I actually can sport!!!

Today was "sport day", and it was super fun. In the morning we went swimming outside (it was coooold) and ran races and such. In the afternoon we had a volleyball tournament against the whole 3rd grade (freshmen). There are a bit more than 100 third graders, and my team won 1st place! It was super fun. 
Something that I was thinking about the other day on the train was Swiss-German. I think a lot of people don't understand what it is. German is an official language, and is what is spoken in schools and is written in textbooks. Swiss-German is a dialect, which means it is only spoken. Technically. It's really strange to try and read Swiss-German, because it theoretically doesn't exist. But all the students message each other in Swiss-German, just like we use abbreviations and shortened words (Like r, u, omg). It's really difficult to understand sometimes.
