I stood up as normally and ate my breakfast. Today Sarah and Patrick drove Molly to Fishweir and then Piper and me to DA. There we had our presentations of the project about Sophie School & Douglas Anderson – our group as lost the poster and so (for me a miracle happened) the drawers of our group just painted the picture on an A4 Paper in less than 1 hour and it looked incredible – for me it was like a miracle because I couldn’t understand how they did this sooo fast✨✨ And so our presentation went pretty well and the ones of the others were also amazing! 🙂
In the second period Piper and I had Dance with such an inspiring teacher that was very motivated! She taught the class a choreography to a song from Billy Eilish 🙂 It was very fast. The warm up I did with the class and we all ended up just dancing and laughing with each other while jumping through the whole room ✨ In the beginning I tried the choreography with the others and they said I did it quite well (but I wasn’t this great) and it was really hard to remember all the steps so fast after one another! In pictures and in the video I took of them it doesn’t look nearly as good at in real life! 🙂
I forgot my lunch so I had to wait in line with a friend of Piper from Musical theater who as the Students ID with them. So I had plenty of time to get to know Anna better, a wonderful girl who reminds me a little bit of my friend who is sailing across the Atlantic not just because of her name!✨:) So I also tried the school lunch from DA and let me say it like that: The cheese pizza wasn’t bad but I like to bring my own lunch with me better!
In the third period we had acting and first when everyone practiced their monologues I read my book. After that we were the audience and looked at the nice performances of the DA students! 🙂 In the last period we had English lesson and they read a lecture and had to answer questions about it! So I tried to follow the lesson and at some point I worked on my knotted bracelets.
Sarah picked us up from school and Piper went to soccer. After a small snack I went for a walk with the dogs and that was so much fun. I walked down to the St. Johns River and then continued at the St. Johns Street where really big houses stand and it was interesting to look at them all and how they prepare for Halloween. That brings me to the next topic – Halloween in the US is much more celebrated than in Germany! ✨
In school we all dressed up in costumes and some students wore really special and impressive/interesting costumes – and their principal has a laser sword fought with one student in the lunch break! 🙂 When Piper and I got home we dressed up and 2 friends from her soccer practice stayed with us for Halloween. We made tacos together because it’s Taco Tuesday 🌮 (I love Taco Tuesday!)!! We also played a little bit soccer in the back yard and just chatted a bit. Around 6:30 p.m. we left the house and started walking around the neighborhood and Trick or Treating! 🎃 We met Audrey, Elena and one friend of Elena in front of the stores at Park Street. Together we made funny pictures, talked and walked around the neighborhood and I looked with big eyes on the huge and impressive Halloween decorations many houses had – and on the amount of candies we’ve got now! – Molly and Margot got even more than us and compared to Germany it was way more crowded! 🙂 ✨✨
So as this day is coming to an end I have to say that I had never such a crowded, nice and special Halloween as today! When I sat with Molly, Margot, Piper, Sarah, Patrick, Maisie and Moxy on the front porch at 9 p.m. I didn’t want the moment to end because at this time it felt like the time has stopped and that this wonderful evening and experience last forever! What for a fantastic day with the best memories I’m so glad and grateful now to have! ✨✨✨:)
