Hey you =)
So Yesterday I had my first schoolday at an American High School. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? But I tell you, it is only exciting for the first 15 muntes, afterwards it was boring. Why? Well you're going to see, when I tell you more about my first schoolday:
I got up at 5 o'clock in the morning. That's pretty early, especially for me. But anyway. I left home at 6 o'clock, to go to the schoolbus-stop. My schoolbus left at 6:21 and arrived at school around 6:45. The first hour in school was homeroom. We got our schedule and all the information about A and B days, lunchtime and all this stuff. After homeroom I had Geometry, but only for half an hour: All we did in this class, was sitting on our table, waiting for the teacher to call our name, going to the teacher so he could sign our schedule, go back to our seat and then wait for the rest of the class. After Geometry it was the same at U.S. History. My next class was Myth&Folklore, and it was the first class we didn't only wait. The teacher explained the classroom rules. Not that interesting, but still better than just waiting. After Myth I had Drawing, it was actually once again the same, but it wasn't as noring as before, because the girl on my table was very talkactive, so I had to speak with her. She was very nice. Then I had Japanese, it's somehow quite strange, but not really noring. The teacher as well explained the rules and gave us a sheet with the course expectation on it.
Then I had lunch. For only half an hour. While I was waiting in the line, I met Yanisa, a girl I knew from the Volleyball practice. But She went off to sit down with her friends pretty soon. So I started to talk with to other girls, 2 freshmen who were really nice.
After lunch I had Computer Application, American Literature and Chemistry.
Comp App was as boring as Geometry. But American Literature was much better, because we had an Icebreaker. This means the teacher handed out a sheet with sentence like:
someone who's an only child. And then you had to go to your classmates and ask them, and if you found someone who the sentence was true for, he/she had to sign your sheet. So I got to talk to people and I had something to do, which let the 30 minutes pass a little bit faster.
The last class then was Chemistry. The teacher told us something about the grading and all this stuff, but also about himself. It was actually quite funny.
After my last class I had to go to homeroom once again, to hand in the schedule, evry teacher had signed. Then I headed over to the buses and went home.
Today I already had my second day. It was an A-day, so I had Geometry, Myth&Folklore, Japanese and American Literature. Since we now had like one and a half hour each classe, we finally started in all classes, but most of the time it was only about the procedures. Still better than yesterday.
Before Geometry started, I met an other exchange student, from Germany. She's very nice; and on this place I wanted to spot, that we only spoke English with eachother!
So now, I'm going to do my homework!
Good bye

Hello =)
So I finally found some time to give you a quick update.
The meeting with the counselor was OK, the counselor was very nice and explain everything. The only bad thing was, that like 3 of the classes I actually wanted to take were already full, so I had to change. But anyway, for the next year I'm going to have Geometry, U.S. History, Myth&Folklore, Drawing, Japanese, Computer Application, American Literature and Chemistry.
On Wednesday Lorena and I went to my school again to figrure out, where my rooms are and stuff like that. After we found my homeroom, we went on to search the other rooms, but before we could do it, we met a very nice teacher. She explained me everything, and told me, if I have any problems or just need somebody to talk, I could always come to her. Now I feel ready to go to school on Monday. The only thing I don't like about it is, that my school bus leaves at 6:20 in the morning and I need about 15 minutes to the stop. That means I have to leave home at 6 o'clock in the morning.
On Thursday we went to the Strip. We parked at the Excalibur and then started to walk down the Strip. It was fun, but I haven't seen all of the strip by now, so we will go there again.
Yesterdaym Aspen, my hostmum's gradndaughter spent the whole day here, because her mom was working, and the school she's going to was closed. Aspen helped me making a carrot cake, which turned out good, but it just didn't really tasted like a carrot cake^^
In the afternoon, we went to a swimming pool. There were like 5 life guards for 2 pools, much more than I'm used to from Switzerland. After the pool, we went home and Yolanda, Aspen's mother came to pick her up. This day with Aspen was very exhausting, because she always wanted to play with me, but I had a lot of fun and I was never bored, during the whole day =)
Today we went to the other end of Las Vegas (we drove about40 minutes in the car to get there) for the EF Welcome Party. There I met Kathi once again. She's very happy at her new family, and she was smiling all the time. But we had to leave already after 1 and half hour, to go to Aspen's Birthday party.
It was a really nice party, everywhere in the room were some Mermaid decorations, and at the end of the party there was a Piñata.
I will try to post again after my first week of school
bye for now

Two weeks =)
Heyho =)
I'm here in Las Vegas for two weeks! Unbelieveable!
What happen in these two weeks?
SO at the first weekend I went to the cinema with my wonderful host mum Loreena. We went to see Inception, a very cinfusing movie, and I had to explain it to Lorena, becuase she didn't really got it.
On Monday was Lorena's birthday and her daughter Yolanda invited us for lunch. So we went to the Mirage and after Lunch, Lorena, Aspen (Yoland'y daughter) and I went to Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. It was an awesome day and I had lot of fun.
The next day we went to my High School to get my registration done, and also to the athletic office, to get my sport package. The sports package is actually a form you have to fill out, to get the allowance to do sports at the school.
We also went to the library, to get my a library card.
On Thursday we went once again to my High School, to bring the registration form and the sports package back. In the athletic office they told me, that they are practicing Volleyball at the moment, so I could go home and change and then come again to practice with them.
So I had my first Volley ball practice. It wasn't even that hard, but still exhausting.
On Friday I went there again. The people were all so nice and friendly, I really had fun, and even though I was quite bad at it.
The weekend was pretty boring for me, because my hostmum had to work and I actually could only be at the computer or watch TV... but in the afternoon my host mum took me once again to the cinema, this time we saw "Eat, Pray, Love", Julia Roberts' new movie. It's a good movie, but there is NO action in it.
Well then on Monday went to the Volleyball Try-outs, I had already improved a little bit, and I was quite proud of myself. On Tuesday I had to go to the Try-out again, after the Try-outs, they told us who's in the team and who's not. I wasn't surprised at all, when they announced, that I wasn't. The pnly bad thing about it is, that I actually don't have to do anything until school starts at August 30... so it's once again watching TV, being on the computer or reading.
Oh I forgot to tell you, that I'm going to meet the counselor today at noon, to discuss my classes and all this stuff. I'm quite nervous, because I have no idea, what I have to do there, but luckily Lorena comes with me.
And: Fabiola, my lovely twinsister is travelling today, to her host family in South Dakota, in a little town with a population between 1000-5000 people. A whole different experience than me, but at least the time difference is now only 2 hours, not like before 9 hours. That makes it a lot easier to skype with her =D

Host family...
Hey!
I'm now sitting in my room at my permanent family.
How I got here? I will tell you:
After leaving camp at 3 am we went to the airport in Burlington. At 6 am my plane to New York left. Once landed in New York we had to wait about half an hour in the plane, before we were allowed to leave it. But actually it didn't matter, because I still had to wait about 3 hours on the airport in New York and you couldn't really do anything. But anyway my next flight was the ond to LAS VEGAS.
When I was sitting in the plane I became so nervous about where I am going to now and all this stuff, because I got the information about an arrival family at midnight before I left camp.
When I finally landed in Las Vegas everything was good. I got toknow my arrival family and was told that I will go to my permanent family on monday.
My arrival family was very nice and even though I had to sleep on the couch for two nights I enjoyed being with them. On Sunday we went to visit my arrival mum's daughter, at the other end of Las Vegas. There we went swimming in the pool and I cooked together with my arrival mum a very easy dish. It was a very nice day.
On monday my arrival mum had to go to work at 6am. But the arrival dad and the 2 sons where around so I wasn't alone. Then around midday Julie, my IEC came to poick me up and bring me to my permanent family. But we still had to wait for the approvement from the Boston office so I stay with Julie and her 2 exchange students (Kathi and Lorenzo). When the approvement finally came up, we were at Julie's house and my host mum, Lorena, decided that she will come and pick me up.
While we waited for Lorena to pick me up, I was talking to Kathi and tried to cheer her up, because she doesn't fell comfortable at Julie's and she also felt very home sick.
Now to my host family:
Lorena Brown is a single lady. She has got a daughter, who already moved out and s very sweet kitty. Yesterday her granddaughter was here and I had a good time with her by playing Line-up 4 and cooking with her.
Lorena was born in Honduras, so she grew up speaking spanish and learnt English when she moved to the US and had to learn it, because of school and friends and stuff like that.
I actually don't know what she's working and how old she is, bit it actually doesn't matter.
In the next few days I haven't planned anything and school won't start befor August 30 so I have a lot of free time. May be I will write again to tell you some news about living with my host mum... we will see.

Last Post while the camp =(
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
Johanna
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.

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
