Hey strangers!! :)

Hi guys! :(

So, first of all, I'm really, really sorry that I only posted like two things since I'm here, but I'm just super happy!! After Anna gave me the advice to try to post something everyday, I decided to TRY (!) it!! :) I think it'll be so much easier because I would probably know, what to write about :D

Okay.. So this time, I'm gonna write something about the last month, so October:

The October went by soooo fast! It's just crazy! The first week wasn't that interesting, which means that it was interesting for ME because I see and learn so many new things everyday, but it probably won't be interesting for you guys out there in Germany! So the only important thing was my mom's birthday ;) After that it was my aunt's birthday :) Okay. Whatever. So October, 18, was Clara's birthday and it was just awesome! Danielle and me made an amazing birthday cake one day before Clara's birthday and I got some little presents. Then on her birthday, we went to her house and surprised her with the cake and some presents and we were singing Happy Birthday :)) After that she came to my house and Danielle, Clara and me watched a movie and just had fun! :) (We were playing with my little (host) siblings, too, of course!! ;) ) The week after that, on the 23rd of October, we had our first Choir concert! The topic was kinda like "Africa" and it was just amazingly awesome!!!! We were singing two traditional South-African songs ("Tschotscholoza" & "Nginangina"), "Keep your lamps" and "Africa" from Toto!! It's a song from the 80s or something and I just love it!! :) We were wearing gowns! It was just an amazing feeling, standing there on stage, wearing a teal-colored gown with a golden sash on it!! :) Love it!!! So.. The concert was amazing and we got many compliments from other students, parents and teachers. It also was a combined-choir concert, which means that all different choirs of our school sing their songs and then in the end we sang "Africa" together, so there were like 250 people, singing this beautiful song at the same time!! Sorry, that I'm repeating myself so much, but it was AMAZING!!! :) Our school has a "Madrigals" choir and only the best Juniors and Seniors can sing in this choir, which means that this is the BEST choir in the whole school. My best friend Clara is in "Madrigals" and she had a solo: AWESOME!! They sang a song called "Earth Song" by Frank Ticheli and it's so beautiful, so I...No!...everyone had to cry!! :)...Now is the time to look it up and to listen to it. You don't even have to understand what they're singing, just listen and relax!! (The real version is the one called "EARTH SONG by Frank Ticheli- CENTRAL ISLIP" on YouTube!!)

Okay. Anyways... :)The days after the concert weren't that good because my little host cousin Austin died. He was only 12 days old and it made me sad too.. :(

Then there was Halloween and it was awesome. I went trick or treating with my little siblings and my host parents and my host uncle Jonny's family! :) (Yep! Our family is huuuuuge!! :) ) So, we went trick or treating all together and with was great fun!! :) An then it became November and with the November, the snow came too!! We had snow on November 4 and we still have some!! We don't have that much, but there's still a thin layer of snow in our yard :) And tomorrow is my granny's birthday!! ALLES GUTE, OMA!!! :) HAB' DICH LIEB!!! :)) ❤️

So.. I guess, that was everything for now :) I'll really try to post something every second day, though! :)

Love,

Charly :)

P.S. And again! If you have a question, just ask!!! :)
