School was quite boring today the first two lessons. Even though we wrote a test and have a new teacher in geometry. After lunch my whole day was dedicated to sports. Football „practice“ during panther Hour, weightlifting, throwing  the ball in gym class, football practice and workout after school. Football practice was pretty short today as we just went over all the different plays for tomorrows game. Now I’m just resting the rest of the day looking forward to the weekend and the Hoodie Allen concert on Saturday.

School was ok today I guess. I missed my least favorite subject today because of the Rotary meeting. The rest of the day was kind of the same and quiet. But we played Kahoot! in Geometry and by the end of the lesson I was first by 10000 points. After school I went to football practice and today they gave us a lunch and time to make up homework for school before starting. Then the practice went on until 6:30 which is way too long, especially when you can’t do anything. Afterwards i ran in the gym burning calories today. But there wasn‘t much free time today. Now I finally finished my application for the job I might be taking upon returning back home.

What else could it be: School was boring today again! Although I had fun at the basketball tournament today since we were up against a team our strength. But then the major part of the day began. Finally after 9 weeks of school I did it! I now have officially done my first football practice. It took me about 30 minutes to get the right sized helmet and they gradually introduce me into football, so no tackling for now. Sad thing was after about 5 minutes of practice it started pouring, but it was really unfortunate because about 20 minutes after it started thundering so we had to stop. Then we spent an hour talking about different tactics and I understood about 0.1% of what they were saying. But coach told me I will get into it real quick and I’m now going to play football for the remaining 3 weeks of season if nothing major happens.

School was quite frustrating the first 3 lessons. Culinary and Geometry were boring as heck and during PE we continued our basketball tournament. Somehow I ended up on the team where no one even remotely knew how to play basketball or even handle a ball. Good thing was I could push out all that frustration in weightlifting, which really helped. Lunch was as always the most fun part of school. In history he handed us back our test and said our class had the best grades out of all courses and even the best result, but he isn’t even american. This was kind of embarrassin to be called out like that in class even if it was something good. 103 out of 100 isn’t bad I guess! In Algebra I asked my teacher if I can use my phone so I can learn some spanish. She agreed but probably thought I am crazy. Then in English I laughed a lot since me and my seat neighbors had quite a funny discussion. I also talked to my English teacher whether I had to take the SAT’s and ACT’s or not and then went on talking about the different school systems. Bottom line I don’t have to take them but they’re free and I can try just in case. The rest of the day was just the usual workout and watching shows.

This Sunday as every Sunday I used to get myself ready for the week. Meaning washing my clothes etc. I dragged myself to my workout because somehow I was super unmotivated today. I did sleep in but it wasn’t to satisfying since I didn’t have a good sleep and some nightmares. Other than that I’m using my remaining time for making cookies, getting clearance to finally be able to join a football exercise and working on my resume again.

This Saturday I used for getting the workout done that I missed yesterday plus doing my usual workout. Other than that I spent a lot of time watching the Overwatch World Cup and Netflix. Nothing really happened but due to my workouts I was pretty tired very early.

Today was homecoming!!! School was super boring but it went by really fast so that was good. Sadly I couldn’t work out today, because after a little lunch my parents took me straight to the homecoming game, while they went on to the theater. I was early to the game like 1 hour and then 1 quarter into the game the canceled it because a storm was coming. So guess what I had to wait another 2 hours before homecoming. As we finally entered the dance, I wasn’t too hyped about it but I tried to make the best of it. Somehow, I achieved to be in a group of 4, being the 4th wheel but also the odd one out. That kind of made it hard for me to really enjoy it at first. Then we went on to dance with some of my friends from school. That really made my day, even though I still wasn’t to enthusiastic about dancing. After all, it was kind of fun but nothing I could do every month.

School was very uneventful today. The first lesson we could redo assignments we didn’t turn in yet, so I slept for 1.5 hours straight. Second lesson was the same amount of nothing but I couldn’t sleep because we kind of had something to do. 4th period was cool even though we weren’t able to go to the weightlifting room and in 3rd we waited in the gym to get called to go to the Homecoming parade. It only lasted 20 minutes but it was fun, while dying of heat since we were directly in the sun. My workout was quite exhausting but I burned 1.8k calories. Our evening program was bowling with the rotary club. It was cool but I wasn’t doing too good and some of the Rotarians were kind of competitive about it. For supper I had a Baconator at Wendy’s-delicious.

School was surprisingly good today. Other than I expected I had a lot of fun. It was Country vs. Country Club day and lots of people dressed out cowboy-like. I took the word country more literally and wore my Germany Jersey. After school I bought Ben& Jerry‘s ice cream and a Lecanto High School pullover. Plus I had an awesome workout but my legs are done now. About the history test it wasn’t worth the time I spent on learning because it was soo easy. The rest of the day I used watching shows and looking at some of the stuff my host mum knit/crochet etc.

Today was meme day in school. My meme was the socially awsome and awkward penguin:“Teacher sent my crush to sit next to me. She said ‚Why him?'“. Not too many people dressed up and the mood for me today was kind of depressing. Anyways, after I came home from school I went to the gym and that really made my day. I still have to make the decision whether I’m going to homecoming or the theater. Then there’s going to be a history test tomorrow for which I had to study the first time in my exchange year. What a bummer! Now I use the rest of the day to relax and to get my mind off of any bad thoughts.
