Flammkuchen & Thunderstorm

Today was super duper warm again, and I basically did homework & helped my grandma around the house all day. But in the evening I went to Dominic & Lara's for dinner, which was a Swiss pizza type stuff - called Flammkuchen, which literally means flame cake (thin crust with bacon, onions, and a creme sauce). It was really good:). I ended up staying until pretty late because there was a giant thunderstorm. The rain stopped around 10:30 so I walked home in the storm but avoided getting wet.. It was super creepy and super cool because the lightning and then thunder + it being dark out made for a perfect horror movie setting!

Apparently I can sports

Today we had p.e., or "sport" as it is called here, and we played lightning. Lightning is a game where you try to get the basketball into the hoop before the person behind you does, if you don't make it you're out, and if you do make it you go to the back of the line. Literally everyone at home knows how to play and everyone is really good at shooting hoops because basketball is a "cool" sport. Here, no one knew how to play, and I was basically the best player in class. It's pretty hilarious because at home I'm not one of the sporty kids. 

Tomorrow is a "sport day" and it's all the 3rd year classes (freshmen) against each other. We are swimming in the morning and playing volleyball in the afternoon. I'm really excited because I'm on a team with three girls who actually know how to play volleyball (unlike most of the other girls) so I think we have a good chance of winning!
