This week was all held in a bus, except for the moments we stopped and in the hotels but basically they threw 60 exchange students in a bus and it was just a huge party of awesome. I met sooo many people from other countries, didn't get lots of sleep, had deep conversations, laughed over really stupid things. Learned different accents. Spoke English just about until I begged for French once again haha. Spend hours just in awe of how nice it was out side, I wore shorts most of the time it was great! I just really enjoyed the diversity of the trip..one moment we were picnicking getting sunburn and the next in 5 feet of snow in a mountain! I just am so happy to be living here and this trip gets me even more excited for the bus trip to the capitals of all the European countries!!! i actually am pretty sick today with the flu so i don't think i will write much more but I thought everyone would like a little something. All you have to do is type in the different towns into google and you can see where I have been! I also hope to get pictures up! MISS YOU ALL..my time here is flying by way to fast!!!!
