And now, I&#8217;m so excited about basketball season. I just have to make sure that I make the team!<\/p>\n<p>Went up six am. Saturday morning to go to Rolla with 30 other exchange students.<br \/>\nWe walked in a parade with people from all over the world and everywhere you look were different flags.<br \/>\nWe had students from Japan, Vietnam, Brazil, Germany, Chile, Norway, Sweden(!), Pakistan, Korea, Lebanon etc.<br \/>\nSo I learned a lot and we had a lot to talk about, which was actually really fun.<br \/>\nCultural differences, languages.<br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t know what to expect from this trip but I enjoyed it a lot.<\/p>\n<p>At the parade thing, every country had their own tent so it was like a market and we had our own where we talked about exchange students and tried to tell people that they should consider hosting one.<br \/>\nI started to talk to this woman that has a son that wants to go to Japan, and she was so much calmer when she left.<br \/>\nSince I couldn&#8217;t stop talking about how lucky I am to have so many friends here, being involved in a lot of different stuff here and just having the time of my life, experiencing things that some people never get the chance to.<\/p>\n<p>After that, we went to our hotel and then we went to a huge house where we went rollerskating, lazer tagging, lazer mazing and just laughing and hanging out. It was weird that most of the other were about 15-16 and for those of you that don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;m 18. But I mostly hung out with Markus from Sweden, Valentin, and Andre from Germany that night. I usually end up with hanging with the guys in those situations &#8217;cause they&#8217;re just crazy, haha!<\/p>\n<p>Sunday, we went to a fishing place, I think that that was one of the most beautiful places I&#8217;ve ever visited. Awesome surroundings!<br \/>\nI&#8217;m gonna post pictures later, I don&#8217;t have the time right now.<br \/>\nAfter that, we went zip lining, climbing and jumping. That was also a lot of fun so we did a lot and enjoyed each others company.<\/p>\n<p>I hung out a lot with a girl from Norway too and it&#8217;s weird how different your experience can be here depending on your host-family. But we are both enjoying our life here and that&#8217;s the most important thing so..<\/p>\n<p>The time is 7.20 am. and my ride to school is coming in 10 min.<br \/>\nWe have an away game today so after school, I&#8217;m going home to spend time on the treadmill.<br \/>\nWill write more later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday night was the football game and after that, I hung out with some of the basketball girls that seems like a group of awesome girls as well.
