Oh I like school sooo much here!
Especially Anatomy&Physiology! I just wanted to post some multiple questions from my Mastery Test that I got for the Exam tomorrow. It's on the cardiovascular system and I really enjoyed studying that chapter. We dissected deer hearts and I just love the fact that we do so much things in labs and don't just talk about everything. It's very interesting to actually look at some things :)
Anyway here are the questions:
1. Rheumatic fever damages the...
a) walls of the ventricles
b) walls of the atria
c) membranes that cover the heart
d) valves of the heart
2. The visceral pericardium is also known as the
a) epicardium
b) myocardium
c) endocardium
3. The structures that prevent the mitral and tricuspid valves from swinging into the atria during ventricular contraction are the...
a) cordae tendineae
b) papillary muscles
c) endocardium
d) Purkinje fibers
4. The aortic bodies containing pressoreceptors and chemoreceptors are located in the...
a) ascending aorta
b) aortic arch
c) aortic sinuses
d) descending aorta
5. Venous blood flow is maintained by all but which of the following factors?
a) blood pressure
b) skeletal muscle contraction
c) vasconstriction of veins
d) respiratory movements
My mastery test has 65 questions of these, some are easier some are harder. It would be cool if some people comment and write their answers to the questions :) I will publish the solution with my next post.
Now I will study some more!

It's on
Out of the 6 pictures 4 are 'Star Photos' (perfect score of 10/10) :D I think that's funny since I wasn't very happy with all of them but just not really encouraged to take better once so I just handed them in!
The caption includes the comment that my teacher wrote on the back :)

Ein Graues Haar
Happy Birthday Mom!
 |
| North Sea a year ago :) |
The lyrics to the song in English:
I just played Indians
The aunt in kindergarten
I liked awfully much
Then my rounds shot on the moped,
first kiss, first crisis
how fast time flies!
And now I stand in front of the mirror, a quarter to eight
The party will be cool, my birthday
All those who like me have thought of me
But what I have to see there?
Well what?
A gray hair
Again there goes a year
All the best, thank you, clearly
Still a reason to celebrate
I see a gray hair
I see myself still looking
My place in the world
Occasionally I've ordered a glass too much
I saw many come
I saw many go
Saw many fall down, I stayed mostly stand
Many 1000 moments gathered in the time
I wish more of it, even more
Have understood better what makes me happy
What do I care really does not have to, well, what?
A gray hair
Again there goes a year
All the best, thank you, clearly
Still a reason to celebrate
Even more so with gray hair
We celebrate each new wrinkle, which was necessary
Each hair was prematurely precipitated
We celebrate every good intention, a nice custom
And every good approach, if bald, whether abdominal
Also gnawing at the very best body
the wisdom tooth of time
For true-the youth is fleeting, old age is growing
And to celebrate, is the best pastime!
A gray hair
Yeah I know I am so mean :) But I thought since it is your favorite band, you know me and also know that I just think it's a very funny song for the occasion you would laugh about it... if not than just ignore the song and look at this picture!

Love you soooooo much, I hope you have a great day!
See you later...
Jesus Messiah
Okay so it's still Easter (Monday) so this post is not too late :D
Yesterday was great!
We went to church early to participate in the fundraiser breakfast for a missions trip this year and it was great to already meet a couple of people before the sermon and talk to them :)
The sermon itself was awesome and I hope that it's online soon so that I can put a link on here for you to see!
We also had three baptisms again. I love to hear all the different testimonies I get so excited when I listen to the different stories!
After church we went home, changed clothes and then went to Papa's house (Mitch's Dad - my host grandpa). We had an Easter Egg Hunt and looots of good food :) First Eva and Papa were hiding the eggs for or the little kids - everyone had 7 or 8, one person had one color of eggs and a little sticker on them so that they don't find the "wrong" eggs :)
When the little kids were done they all helped to hide Eva's and my eggs - way up high or so hidden we could barely see them :) It was so much fun too find them and I think it took me about an hour to find all of mine. Eva's were pink and mine were blue. By the time I found three of mine I already knew where all of Eva's were :D So when Mitch and Paul gave us hints by showing pictures in which area the rest of the eggs were hidden I already knew if it was "my area" or Eva's ;)
I got a pair of socks, a mood necklace with a 'K' as a charm, a cord and beats and a treble clef charm to make my own bracelet or necklace, a pencil and music stickers for my scrapbook :) Thank you so much again!
Here are some pictures!
Thanks for a great Easter Sunday Theis Family!

Happy Easter!
I love this video - just found that version with subtitles in German. Mitch and Steph played it once in the beginning of my year over here and then throughout the year a couple times, now I often play it myself instead of listening to music and today we watched it in our sermon :)
I will write something later today about our day now I just really want to sleep, it was a loooong (great) day!

My Favorite Things
We played this song in Big Band :) I really like that song...
But this blog post is about the 6 pictures that I had to turn in for Photography class on Thursday, here they are:
And here are two old assignments that I didn't share yet:
We had to take 8 portraits and make a new face out of those using Photoshop
I really enjoy my photography class and I think it already helped me a lot to get to know my camera a little bit better!

Find my way back home
Not me... not yet.
But my little Teddy!
When I was born my mom's co-workers gave her two Teddys from Sigikid and I have them with me when I travel around so they are here now too!
Anyway a couple days ago I thought I lost my little one. We have our garbage can right between our beds (Eden's and mine), and I thought it might have fallen in there while I was sleeping and it's now gone :(
I thought I looked everywhere for it and I was kind of hoping Tirzah grabbed it and put it somewhere else (she likes them too), but I also kind of started to accept that it was gone - I mean it's just a stuffed animal, right?!
I found my little bear tonight when I came home from a game night with a couple exchange students, host family members and YFU volunteers. I was soooo happy so I really had to blog about it. I originally wanted to name the post 'Lonely' when I first thought about writing it, because I didn't find him before that, but anyway.
Yeah.. I seriously just wrote a blog about my teddy bear :D

Do Re Mi
I looove this song from Sound of Music. And yes I've never watched the movie I really have to change that!
Anyway it's in my head all the time so I thought I could use it for my blog since I try to always use songs that I'm currently listening too.
There was a great flashmob with that song in belgium:
We also have a new student teacher in Choir and I love the warm-ups we are doing right now.
One for example here...
We have a list with:
Do, Do Re Do, Do Re Mi Re Do, Do Re Mi Fa Mi Re Do, Do Re Mi Fa So Fa Mi Re Do, Do Re Mi Fa So La So Fa Mi Re Do, Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti La So Fa Mi Re Do, Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re Do.
... or
1, 1 2 1, 1 2 3 2 1, ... and so on.
Anyway it's super much fun and I just wanted to share that with you :)

Heal the World
Thank you sooo much for all the donations for the 30 hour famine!
I was able to raise $180! With that money World Vision will be able to take care of a child for half a year :)
The 30 hour famine was a great experience and I will definitely do something like that again in the future! I started fasting right after my lunch period in school on Friday at 12pm. When I came home everybody had Animal Crackers for snack (I love those!) and Micah said 'Haha, you can't have any!'... not nice :) But really it wasn't that hard not to eat - I thought it would be harder since I'm snacking all the time.
Mitch, Eden, Micah and I went to TCF to go through some bank-stuff which took a veeery long time because it was very complicated, but it was also very entertaining :D After that we went to a game store to get a couple CDs/DVDs buffered and after that we went to Little Caesers to get pizza for the others for supper - that was fun. Mitch called in before we got there so that they would be ready when we come and he ordered "3 pepperoni ... and 1 sausage please". When he said 'sausage' I said "Yes... nooooo" because I love sausage pizza but then I realized that I won't be able to have any :(
At 8pm I went to Church then where I spent the rest of my fasting time together with all the others (I think there were about 25 of us.. maybe more).We started of by playing a couple games boys vs. girls - we won! :) And then at around 9.30 Josh talked to us, showed us a very cool video. In that video kids who don't live as good as we do asked questions about our life here in America - "Do you really eat 3 times a day", etc. It also included information about the difference of our countries - "A woman in Africa walks about 6 miles a day to get water, that's how much an American walks in A MONTH!" It really opened my eyes about what's going on in the world and on top of that we then watched End of the Spear.
The next day morning we woke up at 8.45 and started at 9.30. We did three service projects throughout the day - hand out bag of lunch to people who otherwise won't have a meal -, collect caned food donations and we cleaned up a park :)
Throughout the whole time i didn't really struggle with hunger, but more with a lack of energy and I was cold all the time except when I was in my sleeping bag... then I felt super hot. I think I had a little short cold or something because I also had trouble breathing (it felt like somebody was sitting on my chest when I tried to breath in). Usually my temperature is around 96°F when I take it with the thermometer we have but on Saturday when I came home it was 98°F... I don't know doesn't really matter I guess :)
We broke out fast together at (Surprise...after 30 hours) 6pm on Saturday with rice and something like taco meat and ketchup. I think I never enjoyed a meal like that before - you really start appreciating the food you have the more you learn about all the hunger in the world!
Anyway it was a great experience and thanks again for the donations!

Only the beginning of the adventure
Okay here then the picture of Obadiah and me (my mom asked me about it, I kind of forgot to upload one the last time...) It's on Steph's Blog, I hope it was okay that I put it on my blog, too?!
He changed so much already it's incredible! But it's still the "beginning of his adventure"!
Praise God for this huge blessing :)
