So on Wednesday, the German students arrived! I really liked 2nd period that day, giving them a tour around the school and then just talking to them afterwards. It was just nice. On Friday, I went over to Melissa’s house for pizza and movie with her, Kevin, and Yolanta’s students. Watched Transformers and most of them started falling asleep; so amusing, haha.

On Saturday, I went to the Huntington Library with Yolanta, Zsofi, and Vanessa. We did 4 hours of walking and I took quite a bit of pictures, mostly of flowers. That day was the day I discovered the macro setting on my camera! So the second half of my pictures were really nice quality thanks to that setting. :) Anyway, afterward I went over to Yolanta’s house to swim. Melissa and Johanna ended up coming over. It was way too cold to swim though, so we were in the jacuzzi most of the time, just talking and whatnot. Then we had sushi for dinner, strawberries afterward, and finally rootbeer floats! :D Obviously, it was fun.

Now I’m home, sitting in front of the computer, feeling slightly overwhelmed over what seems to be nothing. I’m not interested in people randomly coming back into my life when they haven’t done anything productive for me all this time. I hate it. And to think things were going so well, I’m actually just back to where I’ve started. It really just sucks. Hopefully these next few weeks will keep me occupied so I won’t feel it at all.

Finals

Finals are finally over! It’s such a relief. I didn’t think it was that bad, but I could have done so much better if I actually tried harder than I did. I’m a bit disappointed that I probably lost my A in calculus and US history. I think this is a wake up call. I need to stop making up excuses for slacking off. I just don’t think I can always feel sorry for myself about the things that aren’t going right.

So on the day of the German final, Mrs. Sheehan brought the two German exchange students she was hosting into our class! It was so cool, they were both boys and they happened to be twins! Their shyness was absolutely adorable. It was the kind of adorable that made you want to tuck them into your pocket and take them home kind of adorable. :) I was really excited to see them, but having them watch our dialogue was nerve-wrecking! I wish we had more time at the end to talk to them though, it would have been amazing. Now I can’t wait until our German students come in March!! I wish I could’ve done the exchange program too, but too bad that I’m going to China in the summer instead.
