HEy there=)
Today is the last day in camp, unfortunately =(. These two weeks were seriously one of the best weeks in my life! I made alot of new friends and had a lot of fun. I will miss you guys!!!!!
There are no activities today do I have lots of time to post something =).
Yesterday evening Kathi and me made our suitcases until after midnight and then we started to watch High School Musical Senior Year, but after an hour we already stop, because we were just too tired and went to sleep.
I get up like 8 o'clock to go to breakfast and afterwards we went to school. But school wasn't like usual. In homeroom we signed each others Gator shirts. In the other classes, we only had 15 minutes in each, we said goodbye to the teacher just hung out a little bit. After the last class (Pam's class) we went to the stairs near the cafeteria with all the other Gators and made a big group photo.
After taking the photo we were free until 2 o'clock. So we had like 3 hours lunch time, but also some time to finish packing our suitcase.
After lunch we went to homeroom wher we got the last information about cleaning the room, the dance, boarding the buses to the airport and the flight itself. April, our wonderful homerroom teacher gave each one of us a magnet with a photo of the whole home room class.
In like half an hour I will go to dinner and then get ready for the "End of Camp Dance". After the dance we have some time to get back to our room and take our cabine luggage with us and then we have to wait in the Kreitzberg areena until our buses leave. Mine will leave at 3:15 so i have to wait there for about 4 hours. fortunately I'm not flying from Boston, but from Burlington, which is only 1 hour away from Norwich and not like 3 hours like Boston. Anyway my plane will leave at 6:00 am and I will fly to NEW YORK (I have to wait there for 3 hours, long enough to get bored, but too less to go in to the city) From New York I will then get to my last flight to LAS VEGAS. But I still have no host family and I can't get in touch with Wendy to tell her that I have to go to them, to be honest, it looks like Wendy isn't even at home... Therefor I was at the office to talk to Melissa, she's a member of the Boston Office, and told her, what's going on. She said that she will figured it out and I have to go to her befor dinner again. I seriously hope that she's got some good news for me.
So, I will now go to the office and afterwards I will go to dinner with Ella, Sila, Jenny, Julia and maybe some more.
I will post again, as soon as I got a family to live with.

Update =)
Hey you =)
A short update what was going on at camp:
Yesterday we were at lake Champlain, an hour ago form the Norwich University. Only a few people went swimming, because it was quite cold and very very windy, although the water was warm.
This morning we started school as usual at 9 o'clock. After the last lesson (finished at 3 o'clock) we only had one hour free time. In this hour we and my room mate Kathi made laundry. For the first time in our live all alone!!!! I think we succeeded, even if we haven't fold the laundry yet. After doing the laundry we went to the BBQ where we had only around half an hour to eat, because we had to be at the buses at 4:40.
You may wonder now, why buses, you want to know? Seriously? OK, I tell you: today we went to a BASEBALL GAME. This may sounds exciting, but it wasn't even that cool. I liked the cheering (almost only from EF teachers, returnees and some students) but the game was boring. THe worst thing about it was: the Lakemonsters lost! (OK, I actually know nothing about baseball, except the most important rules, but the Monsters were the hometeam in Burlington and we "had" to cheer for them.)
So, now after I checked the rooms, I will go to sleep. The camp is not that hard, but still exhausting enough to get tired, when you don't go to bed by time!
Sleep well & good night

PS: I forgot something to mention! Today we pranked Pam (current issue teacher) and April, our lovely home room teacher! But unfortunately it didn't worked that well, because the paper we put them on the back, felt down too soon. At least it was fun and definitif worth to try it!

Boston =)
Hey you!
In the last past day was so much going on here in the camp, seriously. I just give you a short review about the last past day, and then some iformation about the day in Boston.
The school is very easy and chilling. The teacher are really cool and you sstill learn something. After school you have the possibility to do some activity (possibilty is may the wrong word, becaus you need at least 12 activities at the end of camp) like Ultimate Frisbee, Commando Hike, Fitness, Cheerleading, Soccer, Arts and Crafts (you would actually paint or tinker something, but when I was there, we were only talking with the teacher^^) and lots more.
But today we went to BOSTON, which means that we had no classes and no activities today (Yeah =D), otherwise we had to get up at half past 5 to go to breakfast and then going to the bus for the three-hours-trip to Boston.
In Boston we were totally free and could to whatever we wanted (it came out to be a shoppingday ^^)alsong as we were back at 6:30 p.m.
I went together with Eirin, Sila, Jenny and Ella (we're all in the same class). After some troubles finding the Quinzy Market (there are lots of shops to shop)we spent almost the whole day there. Shopping in Victorias Secrets and Abercrombie & Fitch (the coolest store ever).
When we went back to the bus it was raining cats and dogs and all EF students, returnees and teachers were either in the Starbucks near the meeting point or in anohter dry place.
We came back at Norqich around 10 o'clock, because of that the curfew wasn't at 11o'clock but at midnight. This was not really cool for me, because I'm one of the hall leader, which means I always have to check the rooms after curfew, so I couldn't go to bed, but had to stay awake until now.
After checking the rooms I will go bruching my teeth and then finally go to bed.
Good night

NORWICH =)
Hey everybody out there.
I AM IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, finally =)
I landed about 14 hours ago in Boston and after a 3 hours bus ride finally arrived at the Norwich University after an 12 hours of travelling.
It's very very cool here!
I'm sharing the room with a german girl, Kathi is very nice, but in the end it's quite bad to be in the room with a german girl, because then you only speak German and not English... but it's also cool, because you don't have do thinkg too much and it's much easier to get along with her =)
This morning we had sort of a procession throug the campus. So all swiss people where together and all german people and all itlian people and so on...With this "procession" we went to the Plumley hall were we had the first information and we finally got to know our teacher and our class for the next two weeks.
But now I have to leave for school, or better said more information and a tour through the Norwich univerity campus.
So I'm going to tell you more in some days, when I'm more used to the life here in the United States.

OH MY GOSH!
In 18 hours I will leave Switzerland for 11 month, without knowing where I will end up, after the 2 weeks of camp in Norwich.
So in 15 hours I have to be at the airport in Kloten and say Goodbye also to my family...
At least I have finished packing by now (I have to admit, without my twinsister I wouldn't even have started :P), but I always fell like I have forgotten something... Gosh I hate that feeling!
And now it's time to say GOODBYE
and I seriously hope, that I have the time to write in here from time to time
