Ice sculpture

Today I went up on the Albis-the mountain that is near where I live-with my grandma. It's 60 years since the seilbahn (gondola-ski lift thingy) opened, and so they had a day where you could go up to the restaurant and get free hot drinks and watch this guy carve an ice sculpture. The ice sculpture thing was really cool.

It won't stop snowing here, which makes me really happy. Is it weird that I missed being cold? Probably. Oh well. It was lots of fun and I got to spend some quality time with my grandma. :)

Yeah, no

So I'm stilllllll at home. My grandma thinks my cough is too bad. I got a note from the doctor for me to be excused from school until Monday if need be. The real problem is that it's cold out, and I have to wait at various tram and train stations on the way to and home from school. And the cold would make me sick again, and we'd start from square one. At home I could just hop in the car and barely be in the cold. :/

Grr. I want to go back to school. 

Weather

Today was a pretty average day:)

I had to run for the train and I slipped in by like 2 inches. Yippee!

Today I was noticing how everyone was complaining about the cold. I didn't think it was that bad... So I liked at the weather here and the weather in Kalispell and laughed. This is right now, 10:30pm for me and 2:30pm in Kalispell. (Fahrenheit)

Friday! Week 5!

I still have the plague. Ew. I had choir today, which was a complete waste of time because I sound like a dying elephant when I sing. But at least it's the weekend! Yay!

The school trip and the plague

Tuesday-

Today we met at the train station at 7 am, which meant I got to get up at 5:45. Then we were on a train until 10:30. We arrived in some little town and rode the gondola thingy up to the top of the mountain where there was a little restaurant. Then we spent 6 hours hiking 14 miles. It was fun, except my feet feel like one big blister. And there was a ton of fog the entire day, so we couldn't see more than 50 feet in front of us, which was a shame because we were on the border to Italy and Switzerland, and if the skies are clear, you can see super far into both countries. But at least it didn't rain, and it was pleasantly chilly. 

We got to a big building right next to anther gondola, then played card games and watched soccer until we went to bed. Then we just sat and talked and listened to music until about midnight. It was an exhausting and awesome day. 

Wednesday-

We got up at 8 to eat breakfast, and then we just sat around listening to music and talking again until we had to leave.

We went down the mountain in an adorable little gondola thing again, and then took the train to a city called Lugano and spent the day just messing around there.

We then hopped on the train and went home. I got home around 8 and didn't feel so good... I went to sleep around 9 and had to get up for school the next day and that's when I realized: I had the plague. (A.K.A. I have a useless cold.)

So that's what I've been enjoying the past two days at school. Everyone gets to enjoy the lovely sniffling, coughing Isabelle. Joy. *cue confetti shower*

But on the bright side, I had "Dönner" for lunch on Thursday. It's this type of meat... That's really yummy... Almost like bacon. With fries. It's hard to explain. Anyways, that was delicious. And apparently all my classmates think it is horrifying that I've never experienced different Swiss specialties, so we have a mini lunch menu thing planned for the next couple of weeks, so that I try new stuff every few days. I'm excited!

Summer weather!! (Not really)

It's Friday!! It seems like this has been a really long week... Only 11 days left of school!

After our "fitness day" in P.E. today last period (basically a day where we run the entire period) my friend Kayli and I were super tired and exhausted, so naturally we decided to go jump into a lake. In Montana. In May. When it can either be snowing or be as beautiful as it has been the past few weeks. 

Let's just say it was cold. Very cold.

But it was also super fun. Afterwards we watched movies and ate pizza and talked about school and stuff:)It was awesome. I hope this pretty weather continues!

Bye!
