Im going to choose the following categories, and Im going to write something about each one once a week either on Sunday or Monday.
Categories: School, Family/Friends, Food (If I can remember anything), Rotary/Special Events, Clubs/Outside of School Activities
I may add more but thats all I have for now. Anyways, here is my blog post for Sept 20 2013 - Sept 29 2013 ( A little longer span than it will normally be).
School:
School is great! I still dont really do much in my classes but it is a great place to see al my friends if I cant outside of school, plus it really helps me improve my spanish. I am also playing soccer at my school which is fun. I havent played too much, only practiced twice and I play in E.F. but still. Today there is supposed to be a game but I don't know when and I have spanish class today so I dont know if I can go. My favorite classes at school right now are English/Spanish and maybe Biology. Its hard to decide when I dont understand everything but our English/Spanish teacher is awesome.
Family/Friends:
So I haven't been with my own family for the past week because they went out of town for a week but on September 19th, I went to my friend Michael's house to stay. I stayed there until yesterday. And from September 20th - September 23/24th I went to Trinidad, Beni, Bolivia with his family and my friend Kate's family. Trinidad was awesome because I saw all sorts of cool animals and the great culture of Bolivia. I saw many cool animals and even rode motortaxis. The greatest part of that was having time to bond with my friends. When we returned, I spent Tuesday with other exchange students in Plaza Principal in Santa Cruz. There we went for ice cream at VacaFria - which was awesome <3, and we went to burger king, and then we got pizza (Special exchange student diet ;) ). On Thursday, I also went with Kate's family and Michael's family to Expocruz, a big thing kind of like the NY state fair with all sorts of vendor booths and such. It was pretty cool but we only saw like 30% of it :P
Rotary/Special Events & Clubs and Activities
Not much to say for these, so I put the categories together. I haven't really done anything for Rotary this week but I think I am supposed to have a meeting tomorrow and in about two weeks I am going with 18 other exchange students to San Javier for a flower festival and to see missionary churches of Bolivia and fun stuff like that. Im planning on asking my counselor about doing more stuff with Rotary here too, because the rotarians are awesome but I feel like Im not a big part of it yet. For clubs/activities, I havent really done much this week but normally I have soccer on Thursday and Sunday. I didnt go Thursday because I was at Expocruz, but yesterday there was some sort of opening for a championship I am supposed to be a part of. Yesterday 1 team play and then there was some sort of "parade" where we walked maybe 55 meters and then stood there while some rewards for something were presented. I didnt play yesterday but apparently the championship/ competition begins next week and there are 18 teams or so. Pretty excited for that.
I dont have much more to say right now, but as usual if you have any questions feel free to ask. Also, I will start posting in Spanish again in about 2 weeks :)
