Friday morning.

It's friday morning, during my first week of vacation. Things are getting more concrete, and I'm kind of in a flashback phase of sucking up all good feelings of the last months, noticing they're enough for years. Today i'm going to visit Elizabeth in Schaffhausen with my Dad. She's one of the people that know me since I was born, we went to preschool together and we had a great childood together.
Before, i was pretty sad to not go to the US this year, but after i got information about my family, things are getting way easier.
i really cant wait to go to argentina now, the family seems wonderful and very friendly. I dont mind if the place is pretty rural, maybe becomming a little down-to-earth can be pretty cool.
okay, gotta run! :)
Kisses, anna

The last day of school... for a year.

I guess I'm using loads of ,,the last" before my posts. things are finishing up and today was the last day of school. It was not real school- mostly hanging out. we cleaned up the classroom- and then went into the new harry potter movie, after playing soccor in the rooms. I took a picture of my old classroom. last time i was in there, i guess. In two years we'll be in another one. I took the picture of the room empty, without any chair or table in it, pure as it is.
I guess I really am going to miss that room, a little.

Sophia, one friend i know since over 7 years, is leaving to L.A in only 2 days, so tonight theres going to be a little ,,bye-bye" party. I'll need to check for some clothes, go to the massage before, and then get ready for tonight. BECAUSE. tomorrow is my first day of ,,vacation". why the duckfeet? two more project days, that's it That means, breakfast at starbucks tomorrow morning, then hanging out in the design room until 4 pm, after that shopping with isabel- 29 more days, I think i really need to enjoy those.
Painted my nails black- festival seasons are staring, lets do this... ;)
xoxo
have a great night.... i swear, i will.

The 10 questions tag!

Okay. Today I felt like posting a couple answers from a tag someone tagged me in- enjoy.

1. How did you come up with your username?
It's a combination of my NAME and my middle name.. I guess I couldn't remember anything else... I mean, I have loads of passwords, usernames on emails, facebook, twitter... and an easy one makes it easier for people to find me. If everyone was just called ,,dolledupprinces21"- you'd never find anyone, right?

2. What would you do with $1 million dollars?
Hmm. I would buy two things. A little apartment in NYC, right downtown, up in a really, really high building.. And I would buy a pair of 5 inch killer black louboutins... If I had rests, I'd use it to make people happy. i'd buy my mum a mini-cooper, my dad a steelers ticket for the superowl, my brothers a little trip to the australian open or the us open and isabel and I would go to hawaii and hang out for a week :) or more :)

3. When are you happiest?
This one's easy. Just being in company of people I like.

4. What was your most embarrassing moment?
I think I've had a couple outfit desasters... (the whole miniskirt and hiphop sneakers thing in seventh grade was really bad..)- but there was nothing REALLY embaressing. Hm, well, okay. On a skiing trip, I had to spend my night over a garbage can... I think that was pretty not-feminin...

5. What is your favorite thing about yourself?
I dont know if there are a lot of things I really like.You need to answer this one.

6. Who do you want to take a picture with?
I think Megan Fox' boyfriend- he's hot... or jared leto...

7. What is your dream job?
I'm not sure about my job yet- I just now that my favorite things to study would be fashionjournalism right downtown NYC. There is a pretty great little private school on 77th, where you could go for that. being a journalist or something like that wold be great. and guess where? new york. If I would raise my kids though, i think I'd move to PA, state college. The place I grew up and have loads of my memories..

8. What is your dream car?
Accually my favorite car is not a convertable or Minicooper. i would definetly go for a huge black 4-door range rover with leather seats, huge wheels and a really big trunk.. That wouldnt work out in New York. But it would in state college- and that would be fun.

9. Name one thing you cannot live without?
I dont know- I think my family and friends (of course..). But other than that, I think my phone. Or my facebook account, Okaaay. No- seriously. i mean, I have over 500 friends on facebook- people I met in over 4 years, we spend times together and share memories. If i would lose all of those in only one click, i think i'd have a hard time finding them all again...

10. What is a lesson you've learned in life?
i think I've learned a few. Of course, i've learned the basic things like being patient, honest, friendly and respectful. But i think the most important one was, knowing that only daring can make happy.

The last weekend before summer vacation....

Oh wow- its sunday afternoon and I really didnt do anything this weekend. Accually, i'm still wearing the shirt I slept in and jogging pants... Whatever. I think this was the last ,,normal" weekend in garmany in 2011 for me :P funny thought.
I started writing again- ,,the story of us" kind of, a review of my 2010- pretty funny how much happened in a time that I'd rather describe being very short-termed in a way. I enjoyed meeting people a lot, I think It's one of the most beautiful things in life, meeting people you go along a piece of the way. in only four weeks i'll be leaving. The week I just spend in saint malo was like the goodbye-journey from my classe- I know every single one of them since over 4 and a half years now and I think we really got close. 
Anyways- i am a little exited, a little scared, maybe even confused and probably a little bit happy too ;) 

Gonna run- see ya  ♥

practicing coing home.

It's 11 am, saturday morning. at about 8 am, I arrived back in germany, coming home from our yearly classtrip. we visited saint malo, a little coast town westly paris.
it was a good week and we enjoyed hanging out a little before things change.
In only 4 weeks, I'll be leaving to argentina and I really can not believe it now- Isabel read one of my last post and told me that it sounded really sad. I really dont wanna be misunderstood- because I feel like I'm all exited and happy for the times that'll come. Still, i am a little consious.
Anyways- my next week is the last of school this year. Monday I'll be golfing and on thursday and friday project days in karlsruhe will be planned- it'll be pretty easy.
Tonight the ,,happiness"-festival in pforzheim is going on, but i didnt think of getting cards and I am really tired so I guess I'm staying home. or i'll change my mind in 20 minuits.
Well- I'm spending my morning with watching scrubs and sleeping. Planning the next week will be kind of annoying- i'll really need to check everything i want to do will be fitting- since times go by too quick... Well then- have a great weekend !

friday, again.

Fridays.can be the most amazing days ever and the worst. This is the worst. I have had a bunch of wonderful fridays in the last couple of weeks, maybe even the best days ever. But today is just a day i wish i could start again. LAst night i had a pretty exhausting discussion, and i need to say that my oppinion was wrong- witch does not make anything very much easier. I am in school right now, i am in school and accually blogging. My eyes are swollen, i overslept, i killed my blowdryer and my voice is totally gone. Tonight were having a gig down at the summer festival, just a couple songs- but still annoying that i cant sing at all. I may go home and get some sleep, drink tea and get rid of the fucking headache I have. And I'm hungry. I need a sandwich. Anyways- wish me luck for the rest of my day.. Kisses!

the last afs weekend before leaving...

On friday afternoon I left Ettlingen to go to Stuttgart, Leonberg for the last preparation weekend before leaving to Argentina. The people were great and it was crazy how quick time passed.
We learned a lot about southamerica- and argentina.
The place I'm going to is called ,,Pergamino", it's in the state of buenos aires, and I cant wait for the summer- on the other hand though, I am kind of afraid, still.
Last night, Mum told me that she couldn't really believe giving me away as a kid- and getting me back grown up. I think I can count the days of still being a little girl- and I think that time has accually passed before.
About 104 000 people live in pergamino- a pretty and more or less small place, I'm going to spend my next year in.
the plaza of pergamino is the main place in town.
I'll just wait for the next couple emails i'll get- and then I guess i can say more.
Have a great day!

belonging.

Since I came home from the last week of vacation this year I am really getting to the point of questions. New information about family and places I'm staying. it kind of seems to get real now, and It's not only paperwork anymore. I think the point of imagination and reality is pretty hard since just everything that started being built up in the last years just kind of is crashing down. People I know, places I've been to and things I just do everyday- nothing will accually ever be the same. This is like walking over THE line.
The last year was great for building up a ,,normal" way to get through the days and there are some moments where I really think, I am where I belong. But now, am I giving it all back up? I can't really tell If I'm going ,,backwards" now.
I'm just getting ready for the last AFS weekend before my exchangeyear- just packing some stuff and listening to some songs I kind of got to know down in France. Two days ago Yassi- one of my best friends- left to africa for three months. I really wish her all the luck she can have and I cross my fingers, that she has an amazing time!
People come and go, and just a couple days ago someone told me that some people really want you to trip and fall on your way- i never noticed that It's the right thing to let go sometimes- I'm not good at letting go, I think. i'm not ready to let go, because then I'll never know what I'd be missing.
Taking this step is hard- and easier than I thought at the same time.

Today was just school, the seniors-prank day- it was fun and we spendt our time up in the classroom watching a horror-movie (I swear- I'll never go into a big mansion on my own ever again...).
In only a week i'm going back to the beach in France with our classtrip. Then another week of school, the festival- and then It'll be over. i already wrote the last chemistry-test of my life (and failed) and I will definetly never write a frenchtest ever again. The thought of that is a little confusing, I find.
Anyways- we had a barbeque at 10 am in school this morning and all that was missing was kronenbourg...

I gotta get going- get back to you! (tgif!)
