UPDATE FROM EXCHANGE STUDENT - TIM KLEINPAS

. I went for some sights with my consular to see the Hopkins River, Tower Hill and some other sights. I’ve seen some kangaroos, emus and one koala at Tower Hill. In the second week after my arrival I joined the Aussie rules football team Merrivale. The team is very nice and makes me feel welcome, but I’m not allowed to compete in matches yet, because they are in the Finals, so I just train with them. One week later I joined the soccer team Warrnambool Rangers, where a friend from the school plays. I am also not allowed to compete in matches there, because they also are in the finals. I always train with my soccer team on Tuesday nights and Thursday with my Aussie rules team. In school I chose the subjects AFL academy, Photography, Outdoor Ed, Maths, English, Religion and Science. These subjects are very good especially AFL makes much fun. We just went to Melbourne with our school “footy” team and I was on the bench if someone gets hurt and earned a medal for second best school team in Victoria. I also went fishing twice, once with a friend of my dad and once with my dad. I poorly didn't catch big enough fish, so that I had to throw back all my fish. I attend every Wednesday the Rotary meeting of my host Rotary club. At the meeting we are eating lunch and some projects are presented and you can talk to members and make friends. I have reported to my sponsor club this month. In school I wrote 3 tests, one in maths, one in English, where I don't think that it would be good,because it was about a book that I haven't read and it was a task I have never done before, and in Science. I didn't have any difficulties yet and hope there wont come to much.
