When reading whuffle's notes, one could get the impression that it appears to be all about eating and partying; however, it's just the American way of life.

'm sorry folks but this here doesn't fit very well with the other stuff I wrote; however, I just got to tell you about my week. It was the coolest week ever! On Sunday we (i.e. my host parents, my host sister and I) went to the famous air force museum in Dayton, Ohio and spend 4h walking around and staring at airplanes there.
Wow - impressive, well, not for me but we all were in a great mood and went to Panera Bread for lunch. Panera Bread is a wonderful restaurant, where they got real sour dough bread and great pumpkin muffins. For supper we went to my favorite restaurant the Golden Corral where you pay 10 dollars and then you got an fantastic buffet. You can get pretty much everything there starting with salad and soup, continuing over steak and every other well cooked dead animal and ending up desserts including brownies, chocolate cake, apple pie, blue berry pie, sprinkles, ice cream and syrup. Since it's "all you can eat" the people in there are more then heavy and way less then good looking. Anyway, I love this place. Then the week started.
Team International
On Monday the seniors had their "senior skip day;" therefore, just me and a few other loser stayed in class. Since I am an exchange student, I have to attend school. But of course we did nothing and just talked and walked around. On Tuesday, I won a bet and received one dollar for being smart and just amazing ... hehe. I also got my third graduation invitation and an invitation to a birthday party next weekend. I'm amazed how many people actually like me. As a surprise, the seniors and juniors gave a free lunch for us four exchange girls. This lunch included tons of good cheese crust pizza, a huge, extraordinarily good cake and pop. We all sat outside in the Courtyard and dinned in the sunshine. Since we were eating in sixth period, we had time to play kickball and basketball during the lunch break. Just me and a few other loser stayed in classUnfortunately, they told me already in first period what would happen later, so there wasn't really any surprise. However, I still enjoyed it very much. I also had my very last practice in Track in the afternoon which was nice as well. From there I got a ride home by a girl who is almost two years younger then me. She already got her own car, and is now allowed to drive since a few weeks ago. It was kind of embarrassing for me, since I'm almost eighteen years old and nowhere close to being allowed to drive at all. In the evening, we also had our band concert, where we played in front of the school, nicely dressed up and already pissed because nobody likes our band director. But I looked neat, so it wasn't all a waste of time.
Delicious Cheese Crust. The pizza is good too.
On Wednesday we had the ultimate thing going on. All students, who got all A's this quarter were taken out for free lunch. Before we left, a teacher gave me two cookies because I complained the other day about the lack of cookies. I was a very happy little camper at that point. At eleven o'clock a group of about 38 students (including me, the Italian girl and the Brazilian) got to go to "CJ's". There, we ordered three appetizers for our table (i.e. loaded fries, bloomed onion and mozzarella sticks) and also got a real meal and one dessert each. We stretched our lunch break from originally 30 minutes to almost three hours! And it was good!! I got salmon in dill sauce with broccoli. We stretched our lunch break to three hours - and it was good!Since I hadn't had salmon for a long time, it was just delicious. After that, I ordered Apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. Full and very very happy we returned to school at almost two o'clock. There we just changed into our track uniforms and headed to our last meet. Before I got on the bus, however, I got another cookie from the same teacher ... hehe ... whuffle LOVES cookies ...
Allowed to drive but not to drink. :p
Since usually the track team goes out to eat after the track season and we didn't have time for that, our coach just gave us each $4 to spend on food. I haven't told you yet, but in spring I joined "track". It's all the stuff we do in Physical Education in school back in Germany. I.e. long jump, high jump, 100m dash, relay (4 times 800m), one and two mile runs, shot, disc and hurdles.
Today is Wednesday; therefore, right now I'm still full of lunch and I still own three dollars. And I am done with track. No practice and no meetings anymore.
Tomorrow we will have a pizza party, all Track and Cross Country runner together. My host mom promised me to take me to a cool store with nifty clothes on Friday. Even my weekend is scheduled already. On Saturday we are supposedly going to an Aquarium in Kentucky and in the evening there is still the birthday party, which I'm really looking forward to going to.
Wow, that's my kind of a week!!
Greetings and best of fun to you.
Magi is 17 years old and lives in Bradford in the US state of Ohio since summer last year (yes, this high school exchange student thing). On WOOLING.NET she tells you about the daily routine over there. Have a look on what she already published.
