Random update

Recently, a lot of interesting things have happened. And I'd like to tell short, random stories that aren't related to each other...

First off, I got lost because I took what I thought was the right bus, but it was going the wrong way. I ended up way out of the way, and had no idea where I was. Luckily, there was a shop that a little old lady was working in. I called my mom, explained what happened and asked the lady to tell my mom where I was at. About 30 minutes later my mom and aunt came to get me, and I was very relieved.

Prom is right around the corner, so for the past few weeks I've been looking for a dress and finally found one last weekend. It's pink, long, and sparkly, and I'm probably going to wear it next year too. Now I just need shoes and earrings.

It's starting to be summer here, but the weirdest thing is happening. Instead of getting warm and dry (like it usually is) it's starting to rain, and get colder. Now, if you ask me, that's not summer at all. But I very much like this "rain" that they are having now. All I want to do is just stand out in it, regardless of if I get a cold or not.

With school almost out, I get to think about if I want to go back to La Salle, or try to find a university that I want to go to. Another exchange student is going to go study Portuguese, and I might go with him. Why not learn as much as you can?

My sister and brother are leaving for the US tomorrow, so I guess I'll be an only child again for a while. Not sure if I'll be changing host families or not. I hope not, because I love my family here, and also feel like it would be better if my mom had someone at the house.

The last full day of school was today. It was a sad day for everyone, even me. I love my class at La Salle, and don't want to go back next year because it wouldn't be the same. It really felt like I couldn't have been with a better class. I'm really going to miss them all.

I had a feeling lately that I couldn't quite describe. I tried describing it as "this won't last forever" and "this isn't a dream" to a past exchange student. Luckily, he understood what I was trying to say. We decided that that was the moment that I realized what living in the moment was. When that happened, I was just at home with some other exchange students watching movies. It didn't make too much sense at first, because we weren't doing much. But he said that moments like those are when that happens. "You realize to love the little things just the same as the big" He said.
I love realizing things like that. Although it can be very stressful, it's a great life changing thing that I don't think I would experience if I were anywhere else.



So, there's my update for now. I'll probably do another one around Christmas or New Years. (:
