Long day:)

Today I had school until 5:15. It was super fun because our history teacher is doing a big project week with another class, so we had two hours to eat lunch, which was cool. I also did my English presentation, and it went awesome! I talked for the whole period, and everyone wanted more details about what I think are the weirdest things. A big deal was the fact that I put a picture of me in a tree stand at age 12 with a gun, although I said I never shot anything. The whole class thought that was the bomb diggity. 

An interesting question someone asked me was if it was weird to listen to music and understand the words. Here everyone listens to exactly the same stuff as we do in the U.S. (with a few Swiss or German artists mixed in) and they usually don't understand the words in English songs, so to them it's strange you actually comprehend what the artists are saying. 

Tomorrow after school Lara and I are going to the west part of Switzerland for the weekend! (Lara's godmother lives there and invited us!) I'm really excited! :) 

Woo for almost another week of school being over! Time flies when you're having fun...

Thanks, Grammy... :)

So today after school I went shopping with Aunt Claudia and Lara for winter boots. I was so confused, because when I put a size 37 (the sizes are different here-I think 37 is about a women's size 6 in the U.S.? I'm not sure) on my right foot it fit perfectly, and when I put a size 38 on my left foot it fit perfectly. But the other way around was too big and too small. I usually wear sneakers, and I like them a little too big so I have lots of toe room-I don't know why-which is why I didn't discover this problem earlier... Solution: Buy a size 39 and put insoles into them. Now they fit! Yay! Apparently my Grandma Susan has this same issue with shoe sizes... It seems I have inherited more than a big head and a stubborn nature from you, Grammy!

Tomorrow I get to do my English presentation, I'm super excited!! I put the finishing touches on my presentation tonight and hopefully it'll be fun and interesting tomorrow!

Thursdayyyyy

So I don't have to do my English  presentation yet, I'm doing it next week. That means I have time to add more stuff, so I'm not complaining. 

Also, I got invited to a birthday party! Yay friends! People! Things! Parties!

It's a rare occurrence, but tonight I had no homework. *Insert horrified gasp from my mother here* Yippee!
