Happy Thanksgiving to everybody, who reads this while it is still Thursday, November, 22. I´m sitting in the couch after a awesome day with the Playford family in the little town of Merrill, Mi.

Saturday was a nice day with no stress after a very short night with only 5 hours from 3.30 to 8.30. I got a bunch of Homework done and started playing guitar. Very exhausting for your wrist and you get horny skin on the fingertips. This moment I´m trying to learn Country Roads. It´s very… A awarded Weekend weiterlesen

This week was great! The Swimming-Sets for competitive are still a challenge and I´m sure they will be long in this status for me. But I love it! The activity wakes me up and I get in shape for the swimmingseason. American Studies is still awesome with Mr. Dekuiper as teacher. English not my favorite… What a life! weiterlesen

Friday we were in Grand Rapids at the Art Price festival. It´s like a really big exhibition… Last week weiterlesen
