When A Good Day Is Great.

Today was going to be a good day. I am excited for the Perth College Open Day tomorrow (like how I slipped that in there? More later.) and my Orthodontist appointment was over so I no longer had to worry about it. But a few things made my day even better… Firstly, in music I finally understood how to play a song that I had been struggling with. For me, this is ace because I want to do well in this subject and it stresses me out a lot when I just can’t grasp something. Then, in English I got my Personal/Reflective essay back and passed it at Higher Standard. Woop! I think it might have been a NAB because we didn’t get grades. Just a pass or a fail. So I am so thankful for that..! English is flipping hard. Then… then… in Art I have been working on a piece and it was seriously going horrifically. We had our reviews and the standard of my work was not at all Higher level. Then, I started this piece again, I have been going to the Art Department in my free periods and now its competing with one of the best Higher Art pieces in the department. Oh yeeea! I don’t usually brag about stuff like this but I am kinda proud of it because I really was struggling. It shows though that extra time and hard work pays off. A picture of it will be at the bottom of this blog post.

Anyway, you’re probably wondering where this sudden Perth College Open Day came from. Well, basically, I am planning on applying for German at a couple of universities and Music at some colleges. I mean, I’m applying for German because thats ‘my subject’ if you know what I mean. Like, some people are associated with being good at sciences or maths or English or art but I am good at German. However, it isn’t exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life. I enjoy it (most of the time) and I’m good at it but I actually want to study Music much, much more. So, I am going to Perth College Open Day because they have one of the best Music programs in the UK and I am hoping I will fall in love with it so that I will have even more motivation for it. I spend a lot of my free periods in the music department. I love going into a practice room and being able to just play and sing between classes. Sometimes I don’t feel particularly productive but I always want to go to the music department. That’s the thing about music. There isn’t a lot I can do in any mood I’m in but with music, I can be happy, sad, disappointed or confused but I’ll still always go back to my little practice room. I am gradually gaining confidence though, so this is good. Yesterday at youth group I sat, played guitar and sang for ages. People were walking past and around me and singing with me and I didn’t seem to mind. So we are getting somewhere. I would never have been able to do that a few months ago. Slowly but surely 😉 Anyway, back to Perth. Tomorrow I have the day off school to take a train down to the college. I have a tun of homework to do on the train or if I get there early (which I most likely will because I gave myself 2 hours to get from the train station to the college. It takes half an hour to walk to the college. Lol!) I am so excited and nervous! I will also post some pictures of the college so you can see! 🙂 images OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA webster

Today my cousin left Germany to fly back home. I always love it when she comes because we do have a lot of fun. So around noon Oma Rita drove me to Oma Ingrids house so I could be with Katharina and my auntie for a while before they left. While they were getting ready I went for a cycle around Peiting. When I came back Katharina and I done what we love best. Singing and playing guitar. We also ate luncg together. After lunch came a bit of stress trying to make sure the suitcases weren’t too heavy and that everything fitted in. Here we are:

I still had Oma Ritas bike so I ended up taking the train with them but I got off at Hohenpeißenberg and cycled to Oma Ritas. Wow.. Itsl is almost all up hill and its safe to say I collapsed into a chair when I got home. This is just when I wish I didn’t have athsma because I love cycling and it is harder having to stop a lot to take my inhaler but It gives me a sense of achievement when I’ve done it so I am glad:)
After saying my goodbyes I came back to my cousins and we went up Hohenpeißenberg for ice cream. After that epic cycle I was no way going to walk up so I just walked down afterwards which wad fun:)
Magdalena and I:

When we came home we ate dinner and went down to the lake for an evening swim and to see the sunset. Which is what I love. We had a bit of trouble with Oma Rita trying to take pictures 😀 but a randomer helped us so its all good!:D

Again, a beautiful day!

Today we cought the train around 10am straight to Karlsplatz in Munich. I spent the train journey reading my book and finished it in a cafe we stopped by in while looking around. I love the book! I must say.. I cried. Lol!! It is unpredictable and there is always something going on which leads you chapter by chapter. I have now moved on to reading ‘The Help’ which I have heard is a good film.

Anyway, we had a look around Munich where there was a market on with loads of cute stalls (gift hint!) I bought a couple of things that I am jelous of because I just love things like this!

image

I also went into to Newyorker (my favorite) and found some wonder sunglasses. Blue.. Of course!

image

While walking around we saw many playing instruments in the middle of the city where they of course have a lot of tourists come to watch. These were my favorite!

image

There are so many pretty buildings which I captured on camera.

We also went through the VERY expencive street with all the shops selling bags for hundreds. Thousands. We didn’t go in. We just walked passed and headed for the “Englischer Garten” which is apparently where all the students go to study. It is the 2nd largerst garden in Munich or Germany. I forget. It is so pretty! Peta, there was also a Japanese Tea Garden!! But we didn’t have the chance to look there although I really wanted to!!:(

I had another lovely day. I always love going to Munich!

Today was also wonderful. I spent the day with my cousin. She is leaving this Monday:( but today was great! The weather was beautiful and Katharina, my auntie and I headed into Weilheim. I needed gifts so I maneged to buy most of them but some I will try to find tomorrow. We also went to a cafe to cool our self down with ice cream or in my case, milkshake:) We took the train back to Oma Ingrid where I just could not stop reading. I read and took a break for dinner and then kept reading until my Dad came to take me back to Oma Rita. I am almost finished so I am getting to excited to know the ending but so so nervous about what is happening in the book just now. It is seriously my favorite book so far!! I love it… And it is keeping me hooked until the end. I had to force myself to stop reading so I can actually get some sleep for setting of earlier tomorrow. It was such a great day!

Just to let you know that I have arrived safely:) and currently it is 2am and I’m lying in my bed at my grannies. It has been such a long day! First of all drove to Edinburgh. Then, got a taxi to the airport, flew to Munich and took many trains to reach the small village of Hohenpeißenberg!
We arrived around 00.30 where Oma (granny) picked us up from the train station and drove us home. She so kindly made us food for when we arrived.. No matter what time of day or night it is we are always welcomed with a feast 😀 I am so full now and I am so so tired. Here are some pictures:)

image

Found bag heaven in the airport:D

image

I’m sorry but these are just my favorite suitcases EVER!! Too bad they were extremely overly priced.

image

This is my bedroom for the next 3 weeks. It is my uncles old room. I love it because it has a balcony!! Which you can’t see because its midnight:D

image

Goodnight!:)

P.s its lovely and warm here!!:)

Yesterday I went with my friend to Aberdeen. It was so much fun… here are pictures!
we got on the train on time.. there was a bit of confusion. Our coach (coach B) wasn’t even attached to the rest of the train 😀 then we realized we were on the wrong end of the train haha!! ImageImage

 

When we arrived, we went straight in search for TGI Fridays for lunch.
Image

Image

After lunch at TGI Fridays a smoothie made us feel healthy 😀 

Image

Image

Before catching the train back we of course got a Costa:) I got my new favorite drink – a caramel Chai Latte and Emma got a Gingerbread Latte. Large, of course:D
Image
Image
Shopping resulted in this….

This Friday I am heading off to Aberdeen for the day with my friend. We are going by train (that excites me!) and spending the day there. I was planing on buying some clothes for Summer. I am hoping it’s going to be really warm. Usually in the 30’s 🙂 lovely! So, here are some ideas of what I have in mind:
