No, I am not dead!

I know I haven’t written anything here in a looooooooong time. I am really sorry about that. But you know how life goes. You are always busy and don’t find time to do anything. That’s how it is with me, school is taking up all of my time. I really hate it, but what can I do. I really need some good grades.
So now I am going to start catching you up on my life. I think I haven’t written anything since the end of last year. That is a shame.
In November I saw the movie “The Guardian” which I really liked. The only thing which was weird was the end, cuz there were like too many ends to it. The people who saw the movie know what I mean. Also I saw the new James Bond movie “Casino Royal” which I thought was pretty good. And I went to a concert, it was the German band “PUR”. They make German music for I think 25 years now, and I like it. I went there with my whole family and the family of my aunt, so we were a lot of people which was fun.
Also I went to collect mushrooms with my dad and my step mom and her parents, my brother and my stepsister. It is always fun, especially if there are a lot of mushrooms there.
Also I have been to an outside Halloween party with my dad cuz friends of him had been there and I hadn’t seen them In a long time, so we went to that party together.
Also I went out with friends, for example to a new cocktail bar once, to some birthday partys and sometimes we just met to talk or play games.
Then I had an accident with m mom. It wasn’t bad and nobody got hurt, but it was a shock for me. But now she got a new car because the old one was damaged afterwards and it was old already, so my mom got a new car which is very pretty.
One day I went to the zoo with one of my classes. It was fun because we had to watch the monkeys and it was still pretty cold so me and my group brought hot chocolate and cookies and had a picnic. That was fun, and we didn’t get cold.
Then I went to some Christmas markets a couple of times which I always like because then you get into that Christmas mood.
On Christmas Eve my grandma was there. During the day we baked cookies. Then we had a nice dinner, then we unpacked all the presents and then we went to church. After church I stayed there a little bit with my friends and we talked. It was a really nice day.
On Christmas Day we went out to a Restaurant with my grandpa and my dad and my aunts family and everybody. That was nice, too.
On the second Christmas Day we went to dinner to my other aunts house, together with my grandpa. That was nice there, too, especially because my aunts sister was there with her little son. He was really cute. And when I came home I went to the Christmas party at church with my mom.
On New Years Eve I stayed home with my mother, my grandma, my mom’s boyfriend, and his mom and sister with her boyfriend came. I also invited a friend. We had raclette, and I played some nice games with my friend. At midnight we had some sparkling wine to clink glasses. Then we went outside and had some really nice fireworks.
In January I went to the “Winter zoo” a couple times. It was in our zoo, they opened it in the evenings and you didn’t have to pay to get in. They had a hill where you could slide down with a sled, and they build up an ice rink. Also they had like a little winter village where you could buy food and some hot drinks. It was really beautiful.
From the 20th to the 27th of January I went skiing. I took the skiing gym course and then we went skiing for a week. When we arrived, there was almost now snow and everyone was really afraid that it would be a really bad week. But the next day it started to snow and then it snowed almost everyday. It was a a fun week going skiing with your friends. What wasn’t fun was that you always had to remember that you’d get grades for everything you do. But I didn’t think about that most of the time and just enjoyed going skiing with my friends.
On the 28th my brother had his confirmation. So we went to church in the morning and it was really nice. And then we went to a restaurant with a couple of people.
Then we had the handball world championship in Germany and we won, which was really cool.
And then of course there was the carneval. I went to a carneval party at our church which was a lot of fun.
And since then I have been busy with school, had to take a lot of tests, I tried to clean up my room ( ;-) ) and we had tow Chinese men who stayed nine nights during the fair here in Hannover.

The morning we went home a couple of us spend some time in a cute austrian restaurant, because we had to wait for the train.
