Today was just not a good day and not my day either. I got up at 4:45 to catch my bus only to have that bus drive right past me and miss it, 10 minutes before it was scheduled. We had a special day in school and at first I wasn‘t on the list, then they sent me up to attendence, who sent me down again. Only then they put me back in some random class. We were divided into 16 groups and reviewed 16 chapters of U.S. History by a lot of teachers that aren’t history teachers. To sum it up it was super boring. As I got home I was trying to go to the gym. As I first used the brake on my bike I flipped over and hurt myself „only a little“. I was so done for that day, only keeping my cool very little. I had a good dinner and that kind of helped me.

Today was quite uneventful. I woke up at 6 went to school and school was pretty boring. Although I got a lot of comments on my hair. After school Julie drove me around Crystal River and showed me some places. Then we made some chili and hung out a little. I had a really huge dinner and now I’m going to bed early.

Today I was moving to my 3rd hostfamily. I woke up really late and started packing up the rest of my stuff. Around noon Connie and I decided to go to the Y one last time. I had a really great workout. After we were done I finalized my packing up and took a shower. Then we went straight to my new host Family, Jack and Julie Reynolds. They have a really big house and it’s right next to a River. There’s a lot of hunting trophies around, including 3 dear head in my room. We had duck poppers and venison stew for dinner. I can already tell, that I really like them, despite a difference in interests. They’re watching Arrow right now, so I joined them and we talked a little. Overall, I’m pretty happy with my new host family right now. Also, Connie told me that Andy and her bought a house. Now I’m trying to get some rest before school tomorrow.

I had a lot of mixed feelings today. I woke up pretty happy and had a rather nasty breakfast but it was still good. On my way to the workout I just couldn’t stop thinking about one particular thing that made me really sad but angry at the same time. I was feeling down during my workout even though it was a great workout just looking at the numbers. We went to church today and for some reason that even I don’t know tears came into my eyes. As we got home and had dinner I felt ok again and we watched some basketball together. As I was brushing my teeth a feeling of happiness overcame me, again for no reason. I started „dancing“ to the music I was listening to.

Today was a really good day. I got up early and went straight to my workout. I did a new 6 repmax on squats with 235lbs. After I came home my stomach didn’t feel too good. In the afternoon I was at a friends house and we played some basketball and videogames. I had a really good time. When I came home a had a big meal and watched netflix. Really late at night I played Overwatch with Momo and that was a lot of fun even though we lost almost every game.

Today was a great day at the end. I was able to sleep in and went for a quick workout. I got really sore. After I got home I tried to start packing up but I procrastinated a lot. I finally did manage to pack up a little but in the meantime I got really sad and homesick. Luckily, I went to a birthday at the fair and that really lifted my mood. We had a great time together and did a lot of fun rides. Even though I did spend 45$ it was a really good time. Happy Birthday Bre!

It is official now. I bleached my hair blonde today. I woke up kind of early and had a good workout, altough my biceps didn’t work too good today. Afterwards I went to my appointment to get my hair bleached. It took about two hours and I’m really happy with the results. So far I haven’t really received any good feedback about my hair. The best I got was a looks different but suits you. I kind of like it and that’s all that matters, also I’m going grey in two weeks anyway.

Today had its ups and downs. I was able to sleep in and linger around for a while. In the afternoon I decided to go to the gym and do a chest day. Inspite of how good my chest day 2 days ago was, I wasn’t able to hit my bench as smoothly as last time. I didn’t give up though and it turned out to be an overall ok day. I wasn’t able to do decline bench, because the whole time I was there one guy occupied the only decline bench. After I got home I made dinner and it was ok. I did a great job on my calories and macros today. Also, I got the information that I will be moving host families on Sunday, so I guess I have to start packing up tomorrow.

Today was a great but long day. I got up kind of early, so I could go to the gym before my hair appointment. I got everything done and had an amazing workout. Altough now that I’m ready to go to bed my legs hurt like hell. The appointment worked out good and the barber did an amazing job. After that I went to Walmart to get some hair gel and some food. The rest of the day I was able to relax, but it was weird because my host parents didn’t come home until about 9:30.

Today was a low key day. I was able to sleep in and we went to church. After church we talked to a couple guys in the church and Andy was trying to „sell“ me to that family. Afterwards we had a couple hours to spare. I talked to my parents and set some things straight. I also watched a little Overwatch. At about 4 we went to the gym and I knew I only had a little time to get my workout done. It was an amazing workout, I got a really good pump and it just felt great. We had salmon for dinner and it was good.
