Philosophical discussions

Today we had two hours for lunch, and I went with six other girls from my class to the mall near the school. We literally talked the entire two hours about whether or not God is real, our purpose on Earth, etc. I love finding people my age that want to talk about random (boring to most people) stuff like religion, politics, or current events. I have friends in Montana that are into that type of stuff, but 98% of high schoolers in America aren't. And that's sad. Because younger people usually have a totally different way of looking at the world and interpreting it, and it's really cool. Ah well. Just another one of those things I am really really really going to miss about Switzerland... The younger generation's interest in actual ideas instead of One Direction.

My grandfather suddenly had a really bad backache yesterday, and barely was able to get into bed. My grandma called the doctor and the doctor gave him pain meds but they didn't do anything. They tried stronger meds that evening, and they still didn't work. So an ambulance came to pick him up and take him to the hospital this morning. Turns out he somehow broke two ribs! He has to stay for a few days until they figure out the most effective pain meds. I'm relieved that the pain wasn't something worse. Hopefully he gets better soon!

 

Apparently I am not a party animal

So, last night I went to that Christmas dinner, but I left early to go to bed. Lame, I know, but I was/am still sniffly, so I have an excuse. But my grandma told me this morning that she and my grandpa didn't come back until 2 am?! Are my grandparents better at partying than I am? Really? *cries*

Today I went to school and then Skyped with my mom. Hi, mom! *waves*

Happy Friday, though! Yay! I can sleep!
