How are you? I'm very fine. The last days were really cool and today...yeah, just keep reading, I'll tell you later :p.
The weather was very good but it seems that it will rain at the weekend.
Well, before I forget:
- This is a link to a video. At 2:00 you can see parts of the show I gave nearly two weeks ago at Jim's motocycleclub: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwkeJAB1EXQ
- when I talked to Mum a few days ago she said I've got an english accent xD.
- A friend of mine send me a card from marokko, thanks :)!
Jim and Heather have a new laptop, I'm writing from there. Maybe I can write my blog now daily again.
The last writing on my blog was Sunday, right? So I'll start with monday.
Monday:
I took my neetbook to school to have a talk to my IT-teacher. Actually he 'repaired' something, but unfortunately my netbook still doesn't work -.- ....
At lunchtime I talked to my music-teacher about saxophone lessons and my not working saxophone. We went to Mr. Rodger and he gave me a place for saxophon-lessons, I think next monday. We tried also to find the school-tenor-saxophone but someone's using it at the moment. Fortunately we met Mr. Cameron and she said that she's got an old tenor-saxophone which I could use. YES! I was really happy. She would bring it on Tuesday.
As I had no photos for photography my photography-teacher nearly killed me. So I asked Jerry to be my new photo-modell and took some magical photos. They're pretty good.
Afterwards we played a game of chess ( yes, I lost again, but it was really fun :D ) and when Jerry went home I started editing and printing the photos at Heather's and Jim's work.
Think there were no more exciting things on monday, so let's go to the next day...
Tuesday:
Tuesday was also quite cool, but the morning was kind of terrible xD.
Before school I went to see Mrs. Cameron to pick up the saxophone. She said she had forgotten her saxophone. I was annoyed. Really.
A bit later in PE I wanted to play something relaxed. When I didn't know which group would play what sport I just walked with a random group. It was outdoor-hockey. ( India told me later on to never play outdoor hockey without a gear. Probably she's right xD. ) I kissed the ground 1 or 2 times ( yes, my knee hurted xD ), got a ball in my face and got two balls with full speed against my feet. That's absoloutely not relaxed xD.
Photography on Tuesday was good, my teacher was pleased with my photos and I have probably enough shots for my first board :).
In the afternoon India and I went to the Hamilton gardens. She still thinks I don't eat enough, so when we were at her house she made me try several 'typical New Zealand' things :D. Most of them were pretty nice, but I can't remember the names.
The gardens are really cool. We saw only a small part ( one day I gotta go back and see the whole gardens ! ), but it was soooo beautifull. I made plenty of photos, I hope I can upload them already from here. India made some photos as well, she's a good photograph.
There was one little sea ( only about 10 cm deep ) with kind of a figure in the middle, and I wanted to jump on that figure. It was to far, so I didn't jump and said to India that we won't be able to take that photo. Guess what? She took of her shoes and socks and walked to that figure..okay, after she screamed because the water was so cold. I did the same, and I screamed either :D. Buuuut we have that photo.
When I came home I just sat down and watched nearly two parts of the lord of the rings. By the way: The hobbit-village from LOTR is somewhere near here, I hope I get the chance to see it. So. Next day.
Wednesday:
Yesterday was great :)!
To be honest, the morning wasn't that great again, because Mrs. Cameron forget the saxophone again. And we had school-assembly. The whole school in the gym, it was really crowded and long and sometimes quite booring.
PE was funny, we did dancing. My teacher asked me about the steps 'cause he obviously isn't a dance-teacher :p.
After school I went into the city and bought new socks ( I don't know where all my socks went :D ), new mouth-wash and new razor-mousse. Then I went home and chilled a bit.
At 7 o'clock Heather took me to the dance-center and it was soo cool :).
The first lesson ( advanced ) was fun. I still need to learn some of the routines because they're quite different to what we did in Germany.
The second lesson ( beginners. I helped out to learn the NZ-basics ) was probably even more fun :D.
Most of the time I danced with Loryanna. She's 15 ( I think she's he only girl which is about my age there ) and really cool. Heaps of laughter and fun.
I didn't take any photos of the dance-center or the people yet.
Next Saturday there is kind of a dance-party, but I won't go there. I'll be in Taupo. First we thought I'd go there with Jim's motorcycleclub, but on Saturday there is also the rotary-district-seminar and Libby, the president of the Waikato-sunrise-club, wants me to go there. Could be fun, when I'm right there'll be more young people. At least one more. Who? This question leads me to today ;)!
Thursday:
So, today is good so far too.
This morning Mrs. Cameron finally had her saxophone with her, I was really happy :).
School was ok, we had fun in german and photography and even maths was good today.
In Media-Studies I got to know Danae. Danae is really nice ( and from what I heard so far a really good singer ) :)! Who's Danae? Libby's daughter. And she will be my host-sister the last three months I stay in New Zealand =). Lucky.
She will be at the district-seminar on Saturday as well, so I won't be all alone.
When school was finished I took the bus to town and then immediatly home. The first thing I did was testing out the saxophone. It works :)!
So I played a few tunes, ate something, played some more tunes and started writing the blog. That's what I'm doing right now and I guess I gotta finish for today. Probably watch some lord of the rings ;P. Tonight we'll go to one of Jim's friends to get me motorcycle-pants because I'll probably go back from Taupo with Jim =). Maybe we can also get a suit from one of Heather's friends. So still enough to do ;)!
Keep checking out my blog, I'll write again :P.
See ya!
Yours,
Timon.

Hallo Timon!
Mit den Hunden geht alles gut. Alfirin hat in Bremen ihr 2. CACIB bekommen, und muß nun noch in NL. und Belgien. Hoffentlich schaffen wir das noch vor ihrer nächsten Läufigkeit. Sicher will sie mit den Welpen warten bis du zurück bist.
