it wasn't. The AA (annoying Americans) were behind us. They were singing the Anthem. I don't have anything against America, but sometimes they can be really annoying. I know that they are proud of the place they come from, but why tell everyone about that?
School ended and Franny and I went to the lake to have our picnic. We found a lovely place and sat on a large tree stub. We had sandwiches with salad, tomatoes and mozzarella, chips, orange juice, cookies, strawberry and grapes. Then we fed the swans and the ducks, got on the bus and rode to the train station. We went to Clair's and bought slushy. We travelled back to the lake and sunbathed, listening to songs on my ipod. It was amazing!

Haha! Don't be jealous! It's not nice! I know you'll never find a BFF like Franny (because she's the best!), but keep trying!
