Yesterday, after school Jessie picked us up and took us to Chris' work. And he took Steven and me to my other hostsisters house, where Doris, Steven and I waited to go to the airport. We ate supper, I was starving. Every five minutes I watched on the clock.The time went by so slow. And it was finally time so we headed to the Birmingham airport. And we arrived there, but I was so hungry so went looking for the food court. But it was already too late so they were closed. We went looking for the arriving hall and the baggage claim. On the board we looked when her flight comes in, and guess what. It was delayed. shouldn't haven been suprised. At least I found a vending machine to get some snacks and something to drink. After a big confusion, her plane finally landed! On our way home we talked a little until she fell asleep. I remember how tired I was after my flight. We came home really really late. That's why I am just now uploading my blog. We crashed as soon as we were in bed. TodayAfter an exhausting day for her I let her sleep in the morning and I went to school. I think Doris took her to Guntersville and they went to eat. My school day was really boring. Doris and Raffaela picked Steven and me up from school. We went to get a bunch of groceries. At Wallmart I met Yaya and Faith! I am excited to do something with them.
This week I realized how blessed I am. I have everything I need in life. Sometimes actually a lot of times things don't go like I want them to. But when they do go like you really really wanted them to, you feel like the luckiest person on earth. I normally don't like saying when I am happy because every time I do everything goes wrong. But I don't think so this time.

Can't believe tomorrow is Raffaela already here! The time needs to slow down. Today was another great day. School was better than excepted today. And after school I went to Maiders house, where we prepared something for tomorrow. I love Maider soooo much. Jessie picked me up from Maider. We had trouble guiding her to Maider house. I'm glad she made it and really thankful she picked me up. For supper we went to get Pizza. I'm so excited for tomorrow. I just fell asleep on the couch. As Jessie woke me up I remember to update my blog.
Goodnight y'all! Great Start for the WeekHow the time goes by? It feels like I've just been talking yesterday with Raffaela on the phone, joking about how she should come visit me. In two days she will already be here. Crazy! After a rough weekend I had a great start for this week. I had a lot of fun at school! And a lot of fun after school with Sienna, Shayla and Steven. We were playing outside. I'm really enjoying the Alabama weather right now. After we had a great meal we went to take Shayle to her Softball practice. I watched her for a little, before I went for a little walk around the track.
Yesterday after school I went eating with some friends. I am glad I got out. I was in a really bad mood for the last few days. It brought me on other thoughts. I had a lot of fun. Today I went to a make-up party. I had fun with the girls and I learned a lot.
I can't really believe Raffaela is already coming in 4 days. I am so excited and I am hoping everything is going like planned. Can't wait for spring break! I haven't been updating my blog lately, mainly because I'm really tired and lazy the last few weeks or months. I'm basically tired of everything. I'm probably not supposed to write about my bad days in this blog but I wanna tell what I feel. I'm tired of having only one American girlfriend, who's my hostmother. I'm tired of Douglas. I'm tired of not beeing able to do any activities in school. I'm tired of EF. I'm tired of being always the second choice. I'm tired of people telling if I want to change anything I need to take the initiative, because I can try my hardest and make it even worse. I tried to be positive the last couple months, but it's not easy to stay positive without anyone to support you. I always help out anyone. I try to be there for all of my friends. But I feel like my karma is still pretty bad, no matter what I do. There are a lot of nights, where I just think about quiting, just giving up. Going home, to my friends and family. Well back to my actual blog post. I went looking for a prom dress with Doris. We had so much fun! Not my actual dress! Just thought it was funny. A lot of birthdays of my family members went by. Get togethers are fun!Last friday some friends came over. We had some pizza and we played some Just Dance. I don't really know if they had fun but I hope so. Valentine's Day I went looking Deadpool with friends and afterwards we went eating at Los Arcos. We went to Zaxbys for a milkshake. And afterwards we went to Wallmart. I had a lot of fun. 25 Days!In 25 days my best friend from Switzerland is coming to stay with me during spring break! I'm so excited, can't wait for her to here. Well that's about it. Thank you for taking your time to read my blog. Shayla's Birthday PartyOn Sunday I went to my host nieces birthday party. It was a pool party. Yes, a pool party in winter! I had much fun and I hope Shayla had a great birthday. A bad week...This week isn't going really well for me. I had a rough start. I wanted to see my best friend cheer but we were 3 minutes late, so I missed it. And yesterday was everything going crazy because of the tornado waring. At least we got 3 hours delayed today. The best of all is my best friend is until next week in Disney! How am I supposed to survive school until you come back, Julie?
I'm so glad we went to eat with my host sisters family today. It gave me energy again and we had so much. I have so much luck having such funny and crazy host family. I am ready for the rest of the week! I am so glad I got to spent the night with friends from Crossville. I had a great time. It was really fun. We played a game I forgot the name and I kept winning. I think it's going to be my new favorite game.
I met a lot of new people. Great way to start 2016 with. I was really tired afterwards because I didn't really slept. So after Doris picked me up and we got some breakfast, I went straight to bed. 2016 is going to be my year. After my nap we ate a lot black eyed peas for good luck and greens for money for this year. Happy New Year y'all! I realized something.
All my life I was negative about everything. I didn't wanted to get myself disappointed if I am excited about something and then it's not going to turn out how I want it. The same with this exchange year. I was all excited about it and I expect it different. And I was dissapointed and thought everything is bad. But it is only so bad how I bad i make it. A friend made me realize that I always complain and not appreciate what I have. I talked with my regional coordinator, she told me a lot about other exchange students and made me even more realize that I need to change something. I am going to be positive! New Years resolution set. Thank you Penny and Doris for supporting me and helping me with everything.
After a few rough days here I got my enthusiasm back. I am glad I spoke with my family back home.
Sometimes I get depressed by small things and let me push down easily, but my famliy made me realize again that I have to take the initiative to change things. Ready to enjoy an other 5 great month in Alabama. I am so happy with my host family. I had a great Christmas Eve. We played the Jelly Bean challenge and I already got two great presents and I hope they liked mine. I am excited for tomorrow! |
