day 125. (kindof)homeworkday...

so today i woke up at 8.00 and tried to get up till nine o'clock. it was a heavy fight. but i won and got up and went joggin' immediately before i overthink it.. so i went running for 20 min. when i went out of the door i was like: something smells kinda strange here!? and it was the large amount of salt which was on the streets.. brrr.=S then when i got home i took a shower and after that i wanted to do homework but i forgot the brushes at home so i went with michelle to a store to get brushes. before we went there chris had to go and make himself a account(bank) during he did that sarah and i were working to get rid of my swissaccent. it was very funny. then we went to the craftstore to get brushes. when we got home i tried to do a bread it took me the whole afternoon. during the time when it had to rise i draw on my painting. that was the whole afternoon. then like at 6.00 michelle brought some pizza from pizza hut and we ate pizza. she brought some christmas ornaments. they didn't found one with my name on it so they gave me one which stands for friends forever. it's a glassbowl with lightning shiny lights in it. '^^ with the time i came on the point that i like to have a middle name too. so what do you think. at the end we got to too names: they suggested:
1. Nina Elaine Kurth (NEK)
2. Nina Susanne Kurth (NSK)
                                  
which is better? or better once?
please answer on this number: 1-989-492-6670
so then i finished working on my drawing. during that i watched bones. cool serie. love it.
when my bred was finished i let it cool out.. then i tried it and it was superdruper. liked it. michelle tried too..she liked it.
so now i have to go to bed cause everybuddy else is going too..

then after meeting we went on the empire state building. as we walked away from the building i was asking bri where are we going.? she was like to the building.. then i was like but it's over there and she was like och i'm so a bad leader .. but she's not..i can tell! then we went to the building and there was a man in a orange coat and he was offering us some cool thing we could stand in line for two hours and pay $37 or going to a sightseeingtour and don't stand in line for $42 then we were like we have to hurry up and so we decided with a worryed mind to get the tour and get up there.. then when we went with him to the place and paid there were others from our group there and we ask them how much they paid.. and they were like $21 for only up.. and we were like WHAAT, DIDN'T SAW THAT ONE COMIN'
then we ask the information and they were like that he totally lied to us and we paid too much. then we could wait for a half hour for getting our money back.. so we went up there for$20 as a sorry from them and we got ice cream.. so when you are in NY ask someone real befor just buy.!'^^

114. first day in groups

so we woke up and me and laura went down and ate breakfast. during our eating the other two took a shower. when we got up we did the reversal. as we were ready to go at 8.45 down in the lobby, the most of our trip friends were eating breakfast. so we left the hotel at approx. 9.15 but doesn't matter. then we went in the big city!!! there they let us out by the st. patrick church. we went in there and (that was my first time there) i liked it a loooooot!! it's really different for america. to see a church like this made me a bit homesick. or think about the holidays in italy. i liked it a lot. but as it was sunday and too the fourth advent there was a big thing going on..'^^ we left and our next goal was to visit the rockefeller center the ice skating rink. as we were there and took pictures we went to the central park. our next destination was to go iceskating in the park. so we walked trough the park a bit. then there was this big yellow bird. and we were taking pictures with it. then there was this woman who came to us and told us we had to give a donation. bri and me were like...WHAAT?? we have to pay for taking pictures.later on i realized that it's only a donation..=P then as we came to the rink we went down and went iceskating.. you get there and you have to pay for the shoes and as long as you can skating..($18)
then we skated there for like an hour. there were veery much people there and i was really exciteed. i loved it.'^^ like in the movies.'^^
 then when we went back there were those horse carriages where you could get a ride through the park, but they were like $50.. we went again in the city towards apple store. on the way we went by the ( http://www.nyc-architecture.com/MID/MID056.htm ) plaza hotel. all the girls from this group went in the hotel and looked for the restroom it was awesome nice in there... when someone wanna be nice to me invite me for dinner in there.. so when we got out we went in the apple store it was really crowded in there but nice. then we went towards the time square. then while we were walking there i saw tiffanys and i really wanted to go there. so i went in there with bri and we went in there and it was reaaalllly supernice. i wanted to see the tiffanyheart so we asked and it was in the third floor.. there were so many people standing by the lift so we went by the stairs. it was really a hard work out going up there. but it was fun.'^^
as we were up there and i saw the heart i felt cool..=P not that but yes it was really nice beeing in and up there.. but we had to go back and look after our group as we were there we only saw the half of it so we asked were the other were and they were nowhere we contact them but they were by the appleshop again. i think they understood smth wrong then we went to the rockefeller center again and said we will meet there. finally we found them again. we went to the timesquare and we went to american eagle. when you buy there something you can get in the down part and take a picture which later on appearce on the really biig screen outside. so we did this and we were veery excited to be on the BIG SCREEN!!! WOOHOO. then we went to eat something in the mcdonalds. after ate something we went to the bus and headed back home.. there in the hotel room me and our group watched a movie. it was a real funny one..=P
