Life is good... :)

So this past week has been a great week. I cant really describe why it has been a great week. it just has!!! its one of those things exchangers can understand but not many other people can. haha but ill fill you in on what happened this week:

Sunday 11/4/07
Went hiking in the mountains with my host parents and 2nd host mom and another vet from the practice.

Monday/Tuesday
More or less normal days at school. not much happened or at least anything exciting. Oh wait, monday had a math test! ugh!! horrible!! i have hard time in math in english so its really hard in german. haha oh an i also joined a basketball club and we had practice monday. it was really fun. we did lots of shooting drills and then played 3 v 3. differnt from american basketball but fun!! the other exchange student in my town came too. oh and my biology teacher is PREGNANT! whoo!! she is soo cute!!!! i really like her!!! tuesday we didnt have german or history so i got like 3 hours extra sleep which i needed bc i was starting to feel sick.

Wednesday
THE BEST DAYY EVER!!!! its really hard for me to describe why this day was so great but it jsut was!! haha my friend deborah came back to school finally after being sick and i was really glad for that bc she is one of the nicest girls in my class. she is also christian which is very refreshing!!! and i had some one on one talk time with her which was great!!! i also had the rotary dinner. once a month they club has a meeting with the women and the men. in switzerland, only men can be rotarians, at least in my sponsor club. anyways, the speaker was really good. and he spoke in high german so i was able to pick up on a little bit of the presentation and he also had a powerpoint. he was a doctor in the solomon islands for several years. it was amazing to see some of his work. i wish i would've talked to him more though. but he inspired me to use my skills as a doctor, (when i become one) aboard, helping less fortunate countries. some of things he did for those people were amazing!!

so that really doesnt describe the true feeling of the day but shows a little bit why it was a good day!! haha
