… in school

Hej my dear blog readers,

today I’m writing again out of school- i did this the last time when the last school week was. I remember it was thursday and we just came back from our final party where we stayed overnight in my classteachers new house. This was also the day after Portugal lost against France in the half final of the world championships with 0:1 because of this evil penalty- i will never forget this day for sure ;) ah well, and now i’m writing again

What could i tell… I have so much time, because my bus is going home at 16:30- and now it is 13:50. It is just beause guitar is out and my teacher didn’t want to move the flute lesson… she is evil, i don’t like her- actually i am also a bit afraid of her, but this is mainly the fault of the instrument… i hate flutes… actually the real english name of flute is ‘the recorder’ but i don’t like to use this name for it, because this sounds like it would be a casette recorder- but it is not, no, it is an evil disgusting instrument. and i hate it :P So, now you heard my opinion about flutes and their teachers… if you didn’t check really what i meant now:

the recorder:

flute:

(I’m sure you know this thing from the movie “American Pie” Tongue out)

the worst flutes of all are Altflöten (Flöte= the recorder):

i HATE this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so BIG. I have problems with reaching every whole, because my fingers are too tiny Yell

So, i hope now you know the difference between the recorder and flute, and i will say this always wrong, because flute sounds more similar to the german word Flöte. so, i am egoisitic, i know, but it is just better for me Cool

ah yes, i’m sure you remember that i wrote about politicans in Austria some posts ago- i didn’t know the boss of KPÖ (communists ;) ), but now i found out- and i also know why i didn’t know it before :P Because this guy is slovenian. Actually Kärnter Slovenian. this means that he belongs to the slovenian minoity in Kärnten, which is an austrian federal state. This explains a lot of course. i always wondered how an austrian can be communist. now i see that you don’t need to be an austrian for this ;) But okay, this man is a mix actually. His father was slovenian, his mother macedonian, and he was born in slovenia, lives in austria, but speaks more languages. German (perfectly), Slovenian, serbo- croatian, (is macedonian a language? because then he speaks it too ;)) russian and english. So, now it is not my fault anymore if somebody doesn’t know Mirko Messner ;) ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirko_Messner)

so, now it is 15:10- please, don’t think i did nothing all the time, but writing this- acutally i was chatting with Tadej meanwhile. So, but now i have time for you again.

Hannah, my classmate who sits next to me right now just told that i have a strange way of typing. aha… normal people use the 10- finger system. my system is called susi- system. I’m the master to make everything more complicated, even typing. my system is easy actually. the finger which wants to move to the key which is needed at this moment shall go there. and there never quarrels any finger with the other. they have all a lot to do. i type quite fast, mostly faster than all my classmates and i also can type without looking ontp the keybord. so it must be the right system. actually it is the right system for me. in pedagogics you would call this system laissez- faire i think :P laissez- fair actually means, that you have no ‘master’ who tells you anything. you can do whatever you want and you are not controlled. my education for my fingers is like this. they are not controlled but they also find the right way.

so, if you are not confused now then you are really good or also just as complicated as me ;)

Hmm, i will still be one hour here… i will go away at 16:15 i think… because then i will sloooowly move to my bus. the bus station is not directly in front of the school,it is about 5 minutes of walking to there. so, this is of course no tragedy, but i also need to go down to the wardrobes (which are in cellar here) and put on my clothes and shoes. for this i will need also about 5 minutes and when i will be on 16:25 at the bus station it is okay. 5 minutes of waiting outside is nothing bad. i hope that the sun shines. i can’t say this right now, because in this room is no window :P here is actually the hall of the school. and this hall has no windows. how depressing for a kindergarten education school… back to the bus station. i don’t like it if i come late. i think this is the ‘fault’ of my mother. my mum never came too late anywhere and so i think that i just ‘took’ this from her (she has it still)- and my mum also HATES it if somebody comes to late. same with me ;) so, i like to be at the bus station 5 minutes before the bus goes. you don’t know what happens. you never can know. maybe the bus arrives a few minutes earlier and also leaves earlier, because the watch of the bus driver is wrong?

now is the weekend in front of me. i will sleep. oh yes, and i will buy me such a thing which what i can make circles. sorry, i just don’t know the english word and i am too lazy to look- but hej, what a randomn, here is the virtual dicionary open (okay, not so a randomn, because i opened it about half and hour before ;))– so, the word for this thing is

circle

haha- they mean the wrong one i think- because the german word ‘Zirkel’ can also mean circle… this is the disatvantage of such online dictionarys… better to show you a picture

so, i hope you know what i mean now.. i guess you saw some similar things already before and- maybe you also used it already Surprised

Well, this is of course not the only thing what i will do… let me think, what else to do… sleeping would be a good suggestion, but i will not be able to sleep a lot anyway. I’m not somebody who sleeps much, even it got more the last few weeks. this summer holidays were good for me to get a normal sleeping- rhythm again. i sleep in average one hour more than before the holidays. this is good.

and you know what?

just 179 days left to summer holidays Cool

sun, summer, beach, sea, boys and more… *dream*

unbelievebal that i was just 10 days in school so far… it seems like half a year Undecided and you know what i hate most??? FLUTE!!!! ARGH!!! it is worth than maths…

But be optimistic susi, just be optimstic… (Daniele told me i should see my life from this point of view ;))- sorry Dani, but I fear this doesn’t fit to me so well…

*heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul* Cry Cry Cry

damn, 179 days left, how sad…

this is me ;) [and this is me after my friends can't hear me anymore: Sealed --- fortunately it didn't happen so far ;)) ]

So, now i really don’t know what to tell you anymore… this week is no formula 1 GP… this is so sad- do they have three weeks of break now? We didn’t have a F1 GP last week, i know this very well, because the last F1 GP was when we had our last holiday day- 10th of September, Sunday- the day when Michael Schumacher told us that he will retire. and we had 10 school days so far in school, this means two school weeks… and this means that they have a 3 weeks break Frown how shall i just come over winter holidays? okay, there is skijumping and skiing, but this will start in the end of november… NOVEMBER!!! this is so long! and at the end of October will be the last formula 1 race. HOW CRUEL!

How did i survive this in the last years? One full month without any of my favourite sports. What shall i do now? Will i do something for school? Will i

LEARN?????????????

I hope it will not come so far- i really hope i will not be so desperate Wink

So, i could tell you a lot abour my favourite topics, mainly about sport of course, but i fear that this wouldn’t be so interesting at all for you all, and so… let’s talk about “apple would harvest on the Elster”– häääää? okay, you all can’t understand this. it is some kind of Insider joke which can just understand my friends Johanna and Anna. and i am really too tired to explain it, because it is a little bit complicated in english and today is friday afternoon (right now i had to yawn- just one more prove that i am really tired already) and so i will not explain everything. but i need a topic to taaaaalk about… i already write as slowly as i can that i will havesomething to do till i have to go. it is 15:43 now… still half an hour to write anything… maybe i should put in some more nice pictures…

CRISTIANO RONALDO

Mario Ančić

195 centimeters- and everything fits…

Alexandre Despatie

Thomas Morgenstern

sun rises

São Paulo

Sao Paulo… maybe you can’t imagine why this big city is someone’s dream, but it is mine…

okay, see you soon,

Susi

Schumacher retires

Now, finally after months of rumours and expecting we know it. Michael Schumacher, 7- times world champion, 90- times winner and 68- times pole setter in formula 1 will retire after this season. After 16 years in forumla one, Schumacher, the most successful driver in formula 1 history, will leave this after the next races (in Shanghai/China, Suzuka/Japan and Interlagos, Sao Paulo/Brazil). If he will leave with his 8th title is not sure yet. He still has to get 2 points of Fernando Alonso, who still leads in the championships (since the beginning of the season).

If you like Schumacher or if you also like him not: his career is incredible, and the way of his success the same. I think it would get hard to find a similar career in motorsports:

Michael Schumacher

Born was the german on 3rd of December in Hürth. He started his career already young, because his father had hired a CART track. At the beginning of his career he already met a few of his later rivals, like Heinz- Harald Frentzen, Nick Heidfeld, or the finns Mika Häkkinen and Mika Salo.

1990 Schumacher got a contract of the Mercedes Junior Team, where also the german Heinz Harald Frentzen and the austrian Karl Wendlinger were included.

1991 Jordans main driver Bertrand Gachot was in prison (a very interesting story- if I remember right he used a pepper spray against a taxi driver in London, what is named as a weapon there :P) and Schumacher or Stefan Johansson had the option to drive instead of him in Spa- Francochamps. Jordan took Schumacher, because of better sponsors. He was surprisingly 7th in the Qualifying, but fell out after 500 metres because of a defect car.

After just 3 races the Benetton team made a contract with him and threw instead of this Roberto Moreno out.

1992 he won exactly one year after his debut in Spa and become the third german Grand Prix winner after Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips (who died in an F1 accident) and Jochen Mass. World Champion got Nigel Mansell.

1993 wasn’t really successful for Schumacher and Benetton. They didn’t have a lot success, the dominating team was Williams- Renault, who also got Champion with Alain Prost, who finished his career after that.

1994 he won his first Formula 1 World Championships title. After Ayrton Sennas dead in the 3rd race of the year in Imola he also didn’t have really rivals for this.

 

 

Michael Schumacher with Benetton


 

1995 Benetton made a engine connection with Renault and so the 2nd title followed for Schumacher.

1996 Schumacher changed from Benetton to Ferrari (he changed his place with the austrian Gerhard Berger, who went to Benetton). He just had two victories (Spa and Monza). World Champion got Damon Hill on Williams, Schumacher got 3rd after Hill and the young rookie (Indy 500 and Champ Car winner) Jacques Villeneuve.

 

An often seen picture: Schumacher and his Ferrari

 

 

1997- the Ferrari car was much better than the years before. Schumacher was able to drive for the champions win. At the legendary last race of Jerez 1997, him and Jacques Villeneuve could get World Champion. Schumacher leaded more than half of the race, but he suddenly got slower without any reason. Jacques Villeneuve who was behind him came close and tried to overtake him. Schumacher had waited for this, and made a collision with Villeneuve, because when both would have fallen out, Schumacher would have been the winner. But Villeneuve was able to drive on, became 3rd and won the titles. It was sure what Schumacher wanted to do, and because of this unfairness FIA took away all his points of this season.

1998 was a fight between McLaren- Mercedes and Ferrari, between the drivers Mika Häkkinen and Michael Schumacher. Mika Häkkinen was able to get the title, it was a long fight, which was open till the last race, which could the finn decide for him.

1999 was actually almost the same like the year before, but after 6 races Schumacher crashed against a tires wall and broke one leg. After this the champions were over for Schumacher- he came back, but Häkkinens only rival was Eddie Irvine, Michaels teammate- but this couldn’t stop the finn and so he celebrated his second world championships title.

2000- Schumacher and Häkkinen were THE rivals again, but this time Schumacher was able to make it and so he got his 3rd title, his first for the Scuderia Ferrari.

 

 

2001 was Ferrari clear the best team, they had the best car and so Schumachers title wasn’t in danger really. His 4th title alltogether, his second for Ferrari.

2002 was maybe the most dominant Ferrari year. Many people complained about a boring season, because Ferrari had the best car and a lot of double victories. Specially not good for the sport was was the Austrian Grand Prix in this year- Rubens Barichello was in the lead, till the already legendary sentence of Ross Brawn was spoken: “Rubens, let Michael pass for the championships”. The last metres before the finish Rubens Barichello let Schumacher pass- after this stalling orders were forbidden. But Schumacher got World champion for the 5th time. With that he had as many titles as the record man till this time, the argentinian Juan Manuel Fangio, who was also able to make 5 titles also before.

2003.Schumacher got big rivals with the young and wildes: the young finn Kimi Räikkönen in his second year for McLaren- Mercedes (he came after Mika Häkkinen retired) got just 2 points less than Schumacher at the end of the season. The other strong young was Juan Pablo Montoya from Colombia, driving Williams- BMW. Many people said it was the most interesting and thrilling season after years, because both drivers (Räikkönen and Schumacher) had chances to win the title till the last race. But Schumacher got his 6th title. With this he beated Fangios record and got the most successful f1 driver of all times. But Fangio needed for his 5 titles just 7 years (Schumacher 8) and made it with 4 different teams (Schumacher 2). Experts (and me too ;) ) say that Fangio’s titles are ‘higher’ than Schumachers, also because in Fangios time was the racer more important than the car.

 

 

 

 

2004 was as boring as 2002. Ferrari was dominant and Schumacher got his 4th title for Ferrari and his 7th (and last so far) alltogether.

 

 

2005 Ferrari was long not so good as the 5 years before. They had specially problems with the Bridgestone tires, which didn’t work good together with the car. He became 3rd in the Championships, but the only real stars of the season were Fernando Alonso and Kimi Räikkönen, who fighted for the title. At last the spanish guy could win it- the first title for a spanish man and the first for Alonso (logical somehow :P)

2006- the last season of Schumacher. He is now just 2 points behind Alonso and still 3 races are left. So it gets exciting

 

 

A good team in 2006- Massa, the new face at Ferrari
And Kimi Räikkönen will follow Schumacher- Massa and Räikkönen, Ferrais dreamteam 2007

 

 

 

 

 

some personal comment:

I hope for Alonso :P

JUHUU- Schumi retires— but be honest- my column was quite objective, wasn’t it? :P
