5 hours of lunchtime

Today so many classes were canceled that we had 5 hours for lunch! We went to the lake of Zürich and played volleyball on the lawn & some people went swimming. It was pretty awesome. I'm pretty sure everyone got a sunburn. Oops!

Half day & sprinkle photography

Today we had a half day like every Wednesday, and the weather surprised everyone by being super rainy in the morning and super sunny in the afternoon. I went to a friend's house after school to hang out & study, and we saw a picture idea on Pinterest... Which resulted in us doing this: 

Which I think is really neat. :) 

Spain Day 2!

Today we got up early and walked down a hill behind our hotel to wander through the actual city of Granada. 

We visited the Cathedral where Queen Isabella of Spain's body is, 

and a cool statue showing Christopher Columbus asking Queen Isabella for permission to go to India, which was neat.:) (oops, you can't even see the statue in the picture? My bad.)

Then we did some shopping, because everything in cheaper here than in Switzerland. Everything is cheaper anywhere else than in Switzerland (kind of). 

We came back to the hotel & went swimming & laid in the sun until dinner (it's so nice & warm here!), where we walked to a place close by where there was amazing cheesy pizza & paellas (rice with tomatoes and lots of other veggies-apparently a Spanish specialty). 

Tomorrow we have to get up early to get on the bus for two hours.. *horrified gasp*

cotton candy clouds

Today was an average school day, except it was super windy all day. Like super windy. Which made for gorgeous clouds! Here are a bunch from today. I love the sky. :) (all unedited!)

Happy Birthday, Dominic!

Today was a half day, and I went running with Lara and ate cake with Dominic for his 17th birthday:) It was a good day. 

Also, if you are under the age of 30 and/or have access to the Internet, you most likely know by now that Zayn Malik officially left One Direction. I am having so much fun going through literally any social media site and seeing posts and videos of girls absolutely freaking out. 

Strawberries & sunsets

I sound like a broken record because in almost every post I mention the weather. My excuse: I walk to and from school every day, so I really notice the weather, and there are a lot more sunny days here than in Montana, so I appreciate them more. Therefore I am again going to say that today was absolutely gorgeous.

I've also been getting more and more interested in photography, and I want to maybe start a blog for just my pictures. I'm not 100% sure yet. :) But anyways, here are some cute strawberries we had for dessert today, and a shot of the sunset because I liked the clouds. 

By the way, it's the 31st anniversary of the day that the Breakfast Club kids met for detention! 

Spring!

Happy Thursday!

Today was gorgeously sunny & warm, and in so excited it's almost springtime. :)

Also, normally when I come home at 6, the sun has already set and it's dark & creepy out. But not anymore! Yay for sunshine!

Here's a picture that I took the other day. I really like the perspective. 

Wooo spring!

Technically I Skyped with Stephanie this morning... At 1 am.

Today was a half day, and it was absolutely gorgeous weather. 

I spent my afternoon going running with Lara and doing math. The nice weather seems to have everyone in a better mood... Like just generally on the train more people are smiling. It's a nice change after a grey winter. :)

Sunny day

Today was an average school day, but I went to lunch with Lara. It has been so gorgeous lately... Warm and sunny, so we went down to the lake. 

All the stores are getting geared up for Easter, so there's even more chocolate than usual everywhere:)

Then for dinner I went over to Aunt Claudia and Uncle Ralph's:)

Happy sunny day!

Today was absolutely gorgeous weather-wise. I believe it said around 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit, which is really nice for March. It was so warm we sat outside for lunch:)

Today we got to go to school an hour later because our math teacher got sick, so I left the house at 9am and didn't have to be at school until 10. It's so cool to wake up in the morning and then walk down to the bahnhof and then to the tram in the morning when everything's waking up, and then again after school. I'm really going to miss so many things when I go back home. 

Fun times

Yesterday we went to a dinner with my cousins, Dominic and Lara. We played games and listened to music... It was fun. This was the gorgeous sunset on the way home.

Today I went to Blau ring, which is like a girl scout-type thing here with Lara. We had a muffin-decorating contest, and guess who won? This girl:) Here's a picture of my cupcake... It's modeled off of Olaf from the Disney movie Frozen. (The white bits around him are him melting;))

After we decorated muffins, we went to the Sihl river, which is about 5 minutes away from where my grandparents live. We played in the water and walked across the rocks over the river to get home.

Tonight we went to the "badi" (pool) and went night-swimming with Dominic and Lara. I've never been night-swimming, and it was super exciting.

Tomorrow is Dominic's confirmation, and then we get to go to lunch with some relatives:) Busy, busy, busy!
