If you wonder why you balancing in physical education on a balance beam and obstacle course completed, one has never seen Russia in the rain. On Thursday I'm balancing on curbs along as footpath and road in some places were equally flooded. Wet-Ekelwetter as early as last Thursday.
In school, I joked with Natalie (the best in class) and Nastia (which gave me a bracelet) around. At one point I said jokingly, "You are stupid!" I conjugated a mistake so I said, "You are a madhouse," I was enlightened about my error, which again led to hearty laughter
In biology Vlad. I eat biscuits and drink tea again invited. Jeha! I wanted to be polite and not eat all the biscuits. The teacher saw during their hour or so after her and asked us why we were outraged not eat. When she appeared for a second time, they said we could still turn the next time the computer when we should be boring. In such moments, I love the Russian mentality!
Friday was "Day of the pumpkin. An extra holiday invented to replace what Halloween. When I talk with my classmates, I keep hearing the line that we like to celebrate Halloween, but Halloween happens to be an American holiday and we can not even so easily just in Russia feiern! Weshalb der „Tag des Kürbisses“ eingeführt wurde- also derselbe Feiertag nur in Kürbis und damit sofort machbar an einer russischen Schule…
Viele waren verkleidet, Süßes wurde verteilt, die Schule war geschmückt, kleine Gewinnspiele standen zur Teilnahme aus- man hatte sich wirklich Mühe gegeben. Alles in allem ein bunter, lustiger Schultag – besonders lustig für mich, denn ich bekam in Physik und Englisch eine 5.
Das Begrüßungskommitee am Tag des Kürbisses- sehr fröhlich!
Kolja, Nastja , Natascha und Sonja
Um 15:30 begann der „Herbstball“. Draußen lag Schnee. Im Oktober einen Herbstball abzuhalten ist durchaus passend- nur der Blick aus dem Fenster lässt einen Winterball für angemessener erscheinen.
Der Ball fand im Versammlungsraum der Schule statt. Einige kamen in Kostümen (schließlich war immer noch Tag des Kürbisses) und wieder andere in Abendgarderobe. Wieder fiel mein Blick auf das Schuhwerk der minderjährigen weiblichen Ballteilnehmer… 15-20cm Absätze…*hust* ich habe von einer Freundin mal ein solches Paar anprobiert. Das Laufen in ihnen ist eigentlich gar nicht so schwer- nur bin ich dann fast 1,90m hoch und das ist eindeutig zu viel!
Zunächst präsentierten einige Klassen selbst gedrehte Filme oder einstudierte Stücke, Then the lights were insulated, the music is turned on and turned up the bass. By then I realized that the word "ball" is a code word for more party was. I celebrated with so and left the dance floor until I realized that despite the supervision of the teachers increased the alcohol level of some celebrants (of course without the teacher knew something like this).
Bottom Line: "Day of Kübisses is Halloween - just two days earlier"
The last day of school before the holidays! New snow which covered the roads and dirty gray house with white left, Cheboksary appear calm and pure. I went for the first time my new winter boots-my Ugi! The snow crunched beneath them when I am with Ksjoscha on the way to school made. It was nice and warm in my footwear. Minus 20 ° C should be without extra socks to keep loose in them.
After four normal school hours, in which both teachers and students watched impatiently for the advance of the clock, there was a little appeal. All classes met in groups of their grade-I stood at the ninth-graders. How strange. Sometimes I forget that I was in Germany back in the 11th Class would be, so I would be here already final year, because there are only 11 grade levels at a Russian school. It
certificates for 5 students and special services were distributed. Ksjoschas friend Sasha is a 5 student and allows the know-all so it should not come up with the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving an ordinary classmate sitting in front of him. Once again, right censoring and performance do not match. Sascha is lazy and does no more than necessary-but 5 students with honors ...
In the subsequent meeting only as a class were announcing the grades. Here there is a different system than in Germany. The school year is divided into quarters. Each student has in his homework book a pre-printed table. There he carries per school quarter during the school subject his overall grade-then it is by the classroom teacher by a signature validated.
I have received no "certificate" even though I've been censored in some subjects.
about 13:00 clock, we were finally dismissed for the holidays! For me it started the best part of the day. I was invited by Sonja with her, Nastia and Natasha to cook. I would learn how to bake scharlottka!
We walked a little way up to Sonya's apartment.
Sonja took me through the apartment. There is even a playroom for the little sister! I had immediately thought of my own sister, for she would smile at the sight of the swing in the room certainly up to his ears and rocking right away.
We went into the kitchen. Sonia's mother was introduced to me. Typically Russian. We were not even really in the kitchen and the first question was:
"Are you hungry? ! You have to eat "
Sonja replied," Mom, we make it equal to pizza and scharlottka "
" So what? Some bread to eat any! "Her eyes fell on me.
"Sit down! Eat! You are terribly dry, "I could not resist a grin. The winner of this round was set. We sat down and ate salad and finished cuts. That is, I was forced to eat twice, because after all I am "terrible drought. Sonya's mother
knew we wanted to cook alone, and had therefore agreed to take Sonia's father to dacha, so we had the apartment for us. But it just was not to move to leave.
mother: "So you want to cook? You know at all how to do scharlottka? Wait I'm voting 'you the apples "
Sonja:" Mama we ourselves can choose apples "
Mother: Yes, yes I'll be gone I just quickly wash the apples"!
Sonja "Mama! We can wash themselves and cut apples! "
Nastya: "Honestly! I have only the day before with my mother scharlottka baked, we know how! "
...
After they had interrogated us what ingredients were needed in what amounts to a scharlottka and Sonja would be because the spectacle of her mother nearly hit the roof they left us alone at last.
We then baked pizza and scharlottka-both very tasty. We had a great time-it was a wonderful afternoon. Here are some pictures:
Nastya (which gave me the bracelet) and Natasha (the class) with scharlottka
scharlottka is actually a normal Apple pie here with black currants decorated
Sonja:)

And here the lengendäre photo: crowd Lotta with scharlottka When Sonia's mother returned
to 6, made Nastya, Natasha and I are on the way home. Sonya's mother talked briefly with me. How I was and whether I would feel comfortable here. She recognized my knowledge of Russian - she said, "Now, she speaks normally" Finally someone is not what I believe miracles can how well Russian ...
We were about to leave the apartment when she called me back and said: "It's cold outside! Wait, "you took my already umgebundenen, from a scarf, put up the collar of my coat and wrapped the scarf around my neck again. "Otherwise, you freeze to death! Are not you cap? "" No, it's not so cold outside. I need it yet! "An indignant look, but they pushed us.
soon as I was out I tied my scarf back to my usual no-collar high-alternate method. This led in turn to laughter of my friends.
honest! I am alone in Russia and almost 17! This is not the first winter for me and with the current temperatures of -5 ° C. I am quite familiar! Here's a warm greeting to my own mother: Thank heavens you're not a mother hen!
Natasha and Nastia took me until the bus stop. I hope we do something like this more often!
arrived in the Russian home, I was glad to be not even compelled by my host mother for dinner, because she knew Sonya's mother and knew I would be stopped up to the brim. Instead
waited another package for me. My great aunt had me candy, a warm top, an enclosed letter and ginger root, strengthen the immune system, sent. Thank you! I am very happy!
in mind: Greetings from the snowy Cheboksary ....
My father sent Hamley course not without ulterior motives - will of course have taken a picture with a Russian background. So here Hamley in Russia. He sees something done, but the church in the background makes up for ...
