Finally I can say it... I have been for an entire month!
In this month I have met a lot of new people, I started the American high school, I have eaten American fat food, I watched my first football games, I celebrated my 17th birthday, I went to Chicago and Springfield, I joined the swimming team, I took my first tests at school, I went homecoming dress shopping (even if I haven't found one yet), I spent time with my host family, I joined my first surprise party, and I did a thousand of other amazing things.
'How are you doing? Are you happy?' is the questions that everyone usually asks me... Why shouldn't I be happy?! I'm literally realizing my dream: travel, visit new places, know a new culture and meet new people. Obviously, I had some moments where my English didn't really work, so I was asking myself where all the years that I have studied English were.😅
Anyway, I got used to my tiring daily routine, so I'm proud of myself.😂
My routine is basically this one:
- At 5 a.m. I wake up to go to swimming morning practise (only on Tuesday and on Thursday)
- At 7 a..m I go to school which starts at 7:30 a.m.
- Then I have English, American Government, Anatomy, Algebra II (I changed the maths class because honors pre-calculus was too hard), then I have Spanish III, lunch, Spanish III, American History and Journalism (it's basically the yearbook)
- At 2:15 p.m. school finishes and I go to swimming that starts at 2:30 p.m.
- At 5 p.m. swimming finishes
- Then I go home and I do my homework, I have dinner and I take shower (the order changes everyday) or I sometimes go out with my friends
- Finally, I go to bed
Saturdays
- From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. I have swimming practise
- In the afternoon, I usually go out with my friends or I do something with my host family
Sundays
- I go to church at 11 a.m.
- In the afternoon, I usually go out with my friends or I do something with my host family
Yeah, it's basically everything.
It's already been one month... How is it possible?!
