SCHOOL!!! and 1 MONTH!!!

Hey Everyone!!

So i have been here for one month already!! I cant believe it!! Time has already gone by so fast, i cant even imagine what the rest of the year will be like!! WOW!! Here's a brief update of the last week:




Friday August 31
This was the last day of language camp! whooo!! We had our big test on Thursday, so all we did on friday was eat food we brought and get our test back. I got a 171 and half out of 200. I was really happy bc i think i had the third or fourth best test in the class! and there are like 8 people in my class! Well we got let out early, so we went on an adventure to Mt. Gurten which is amazing! Nathasha and I were the only ones that had been there before so it was lots of fun for the other exchanges. Plus it was a beautiful day to be up on Gurten. I have some cool pics.

Saturday September 1
A bunch of exchange students from Luzern came to Bern. All the exchange students that went to the Bern Language camp showed the Luzerners around Bern. We walked around Bern, went to the Bear Pits and then to Mt. Gurten. It was lots of fun to show people around. I was really happpy that I actually knew where I was going for once since ive been here.

Sunday September 2
My host dad and Dora(a family friend) took me on a walk through the hills of the emmental. It was GORGEOUS! We were gonna go to the mountains but it was too cloudy. We wouldnt have been able to see anything so we just walked through the emmental. Well to get back to the car, we were gonna take the train, but we would have to wait like an hour and the car wasnt very far away so my host dad hitch hiked to get the car and then came back with the car to pick Dora and me up. It was interesting! haha
