Awesome!

After a long time of school I am now enjoying my  first thanksgiving-break in the United States.
The last few weeks wereschool, sports and friends in my daily life.

View over Tupelo High School

My first Cross Country race was a big event what I finished with an acceptable time

Miss Buckleys English class - the maybe most awesome group at Tupelo High School

Eating at Abner´s

And every four weeks, is an exchange student meeting.

Spain, Germany & Thailand

With the youthgroup of my church I made a trip to Pickwick, Tennessee.



 

Attending here the Church is a lot of fun, you discuss about football, eat donuts and at the end you speak a little bit about the bible. And soon the Church-basketball saison starts!

 

Last Sunday I went to the only Catholic Church here in Tupelo. The irish Pastor with his strong accent made the worship  to a interesting experience.

 



At the same day, Kevin took me to a old battelfield of the American Civil War out in the country around Tupelo.

 

 

Sport was the main activity this weekend.
Friday Night: Ice Hockey

Tennessee vs. Mississippi

Saturday: College Football

Mississippi State vs. Arkansas

 

Mississippi has two big Colleges: The University of Mississippi, also known as Ole Miss, and The Mississippi State Universiy.

These two are the biggest rivals, specially in American Football. As an Civilizen of the State Mississippi, the first decision anybody has to do is the decision between the Ole Miss Rebels  or the Mississippi State Bulldogs . For most of the students are these places also the two options they have when they decide the College they want to attend after graduating from high school.

Everybody in my Hostfamily is Hardcore-Ole Miss-fan. So we would never pay to go to a football game of the Mississippi State Bulldogs. But when a friend gave us free tickets to a Bulldogs game, we broke tradition and went the first time to the Stadium in Starkville. Because when a football team from Mississippi is playing against Arkansas, than it isn´t important from which college they are, important is a win for the State of Mississppi! And that is what we got.
