Hi,
Don´t know how to start this , but this schoolyear I´m going to take my final exams...
In order to be allowed to take them, we have to write a so called "Facharbeit". It´s like a housework...you get a certain topic and have to write about 25 pages about it... We can choose in one of our 2 main subjects (I took geography btw:P )
and a friend of mine chose English.
Her topic is "Arnold Schwarzenegger" and she was about to do a survey, but only afterwards she recognized she doesn´t know any Americans, so I promised to try and help her...
I thought I´d put it in here and hope that some of you may take part...so here it is

MANY MANY THANKS FROM BOTH, NATALIE AND ME !!!!!!!!!!

I am a dual citizen of USA and UK. One of my parents lives in California (near the San Fransisco Bay Area) and I was only just too young to vote in the election. One of the reasons he was elected was really that people were truly put out with the former governor and wanted wholesale change. As an "outsider" married to an insider of politics, he had prime running status.

[osusprinks]

I'm from the USA and a democrat, so I'm familiar with the "Govern-ater" but I tend to just complain about him. Hopefully this helps! What is your project?

We are really very grateful for your help. It means a lot to both Natze and me, and she told me she was really glad when she got my result-mails...


osusprinks:
I´m doing my work in geography, topic is the emmigration of germans in the 18th century from Germany to a certain place in Romania, life there and finally the emmigration back to Germany or elsewhere in the world ( by now I know that one family emmigrated to the Philippines).
Our teacher said we could chose one subject, but should talk to her if it´s acceptable and possible to do, so I chose mine because it´s part of my ancestory history, and when I finally got my parents to take me to Romania 3 years ago, I kind of got interested in that topic...
and well, I was allowed to do it ;D
Hope that´s answering your request.


Again many thanks, and perhaps even some more may decide to take part ;D
