More than half of the Spring Break is over and I´m so happy that we don´t have school. To get to sleep in is awesome. Unfortunately we didn´t go anywhere like Florida, Hawaii or California like most of my friends. It is getting warmer here though and the snow turned into rain, but you still can´t get tanned. The time after swim season was very relaxing, although my Aquatics class is almost like morning practice during season – I won´t get out of shape. And in my 500free I increased my time. Only about 2 seconds, but it felt good to see that I didn´t loose everything from season. We recently had an incredible production of Footloose in our High School. I saw it three times with different people and probably could have seen it more times. The cast was huge and all of them are so talented in acting and dancing. And the singing was awesome. Even an Exchange Student from Spain participated. Just an awesome musical. A Fiddler on the Roof from the Civic Theatre with Amanda and Andrew in Cast and Crew was a great show and super successful. The second preformance and all following ones were sold out and they added one more, which was also sold out. The reviews and 4/4 stars in the Grand Rapids Press probably helped a lot. The next performance at Civic Theatre is the Musical „Legally Blond“, for which Andrew will probably audition too and the High School will do „Alice in Wonderland“ in May. In my English class I just finished to read „Twelth Night“ by Shakespeare. The language was pretty weird and hard to understand, including the mandatory „thy“ 🙂 . It felt like reading some of the Classics in German class. Although it is still a little cold outside, we went on easter Sunday with most of the Playford family to a cornfield and started flying a training kite. It is about 3m long and even with not a lot of wind it can pull you pretty good. We even had two people getting pulled so strong they fell over. And it is almost like doing pull ups. The full sized Kite is with 12m across four times as big. I´m so excited to feel the drag from that one and eventually surf on Lake Michigan. There are a few pictures of not the best quality I took yet. They are in the Album under the link: https://picasaweb.google.com/108204582564821266521/ExchangeYear201213?authkey=Gv1sRgCMiYt_DT6prcwgE
