hi everyone again!!
iґm back after some time, sorry it took sooo long.
schoolґs finally over now and iґm on the best way through the holidays to my last round in that institution called school! :-)
if iґm really honest iґm a little sad that itґll be my last year!!! schoolґs not so bad after all!! believe it or donґt but thatґs my opinion!!!
summer this yearґs not quite summer: the weather was great when we still were in school and had no time to hang around at swimming pools and now that we have plenty of it, the weather sucks a lot!!!
but at least we had super great weather in france: the cфte dґazurґs just one of the greatest places iґve ever been and iґd go there again the very second if i could. thatґs really a place where i coud stay for my whole life........
dreams are something beautiful and itґs quite good to have ґem but too much of them are not good either, so letґs remember the great moments of france!!!
only these days a small part of russia struck me and my sister. a friend from moscow came over to austria for 12 days and we had a great time together, showing him many places in vienna to cool down on hot days...... swimmingpools!!!! :-)
due to the constant travelling through vienna i also learnt that there are also other ways to get to some place than the metro :-), there are busses and the tramway as well...... :-)
as far as i can say now i have no further concrete plans for the rest of the holidays, except for the summer camp in the middle of august, whichґs goinґ to be loads of fun as i guess and hope.....
well thatґs everything i can say about my life at the moment, if thereґs more to say youґre goan know it!!! :-)
love ya all

Привет!!!!
Вот это моя первая запись на русском языке!!!!!
Сегодня в школе было ужасно!! Никто постоянно хотел на уроках, все уже думали об пасхальных каникулах и делать в них, даже учителя не хотели работать. Лучший пример – наш учитель латийнского языка, он пришёл в класс и сказал, что не хочет переводить латийнские тексты. Ну, это нас совсем не мешало потому что у нас и была огромная лень. Так, мы сидели в нашем классе, слушали музыку, читали какие-нибудь газеты или просто делали ничего.
После школы мы с Schuh поехали в Вену, чтобы встретиться с итальянскими друзьями, которые приехали в Вену на 2-3 дня. Нам нужно было ждать почти один час и мы уже думали, что они хотели сыграть шутку с нами, но когда они пришли мы все очень рады. Жаль, что они были с нами только 2 часа, но во всяком случае было весело.
Счастливая пасха

hi everyone!!
big stress is over, everythingґs just normal again!!!!!!
at school we just do the same things as we always do, but well at the moment some of us are concerned with our dancing workshop. itґs really interesting and tough, much harder than it was last year, because this year our teacher has chosen songs none of us knew, so itґs a little ifficult to get used to them but weґre trying. those whoґre not trying are a little problem, because they might mess up everything!!
i have to confess that i had problems too, last friday because when i was in saalbach they changed a lot and i was like: "what the hellґs goinґon ???" but by know i think that i got it!!
for all of you who have been waiting for it: hereґs a new part of my story!!
enjoy it
love

"Now we had to wait for the tram and our teacher told us to get out at the 5th station. The tram inside looked almost the same in vienna, no seats were left so we went to the back of the wagon, sat on our suitcases and counted the stations. Some older people who heard us talking and didnґt understand us looked at us as if we were aliens, but we didnґt pay them any attention. There were more important things to se, at least for one of us. I think after the 4th station we suddenly passed the football stadion and Gerald was like over the moon when he saw it. For us girls that wasnґt really interesting.
After we had got out of the tram we had the next little problem, which just waited to be solved. The street where the tram had stopped wasnґt quite the street in which the apartments where. The owner of that house had given our teacher a description of how to get there and she even had a little map, but it didnґt really fit with reality and our teacher couldnґt remember the description exactely. We looked each other into the face, shook our heads, just as if we knew that this wasnґt the last problem weґd have on this journey, thereґd be many others but somehow we had expected that anyway, our teacher has never been a talent for organising things. Why should it now be different?? We couldnґt do anything so we stood there like ordered and not picked up and watched our teacher how she tried to talk to several people, to old ones as well as young ones, but there was one interesting difference: to the old people she talked in russian and a little bit in czech (as far as she knew it) and with the young people she spoke english. Later when she knew where to go she told us, that most of the old people speak russian quite well and the young learnt english at school, just like we do. while we were walking to the apartments Hannni asked me whether she could put her bag, which had no little wheels on ist bottom and which ws rather hard to carry, on my suitcase, because mine was rather comfortable with itґs wheels. With one bag over the other we continued and finally reached the house, where the apartments were.
From outside it didnґt quite look like that, but once you stepped in it was rather nice, not like we had expected it to be, because they were rather cheap. Our apartment was on the second floor and we put the suitcases into the elevator and went upstairs. The apartment i shared with Agnes and Hanni was number 10, the one of Nadine, Gerald and Schuh was not far away and the others lived one floor above us. When we went in we were shocked, but in a positve way: the flat was really beautiful, we had never even tried to expect something like that. It was almost to great to leave it again. We had a little kitchen, a bathroom with toilet a little corridor and a big room with 2 beds, a couch, which would be the third bed, a table and 4 chairs.
Agnes and i took the beds and Hanni would sleep on the couch. After we had put our suitcases into the living room – we had decided not to unpack them- our teacher came to tell us how much we had to pay for the apartment and when weґd leave.
We had some time to relax so i used it to put some things out of my backpack, which iґd not need for the walk through the city and i also finished the present for my host student. Hanni was writing to her boyfriend, for some reason that didnґt work quite well and Agnes started to write a little diary."

hi everyone!!
iґm back!! the worldґs got me again!!
anyway i had a great week, sometimes the one or the other little problem, but basically great fun!! i think everybody on thi skiweek knew me, first of all because i was the only girl from the 7th form and second of all because of our "special guests" !!
well i had many functions: shoulder to cry for the younger girls, the one who collected the money for every fall (in our group we had to pay 10 cents for each fall and at the end of the week we had collected 10 Ђ and went to some hut to spend it on non-alcoholic drinks), translater into russian and english, and so on, but i liked every function i had and i hope that i helped everyone as good as possible!!
going home was in fact a little sad, i really like this place, the snow, the flair and everything but in the morning there was something really spectacular going on. around 11 oґclock the sky started to turn red like blood and the light got like really dim and strange!! the explanation to that, which looked the apocalypse, was rather easy. a big storm had brought a lot of sand from the sahara to austria and itwas really great to look at, wow!!!
the second great thing that occured yesterday was the fact that our bus broke down, the drive belt mor less exploded and together with this the electronics broke down, as well as the servo steering and finally the battery didnґt even work anymore!! it was just perfect, i can tell you!!
next week however, will be really stressful, because now i have to learn all the things i missed that week, but well i think this trip was worth it and iґd do that again the very second!!
today thereґs also no story because i had no time so i wish you all the best!!
love

hi folks!!!
todayґs a real day to relax!!! no school and only 2 more days to go before the holidays!!
the weekend was great, on saturday in the evening i went out with my friends and my sister and we had a great evening!!
the belt exam is also over, iґm really happy i made it, though it was not as difficult as it was the last time around!! funny, coz i thought that iґd get thougher all the time but it did not!!
however, iґll try and do my best to move forward as quick as possible!!
last weekk i also decided to continue dancing school, at least for the next course and thereґll also be a dancing workshop, a good chance to learn some new moves and get some ideas for our own choreography!! i just love dancing!!
and right after one week of school, thereґll be our skiweek!!! one week of fun!!
well and for al of you, who have read the first two parts of the story and who are waiting for the next one, here it is!!! enjoy it!!

"In the plane, right before it started i tried to read all the czech words and so on, but i got bored soon, and when the plane started to move the stewardess started to speak. At first she spoke czech and i only caught a few words, which were about the same in russian and then she said everything in english and finally in german. Her pronouciation was not the best and sometimes i didnґt even know what she was talking about, because it was very noisy, but i think i caught the important things.
The flight itself was not really interesting at all. The stewardesses served some food and drinks, i couldnґt eat anything, so i tried to look at all the things under us, which had become so small, that sometimes it was difficult to say, what it actually was. The weather was rather good so most of the time i could see what was going on on the earth.
When we landed in prague i was really surprised, because the airport was really not bad!! It looked almost better than the one in vienna. After we had left the plane we had to enter a bus, just like in vienna, which brought us to some entrance.
We went into that hall and there it was: a huge crowd of people waiting at the passport control. So we all got there and waited. Some counters were closed, the others opened and the funny thing was that some of them suddenly closed and all the people in front of us moved to another one, which had just opened the very second.
The only thing we could do, was to wait for our turn so we talked about stupid things, watched the people around us, sometimes even laughed at them or listened to the grown ups.
Finally it was our turn and one after the other went through the control, we had officially entered the czech republic. The next thing to be done, was to look for our suitcases and some of us already found them before we all went trhough the control and right after that we looked for a counter to exchange our money. So for the first we had all we needed: our baggage and money, the next things to organise would be some bus or car to get us to the apartments.
Our teacher told us to sit outside in the sun, while she went back to the airport hall to ask for the transport. It took her rather long but thatґs what we had expected, because sheґs sometimes very disorganised and this was one of the moments.
I used the time to send my father a message with my mobile to tell him that we had arrived, the others used it to smoke and we also took some photos.
After a while, letґs say after 15 minutes she came back with some tickets for the bus and so we all got onto that bus. It was very comfortable, there were no seats left for us, so we had to sit on our suitcases. Our teacher told us that we have to get out of the bus at deijvicka, but anyway, there were some stations inbetween, so, time to talk about nonsense again. There was a voice in the bus which told you, which station was to be the next one, but the more people got onto that bus every station we stopped, the worse we could understand her, because it was not the best quality of soundsystem on that bus.
Another problem was that many of the stations had similar names, which made it even more difficult to understand this voice and at one point all of us belived that we had to get out at the next station, which we almost did. An elder woman, she must have been to prague several times, anyway she had listened to us for the whole ride prevented us from that mistake and we thanked her a lot, otherwise weґd had to wait about 20 minutes for the next bus.
Waiting for the right station to get out of that bus, i looked out of the window and sometimes i thought i was in vienna. Some streets had just the same type of houses and looked so similar to vienna that i almost forgot where i was, anyway it gave me somehow the feeling to be at home and not somewhere else.
Finally it was the right station to get out but there it was, our next little problem: to get onto the other side, where we should enter the tramvaj, we had to go downstairs into the underground and on the other side of the street we had to walk the stairs up again, believe me, that ainґt easy with a heavy suitcase!!!"

hi everyone!!!!! another week full of stress is over an one moreґs in front of me!! god, iґm really looking forward to the semester holidays, i really need a brake!!
like i promised iґll translate my story about russia to english so here it is, the first little part!!
"holidays, finally!! i donґt think that thereґs just any student who doesnґt connect this phrase with fun and freedom for at least two months. iґm one of the few who doesnґt, at least this summer, because for me it means to lose very good friends for at least one year.
it all started at the beginning of this schoolyear, when our russian teacher said that she wants us to participate in an exchange with russia, to be more precise, an exchange with moscow. at first we were all against that, because as we thought, it was impossible to communicate properly with young people our age after learning russian for 3 years.
but anyway, it was decided so and the closer it came to leave for russia the more we were looking forward to it, because it meant, that we didnґt have to go to school for at least 12 days, so it was not bad. the fact that we were a small group, only 7 people, six of us were girls, made it even more comfortable for our teacher and also us. she did not have so much work to keep an eye on us and we had the chance to make closer friends with the exchange stundents.
so finally we left on the 1. of may from "schwechat" and went at first to prague for one day, because there was no other way to get cheap tickets, but anyway it gave us the chance to see prague and to get mentally ready for russia."
this is the first part, there will be many others!!
all the best
