I gave them each a picture frame with a lovely picture in it as well as a man that had some sort of relevance to their lives. for example katha got a man with pornobrille on..mannn im one GOOD matchmaker!
Gina got a "mister everything" guy because she does everything. he's holding a sword and like ready to take on LIFE! MANO He's SOOO ready. ha. actually i thin i will make a post after this one w/just the picture frames and men for each girl, just so i NEVER EVER forget it. i had to borrow katha's man for this picture b/c i didnt make myself one. 
Here's our whole class on the "last day," or this morning. our abschluss tshirts are quite cute, amiright?!
As a class, we gave herr Heinze a nice little gift of an amazing photoalbum (thank GOODNESS i take so many pictures ;) baha!) and a nice little box paket basket thing. 
Bye Bye Herder!
Then last night was our choir end of year party which was of course a lot of fun. we played volleyball and sang and Justus was my official photographer, so some of the pictures are amazingly Justus-like...
Like this one, for example!
Hahah oh petra!
Detlef brought this crazy thing so we could all be in tune when we sang! i found it amazingly amusing. He's one awesome choir director and an all around amazing man. I will really miss his passion for singing and family and friends and life in general. 
Then after that party i went at about 1030 to my 10th grade class end of year party. it was also fun, of course, and we sang, talked, danced and took A ZILLION Pictures. 
YAY HERR HEINZE! haha he "Had" to leave about an hour after he got there. baha i laughed. i mean, just look at his face in this picture. man-o!
haha, i dont know...
"Man, ich denke, dass benny besoffen ist."

"Monaaa, you're miss oklahomaaaa, and you miss oklahoma!"
"Monaaa, you're miss oklahomaaaa, and you miss oklahoma!"I WAS MADE FOR LOVING YOU BABY, YOU WERE MADE FOR LOVING ME! we sang that together, mona and i, in a duo, and i was quite impressed/suprised that she knew EVERY word and some of the ones that i didn't!!!
GOOFAY
at the table, singing and having a good time
Ok, so theres this big joke that goes like this "MAGGIE FOR PRESIDENT!" so they all think i will be president one day ( i mean, come on, i TOTALLY will be, right right!) and then i will think back on all my german friends and i will let them come eat with me at the white house. so here is me being the new statue of liberty when i totally make german/american relations awesome when im president. of course, the statue must also inclue the Gina on my arm (instead of the book) and the beer in my hand (instead of the torch) hellloooo lady liberty!
like i said, benny ist immer besoffen. haha ouiii 
so enough party photos! on sunday was kathas birthday, so on monday Gina brought her bday present to schooL! she's a cutie!

AND WE GOT THE PUPPY TODAY!!
So of course these times are crazy and it's hard to believe that i have only 4 days of real life here before it's traveling around w/the crazy americans and being here for a couple days, away for a week, here again. it's just weird saying goodbye, that's all. and it's weird that 6 months ago i thought it would be easy to say goodbye...
Anyway, that has nothing to do with anything, i don't think except for the fact that at this point in time it's more than gorgeous, despite the fact that it's realllly hot and air conditioning doesn't exist in germany, but oh well, honestly it's nice just sitting outside for hours on end, laying out, talking to neighbors, drinking coctails; i could really get used to this way of life! anyway..
so after a lot of shopping and it being hot, we stumbled across a beach bar and sat there for an hour and a half drinking alsters and banana beer at 3 in the afternoon. ill say it again DEUTSCHLAND IST SCHOEN!! ahhhh i LOVE it!!
and i am including this picture for my crazy german friends, because, i mean, who in the world would want to take pictures of random cute boys on trains? umm only weirdos ;) bahaa but MANO gina is sooo good at it!!
then of course a little shopping. haha we got in trouble for taking this picture. bwahaaa!
then at about 2 we headed back home. i guess tane was quite sad... haha
Here is our french teacher and German teacher (herr heinze!) being crunk in our "pornobrille"! mano they're looking pretty nice, right. recognize the glasses, alex? ha they've def come to good use. 
ok so on wednesday at school we all got 1 and 2 period free because the 13 graders decided to take over the school and lock everyone out and make fun of teachers on the stage and squirt people with water guns. i found it quite amusing, but everyone else wasnt quite as happy about it because they see the same thing every year, but for me it was a first time experience therefore quite cool. 
and people from the 13th grade partied from tuesday night till wed morning then came to school to mess with everyone, so they were all still pretty wasted and it was just funny. check out these guys walking around at 8 in the morning..haha once again "Deutschland ist schoen!"
and here is my entire 10th grade class! awww they all look great, right!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!
oh michael...baha he's C to the RUNK!
and of course we make an AMAZING team...
now to the lovely women of the Alto section, the section in which i sing...
and here's just a lot of us (not all, though) after the concert and after we'd changed a bit. we all stayed for a little cook out for an hour or two. it was actually very nice, we were all quite proud of our lovely choir success!
ok, so NOW do you guys believe i sing in a choir? 
The black labs and yellow labs were from the same litter, but the chocolate lab (AWW he was my fav..so cute!) is from a litter 14 days before the other ones, so he's a bit bigger
Here's me with a precious little black lab. awwwwwwwwwwwww
ok and here justus is NOT poking the dogs eye out..haha it only appears so..
omg...i want to keep him
and HERES LEO! the one that will be here on the 17th!
Then i rushed to CHOIR practice because on sunday we had a concert (pictures later, i havent uploaded them yet!) then after that i headed over to katha's house for a nice little get together and spent the night there but i was sooo tired i dunno why but oh she mo she!
can i PLEASE just take her back to america with me...?
yay! more about the choir concert later when you've gotten over the puppies. OMG THEY"RE SO CUTE! but yay i have pictures of my niccuragian friends! im so proud! but later, later!
