Day 178

Dinsdag, 31 Januari 2012

Not enough snow to mess with the buses, so there was school.  Lame.  :P  Had the Dutch class, and since it was a new level there were some new people, but of course our little group was all there as well.  It seems like it'll be a fun class again - it's the same teacher, so that's a good sign.  School, had the acting class, two periods in study (looked up colleges and such), and then the acting class again.  Got home a little after 6.

Of course, at 630 we left for a Rotary meeting in Turnhout.  Santi's new host dad invited us, because Santi has to go to the meetings every week, so he gets pretty bored.  Frederik came with, so we got to talk with some new people, and Emi delivered my blazer for me :)  Pretty fun night, with a lot of good food.

Also, my biological brother Collin left for his semester study in the UK (Bath) today!  He's a way better writer than me, so you should definitely check out his blog.

Day 177

Best part of relying on public transit for school?

When there's a strike, there's no school.  So, that basically tells you that my day was uneventful.  Spent time just looking over some old Dutch class notes, reading, and just hanging out in general.  Then, something magical happened - it started snowing!  Marcela RAN to my room yelling, so we got all bundled up and went for a walk outside.  She was so happy with the snow, it was really fun to see.

Afterwards, we went home, and Marcela made some Brasilian sweets with the ingredients her mom brought, and I skyped with my biological family to try to plan out their trip here.  It's getting so close!  Watched Mulan, had dinner, and then watched the last Hornblower (that ship series I adored that we started in France) episodes.  Fun night!
