Bad day
This night I woke up at 2 am (!!) and couldn't fall asleep again until 5 am! I was so frustrated and just kept tossing and turning. Because of only getting five hours of sleep, I had a pretty bad day. Nothing actually bad happened I just felt that the Earth's gravity was pushing harder on me today and I just wanted to break out in tears over small things.
Luckily I got to go to the gym after school to blow off some steam. After that we went out to dinner to a new restaurant and I felt a bit bad for them because it was all very stressful and it took forever to get our food.. But it was still pretty good.
Off to bed! (I hope that I actually stay asleep this time)
No more scary movies
Sorry for the bad update these last couple of days! On Friday we had a early-out at school which means that we got out at 1:00 pm, that was super nice! So after school Tyler, Landri, Rachael and I picked up my friend Maddie and we went and ate lunch at Friday's. After that we went shopping for a couple of hours at La Cantera, we ended up splitting up so I went around with Maddie.
Then we all met up and went to the movies to see Carrie. It was pretty creepy but I could still fall asleep, which was a relief.
Saturday morning I went jogging and then I skyped with my family for a pretty long time, which was fun. They have break this week, they're lucky!
Later on in the evening Landri and I met up with my friends Delaney, Andrea, Hallie and Josh at the school auditorium. The theatre kids were having a haunted house that we went on. I think they did a really good job!
After that Andrea and I went and had a sleepover at Delaney's.
On Sunday I didn't do very much, Tyler, Landri and I watched two Paranormal Activity movies. I got so freaked out that I ended up not sleeping many hours that night...
I've decided to stay away from horror movies for a while because I don't think I handle them very well.
Today after school I had musical rehearsal for two hours and then I studied a little bit for the History test that's tomorrow.
I hope this catches you up!
Hugs
Feeling good
Yesterday I was just super happy all day! I decided I wanted to dress up a little more than I have before, so the shorts and t-shirt had to stay at home. And a lot of people actually noticed and gave me compliments which made me feel awesome haha!
My new running jacket, I love it!!
After school I had musical rehearsal which was a blast.
Today was a good day too, at lunch I was laughing so hard cause my friends were trying to speak swedish and they memorized like one word that they would use in all of their sentences. After school I went to the gym and then I tried to practice some soccer at home. Landri and I just finished watching Dear John, which is such a sad movie.
Tomorrow's a new day, so I'm going to try and get some rest.
Hugs
My new running jacket, I love it!!
The outfit I wore yesterday
Cowgirl
I've finally ordered my nike shoes that I've mentioned before. It took me a while but now I just have to wait for them! I just hope the size and everything works out.
Yesterday Delaney, Taylor and I went shopping. A new nike running jacket followed me home (I'll show it later on).
I also forgot to mention that I bought my first cowboy boots on Friday!
What do y'all think!?
Hiking + pumpkin carving
The week so far
Good afternoon!
Happy birthday!! 🎁🎉🎈🎁🎉🎈
Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I haven't been doing much out of the ordinary. Monday was Columbus day so we didn't have school. We went to the movies with Gill (the other exchange student that's in Boerne) and then Gill and I went to his school's homecoming parade.
Tuesday I had musical rehearsals for two and a half hours, so I didn't get home till late! Wednesday all the juniors were taking the PSAT's (national tests) so I hung out with Tyler instead haha.
Thursday I had musical rehearsals again and then yesterday I went to the gym after school (we had a pep rally woop woop!)
Then we went in to San Antonio and ate dinner and went to the movies. The girls and I watched Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2, it was cute!
Today I started off my day with a 5 km run and a nice long shower. It's a little chilly outside!
Today on the schedule is hiking and pumpkin carving with my Rotary counselor.
And I just want to wish my lovely sister a happy birthday! ❤️
Happy birthday!! 🎁🎉🎈🎁🎉🎈
Austin
Yesterday we took a trip to Austin. First we went to look at a house that Tyler might live in since he's going to go to school there.
After that I got to see the Capitol. The building was really pretty and if was cool to go see it, now I can check that off my list haha!
Then we went to lunch and had huge yummy donuts for dessert. I picked the one with chocolate cream, marshmallow, brownie and chocolate candy on top!
That was chocolate heaven!
We were gone for the whole day so when we got back we watched the Hobbit and then I crashed.
Today I've been feeling a bit homesick. Those periods usually come along once in a while, and I'm sure it would be strange if I didn't miss home and my family.
I tried to keep myself busy though; I went for a jog, did some reading and then my host parents and I got a spontaneous kick and went to the movies and saw Rush. It was a good movie about Formula 1 racing and is based on a true story of two of the greatest rivals the world has ever witnessed.
Now I feel like going to bed,
Goodnight
Choir concert
Good evening people!
School was fine today, I had two tests and one presentation. I think they all went pretty well. After that Tyler picked me up and drove me home. Mom and I finished watching Now You See Me, which was a great movie.
At 5 o clock I got dropped off at the high school and all the choirs started getting ready for the evening concert. We were honoring our army so we sang army songs; some songs were very touching that they almost made you cry.
My voice was a bit scratchy but other than that it was fine and it was fun! There was one time when I freaked out because in the middle of a song the girl next to me fainted and I had to try and hold her up so she didn't fall off the stand, scary! Fortunatley she could get back on after a while.
Now it's time for me to go to bed cause I'm exhausted!
I don't look very happy in those pictures but I am, promise!
Sick
Hello people!
You know how I thought I was getting a cold? Yeah, that actually happend..
I stayed home from school today to try and get my throat better. It feels a bit better now but my nose won't budge. Our choir concert is this Thursday so I'm really hoping that my voice will improve till then cause right now it does not sound good.
Landri ended up going home from school today, so we pretty much watched movies all day. I also skyped for a while with my friend Helena!!
Tomorrow I have two choir practices and then it's game on on Thursday!
Here are some random pictures from last week of a bunch of pumpkins,
Landri's cousin
Weekend
Sorry again for the bad updates!
On Friday we were almost late to 1st period since we went to Starbuck's, and that would have meant lunch detention. But we got lucky and got there just in time!
We also had a early out but I got to leave school at 11:30 because I was going to Rotary and do my presentation. I was a bit nervous but everyone thought I did great so that was fun.
After the meeting we picked up Landri and Rachael and went shopping. I bought two pair of jeans from American Eagle. Later in the evening two of my friends from school, Delaney and Maddie, came over for a sleep-over. We ate hamburgers and just hung out and talked.
When they left the next morning I skyped Veronika for a while. I really miss everyone! After that we started watching the Little Mermaid.
At 4 pm Rotary had a skeet shoot that my family and I went to. It was a bit scary shooting but it was fun at the same time and I actually hit one! Beginner's luck probably.
Landri and I went swimming in their pool and I think I might be getting a cold cause my head feels so heavy...
Today I went out for a jog and skyped with my family back home. Other than that I've just been watching the Cinderella movies and doing homework. I think I'm gonna try to get to bed early.
Have a great day!
Lots to do
I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while but I've been a bit busy. We always get out of school at four pm and on Monday I went to the gym and when I got home I was to tired to do anything and after school on Tuesday I had musical rehearsals. Today after school I went to the gym and when I got home I had to start working on my Rotary presentation that I'm giving on Friday.
The school system is a bit different from Sweden (obviously), here teacher's can just throw out "test next class!"
No studying one week ahead, right science buddies in Sweden? ;)
So I have a physics test tomorrow and apparently a math quiz.. Weehoo!
On Friday some friends from school are probably coming over and on Saturday I get to go shooting with an actual gun! Look out people!
I miss y'all back in Sweden! ❤️
