Post Title

WRITTEN AUGUST 8. THE POST AFTER THIS ONE IS THE ONE FOR AUGUST 10.
No I did not forget to put a title in, it's just that nothing happened today so it doesn't deserve a title. We went to the market this morning to get some vegetables. I got some Oranges which I love. They taste great. You know how Oranges are sometimes a  hit or a miss, you could either get a bad one that is hard and just tastes like frost or you can get a good one and it tastes like frost? Well these ones taste amazing. If you ever get a chance to go to Italy or Spain I recommend you try the Oranges -- you will not be disappointed. Anyways, the only really exciting thing that happened today was that my two counselors came over and talked with me for a bit. It was nice to meet them. One of them has invited me to go to the a street festival of art tomorrow in Bern. I was supposed to go tonight and meet up with Joanna (my host sister) and her friend but I don't really want to go. I don't have any energy anymore. We biked to the market and it wasn't long but it was up hill and I had my gear on the hardest setting. It took me a while to figure that one out. Then Edna (my other host sister who is two years than Joanna and a year older than me) wanted to go more downtown and I got a flat tire so I had to bike with that and I had no idea. I was a little tired when we got back home. But Edna showed me the town's swimming pool which I would like to use. It's 8:22 PM here and 2:22 PM in Canada (I can tell because my laptop still thinks I'm in Canada which is fine. Tomorrow I'm supposed to go with Edna to a river and go swimming with her friends but I'm not sure how that's going to go. But I do want to go to the art festival with my counselor tomorrow. That's it. Au Revoir! Here is a nice picture I took of Bern.

"Wild Horses (feat. Florence Welch)"

I know I haven't posted in a while but things have been very busy on my end. So this past weekend I went to... Fiesche. I think that's it...it's somewhere in the Alpes, for a Rotary meeting with all the other exchange students in Switzerland. There were over 60 of us in this "Sports Resort." I met up with my friend Kaylee from Canada who is from my district in Canada (I knew her before I left for Switzerland) and my other two friends from my language course Sophie (USA) and Rachel (London, Ontario) and our other friend Kat (USA) and Otilia who is from Romania. I look a train in with Sophie and it was so pretty! When we got to the train station before this photo we found a whole group of other exchange students so we tagged a long with them. I'm pretty sure they were a main group from Zurich. We got off at the wrong station and had to walk a bit to get to the "resort" which was fine. We were the only ones we knew there so we talked to some other ...

Update*

I think I'm gonna stop with the song names as titles. I'll figure something else out. So I realized I haven't updated this blog in about a month so here is a quick update. Not much has been happening. 2 weeks ago I was in Zermatt for a Rotary weekend and I started a post about that but I haven't finished it. Hopefully I will get that done soon. Things are beginning to feel like Christmas - although it doesn't look like it. There is no snow here. The closest thing we had to snow was last month, there was about a little puddle of a dusting of snow. But it is cold here. I feel ashamed to say this but it was about -2 degrees and I was dying. It's more of a wet cold here so it feels a lot colder. It's like Nov3meber always. You know how November feels colder than any of the other months just because it's a wet cold... When it's minus ten or twenty it's fine and we can live with it because its dry.       This Thursday I went to a dinner with my coun...

My Week in Frankfurt

On Monday we (my class from the high school) took three trains. We left Burgdorf at 8:53 AM and then spent ~30 minutes on the first two trains then 3 hours on the last. I talked to Fabienne, Elena, and Viola who was sitting with me and then I slept because I was tired. We went to our rooms which they say is a hostel, but I’m not sure. Then we went on a bus tour of Frankfurt and it was 3 hours of a guy with a weird hair cut speaking very fast german that I couldn’t understand. And apparently it wasn’t just me it, the other kids in my class couldn’t understand some things he was saying. We went to this tower and then walked around the old city for a while; it was called Main Tower or something. We then had dinner at this restaurant that was old looking but surrounded by new buildings. After we then had free time and I hung out with some other people and they were really nice. We just walked around and went over the bridges. We got back at around 10. I went to bed at 10:30 and then my r...
