First ski meet - January Rotary Conference - Halftime

Hello everybody!

I hope you all had a nice start into 2015! I had my first ski meet last Thursday, Jan 8th. It was really fun and I always arrived at the bottom of the course! It was my first time racing with gates and on a course. Of course I didn't had the best time, but I'm happy and had a lot of fun. Marquette Senior High School had a good day and won in some competition.

I also was at a Rotary Conference in Wausau, Wisconsin last weekend and had a lot of fun! I am so happy that I could see my international and multicultural family again. We had a huge snowball fight and ejoyed the weekend with ice skating and shopping.

It was a great weekend and I cannot wait to see all these people again in february!
This conference also was the halftime conference. About half of my time here in the United States is over, my flight back already booked and when I look back, it doesn't feel like half a year at all. Of course I miss Germany, my freinds and family there, but I know its gonna be hard to leave. It makes me sad when I think about it and that I only have one half left, but I'm here. I am here right now and that makes me happy!
