Happy Thanksgiving to everybody, who reads this while it is still Thursday, November, 22. I´m sitting in the couch after a awesome day with the Playford family in the little town of Merrill, Mi. The food was incredible and kind of overwhelming. So many different to try and almost not enough space in the stomach. This week was really unusual for me. We had a different schedule in school, because it was the end of the trimester. First day was review first hour, exam first hour, review second hour, exam second hour, review third hour and the first day of the week was over. The second day was filled with the exams and reviews for third through fifth hour. It went pretty good in all the exams, but the final scores are not public yet. As well the swimming season started this week. The tryouts were monday-wednesday and the final decisions about the team are on monday. The tryouts were hard and really tiring. The schedule is tough and missing practices unexcused will result in get kicked off the team with the second violation. We have two personal off days, though. These are like excuses for absence. Tomorrow is „Black Friday“. It is an insane shopping day with sales and big discounts everywhere. Everybody tries to save as much money as possible and some go shopping from tonight 12 am or meet at 3:30 to go shopping. Another thing, that just started is Christmas season. Trees are selled and the streets start getting decorated.
Congratulations for making it into the school team!
Yes why did you don´t say that you are in the school team?!! 🙂
