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! ❤️
Purple-Out Friday

Yesterday the theme at school was purple-out Friday and I went all in! I sprayed my hair purple, wore a purple hat, wore a purple shirt, had purple socks and wrote BHS 13' on my cheeks.
It was lots of fun to see all the purple! I love it how the US have so much school spirit. It was also homecoming and for that day most girls in Texas state wear mums (the ribbon thing) so I wore two. I love how they're all sparkly!
Homecoming is basically a football game but they have a court (representatives from different grades). The Senior ones get crowned King and Queen, Princess and Prince. But the other grade representatives don't really get a title.
Since I was in choir I got to sing the national anthem at the game so that was pretty cool.
We won our game which was fun! After that Maddie, Kate and I met up with Delaney, Maren, Taylor and her boyfriend at Dennys and ate. I had such a good time!
Today when I got up I went for a jog before breakfast. After that I cleaned my room and then Josh (one of my counselors from Rotary) and Nick took me out to lunch. We started off going to Fredricksburg but the place was closed so we had to go back haha! But it was fun!
I haven't done much other than that today, but it's nice when you can relax for a bit.
Elderly Day Wednesday

Yesterday everyone dressed up as elderly! So I tried to be a little grandma with slippers, a cane, pantyhose, glasses and gray hair. Some people did a really good job!
Today it was the high school parade with a pep rally, it was really funny cause they had a dance battle. There were two guys that dressed up as nerds and danced to the song white and nerdy, hilarious!!
Tomorrow's homecoming, so I'm gonna wear my mum (a sort of ribbon). It's also purple-out and choir is singing the national anthem at the homecoming game! I sure don't wanna stand close to the microphone haha!
Goodnight!!
Prep vs. Nerd Tuesday

Today we could either dress up as a prep or a nerd and y'all could probably guess what I chose! ....
nerd!!After school I had musical rehearsals and then we drove to the bank were Tyler was shooting a short movie! It was funny cause the movie is about a bank robbery and someone actually called the police cause they thought it was real, haha!
At 7:30 Landri and I went to the Burning of the B, which is a pep rally. I met some new people so that was fun!
Have a nice day y'all!

The Baylor game yesterday was cool! There were lots of people there and the weather was perfect; no rain and it wasn't a hundred degrees!
The first two quarters were exciting but after that we we're in the lead with quite a few points. We won with 70-7, good game!
On the car ride there and back I kept dozing off. I probably wasn't very fun company, sorry Tyler haha!
This week is going to be very exciting because it's spirit week and homecoming! We have different outfit themes every day!
I'll try to update as much as I can!
Good night!

Good morning everyone!
Hope y'all slept well, cause I sure did! Yesterday was a pretty good school day but it was raining all day so we couldn't sit outside for lunch. They seriously need to get some more tables for inside the cafeteria cause it was crooowded..
After school we hung out at home for a while and then my family dropped me off at Delaney's house. Maddie and Andrea arrived a bit late haha! I had so much fun there! We ate pizza and talked a lot. Delaney's brother's friend was sleeping over so he needed to get clothes, so we all went with him in his golf cart. It felt like a rollercoaster cause we all went up and down and it felt like we were moving fast.
The guys also scared us with fire crackers haha, Maddie almost got a mini heartattack!
After a few hours my parents picked me up and we went home. We started watching Red Dawn but I was so tired so I went to bed.
I set the alarm at 7:15 and went for a walk, I was really surprised cause it was quite chilly outside!
Today Tyler (brother), Steve (uncle) and I are going to the Baylor football game in Waco! It takes about 3 hours to get there. We're leaving in five minutes so I'll update y'all later!

School's been moving along as usual. I've had a musical rehearsal, some quizzes and we all got our progress report, and I'm doing pretty good. So it's all great!
I'm trying to customize my own nike shoes but there's just so many colors to choose from!
What do you guys think?!
(The pink/neon ones are my favorite for the moment)
Rotary Orientation

This weekend I've been at the Rotary Orientation in New Braunfels. We got there at 6 pm on Friday and met the other exchange students that are in our district or close to. The first night we ate dinner, got some information about the weekend and got to know everyone.
It was fun to know where everybody was from and all that. No people from Sweden but there was a girl from Norway and a guy from Denmark. Go Scandinivia!
Saturday I was on breakfast duty, all I had to do was flip pancakes, a very exciting job haha! ;) After that we went toobing in the river. It was really nice at first but it took us two hours to finish so my throat is starting to get really dry, buhuu! And I made chorus in the musical so good luck with singing :(
After toobing we got lots and lots of information and then in the evening they put on some music and we all danced/fooled around. Today we handed out pins, took pictures and then my host dad picked me up and we went to church and I met his side of the family.
Later when we got home I was so tired because of the late nights and early mornings that I fell asleep when we were watching a movie. Tomorrow's a new school day and I'm just gonna chill out till I'm going to bed.

High School Musical

So these past two days I have stayed after school till seven.. Wanna know why?! I found out yesterday that there were try-outs for the school musical! And I thought: hey, I should try!
Umm yeah, and I didn't even know what song I was gonna sing.
I was so nervous when I got up on stage 'cause everybody that was trying out were watching.
I think it went pretty okay.. We had try-outs today as well, but today we had to sing a song from the play and read parts of the script.
I wasn't that good today and there are a lot of people in there that are really amazing! Lots of competition.
We find out if we make it on Friday, and hey I'm fine with just playing a tree (I'd rather not though haha)!
And if I don't make it, at least I tried!!!
The musical is Into the Woods. :)
Goodnight!!

This morning we went to church and when we got home we ate some of the left over pizza.
After that we went to see Mortal Instruments. I think that was a pretty good movie!
Tomorrow's another school day, and I need to go in a bit earlier since I have some questions about my math homework, waah.. :(
I also have a Physics quiz tomorrow, what a good way to start the week right?!
Look at Rachael's puppy!! It's soo cute!!

We went to dinner at Big Lou's. And seriously that was the biggest pizza I have ever seen!!! It was 42 inches!!! That's crazy!! And it wasn't just huge it was sooo good!
I was pretty full after that...
Today I'm going to the bank to fix some things and then we're probably watching the One Direction movie (again!!)
Have a good one!

This morning I got up to run but I was sooo tired so I had to force myself haha! But I only ran 2 km since it started to rain. School was good today. I actually got a love letter haha! Wasn't expecting that.. And we had a sub in drawing so we goofed off a bit.
After school Landri and I went to the Mathnasium to work on our math homework. Then we met up with the family and ate dinner.
I have a history test on Friday, oh no...
Love the yellow shoes!! I. Want. Them!!!

The One direction movie was awesome! I smiled the whole time, they were so cute! I recommend it if you like 1D!
Yesterday I was at my first football game! They started out really good but we ended up losing. But I have faith in them! I was so tired last night so when I got home I fell asleep in like 3 seconds. It's been a long week but it's been fun. I've made a lot of new friends and I met a girl that's also new but she's from North Carolina.
I got up this morning at 7:15 to run. It was already hot at that time..
Now we're off to a parade!! Woo!

This morning started off with US History. We had to answer if we thought the Declaration of Independance was important and why. And I was like: don't ask me, don't ask me, haha!!
And then I had German, which was not very fun 'cause our teacher talks aaaall the time about stuff that aren't even important.
In Drawing we got to draw hands which I'm not the best at but I tried!
Tomorrow we're going to watch the One direction movie!!! I am sooo excited!!
I'm also gonna try jogging before school, um yeah.. Good luck haha!
I miss my pony!!!!
