Rodeo in San Antonio
This weekend me and some of the other exchange students went to the Rodeo in San Antonio. We all met in New Braunfels at 10 in the morning and then we all went in to San Antonio together. We walked around the fair grounds, eating, taking pictures and watching different things that were going on. We saw a show called the docshow where dogs jumped off a dock into a pool. The dog that jumped the farthest won. It was actually pretty cool to see how for a few of them could jump!
The actual Rodeo started at 7 so around that time we headed for the AT&T center. There was bull riding, rodeo, steer wrestling, barrel racing, etc. It's amazing how some of them can stay on for so long! They look like rag-dolls flopping around like that. But it's entertaining to watch! And Saturday's country singer was Montgomery Gentry. He was good but I was so tired by then I kept dozing off.
When we got back to New Braunfels at 12 am we all ate more food and stayed up playing ping pong and twister till 5 am. I was so tired when I woke up at 10 to eat breakfast and then head back home. But hey I made it through the rest of the day hanging out with Brayden, Brandon and Wade! I also saw the finals in hockey. Wish Sweden would've won..
Good night!
Swedish Pancakes
Hello lovelies!
This week is going by so quickly! We lost our game on Monday pretty badly.. Luckily I got to eat Swedish pancakes afterwards for the first time in forever! Gosh I was in heaven, I didn't even realize how much I missed them.
Today I got to do an oil change on the car with my host dad. It was actually pretty cool to learn that!
I hope you're proud dad!!
Mega Update
I'm sorry that my updating has been down these last couple of days. Whenever I said I would throw in an update something else came up.
I guess I've been procrastinating it a bit, sorry y'all 😁
So last weekend I went to a camp called RYLA which means Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. At first I did not want to go at all cause I didn't know anything about it and thought it'd be boring.
But then when we actually got there I had sooooo much fun! It was literally like one of the best weekends ever!
The energy and atmosphere was super, everyone was just so energetic and positive! Basically what happened was we got split into different teams (I ended up in Team
Violet) and we did different activities. We did not only stay in our teams though. We were not only exchange students, mostly it was regular American high school students. We were about 140 people and 10 were exchange students. It's so hard to explain everything we did there cause we literally had activities from early morning to late evening. It was a blast though and very memorable in my year here!
After that weekend my body was just so down that I picked up a really awful cold; fever, congestion, coughing, nausea and headaches. Gah that was not fun. I stayed home Tuesday, Wednesday and half of Thursday so I'm a little behind in school but oh well. I also missed our choir concert.. But I understood I couldn't sing because my voice was so bad!
On Friday it was Valentine's day and we had a half day at school which was nice! I went to Brandon's house after school and we played some basketball and watched the Olympics. At four Allie's mom picked me up and we went to Allie's soccer game. After the game (which they won), we went out to dinner with Ashlynn and then Allie, Ashlynn and I went to see Endless Love. I though it was pretty good, a typical love story.
Yesterday Delaney needed new work out clothes so I went with her. I bought a new pair of neon yellow nike shorts and a pair of nike pros. Then we went home and changed and headed over to Darian's were we took a walk with his dogs in town. It was sooo nice weather out!!
After that I just chilled and then later in the evening Allie came over.
Today I went to church in the morning and then I talked to my lovely friend Ebba on skype! It was really nice to talk to her since I haven't in so long. After that I went and laid in one of the hammocks for a while, it was shorts weather wooohoo! When Delaney got back from baby sitting Darian and Wade came soon after and we went for a ride in the Polaris. Then we tried to build a jump for the go cart. It sort of worked.. But then the go cart broke...
Now I'm exhausted! It's go go go all the time, which is fun.
Tomorrow is our first home game in soccer so I'm really pumped for it! Wish me luck! 💪
What my host parents got me! Love
Hopefully I will get more pictures from the RYLA weekend!!
Love to you all 💕
Pour Me a Heavy Dose of Atmosphere
(THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO POST A WEEK AGO!!!) I've been keeping very busy these last couple of days. On Tuesday last week I was exhausted after the weekend's fun up in Tulsa so I decided to stay home from school and catch up on my sleep. That was very much needed!
Wednesday we had a soccer game which we won with 2-0. Then Friday Delaney and I decided to go out and eat chinese after school. Outside the chinese restuarant we met Matt, Stone, BH and Bryce so we ended up all eating together. The food was yummy and the company great, so it was a good dinner!
Later that night we went with Wade, Taylor, Devin and Andrea and saw That Awkward Moment.
Saturday I had to get up at 6 am to go to a soccer game. Allie came and picked me up at 7 am and we went to the high school where the bus was waiting. We ended up losing with 3-0 but varsity won. We'll do better next time!
Saturday night Maren, Delaney, Brayden, Darian and I went to Random (a place to hang out). There Darian and Brayden found an abandoned baby deer, which they ended up taking home. But I went home before that because I was tired. Sadly they ended up giving it away so it could be taken care of by someone with experience.
Sunday was church in the morning, then I worked out and after that we went over to one of the Hartson's friend's house and watched the Super Bowl. The Broncos lost so badly so it wasn't a very exciting game.
Today's a new week with new experiences!
