Cozy Sweater Weather

Today I woke up to gorgeous snow on the mountains. It honestly looked like a postcard. But my phone camera can't capture it properly. :(

 Anyways, I did homework and some drawing and went with Lara on a walk & drank hot chocolate. :)

Friday! Week 9!

Today we had one period of Spanish that got cancelled. It was nice:)

There was a hot air balloon really close to the bus station and I tried to take a picture of of it because it was yellow with a black smiley face drawn on it which was really cute. 

I had 5 minutes at home after school before I had to leave again...  to a party at one of the kids in my class's house. It was fun and I'm super tired cause I got home late. Have you ever had roasted bananas and chocolate? It's really good. :)

(You slice open the banana and put chocolate inside, then wrap the banana in tin foil and put it in ashes and then when the chocolate melts you take it out.)

Super eventful Monday!

Today I got up early and had an uneventful day... School, homework. That's pretty much everything. Except that it was 72 degrees Fahrenheit and I was wearing long jeans. That was not cool. 

Goodnight! Here's a picture of some flowers I took a few days ago:)

Homeworkkkkkk

Today I went to church with my grandparents, spent 2 hours learning French grammar with my aunt, and most of the rest of the day doing homework and studying. Hip hip hurray.

Also tonight the moon was really really big and I tried to take a picture. I failed.

Rain

Today was gorgeously rainy. Which means all the slugs come out. I have never seen larger slugs than there are here. They're everywhere. (My hand is for size comparison)

School was school, only I got out super early! Yay! Tomorrow p.e. is moved to a different time, so I get out early again! Woot!

And all my classmates seem to be under the impression I live in a place like Alaska after seeing the video I sent them (see post "Monday"). I had to explain a bit that the video was made in the winter and that yes, we do in fact have relatively warm summers sometimes. 

Pretty day

Today I noticed when I was going home how gorgeous the sky looked. So naturally I had to take a picture. I also just missed the train, so I had 15 minutes to burn, but that's totally not why I took a picture. 

I'm pretty sure since it's no longer summer vacation the weather has just decided to be gorgeous. 

Tonight I Skyped with Katie. I miss everyone!

Rain Randomness

Yesterday it was super rainy, and of course that was the day we decided to fix up all the bikes. On the way back home Lara decided to come with me... So we had some fun. 

Apparently I'm hilarious when I'm struggling to get a bike up or down stairs...

I ran out of memory on my phone so I imported them all to my laptop and then to a USB drive and then deleted them from my phone. I think I take too many pictures...

I didn't go by the baby bottle today, but I edited a beautifully professional picture:

Today for dessert at lunch I had chocolate because I'm so addicted. Chocolate is so freaking good here!!!

Tonight the sky was doing its usual beautiful thing so I had to take a picture.

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!

The day of the freaking big spider

On Wednesdays we only have a half day of school, so I got home at 1, which left me the whole afternoon to do nothing, which was awesome. 

The weather today was gorgeous, and the sky was so pretty, I just had to take a picture...

I checked to see if the baby bottle from yesterday night was still sitting on the sidewalk, but it wasn't. I found a pretty little flower instead. 

At around 9 pm i walked into the room where the computer and the tv is. I didn't feel like turning on the light cause I just had to unplug something real quick. I turned around and started walking back out when I stepped on something, and it moved. I skipped off of it and turned on the light and there was a VERY LARGE spider just chilling right in the middle of the floor. I shuddered and then vacuumed it up. Ew.

Also, yesterday was my favorite little brother's birthday!!! Happy 12th Birthday, you little booger! 

I can speak Spanish?

This weekend I basically just did homework and talked to friends. I did make some gorgeous little avatars for my family because I was bored... Voila.

Also one of me because yay

There was also a gorgeous sunset on Sunday evening, I couldn't reach my phone quickly enough to take a good picture so here's an ok picture. 

Today was another interesting day at school... In Spanish we had to memorize a paragraph and then present it to the class as a way of getting familiar with the pronunciation and such of he language. I did my thing and (mostly) memorized it, and a girl came up to me after class and was like "omg have you had Spanish before ur really good at speaking like super fast omg like wow" and I was confused because I've never taken Spanish....? So anyways, that was fun.

After school today I had voice lessons and as I was walking up to the music building a little (12/13 years old?) student decided to pass me all swaggy-like walking that weird way some guys do when their pants don't fit right I don't know... And I almost literally laughed out loud at him because he had the saggy pants, the weird suspenders as a fashion statement, a hat on backwards with Mickey hands rolling a joint, and the earbuds blasting rock music. So I decided to be a weirdo and take a picture. It was hilarious. (I'm not a stalker, I promise).

I had a little bit of time before my train came after my voice lesson so I got to read some German and eat cookies!!! (The cookie is a mini version of something called a "Spitzbueb" which means something along the lines of boy-with-attitude literally translated)

Also, I have found this app called Duolingo and it basically reviews/teaches you another language in 5-20 minutes a day (you pick your "goal"). It's really cool, and I've been using it for a few days.

Goodbye, Montana

These past few days have been crazy packing and saying goodbye to friends and family. 

But now the adventure begins! Katie came with me to the airport to say goodbye... And I cried... 

And now we are just sitting in the airport in Glacier waiting for our flight, which leaves in an hour and a half. Blech. 

Look! Airport picture!!!
