Today was my last day at school (even if i still have 1/4 of my whole stay in front of me).
We had first period and then assembly.
My first period was dance where we played a quiz. I don’t know whether my team won or not because we did not count the points properly. The main point is that the price was chocolate:-D
The assembly was for all year 12 students. We got the information about the procedure of the NZQA exams and after that we could go home. I stayed at school with some friends.
We walked around the school to take photos and then we went to Subway and McDonalds to eat something.
At the movies i changed our tickets for New Moon (we had tickets for the 19th November but we don’t have time on that day) to the 21st November.
They also told us at the movies that we are not allowed to go the movies in school uniform. So we went to Celina’s house to change our clothes (i had mine in my bag) and came ack to the movies.
We wanted to watch ‘My sisters keeper’. Unfortunately we went into the wrong theatre, what we recognized, when the movie started:-D. When we finally got into the right theatre, the movie was so sad that we cried a lot.
I got home at about 3.30pm, so I still had the whole afternoon which i spend with walking and writing emails.
Hello!
this weekend i did lots of things!!
on friday i was in the movies with 2 of my friends: Celina and Rino. we watched the movie ‘couples retreat’, which was all right. not fantastic but not bad either.
on saturday i went to Botany, which is a shopping center. there i met 3 of my fiends: Celina, Rino and Taiba. we went a little bit shopping, then we went to Taiba’s house very shortly and came back to Botany to watch a movie. we had to seperate because they strictly control the IDs here. so Taiba and Celina watched saw and rino and i watched Julie &: Julia. the movie was ok, more for older women :-D When i came back home, my host family had a barbecue. the grandparents were there and also friends of my host sisters. Laura and her friend swam in the pool for the first time after winter. looked pretty cold =D i had a long conversation with my dad from germany on the phone. he calls me every weekend :-P
on sunday i went to the ‘armageddon’ show on the asb-showgrounds, which was like a games and movie show. some film stars answered questions and gave autographs for example: Joe Flanigan and Jason Momoa. but the most important person was Bronson Pelletier. he plays Jared in the new moon movie. he was just adorable!! he answered questions on the big stage. then one girl asked whether she could get a hug and he came down from the stage and hugged her. he hugged many people who asked for it but he did not come to us (my turkish host sister and me). but afterwards he gave autographs, so at least we talked to him and got his autograph!
on monday it was labour day, which is a public holiday here in new zealand. in the morning i finally did my homework and vacuumed my room. my host mother gave me and my host sister a ride to the bus stop because we were really late. we caught the bus to the city center, called britomart. there we met 3 girls who were with me on the south island trip. it was so nice to meet them again. we had lunch together and talked a lot!! the weather was crap so we just went shopping a little bit.
here are so many souvenir-shops so you can buy heaps of souvenirs. i would like to keep them all for me :-D!! that should not happen, so i have to buy everything twice :-D
We are three exchange students from Germany blogging abroad - in the United States, Canada and New Zealand! We will write about our experiences and impressions, but also about disappointment. Stay tuned!
