Lots of news...

So in the last month there happend a lot, and i didn't really feel like writing about it all then, so it took my more than a month to make a new post... well here it is:

First of all I had to change hostfamilies, because it didn't work out anymore. On Thursday evening after I came home from the last Softball practice before tryouts, Julie came to pick me up. It was one of the worst moments during my whole exchange.
But then, the next two weeks I lived with Julie and her family.
One weeek after leaving at Lorena's house I finally got all my stuff back. So, I didn't had any of my things, except for a few t-shirts and the stuff I just packed for the weekend. So I didn't had anything for school either, but all the teachers were so understanding and I didn't had any problem at all. It was just annoying for me, but yeah, that's life as an exchange student.

On the first saturday I was living at Julie's house, there were the Softball Tryouts. I got up around 6:30 in the morning and Jonathan, Julie's son drove me to the school, what took about 30 minutes. It was freeying, raining and windy, nevertheless I had fun there. It was a good day for me too. After the Tryouts I went to Shelby's house, since there was no point to go all the way across town and then back around 1 to get the results.
At one Shelby and me went back to school, where all the other girls were too. Then they told us whether we were in the team or no. Unfortunately, I wasn't.
I miss Softball, because I had so much fun there, even though it was hard. But even though I hope I can go to some of the games, it would so much fun!

Living with Julie was awesome! I felt like home there and if it wouldn't have been for the school, I would have stayed there for the rest of the year. I just didn't want to change school for the last three months. So I had to start lookin for a new hostfamily. How i did that? I just ask all of my teachers, if they would know somebody. Mrs. Salb, my chemistry teacher then referred me to Dr. Aten, an astrology teacher at Centennial. He has hosted exchange students for several years, and they have some good contacts. So two days later on the career fair, his wife had a stand for exchange programs over summer, and they were also looking for more/new hostfamilies. So they decided they would ask around for a new hostfamily and there were quite a few people who said, they would talk to their families and think about it.
There was one, really nice family, but they weren't sure whether to take me or not. Last Wednesday then, when Julie picked me up after school, she told me that they would have found a family for me. At home then I started packing all my stuff. I thought I would have a lot, but referring to Julie and my new hostmum I don't. Well then xD
On Thursday then, Julie picked me up from school and we went directly to my new family! I was so ecited and also nervous, because I practicly didn't know anything about the family. So when I arrived there I first met my mom. She is from the Philippines and works as a cocktail waitress at one of the casinos. Then later my sister arrived, she's going to 8th grade, and also really nice. In the evening I got to know the third and last person of the family, dad. As I found out, they used to host for YFU, and they still organise some of the activities for the YFU students un Las Vegas. But from next year on, they will be doing that for EF.
So far I am really happy here, and I know, that the rest of my year here will be awesome!
