NEW YORK!

Heeey! I am so sorry that i didn't write for sooo long..but the time goes by so fast especially now!! I'm doing something almost everyday, hanging out with friends and other stuff. But anyways I wanted to tell you about my trip to New York City and Washington DC. Short: It was sooo much fun and probably the best week of my exchange year. Thanks to BELO USA, the travel organization. So I arrived super early in the morning in NY (yea I had i night flight and it was just horrible) So then I met there with other exchange students, I didnt know any of them but it was so much fun to make new friends. We went to our hotel which was in New Jersey, and the first day we were just hanging out there because we had to wait for everyone to arrive. In the evening, we got our program for New York.

1st Day in NYC: The first thing we did was a City Tour through Manhatten. Our tour guide was a real new yorker and he was super funny. We stopped at important places like the Central Park, Wall Street, Ground Zero etc. At night, we went to Times Square. It is just crazy there but definitely one of my favourite places. We had a experience with real Police Cops there.. which was a little scary, but they actually saved us from a guy who dressed up as Elvis and wanted money from us but he actually wasn't allowed to take money.The cops explained us that we shouldn't gave money to anyone at Times Square. Thanks again :D

We had dinner at a really cool place: Planet Hollywood. They actually booked the whole upper level just for us. FANCY! By the way: For lunch I had pizza from the pizza place from the Spider Man Movie. Remember Peter Parker (or Spiderman) works in the beginning of the movie for them?! Anyways I was so excited! Later that same day, I guess a few exchange students saw Robert Pattinson at Times Square... I didn't...that makes me REALLY mad but I try not to think about it. I mean I will just become an actrice and meet those people in a few years!:)

2nd Day NYC: We started early because we had a full program. First we went to the Empire State Building.. and WOW! The view was just awesome ! We could see everything!! It was amazing. And the thought that King Kong climbed up the building ;)

After that, we went shopping in Soho, which was really cool too. We went to the United Nations, which is not part of the United States so I "left the country" for a few hours. It was really interesting there. After that, we went to a Dancing School and got Hip Hop lessons from a real New Yorker Hip Hop Dancer, it was so much fun. We also went to China Town, were we had dinner in a suuuperfancy China restaurant!!! YUMMY!

3rd Day NYC: We started early again, got on a boat and went to the Statue of Liberty!!! The weather was kinda bad though, so we bought us a hot chocolate there and visited the Statue. After that, we went to Ellis Island, a little island where the European immigrants used to come in. We had Lunch at Grand Central Station, which was really cool! Then we went to the Metropolian Art Musem, very interesting place! And in the evening the best thing ever: A REAL BROADWAY SHOW!!! I was so excited!!!!!!!!!!! We saw "Phantom of the Opera" and it was just amazing!!!! After that, we had a biiiig party, because it was the last night in New York!! It was so much fun!!! We even got our own DJ! haha

4th Day NYC: Was a short day! We had to say Goodbye to half of our group and left for Washington D.C. I'll write about that in the next post!!

Soooo.. Congratulations if you really read the whole post!!! I'll post pictures soon!!!!

New York, here I come!

Hey guys,
I just wanted to tell you really fast:
I'm going to NEW YORK tomorrow! I will fly by myself and meet up there with other exchange students. I don't know them yet, but I'm really excited to meet new people.
Anyways, we will stay in New York for 5 days and then we will drive to WASHINGTON D.C.! It's gonna be so cool! Can't wait and I probably won't sleep at all tonight!
I just got the program 2 days ago, and it looks amazing! But I won't tell you yet ;).
I'll write a looooooooooong post... probably if I find the time!
For now,
G'night! :) :)
Julia

1st post in english

Heey, so my American friends complained that they can't understand a word in my blog. So I decided to write my posts in english.. at least most of them! And I hope it's understandable for all of you guys! And who knows? Maybe I'll get some international readers? That would be really cool!
Anyways, today was a boring day. I didn't do anything except from cleaning my room and listening to some good music. And I found this song here. Yea, I know the video is a little weird but it's still a good song though! Have fun and goodnight!

4/1/11

Ich habe grade den Film "Julie & Julia" angeguckt und es hat mich inspiriert wieder in meinen Blog zu schreiben! Außerdem habe ich mindestens 54 Leser! :) Freut mich zusehen, dass es wirklich Menschen da draußen gibt die sich alles hier so durchlesen. Es ist auch schon Anfang April .. ich kann es gar nicht glauben wie schnell die Zeit vergeht. Nächstes Wochenende habe ich mein Spring Ball oder auch "Prom". Hab vor ein paar Tagen mein Kleid gekauft, es ist pink und ich bin crazy in love mit dem Kleid! Außderdem ist das Wetter ziemlich gut, ungefähr 25°C. Meine Lieblingsbeschäftigung im Moment ist, mich einfach nach draußen zu setzten und das Buch "Slaughterhouse 5" zu lesen, was ich sowieso für mein English Class machen muss.
Ich werde demnächst wieder etwas reinposten! Auch mein Math Test heute verlief besser als gedacht! Hat mich sehr gefreut und überrascht, da ich echt kein Mathe Genie bin! Bin auf jeden Fall happy für heut! Bis dann!
Love,
Julia

Schnee in California?!

Heyheyhey
Also ich hab jetzt a grad Spring Break und meine Gastfamilie und ich sind zum Lake Tahoe gefahren (in die Berge) Tja und da lag dann doch tatsächlich sooooo viel Schnee.. unfassbar! Wir mussten dann sogar einen Tag früher wieder nachhause fahren, weil ne Schneesturmwarnung durchkam. Am Lake Tahoe haben wir eigl nicht viel gemacht. Wir haben im Schnee gespielt, sind Ice Skating gegangen, und shoppen natürlich. Außerdem waren wir in nem ziemlich coolen Hotel. Die hatten einen Hot tub draußen (Whirlpool oder wie auch immer man das in Deutschland nennt) und da hab ich mich erstmal reingesetzt. Ist schon ziemlich cool, wenn rund um dir herum Schnee liegt und du sitzt in einem Hot Tub! :) Haha
Naja, jetzt bin ich wieder zuahuse in Lodi, und hier regnet es und es ist super windig.
Es ist grade Sonntag morgen, das heißt ich gehe gleich in die Kirche.
Ansonsten weiß ich nich was ich heut noch so mache. Mal schauen! ;D
