Suuuuuuunday

Today I got up late & did chores & homework pretty much all day. My grandparents had guests for a few hours, and so I finally got to meet the adorable old lady who knits me slippers every year! Just because she is friends with my grandma she has knitted me slippers for the past few years and it's so sweet.

I also did a drawing (obviously inspired by the movie I saw last night...)

And I Skyped with the Katie Bug!!! Miss you, girlie! <3

Pretty day

Today I noticed when I was going home how gorgeous the sky looked. So naturally I had to take a picture. I also just missed the train, so I had 15 minutes to burn, but that's totally not why I took a picture. 

I'm pretty sure since it's no longer summer vacation the weather has just decided to be gorgeous. 

Tonight I Skyped with Katie. I miss everyone!

Week of moving stuff

So this week:

Mom and Gage left-and arrived!-for home, I went shopping with my cousin,

Skyped with Katie,

Went to the "badi" (swimming pool) with Lara (three times!),

And moved into my new room! There was a lot of furniture and stuff and stuff and stuff to move. Today I started decorating... It's gonna be a while before the walls are more exciting:

Yesterday evening I went to a farm with my grandparents to meet with some of their friends. It was fun, but the best part for me was finding out that we were allowed to eat a bunch of cherries! I looove cherries.

And... I did a bunch of math. (Happy, mom? :p)

Language class day 2

So yesterday we went to the market a few tram stops away and had to ask the vendors how much certain things cost... My group had the most accurate answers, so we got chocolate!!

It was delicious:)

Then we went back to the school and had a lesson, had a lunch break where I had Wehe (I think that's how it's spelled.. I don't know), which is a pie-like thing, it comes in all different flavors with fruits or berries on it, or just with Rahm, which is cream in German. That's what I had:) Also, it is socially acceptable to have it for lunch or dinner, which is a bit unusual for foods.

At the train station there were a bunch of people in orange sunhats giving away mini cans of Fanta (soda). It was really cool, because at home in such a small city we don't ever get people advertising in such ways.

We then went on the train to the Uetliberg (a mountain). There we walked up a very short incline and arrived at a tall viewing platform-type thing, which we promptly climbed up. 

There were 178 steps, I counted... There was a fabulous view from up there, and we all took pictures and oohed and aahed.

It was gorgeous.

We finished the day by wandering around old Zurich, then going to a public swimming place on the lake of Zurich. It was super fun!

But the very best part of my day was skyping with one of my best friends. I love and miss you, Kk!!!
