I can’t say it enough. New Zealand is a damn beautiful country. You are driving through a flat city the next thing you see are mountains. Mountains and snow. A real Winterwonderland. Suddenly you’re at a crazy highway, directly at the edge of some cliffs, and the snow is gone. It seems kinda tropical with the palms which are all over the hills. You see the mountains with the snow on the top at the horizon. The ocean on the one side and the mountains on the other. Blue rivers, and it’s not just any blue. It’s the blue you always used as child to draw the sky. Beautiful and amazing. The whole time I thought “I have to show this place to my friends and sisters.“
My first thoughts were that I’ll write a huge post about the West Coast Trip. I mean, it was great, I saw many unique places, got amazing impressions and had this feeling. The magical feeling. However, I’ll just write about the formal now and some thoughts I had. (I hope I won’t be too cheesy). The next post, which will come on Wednesday (or tomorrow (The pictures will maybe come a little bit late. I’ll se how I’ll do it.)), will be about the Trip!
The formal was okay, we all took some nice photos, looked great and I tried to dance… tried. Some girls went too far with the “length” of their dresses, with the amout of their self tan or with the way they danced. All the germans were like:”We need alcohol”, the DJ just repeated all the songs and the food was okay. To summarise now, I enjoyed and liked our prom in Germany waayyy more.
To be honest, I have to deal with homesickness sometimes and this feeling is really bad. In the one second I miss my home, my family, my friends and even my school so badly, that I wished to fly back the next day or imagined how it would be if I’m back home. In the next second even thought I am far away and I see how beautiful it is here and how thankful and pleased I am, to be in this lovely family I got. So, one thing I have already learned is, carry on and doing my best even when it’s challenging.
Happy Birthday to Emily (and of course Jendrik). I miss you so much and can’t wait to see you again my little Schnupsi♥ Don’t be sad if I’m not there to say, that the damn jacket looks good on you, when you have your crazy 5 minutes or when I usually have to pick you up at 07:21. I love you and will never forget you♥

so sweet♥ 
love u ♥
After reading this, I am now homesick.
Thanks Amalie

During my stay in the US 35 years ago I was homesick too. It’s a mean feeling which cannot be controlled with the mind, all you can do is distract yourself and sit it out and all of the sudden you realize it’s gone! Hang in there and accept it, you will grow so much overcoming it.
