Small recap + day 80

So it has been quite a lengthy time since I have last written but Ive been really quite busy.. Actually I´ve had something almost every day.. I think it helps . Thats my conclusion anyway. Having something productive to do everyday or at least a small checklist of things to get done. It really helps to stay positive.

Im still tutoring English every Tuesday its great fun. We meet same time, same day, same place every week. Having something so constant really helps to establish a feeling of comfort and routine. We just talk for an hour or two and it helps his word recolection and mine.. If it werent for the English books that Ive been reading and the tutoring, I think that my English would be terrible.

My weekends have been really busy. Out of the past 4 weekends I´ve been away with Rotary for 3 of them. Its great to see the other exchange students, (truly love them!!) but its quite frustrating for both my host family and my friends. They don´t normally have much time after school , studies here are on a whole other level of intensity, so weekends are really the only time to hang out together. :( Its a real shame that Im busy at times. But my weekends are really great .

My free weekend was really really great though!!

Here they dont have a lëadership program in school but there is a group of students, "The Action team", which puts on a few theme days a year. This Friday (day 80.. november 21), was chocolate day. All of the students had to dress up in either black, brown or white.. then a group of us made chocolate pudding from scratch.. no "jell-o instant" over here.. and laddeled it out to whoever brought a cup. The class showing ther most chocolate pride was awarded a fantastic chocolate cake that one of my friends baked! It was really fun and an excellent end to the week. That evening I went to another Fishnet event, they hosted a čajovna. It was fantabulous!! really but really!! They had pillows all over the floor and fabrics drapiong from the ceilings all over the walls.. looking very authentic!!.. Then the head fishnet guy dressed into character and self appointed himself "Bobor" the official čaj man! Truly fantastic.. Ashley, the girl from texas that I believe i have mentioned before, and I talked all night and drew eachothers portraits.. with crayons and some craft paper.. they were fantastic might i add.. we totally have skills!!.. I stuck around to help with cleanup and chatt with the other. then a group of us went out for a bit.. SUper incredible fantasticle day!" truly smiles all round!!.. AND THERES MORE!! FIRST SNOW!! obviosly meaning.. first snow fight! it was wet. and freeyinging.. and fantastic!

ps.. i lost the battle of the snow terribly.. :(

pps.. i know it has been forever since ive written.. but i have abook that ive been writing things in.. so my blogs will still be pretty accurate. and i have about 16 of them all writen out its just a matter of having access to a computer.. and my families internet has been down for some while.. i know those are lame excuses.. but its true...

Love and miss you all!!!
