Sleepover!

Today we got let out of school early! Four of us then went to a girl names Jessica's house and had a sleepover there:) We had almost all never seen Titanic, so our excuse for the sleepover was to watch that. We made fajitas and ate lots of chocolate. And watched Titanic of course. I personally didn't like it that much. Can't really explain why. *shrugs* Oh well. We went to bed about 2 am? I think?:)

Spring!

Happy Thursday!

Today was gorgeously sunny & warm, and in so excited it's almost springtime. :)

Also, normally when I come home at 6, the sun has already set and it's dark & creepy out. But not anymore! Yay for sunshine!

Here's a picture that I took the other day. I really like the perspective. 

It's basically spring

Today was gorgeous and sunny. There were birds tweeting and flowers blooming. It's only the beginning of March??? *shrugs confusedly*

Omg noodles

Today was a slightly more exciting day because study hall was canceled, so 5 of the girls in my class and I went out to eat in Zurich at a noodle place called Tsching, I believe. It was delicioussssss. 

Yay the week is almost over! Happy almost Friday!

Happy almost Friday!

Today I did my English presentation about American holidays, and apparently everyone liked it! Yay! I also had sport, where we again played basketball, which was super fun.

There was a random chair in the central part of the school (where there are tables to sit at for lunch and such) that was covered in painters tape and had a marker taped to it. I think it was someone's project on what teenagers will "graffiti" on something they are allowed to write on. It was really fun to read all the stuff on it.

Then I came home and did homework:) Also, here's a picture I took a few days ago when I was walking home from school. 

Yippee for it almost being Friday!

Happy day:)

Happy almost Friday!

I'm pretty sure time has never flown so fast as it has here. Even though I'm homesick sometimes and I miss so many people, I've made some amazing friends here and I know I'll remember this year forever. The school year is already 1/4 done?!?

Anyways, today I went to school and came home in the dark... But it was only 5:30. Wacky short days.

Only 5 days until my birthday! :)

Pizza snail

Today we had a double lunch because "studium stunde" (study hall/class discussion period) got canceled! And apparently on Thursdays there is a market in the little square where we eat sometimes, so we went there. There was a little stand with bread and such, and I got a "pizza schnack" (pizza snail) which is like pizza in a cinnamon roll shape. And a roll with chocolate bits in it. Yummmm!

Today in p.e. We played basketball, which was super fun once again, because no one here can play. So I'm really good in comparison, which would never happen at home.

But one of my friends was astounded that I'd never had these things called Giotto. So she gave me a whole package of them. :) They're little creme-filled, crushed-hazelnut-covered things. Delicious.

We also had school late. Which means I got home at 6 ish. Meh.

Tomorrow's Friday! Yippee! And Halloween! (I'll be talking about Halloween in tomorrow's post-I'm doing something)

Swiss cheese awards

Today I didn't get home until 6:30. Ew.

But I saw a wacky advertisement that made me smile and a cat that wouldn't let me pet it. 

Basically a good day. 

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... 

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!

Random Thursday

Today was unexciting except that we had to run 4 kilometers in p.e. and I went to lunch with a girl in my class and we talked about teachers and people who do drugs...

Tomorrow's Friday!! Yay! And next week is a field trip with my class-I'm already excited. 

There was a solar flare yesterday/today and apparently if there are clear skies Friday through Sunday you might be able to see some northern lights! So go take a midnight stroll! I just moved my entire desk so I could lean out my window but there are too many clouds this evening to see anything...

Did you know that you can leave comments on these blog posts? Now you do. All you need is a google account (gmail, youtube, etc.) and then you can write things or questions on the posts... :) Just FYI. 

The rediscovering of the baby bottle

Today was Thursday, which means school until 5:45, which means I don't get home until 6:15. Which means I starve. At least I don't have to get up early on Thursdays...

Something random I was thinking about in class was how even the paper they use to write here is different. Graph paper is what they use-for everything. I don't know of a place that you can buy lined paper here like we use in the U.S. It's the little things that you wouldn't even expect to be different that are so fascinating about being somewhere else. 

Also, while I was walking home from the train station, I happened to pass by where the baby bottle was (two days ago) and I looked up and there it was! Someone put it on top of a parking meter, maybe so someone could find it again. So apparently yesterday I just failed at actually finding the bottle. There was this guy riding a bicycle down the street that looked at me all weird because I was laughing while taking a picture of a parking meter. Yay!

Technology Is Annoying

So today I was planning on finishing my online English class. But then the entire website decided to be a poop and shut down. The entire server was down according to a different site. Lovely.

So I played piano for a long time:)

It was refreshing.

Bye!
