Oh, I love America!

It has been a week since i wrote in my blog, so it's about time to get a new post ;)
I will try to post every week on Saturday/Sundays. You'll probably want to know things that happened this week and I'm sure i will forget some things but I'll give you as much information as possible.

So, this week was my first full week in school and it went pretty fast! We got our netbooks at school this week and mine's still not working... Shame on you NHS ;)  School was pretty chill this week and I made it into Concert Choir! I'm also in Yoga class and these classes are sooo amazing :) I got kicked out of the soccer team too, because i'm not eligible to play.. It has been a hot week with some very nice weather in here but there wasnt very much happening at school this week. But then came the weekend, it isn't over yet but i already had an amazing time this weekend! I've been to lots of Stores and new Restaurants / Fast food restaurants. I also met my new host family today and theyre very nice! They have 2 children who still live at home ( Julia and Abigail ) and 2 other daughters who already live in their own houses. I also went to my first American Football game and I loved it! You can't even imagine how much fun we had that night after the game at Carl's house, where we had a big Party ( btw Carl's the most amazing American guy ever!) and we did lots of fun stuff! Then today I met my new host family like I already told you and we went to a Barbeque restaurant and offcourse I had to take the ribs and they were amazing!! After this we went to Sweet Cece's ( frozen yogurt place ) and after that we went to the mall where I bought some really amazing Hollister clothes! We also went to their house and I must say it looks pretty amazing and big! They also have some computers and an Ipad I can use to skype with my friends/family so I think it couldn't get any better ;) The weekend still isnt over because I'm planning some stuff to do right now and tomorrow we have another day + It's Mark's Birthday!!! Happy Birthday Mark, let's have a big party!
Ps: Restaurants been to in the USA: Mcdonalds, Wendy's, Orange leaf, Sweet Cece's, Red Robin ( huuuuuge Hamburgers ) and Shylers ( Love the ribs there :) )

First week in America!

Hi everybody!!
This is my first post in America and i'm sure you guys are excited to hear about things that happened! The first 3 days in New York were amazing! The big apple is such a big city and there' too much to do in only 3 days, so we had very long walks but went to some stores too such as Abercrombie, Hollister and Superdry store. In our hotel we had Kingsize beds, a tv, a fridge, microwave, airconditioning and much more. We stayed at the Hampton inn and suites and it was amazing! After the 3 days we had to get up at like 4am to get to the airport and fly over to Evansville Indiana with a stop in Chicago. After about 4 hours of flying I arrived in Evansville. I got out of the plane and it was soooooo warm! I went into the building and started walking towards the exit and there they were, i think they were with about 15 or more people standing there waiting for me. They all welcomed me and we got my luggage and started heading for school, where i had to meet my counselor and make my schedule up for school. When this was done i had to go to the doctor to get my physical for soccer practices! After that we went to my new home and we had a lovely dinner. We had to eat quite quickly because i had soccer practice at 6pm ( it changed to 7Pm, so i had like an hour of free time). My first soccer practice was amazing, they have a good soccer team at north and we already won our first 2 games yesterday at the Jamboree ( i didn't get to play because you need 10 practices first! ) Since I arrived here I've had soccer practice every day and it's fun! For school, I had made up a schedule which i thought would be great but after 2 days i changed it. So now i'm taking English, Choir, Enrichment, UsGov, Marketing, French 5 and Precalculus. I actually love high school at North high school. Its a big and great school. I had to get used to all the halls though, but its not that hardif you have a map ;) I had so much fun this week because i just love it here and I'm definately going to have tons of more fun! I also had my first pool party and Storm at the same day and it was pretty cool to see all of this! This should be it for this week, so see you guys next week ( somewhere around saturday/sunday)

My Welcome family is the Bush family, who live in Evansville.
