Goodbye Connecticut!

I am so sorry that I didn't post anything in the last 4 month. So much happened! I changed host families and lived with my coordinator for a month. The play was awesome, I got so many compliments and I am really thinking about studying acting. It's crazy. Anyways - I went to my first potluck, I absolutely loved it. I went to New York City and Boston. Ohhhh and I had PROM - it was amazing. Why don't we have something like that in Germany? Germany is missing out.

So I changed host families but I still love them and care about them and we are still in contact. That makes me really happy. I am so grateful that I met those people and I wouldn't want a different First host family. After I decided to change I lived with my coordinator - for a month. It was okay, I am really thankful that she took me when  my organization was looking for a new host family. One of my friends  took me after a month in her home. We share a room and fight since than about everything, I love her thou.

The play was fabulous, I miss all my play buddies, we had such a good time together and the play was great. We got all three shows full and that was pretty amazing. I still know all my lines. Haha. I never knew that acting and being on stage could be so much fun. I love it and I am really considering studying it after I graduate.

My host aunt lives in New York City so my host sister, Charlotte, and I took the train from New Heaven to New York. It was a pretty long ride but I enjoyed it. I saw Central Park, the Empire State Building ( I didn't go up thou, because it was so expensive) Times Square. We got Tickets for a modern dance performance and it was really impressing.We went shopping A LOT, I mean with that - Every day. New York City is just like in the movies. We also visited some family in Boston, I saw the University of Harvard. It was sooo unbelievable cool! The USA is just crazy amazing.

My prom was on May 30th. It was on a boat and I expected more to be honest (because of the american movies and stuff) but I still had a lot of fun with my friends. Everybody was dressed up so nicely and looked beautiful.

However, my year in the States is in only 20 days over. I am leaving on June 30th and will be in Germany on the 1st of July. I am so happy to see my family and friends again, but I am also gonna be really sad to leave my friends and family here. I will definitely come back to visit.
