ABITUR! This is the German word for diploma. After 13 years of school we finally graduated. Of course we had a big celebration called Abiturball. And yes I just uploaded a lot of pictures of that event. During the Abiturball I held a small speech about the passed 13 years ...
When I released Emma Watson Empire in February 2002 I had no idea which size it once will have. But due to it's present size I know Emma very good, at least I think so. I kind of watched her growing to the present state. But what is this ...
Like it happens much too less in our English class we were allowed to write an essay on our own. Usually we just have to anayse other texts, what isn't exactly interesting at all.
So I was asked to write a funny essay about the manners of the Germans ...
