Hi everyone!

It has been a bit longer since I updated my blog. That's simply because I hardly have time to do it. But now it's monday evening and the Chiefs (our Football-Team) is playing right now. I just went upstairs because I still don't get this game!
September 11th I had my first volleyball game. It's so confusing with the positions. I play the front row and I never stay at my place. But it's getting better. Tommorow is a home game that means dress up but more about that later. The next day (12th) was  football game at William Chrisman. There's always a students section where all the students are and cheer for the whole game. Mostly we lose but it's fun anyway. I like to go there.
Saturday was a Volleyball Tournament but just for the Varsity players. Me and Veronika volunteered and were there from 8am-noon. I had to do line judging and I was confused as always. But just as usually it got better after a while.
Monday was the due date for our Scavenger Hunt Project in Basic photography. I love this class it's so much fun and the pictures actually turned out very well. I'm so proud!
This week we had three! Volleyball games. They put so much effort in their sports and they really love it. Many americans are very athletic not like you see it in TV but there are too much overweight people.
That weekend we had the AFS-Camp. Sometimes it was a bit boring because you didn't know what you should do. But it was still very intresting to meet people all over the world.
I left the camp a bit earlier because we went to the American Royals. That's a huge horse show. They rode English too or at least they tried it didnt' really looked like it but they looked great in Western. And it was so funny a lot of horses had actually a fake tail. Their owners made extensions for the tail! It didn't look natural at all.
Sunday my hostparents took me to the Plaza Art Fair. There were artists from all over the United States. It was very interesting and the Plaza is so beautiful!
A week ago I took my senior pictures but I don't have them yet but you gonna see them. I really hope they look kinda good! In the evening we drove to Kansas City and ate at a Brazilian Steakhouse. The chiefs just go around with their own meat and bring you as much as you can eat and it's all different. You have a card on your table with a black and a yellow side. When the yellow side is on top it means they still can bring you meat. Black side on top means your done. I ate so much!
Tuesday I went to my first Sporting Kansas City Game. They won 3 to 0 and the atmosphere was amazing.
Thursday we went on a fieldtrip with the school. We visited a theatre and watched the play "Our Town". It was very different but still good and intresting. I didn't even have problem to understand them. To speak English gets easier with every day I've been here. And I'm already confused when I have to speak Swiss German!

Friday was a Footballgame again. Against one of the best teams in the area. So we lost 14 to 49. But no one really cares and we all just have fun. The theme was cowboys.
Saturday I had a Volleyball tournament and we were 4th from 6 teams. I was so tired by the time I got home!
In the evening I went to a bonfire and it was so much fun. I love bonfires and the evenings are always so nice here. Never too cold or too warm.
So Sunday I skyped with my family and friends I really enjoyed it even if I was so tired because I had to get up at 7am and didn't sleep for that long but it was alright.
At noon we went to Josi's house and together we went to Worlds of Fun. That's a big fun park that is about 20 minutes away from here. It was a great day.
Today was the first day of Spirit Week and we all had to dress up as our Favorite Sports Teams. I didn't bring a shirt from Switzerland so I just wore a Royals (Baseball) shirt from my hostmum.

Bye, Sandra

Hi everyone!

I just woke up and thought that I could write something in my blog so here we go.

Last Sunday me Ciera, Ronnie and Luca went to

Selfie with a Bear

Kansas City to the Oak Park Mall, that's a big shoppingmall because we need a cute dress for the Homecoming ball but we didn't find any dresses we like. So after we were done Ciera's mum brought us to the Soccer Game from Ciera's little sister. They won 2:0. Soccer is very popular here and almost all the guys at school play it. Soccer season ends at the end of october and then the basketball season starts.

Just cuties! ♥

Volleyball Tournament

Football Game

In school we had to dress up in the colors of the school that means blue and gold. That was on monday. The next time the STUCO-class dressed up in jeans and a black shirt because we made a flashmob for all the students so they know which theme the Homecoming will be.
It's going to be a HAUNTED HOMECOMING!
I'm so excited for Homecoming all the girls are going crazy and the guys asked the girls in the cutest ways I wish the boys in Switzerland would be a bit like here!

Volleyball Game

Exchange Students

At Tuesday we had a BBQ with the focus class it was so much fun. We went to the home of the teacher which you would never do in Switzerland.

Wednesday the last exchange students arrived here. We have now a boy from Italy and a girl from Thailand and you just see yourself in them a month ago.

FOCUS-Class 

wiht ma german girl

Thurday I should have played my first volleyball game but they didn't let me play I don't know why maybe I'm too bad. :p But this week we have 3 games and she said I'm going to play in the front row. I hope I don't mess up.
Friday we had a football game and we lost again! Our team isn't that good but it's always fun because all the students go there and the school spirit is awesome. So after the game I went to my neighbours house Sean because he had a little party.
The next day I volunteered in the volleyball tournament at Chrisman. Me and Veronika from Finland were there for like 4 hours.

bonfire @ Vincents

Gloria picked us up after we were done and Veronika came to my house. She slept here because she went to the party too. So we went into our hot tub for maybe a hour because we can't use the pool anymore. It turned cold so fast. Gloria explained to me that we either have Canadian air or Mexican air. It went from over 100 degrees to 50 degrees in a week. The weather is crazy here. But it doesn't bother me because finally I can use the hot tub!

Tractor pulling

Hellen, Veronika, Matteo, Daniel, Ciera and me met at 5 at the Independence Center. It's so cool that you get to know so many people from different coutries. We had Germany, Finland Italy and America. Ciera was the only American girl yesterday so we called her the foreigner. We went shopping, again! And after the shopping me, Veronika and Ciera went to a tractor pulling. I'ver never seen something like this before. It was crazy. We stayed there maybe an hour and after that we went to a bonfire at Vincents house. I have so much fun here!

Hi everyone!

This weekend wa very busy! Friday I went to my first football game. I have to say that's a weird game but it was fun.
 Saturday, me Luca from Switzerland and Josi from Germany went to the mall in Independence and bought many clothes. At least me.. The mall is so big and they told it was a small mall.Anyway after the shopping we went home and later at 6 o clock we met at the Independence Square. This is like the meetpoint in this city and there was a big festival with music, rides and all kinda stuff. Everyone came with a wine or beer bottle and no I didnt drink something! They love their root beer! It isn't really a root beer it's just called like that and it smells like Jack Daniels or something. So all the kids walked around with their fullfilled winebottles. And there was so much food! I had a turkey leg and it was so good but so groose to eat! We sat on the grass a while and talked and at about 11 o clock we left the festival.
Kat, Ciera and Tasia, friends from school, came to my house and we had a sleep over. At midnight we jumped in the pool. It was freezing!! But so much fun and I have to say, the Americans are crazy about their phone and they're making pictures of literally everything! Even if it's just their "healthy" meal they ate at lunch. After we dried we watched the movie "Bad Neighbours" because there is Zac Efron in it. But Kat fell asleep after like 5minutes.
The next morning Gloria made Blueberrie-pancakes for us. They're awesome!
Later we went swimming again and then they left at about 1pm.
I tanned a little and enjoyed the sun which you don't see that often in Switzerland. Sometimes there's a storm in the morning but when I come back from school the sun is mostly shining.
On Monday we had no school because it was Labor Day. We went at 9pm to the Truman Highschool because the Varsity Volleyball team had a game against Truman. The rivality between these two schools is so big. A few student don't even talk to students from Chrisman it's funny.
Later we went to SantaCaliGon again and had how could it be different, Root Beer!After they were pleased we went to Lucas home because he has  homecinema! It's awesome. We watched Paranormal Activity 4 the first real horror movie I've ever watched and I wasn't even scared. It was more a funny movie I had to laugh the whole time because Kat was so scared!
So today is thurday and I'm at home because I have a cold, probably from the night swimming but tommorow I'll go to school. There will be our first football game at William Chrisman.

And Missouri is so beautiful I'm in love with it!♥

Bye, Sandra
