Why do so many things not work as we want them to??

Hi random stranger.
I just had to upload the previous post again, because somehow I deleted it without knowing.
Right now I am sitting with Bob and Ruby at Carl's Jr. You can compare it with Mc Donalds or Burger King. Maybe their food isn't THAT good, their Milk Shakes are fabulous. Especially the Oreo one.

At athletics day nothing big happened. It was kind of boring and two of my friends didn't come. Giggle was "sick" and Giant simply didn't want to come... I really hate them for that. At least Hope came... I forced her to do, whatever I did... :D
On Saturday Cat, Steve, Ruby and me went to the Hamilton Zoo. It is big and actually very nice. Even for the animals. Their enclosures are nice, quite big and very similar to their natrual habitats. I did a few Photos and will add a few of them maybe later to this post. There was a green parrot, which ate from our hands. It was really cute.
On Sunday we got shown how to use an air pistol by Bob. I am so proud of myself. The first time, I ever shoot a gun. And I shot a little bucket from a ten meter distance. So better not make me angry ;D
It was so cute, when Ruby wanted to shoot. We were leaning on a branch and it was too high for her. So she went on her Tiptoes and was still too small. Maybe I will put a picture in later.
Later on Sunday we went to get a Milkshake... We go there like every third day... But as I said before. THEY ARE SO AMAZING!
Well, when the guy gave us the milk shakes, and one had really really much cream on it. So Ruby and I tried to be the one, who get it faster. We grabbed it the same time. I really didn't wanted to give it to Ruby, so it pulled it away from her.... I really thought, she tries to keep it... She let it go. And because I didn't expect that, the Milk Shake fell down on the floor... And the boy, who handed them to us, was still with us. It was so embarrasing. xD
And I was so lucky, that I got a new one. In German I would say

"Und die Moral von der Geschicht?

Gierig sein lohnt sich nicht..." :D

Yesterday was Monday, right? 'kay... What did I do... Oh right. I was sleeping! :D
I had a really bad headache and I was so tired... In Lunchtime I almost fell asleep and only Dance saw me smiling, 'cause Seth asked me, if I want to sit next to him. After school we had to go to Auckland City, because Cat always meets one of her friends on Monday. I slept in her shop for maybe 2 hours or more and when we were leaving, I slept in the car. I have the feeling, I was only sleeping... I also went to bed at half past nine.
Today I was in a really really good mood since the second period (Painting). I don't know, why. Maybe, because it was really relaxing and my teacher told me, I'll get an Exellence for my work and everybody loves it...
We went to the Kowhai hill at Interval and it was really funny. I had such a great day, that I even asked Seth, if he want to spend Lunchtime with me. He agreed and after I said, that he don't have to, if he doesn't want to, he told me, that he wants to...
Well, after Dance we went together to the hill. But than I saw Curl and I ran to her and gave her a hug. And than I lost Seth... When I saw him again, like 10 minutes later, he walked with a few friends and I wasn't brave enough to call him.
Lunch was very funny anyway... Almost every friend of mine said 'hi' or joined us... And friend of friends were joining us, and it was really funny.
After school Steve took us from the train station and we just were at home and got a Milk Shake... All in all it was a great day :))
Best wishes from New Zealand <33

Oh, right. Why you won't just leave a comment? I would be happy :3

Just too much different stuff to find a heading

I just deleted it... But I saved it as a document... So: here you go.

Hi. I am back :D
I know, I know. I should've written a LOT earlier... But. Well I don't know, I just can't sleep in the last days and I am so tired. Sometimes I fall asleep during the day. And I wasn't in the mood of writing before. I am so sorry.

Before I am starting... I just made Nickname for everyone. I will talk about my school life now and I really don't want that some people know, who I am talking about... Well, all these names have a meaning. I know these people for only a week, but I spent enough time with them to create a name for them. If you think, you know, what's your name is... Feel free to ask me, why I chose it... :D
At the moment I am sitting in the living room. Cat's Auntie came today from England. She will stay for two weeks here. Cat and Ruby are taking her to Zumba. I won't join them now... I'm too tired and I really don't feel like dancing right now. I prefer sitting in the living room and eating chocolate. :D Sometimes I am wondering, why I am not big and fat. I definitely eat too much sweets...
When was the last time, I updated? Well, I don't know... Let's start at the weekend... Friday was Waitangi Day. So we didn't have school. In the evening we went to Zumba. It was a very tiring one and the first time, Ruby came with us. It was so much fun!
Saturday we did a trip. At first we went to a Lighthouse with a beautiful view. It was soo nice and I regret not being able to use my camera. The lens is broken. We were going to a shop and they told us, that it would be about 300 NZ$ to repair it. I am not the only one, who's lens was broken. They told us, that another man had the same problem with the same lens.
After the lighthouse we went to Awhitu Peninsula and walked for 90 minutes. We walked above hills and had great views there, too. *-* Later in that day we were on the beach and I got Ruby to swim in the ocean. I am so proud. :D

Then today. I was so tired, when I got out of the train. As I already said, I didn't get much sleep the last nights. So Ruby and I went to school... Did I tell you, that our school is like Hogwarts... Well, only that we don't have any magic. But we have 4 houses. Miro (green), Hinau (purple), Tawa (red) and Kowhai (yellow). I am in Kowhai. It's so cool. On Friday we have athletics day. We don't have to wear our school uniform but we can wear whatever we want to wear. But it should be the colour of our house. We won't have any lessons on Friday. But I will go to school earlier because I'll join the choir and its meeting is before school starts.
Back to today (I am sorry...). Before the real lessons starts, we have 15 minutes in our Whanau classes. I'm sitting with Giant, Hope and Giggle... And it's quite funny with them, especially because Hope is a quite crazy... She always says that she loves me, because I am as evil as she is. But I am not evil... Am I ??
Well, then in my third period I had Dance (wohoo, Seth, I am coming). I am slowly getting really excited for Dancing now... I love his smile. It's so cute and I really have to smile back every time. He asked me today, if I am alright. He asks every day, but today he looked a little bit worried. Could be, that I only imagined that, but. I don't know. :D I think, I looked a kind of grumpy... I told him, that it was only a bad day... Somehow it was right... Well, never mind.
Our dance is... Strange. We are dancing hula and actually I thought, we are going to be taught Hip Hop, or something similar. I don't really like my dance classmates. Only a few boys and girls are quite nice. I think, if Seth wouldn't be in my class, I would've switched it for another Subject.
I really wonder, why so many students are afraid of showing their feet. We have to dance barefoot, but everyone wants to wear shoes or at least socks.

After the last lesson I was walking down the stairs and saw Seth. I was smiling, because I simply have to smile when I see him... :D When I was next to him, he asked, if my day was getting better, or if I have still a bad day. I said, that it was getting better and than it happened... I wanted to say 'Good Bye' or something like this and while I was walking, I was looking to him. He was behind me, so I had to look above my shoulder. Well... In front of me was this damn doormat. I am not sure, if it was messy already, or not. All I know is, that I tripped over it and had to do a lot, that I won't fall. The mat wasn't a Centimetre high, and I tripped over it. That was so embarrassing. I didn't looked back. I just walked away. :D I didn't do anything else today... I just wrote this entry. I didn't write it at once... That's why it's 10 p.m now :D when I started it was just about 5 p.m... Well. Maybe I will write a new post tomorrow. But I won't promise anything. - Jana

Pictures

As I promised: A few pictures.

 

 This is Rat. She is quite old. She was a hunting dog.

 

 This is Spud. He is 3 years old and sooo cute. I love him <3

 

And this is Bella. She is 2 years old, and barks at every stranger. She needed about 3 weeks to get used to me :D

 

This... is Tilley. She is about 6 or 7 months old... She is so rude :D

 

This is our cat family... In the left are Purrley (light one) and Jasper (dark one). On the other side are their sons. The upper one is called Baby Cat and the other one is Olley. (I am not sure, if I spelled their names right)

 

This is Amber. Amber is really cute. I love her. She lives more outside, than inside.

 

These are two of the piggies... The left one is Gevin and the other one is Berry.

 

And this Jerry. She is the only female pig and Alison hopes, that we could get baby pigs... *-*



1st post :D

Okay. Hello guys. :)

One of my best friends just convinced me to make a blog. I guess most of you know, who I am. For those, who don't know: My name is Jana and I am a 15 year old German girl. Last year I made the decision to go to Auckland (New Zealand) for 7 months. So. Here I am. I have been here since the 27th of December. I have settled and I love it here.

My guest family is really nice and they live on a little farm. They have 6 sheep, 5 cats, 4 dogs, 3 pigs, 3 bunnies, 3 chickens and 2 turtles. It's a lot, I know.

Alison, my new 'mom' has 4 children. But only the youngest still lives at home. Her name is Daisy and she is 13 years old. But on Valentines Day she will turn 14. :) She is pretty small, but that doesn't mean anything, because she can talk so much! But she is really cute and I love her. After a few days we were acting like sisters already. 

The school we are going to is called One Tree Hill College. Tuesday was my first day and I was so nervous. I was put in year 11, so I am not in Daisy's class. But they are all nice and most of them are trying to help me. Because I am only here for two terms and have to repeat my year in Germany anyway, I took all fun subjects: Photography, Painting, Dance, Drama and English.  

I have every subject every day and I have at least one friend in every period. While in Germany every period lasts 45 minutes, it's a whole hour in New Zealand. But after the second period we have 30 minutes break and after the fourth we have a break for an hour. It's always funny. 

And yesterday there was a boy... I have Dance with him and I have the feeling that I've met him before... But I don't know him... That sounds stupid, but he reminds me on Seth from Twilight xD

Well, that's all for today. I'll try to write tomorrow again. Maybe I'll make it and can write everyday, what I did... 

I'll upload a few photos today. :)

See U, Jana
