I should probably first introduce everyone...
Solveig (host mom), René (host dad), Madelaine (host sister, 22), Laura (host sister, 16), Stefan (not technically part of the genetic family, but as Madelaine's boyfriend, he is also always around), and of course, Salem (the cat).
We first went to the wrong house, but once we found the right one, I immedietly felt welcome. It was a little rushed at first because I had to go to Theater practice within 30 minutes, so my new family, the Witschofskys offered to drop me off and pick me up, they were going shopping anyways.
After Theater practice, which is pretty fun, they picked me up and we went home, I unpacked a bit, then we went to IKEA!
That evening we ate a dinner at the resturaunt Hanny's with the whole family, aunts uncles, and even grandparents! Laura and I both ordered a double cheese burger. It was so Lecker (yummy)!
We went home with all full bellies and smiles. It was really nice.
The next morning I accidently woke up early and I didn't know what to do. Do I get up and just go downstairs? Do I wait in bed until someone gets me? I had no idea, so I waited, and soon enough Laura woke up and knocked on my door. I was up in a jiffy.
That day I went with Laura to her golf training. It was cold and wet and cold and wet, but trotzdem (none the less) fun.
When René und Solwieg came to pick us up they brought another pair of socks and shoes for me to wear because my feet were soaked. They bought me a hat in the little shop there, and now Laura and I have matching 'Arosa' hats; we are Doppelgängers!
After school on Monday I met Laura at her school (by bike, because we are really close) and I got to look at her school and meet all her friends! It's great there! Solwieg mentioned that maybe I should switch to that school if it was possible. I like the idea, but it is also scary. New people all over again, and I was just making friends. I am was actually invited to 2 school-friend's birthday parties this weekend, but I don't know if I will go because I just don't know how to ask to leave so often, I don't like having to choose! I really enjoy family time with here.

Yesterday I went with my host parents to the place to get where I live legal with the police, and to fix my bank card. Turns out they lost my card or account or something somehow, but we got a new one, no problem. They lady at the counter even gave me chocolate and a calender. It was pretty nice.
Today, Wednesday, I had only 2 classes: the 4-5. Rene drove me to school just in time for my 11 o'clock class, and I took the bus home after. In school today I wrote a poem. Here...
Kälte, Ende der Träume, Tau
Leben erfachtet,
Nebel, müde, blau,
die Dunkelheit verschwindet,
viele Möglichkeit,
das ist die Zwischenzeit.
It was supposed to be about Zwischenzeit, or, the time between night and day. I read it to the class and I thought it went well. I accidently wrote Nabel instead of Nebel the first time, but then my teacher told me Nabel is bellybutton, while Nebel is fog or mist.
After school today I got home early, took a jog, showered, and made cookies. Laura, Stefan, Madelaine, Johannes, and I all sat around the kitchen for 2 hours eating cookies and talking.
Then later Laura's friend Anna came over and I helped them tone their hair. It was fun.
The rest of the evening was just relaxing and watching a movie.
Now I'm going to bed, that's enough thinking for today!
I really hope I don't have homework!
Goodnight!
