School was quite boring today and then afterwards I waited on campus for 3 hours to go to the dodgeball tournament. I had a lot of fun even though we didn’t get to play to much since we lost both our games. The first one was against one of the best teams and the second one was kind of unfortunate. Still it was fun to watch all those games and crazy plays. Now I’m going to work on my CV a little.

I used this sunday to get all my stuff up to date, wash clothes, etc. Then I talked a lot to my family and worked on my CV. I also noticed that I can’t go to homecoming because we already have something planned for that day. Now I’m kind a sad so I will go to bed early.

Today I woke up very early. Even  before my alarm that was set at 8. So I used that time to make a plan for tomorrow and just thinking about my exchange etc. Then at 8 I made breakfast and went to the gym. The workout was good but very hard since I hardly ate the last 2 days. At about 11 Ed came to pick me up so we could go to Clearwater Beach. Two hours later we arrived and Peter (Exchange student from Denmark) and I started to paint shop windows for Rotary in the name of the International Peace Day. After that we met with all the other exchange students to eat some pizza and go to the beach. It was a pretty exciting and fun day.

Today wasn’t really packed, but after a boring day of school, we went to a car show and I got some really good pictures of cars. But that was about it, nothing else happened, but tomorrow I have to get up kind of early since I am going to the beach to paint some windows for International Peace Day.

School was Ok today but as always nothing to major happened. As i went home my host parents weren’t there because they had to pick up their car in Georgia. So they were out the whole day. I used that free time on my off day to talk a lot back home. When my host parents came back I had a great talk. So after today I gained a lot of new views on all kinds of topics. I really enjoyed this day and I used my new shoes for the first time and they were great.

School was boring today but I guess that‘s just the way it is. After school I came home to my new pair of red shoes and they‘re amazing and they even fit this time. Then we went to the chiropractor to get my physical done. It was 5$ and they basically just signed the form.  I had a great supper and went to the gym afterwards. I had a great workout so I really earned my day of tomorrow.

So the school was the same as every day. My culinary teacher just invented a new rule on how to form sentences, that only count as sentences when they restate the question. That made me kind of mad but I put up with it anyways. In both my math classes I just did my homework, while partly listening to the teacher’s notes. P.E. class is still getting more boring each day, but I love weightlifting class because there I’ll work on my muscles that I feel should improve. Lunch was fun, I even tried a fruit roll, which tasted awesome at first but then it had a spicy taste that made it weird. History class is really fun but we’re about to write a test and I really don’t want to study but I probably have to. English lesson is still the same and most of the time I still don’t know what to do there. My workout was good and so was my supper. Me and my host family talked about school today. The school calls every parent on a weekly basis and they have to take it, otherwise they will be ordered to the school. That was one thing that really showed me how much the school here acts kind of like a prison. It’s just ridiculous some times.

The school day was pretty boring today. Culinary and Geometry were the same as always. P.E. gets more boring each day, but I really improved in weightlifting class. Lunch was fun though, I really enjoyed it. History is always a good subject due to the teacher.  My math teacher told me today that I don’t have to take notes since I already know it and I can just start on homework and other stuff. Still, I don’t know about english because most of the time we don’t do anything at all. After school I did my usual workout and I was pretty proud since I really improved today. They changed my bus stop so now I don’t have to walk as far anymore. The rest of the day I will spend watching TV and maybe playing games.

I was sleeping in until about 10. I had a huge breakfast and after 2 hours I went to the gym having a really good workout. The rest of the day I spent talking to my family, playing games and listening to music. Our supper was grilled sausages with beans and potato salad. Afterwards Hazel explained Cribbage to me. It was kind of a fun game but it was pretty confusing. I went to bed early because I was kind of worn out by some reason.

Sleeping in to finally have enough sleep again. After a good breakfast, I went to the gym to do cardio. One Hour later on the treadmill i burned 1.6k calories. Then i made myself some ramen noodles for lunch and relaxed at the pool, while my clothes were washing. At 4 o’clock I was picked up to go to a college football game. Gators vs. Colorado, but we messed up our schedule so we arrived at half time. By then the gators already led 27-3. Still we saw 3 touchdowns and I really enjoyed the game. It was just amazing. Afterwards we went to Five Guys and I had a burger, fries and a peanut butter milkshake, which was about 3k calories in total. But it was worth it, it was just delicious.
