Zurichhhhhhh

Today I did laundry and homework and I went and wandered around Zurich and drank coffee with Lara and another girl named Leonie. It was fun, and there was a mild blizzard on the way home and Lara and I got a little snowy. :) But Zurich was gorgeous, as always. (Photo creds-Lara & editing-me)

Where does the time go?

Today I had a half day of school, then went and drank coffee with seven other girls from my class. It was the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon. :)

Then I came home, did homework, and cleaned my entire room. The nice thing about having a smaller room with way less stuff is that it only takes an hour or two to completely clean it.

But seriously, how is it already almost Thursday? I was just bemoaning the fact that I had practically a whole week until the weekend, and boom, it's almost the weekend. Yippee!

Friday! Week 11!

Today I had a music test first period, which was... Interesting. All the notes have different names than they do in the U.S., and they use a different rhythm-speaking system than we do here. 

Choir was awesome as usual, and I signed up to try out for one of two solos for the concert at the end of the year. We'll see how that goes, but there were only a few other people signed up so... *crosses fingers*

On the way home from school I realized that I hadn't had coffee in a while, so of course I had to do the classic #whitegirl thing and get some. :)

I also Skyped with my mom. Miss you! 

Language class day 3

Today I got up early again and went to Zurich for my language class. We sat in class for 4 long hours, then we were freed.

One of my friends wanted Mcdonalds, but we couldn't figure out how on earth to get there. We tried for about 10 minutes to plan out a route using the trams, then we gave up and just decided to hop on a tram and go wherever it would take us. We ended up passing a Mcdonalds anyways, so that worked out perfectly. We also stopped at Starbucks because why not.

Then we were bored, so we wandered over to what is called the "Landesmuseum", which is a museum about Swiss history. 

There was a bobsled that you were allowed to climb into, so my friend and I decided to...

There was some pretty cool stuff there:

So that was my day! :)

Never mind, sleeping in is amazing

Friday: School, bonfire at a friends house... While we were there we found a baby bird, maybe only a few hours old. It had fallen out of it's nest and it looked like an alien. It had no feathers or fur, and it's eyes were covered with skin.

Saturday: I slept in until noon. It was Wonderful... Then I hung out with Katie and we went out to get coffee. #suchwhitegirls

Sunday: Today is my voice recital... Lots of family is coming, and then we are having a "goodbye" dinner for me since I won't see everyone for a year.
