This past weekend, Australians, Americans, Liasons, and Parents alike all went to Winter Park to have a fun filled weekend of snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, tubing, making snow angels, snowball fights, and having an absolute ball!
On Friday Afternoon, Evan and I ventured to Megan's house to help her film for a simulated drunk party for an English project she was doing... May I just say that it was soooo much fun! Had the best time pretending to get drunk, falling over, raving, playing with the cat, laughing, and eating Evan in a doughnut suit. May I just say it was the best party ever :)
Friday Night, Jay, Abby, Brianna, Evan, and I all drove up after gratuitous amounts of procrastination we decided to drive up to the place where we stayed at even after the snow storm blocked off I25. We were the last to arrive, other than peggles and craig, and we played cards, had a few laughs and went to bed.
Woke up in the morning feeling quite tired and cold, i looked out the window and i saw that there was EXTREME amounts of snow.... well... from MY point of view it was extreme. After we got ready, which took long LONG time, we went to the Winter Park ski resort where we were to go on our adventure :)
Can i just say that even though i'm not the best at it, i'm pretty chill at snowboarding! Its SOOOOO much fun! after the first half of our lesson we had lunch and met up with peggles then, and then we had our best run of the day. I really want to go again before i leave :) i love snowboarding! Its harder than it looks! When we got back that afternoon my afternoon consisted of, sleeping, making fun of eric and chase, takng codral cold and flu, sleeping, showering, eating, playing the 'white elephant gift exchange' game, watching home videos (which made me cry!), youtubing stuff, and staying up til 2 a.m. :)
Sunday morning we woke up reletivly early (10 a.m.) and got dressed and ready. We said goodbye to biannca, kelly, bronte, eric, and chase, and then the Sutton/Goffer, Parker/Davey, Phalens, Longwell/Yale, Pages, and Hammer/Thorsby families all went to go tubing :)
OMG! THIS IS SOOOO FUN!!!! especially if you go down on your stomach ;) thanks haileigh for making me do that :) it was sooo much fun to slide down the giant iced hill with my friends/family/liason families :) we did some pretty epic formations (star, thousand people in a line, two people holding hands) and it was fun :P
afterwards brandon, evan and i had a) snowball fight, b) tackling fight, c) made snow angels with genetailia, d)tripped over in snow mounds :)
all i can say is it was a fun weekend :)
love you all! DONT WANT TO LEAVE!
peace out !

and then there was three
After Thanksgiving Break, I had an epiphany.
I only have three weeks left of an American School experience...
scary huh?
Spirit Week:
Monday: Winter Comfort Day - pretty cool, abby, evan, and I all wore our ugly christmas sweaters to school which was funsies :)
Tuesday: Stoplight day - i wore green because i have noone to ask :) but you know, being single isn't bad :) I quite like it :)
on monday and tuesday afternoon Abby and I went to the gym to be Fergalicious and work on our fitness
(I'll be up in the gym just working on my fitness he's my witness...oooh ahh... and they'll be lining down the block just to watch what i got....i'm fergalicious).. yes ok that was a lame joke!
anyways, i discovered that i have a lot of leg power... but no arm power... so i'll be going there a whole lot this week to work it up!
Wednesday: Disney Day- on tuesday night i realized that i don't have a blue dress, NOR anything that looks like any sort of disney character, so i wore a sign that said 'I am WALT DISNEY'... until some of my friends pointed out that he was a nazi and an all round ass whole... so i am no longer Walt Disney, but I wore Black and White to symbolize a creature in the background of his old school Mickey Mouse work (so yes STILL SPIRITED!) my favorite costume of the day though was a guy who dressed up as Tinkerbell... whoever he is.. he is now my idol!
wednesday after school Kelsey and I had Christmas Concert Rehersal.. I sang and sang and sang and sang and went home and slept :)
Thursday: Class Pattern Day: I wore a striped dress...because stripes were for Juniors... and I am a Junior... good day. haha, nothing special happened this afternoon. I came home and slept til 7 and when i got up it was too late to go to the gym... didn't work on my fitness :/
Friday: SPIRIT DAY! - I wore my tigers slacks, white tennis shoes (canvas), my orange tigers tank, and a white cardigan. yes.... i did go all out and write LHS on my forehead. no.... I didn't write it backwards like Karen in Mean Girls. (phew!) but yeah. good day, had fun walking around with Tia during first :)
PEP RALLY was freaking awesome... soooo cool... come on Australia, we need to have these and become cool like America, these are the best things EVER!
After the pep rally we had regular classes and after school I had choir rehersals until 5:30.. .
yeah, i am sick with a cough, and i sang.... not the best idea in the world.
After rehersals (and a long wait to get a ride home) Marlyce, Evan and I all went to meet up with Zander, Kelly, Biannca, Maddie, Brandon and others for the Golden Candlelight Walk. It was great to meet up with everyone and to meet new people!
Saturday: the Dance - ok, during the day i just kinda slept and layed around until i decided to curl my hair..
after an hour, and evan's COMPLETE saintly patience my hair was curled and styled to look pretty. afterwards i got dressed, ready, and went to dinner with Marissa, Shannon, Ryan, and Charlie.
After dinner we went to the dance, sure the setup was good and the lights were off (the ENTIRE time) but it just wasn't as fun as it could have been. it was still a good dance though :) i enjoyed dancing with Cassie, Tia, Brenden, Evan, Zander, Marissa, Ryan (for some parts), Taylor, and countless others!
I'll just have to remember, if i come back and go to a dance like that, to have a date. It just seems a whole lot funner with a date.
Sunday: rest, recooperate, homework?
today i was suppose to do homework :) but i didn't. which is what right now is suppose to be for :) i have lines to study, t.v. to watch, and i'm sure other stuff to do too.
but what did i do instead? slept, showered, picked out Christmas Tree's and a wreath, put lights on tree's, slept, shopped at the dollar store, printed out lines, slept, finished a book, and ate...
:)
I have two more weeks of school left and then about three weeks left in America after that. Which means that I will only see most of the people at the school for two weeks, and only live with the Hammers for about a month more and then no more.
Its sad to think that I've met all of these people, and I probably wont see them again.
I don't want to go home, because of the Hammer's, Lakewood High School, My Friends, People I see EVERY day, the crazy non-snowing weather, pretty much i don't want to leave in general!
I'm excited to see my Australian Friends and Family and I can't WAIT to catch up with them!
I just think about how much this experience has impacted on my life and how I wouldn't have known these people if I hadn't gone to that information night or filled out that application almost a year ago. It's scary to think that I wouldn't have met the great, amazing, lovely, fantastic people that I have if I didn't go on this adventure. And I'm soo glad that I'm here in this Amazing place with all of these crazily amazing people around me.
i love it here, i call it my home, i don't want to leave.
all of my friends i would just like to say that if you ever decide to visit me in Australia, you will have a home... (hint hint!!!)
peace out!
