VACATION!

South Padre Island, January 5th

Loran and Gary go to their cruise today, so I will stay at Steffen's until next sunday. Since we have no school until Thursday, Steffen, Daniel and I decided to go on vacation. Steffen and i aren't allowed to travel without an adult, so we had to take Steffens hostfamily with us.

We went to South Padre Island at the Gulf of Mexico. We stay at a Holiday Inn. the room is okay, but we won't spend much time in it.

In the evening we went to the beach, but the water was to cold to swim, so we bought some soda and chips and chilled at the hot tub of the hotel. Actually we spend most of the day at the hot tub. Someone told us we had to leave, but he didn't care much that we stayed even after he told it us a second time. 

We watched Lucha Libre (mexican show restling) until about 4 a.m. I guess.

No school

Austin, February 4th

I woke up early to see online, if we have school. Nope, we have almost an inch snow, to much for the Texans to go to school. It wasn't very cold outside. I went in pajamas outside to 'ski' in the driveway.

Tonight I went with Steffen, Jessi and Melina, a German exchange student who lives somewhere downtown Austin, to a Rave in sixth street. The first DJ sucked, we went outside again and walked aroud at sixth street. When we came back a band started, they were okay, but really good was just the last DJ. Unfortunately we had to leave already at about 1230, so we didn't hear much of him.

But it was still a nice night.

Freezing cold

Austin, February 3rd

Apparently it's freezing outside, so school was two hour delayed. Tomorrow the school might even stay closed, we have a 80 something % possibility of snow.

It's dark inside

Austin, February 2nd

It was Signing Day. That means a lot of very good Ranger athlets signed their letters with their future Colleges. And of course the football team was expected to be there. On the way to school Loran and I recognized, that the traffic lights didn't work. Loran was concerned that the school wouldn't have electicity either. And really, we waited about 15 minutes in Study Hall without light. Then finally we could start with the sign ups and taking photos and all that stuff. We needed longer than planned, and of course we started later, so we came to late to class. Just a little bit, and my class started later, too, so I hardly missed something. 

Has Black and Yellow anything to do with the Steelers?

Austin, February 1st

Second day of max out in football. My power clean is a whole lot better than last time. More than my own weight!

I found something important out today. Like most people, and prett much every American knows, is on Sunday the SuperBowl! The Pittsburgh Steelers play against the Green Bay Packers.

In the radio they play all the time the song 'Black and Yellow' and today came me the thought, this song came out, short before the SuperBowl, and the title are the colors of the Steelers, is it possible that the song has something to do with the Steelers?

So I wrote a text message to the only person from who I know, that she is Steelers fan and asked her. And the respond was: 'The song has everything to do with the Steelers!'
