Guten abend! I'm bth glad and upset that tomorrow is Friday. I'm glad because it's Friday, so that means: weekend! I'm upset about it not being Friday TODAY. My mum wakes me up in the morning because I have a LOT of trouble getting myself up. She's at UVA with my dad visiting my sister. They're going to see a U2 concert.

So anyways, I've been enjoying school for the most part, but I'm not enjoying art as much as I thought I would be... We're really just doing still life, which I despise. I want to do portraits! Or sculpture! Still life? NOOO. And my world history 2 teacher's a... real winner. He's really vague about what he wants for vocab and stuff, and I can't stand the way he keeps mispronouncing names of Renaissance artists and other historical figures. The only thing I've liked about that class is the assignment we've been given for homework this weekend, which is to draw a perspective picture (because we're studying Renaissance art right now and perspective is a technique picked up in the Renaissance).

I've recently taken up an interest (or rather, RE-taken up interest) in German culture and language. I want to take it next year, but I want to go straight to German 2, because I already have an idea of the basics, plus I've got the entire year to brush up on them. Have any of you guys (by which I mean anyone who happens to be reading this) heard of Die Ärzte? They're a German punk/rock band I really enjoy.

In other really cool news, I've found on facebook a British friend of mine from second grade! And she remembered me! And she would have searched for me on facebook had I not found her first! We've been exchanging emails and it's been a lot of fun catching up with her. I haven't seen her since the third grade. You know something I found out that has been added to my list of Why I Would Rather Live in England? She's my age (fifteen, for those who don't know), and this is her last official year of school. After this (she's in 11th grade, because in the UK, while American kids go to Kindergarten, English kids go to first grade), she can go to this thing called sixth form or straight to university. Ah! I love my school, but MAN do I want to go to college already. And I'm only in my sophmore year... *sob*

Okay! That's about all I have for now, and actually I should start getting ready for bed. Gute nacht!
