The End is Near!!!!!


A very pretty castle that made me feel like I was in a fairytale!


We got together all of our *Made in Switzerland* things and took a picture(:


My best friend I made in Switzerland a Miss Gloria Belen (Paraguay)


This is a Swiss Popstar(famous dude) Baschi


We are just a gorgeous group of ladies (me being the youngest as always)
(Paraguay, USA, Swiss[Costa Rica], Brazil)










I am FREAKING OUT!!!!

Okay, okay. I'll stop freaking out. Though in reality unless I can stay here forever with all my "peeps" I will never be happy. But life is not perfect there for I cannot stay. I will still continue to have fun for as long as I possibly can. Oh and ignore that I have less then 2 months befor I have to leave, doing this by hanging around the Latinos of my love! You may be thinking Shea what in the world are you jabering on about? Well...all my other exchange student friends are from Latin America except for 1 1/2. The reason I say 1 1/2 is because one of my friends speaks PERFECT Spanish and therfor can talk to everyone, though he does not come from a Spanish speaking country. The half is another person looks like she comes from Latin America, though in reality is from Indonesia. Though I have more exchanger friends, I'm talking about the ones I go out with (not all of them though). All my supper sexy friends. I have a problem of all my friends being drop dead gorgeous! Since we are just gorgeous young people, you may now eat your heart out.(:

Since I am always with Latinos I have learned that maybe I should have taken Spanish in school. Then I think about the funny times and decide that I was right with choosing French.

Back to what I have been doing since I last posted. I have just finished my 2 week spring break. I loved every minuet of it! Well all except the part where I took the SATs. That part sucked. I do not like taking tests for almost 4 hours after spending a year of practically taking no tests at all. Which will kill me back in the States when I have to do school work or I fail instead of the teachers just not caring.

Again back on topic. In my Spring Break I did some traveling around Switzerland. I went to Fribourg, Lausanne, Geneva, Chur, Thalwill, Montreux, and Wallis. My break was very busy and not very relaxing but that kept me from stressing over the SAT. Which is really good or I would not have been in good mental health. Though as I said I did not have time to stress. I also spent a day in a real Swiss bank! I was invited to spend the day at the bank my host dad works for. It was dandy if I do say so myself. I saw what he did and the people in the front who give you your money. Also I saw 1 kilogram of gold, that I also got to hold. It was a lot heavier than it looked. I would have never expected that. Well I knew it was 1 kg, but it was just so small that it blew my mind. Well thats what I did over spring break in the astonishing land of Switzerland!



P.S.
The Swiss people are still pretty dandy.

Deutschland Bitte














I have recently, as in February recently, visited Germany. I stayed at my "aunt" Suzy's house. She is really nice. It was fun to see her horse, though it sneezed on me...yuck! I still can't believe that a HORSE SNEEZED ON ME!! It has scared me. Though I will survive. Other than that though I did have a good time. I visited Frankfurt, Heidleburg, and Mannheim. I thought that Frankfurt was to American-e for my liking. Although I did enjoy Heidleburg very much. I also found that Germany is very Americanized, most likely from all the US Army bases.
On the ride to Germany from Switzerland I encountered drunk soccer fans at 8 on a Sunday night. I'm not quite sure how that went. It was entertaining though I LOVED understanding every single word they said. Germany would have been to easy for me. Though maybe my German would be PERFECT, but it wouldn't be as much fun. I like the challenge of Swiss German, though I hate it too. I can't keep changing the subject from drunk soccer fans to the languages of German and Swiss German. It makes me look as though I don't have my ideas straight.
Back to drunk soccer fans. They were very entertaining to watch. One of them looked like he passed out on the floor in the little walk way on the train. I couldn't help but laugh a little bit. I wouldn't ask for them to not have been on the train. It would have made the last 20 minuets very boring. Germany was fun, I would love to go back in the summer when the weather is nicer. And so were my hosts Suzy and Anke.

Are You Happy Now Mom?















Procrastinating is BAD! I have been doing it, but I have decide to stop. That is why you FINALY get a nice new blog. It will not be long but I will be writing a bunch of short blogs and having them in. This will make up for all my not done posts. Also it will finally get my mother off my back. Mothers can be such naggers (not to be confused wit the "N" word) sometimes.

I have learned that my class mates here don't procrastinate. Well okay they do a little but not like American students. We tend to be bigger procrastinators. Also my class is filled with over achievers (okay maybe not all) I feel very much like an under achiever with them since I don't always do more then I have to, unless it is on something that I enjoy then I will go well up and beyond the limits. I need to have a passion about something in something. Thats why I like it here. I have grown a passion for German. Its not the easiest language in the world. Though I like it and I like all the people I meet while I am learning this language and it gives me a passion for it.

Well enough of me blabbering on about nothing. I should do something more productive; such as telling a story, but that is for later.
