Health Report: All is very well thus far! What more can I say? :D
School Report: The school had today resumed after a week holiday, Sportferien. I must say that the
breaks every two months make it easier to focus in school. They also gave me more
time to explore some new places.
Rotary Attendance Report: I have not been able to reach the meetings for a couple but my councillor understands
that the bus up or down the mountain almost seem non-exsistant at times. However
when I change families in April then the meetings will be closer and I can then make up
my missed time! :P With ROTEX we had a "seasonal meeting" in Engleberg and it was
quite something to see the Newbies, most of whom do not have snow, see snow for the
first time. It made me feel like a child playing in the snow for hours with friends!
Other Activities Report: The month was quite an adventure. Well, it began with skiing which has become quite a
normal weekend tradition for me. I was alos able to have dinner with my first and third
host families one afternoon and it was nice to see them again. Now that I realize it, this
month would have been the most difficult for my mother as it is my sister's birthday and
my birthday only five days apart. However we made it through! For my birthday we had
all my host families come over and my older host sister made a wonderful cake! I also
have a large collection of Nutella! When we had our Sportferien holiday I had planned
for many trips to cities around Switzerland. I was to hang out with my best-friends but
they all took vacations to France and Albania. I never thought I would have a problem
such as this but I did and so with a very random group of exchange students we made it
to Geneva and Lucerne. One day after another! It Geneva is was all blue sky and +20C
and I could not have been happier! In Geneva we were able to make a tour of the
United Nations offices and which I had learned so much and was very impressed! So far
the offices are one of my most favourite places I have visited. Lucerne was also
wonderful both in weather and cityscape. We eventually ended up on a boat to a town
known as Weggis (pronounced: Vegas) to a train to take us up the Rigi mountain where
the veiw was breathtaking! As the travelling became triring, I decided to instead go
skiing for the next couple of days and on the weekend I went to Carnaval with some
friends from the school and had a wonderful time! I am currently planning on travelling
to Milan, Stresa, Lugano, the Callier Chocolate Factory among many others. The next
few months will be filled with travelling and school. More than I could have ever
dreamed of!
