hello everyone i am sitting at my desk wishing i was home and now realizing that i don't really think i am that suited for travel for long amounts of time because i can't stand being away from my family. i am counting down the days utill i can come back to my favorite place in the world my house at turtlepond with my mom. i should be doing my English homework or math but i am obviously not. i took a 4 hour nap today and am still tired from staying up so late last week.
the house i am staying at is very small compared to the open house i am used to and barely has any windows. it also does not have a shower but only a bathtub with a hand held sprayer. the toilets are also different than in the US i plan to share a picture soon. i am wondering if this is true with all of europe but all we seem to be eating are sandwhiches. which i am becomming tired of and hope that the meals will change for the better soon. at first i thought they ate alot of chocolate but i
think that was just a welcome thing.
Babsi's family keeps saying that i am too tiny in weight wise but i have to dissagree i think i am just fine. i might be loosing weight but i am not shure yet as of now i weigh about 116lb or 53 kg. and when i left i think i weighed more like 125lb.
i have been shopping but have only bought some shoes and a skirt. i don't live near anything very interesting. there is only one small shopping area near by. i think that A2 is deffinatly smaller than the reidential area where i live but it has more to offer by far! i love and miss it in michigan so much i never thought i would but i guess i am just a country girl. haha.
the things i miss include driving to school in the moring with the radio blasting and singing way to loud for 7:00 in the morning. here we just take pubic transport every morning which is very boring. i miss all the green and the trees back home we live out side the city and still there are like no trees.
i just can't seem to get my hair clean all the way but i have always been bad at that so i will just keep trying. tomorrow my class is going to a zoo near by so i can get up alittle later but no by very much i usualy have to get up at 6:30 but i can get up tomorrow at 7:20 so i get some more time. today i saw a dog on the bus but sence it was it had to have a mussle on and i could tell it didn't like it i made me sad. it was the same kind of dog maggie has but lighter in color. i don't really like school, it is extreamly boring and i can't understand any thing. plus the kids are really immature so far and don't really include me yet because i can't really talk to them but still it sucks to just stand there all the time. the teachers are understanding mostly but also don't really know what to do with me so i don't really get much done i will ask them what i should do next and they don't give me a straight
answer even if they say it in english. in class there are alot of dictations too and those are killer because i can't understand plus i can't read anyone's handwrighting but what ever roll with the punches life throws ya.
today i did eat for lunch french fries and green beans and some gross cooked spinach. i also for dinner tried a mozart torte from this fancy hotel Babsi's mom went to whith her 3rd grade class, it was chocolate with layers of martzipan and it was not half bad. it was noting compared to the diserts we have at game night at my sister's house but it was ok. the sweets here are so different like i havent seen a chocolate chip cookie yet or any type of cookie acept for biscut like stuff which are definatly not the same.
ok well i could type forever but i should do some homework. bye i miss al of you guys back home very much.
day's left: 53
