Sleep over!

Last week  it was parent/teacher conference in school. Penny, Bob and I went there. It was a little embarrassing sometimes because the teachers thought it was funny to embarrass me :P I have good grades though and the teachers say I'm good so that feels nice :) 
I'm in the A Honor Roll which is a good thing apperently. My GPA is 3.723 of 4.0 which is good too. 
Last Friday Penny and I went to Fond du Lac. We went to a Christmas store. Americans are crazy. It was a whole two floor store open all year around. They had so much stuff. 


Last week it was cold and it was snowing :O
Last Friday I also did rice with appels in the oven which is a Polish dish. Bob and Penny really enjoyed it!
Last week I also bought an Iphone case and some Monster University PJ pants :)
On Saturday I went shopping with Heather, Karissa and Veera. It was a lot of fun. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings where the food was okay and then we also went to Starbucks :) At Starbucks we drank some hot Christmas drinks. They were so good!
After that we went to Piggly Wiggly and bought some ingrediences. Veera and I was going to make some Polish/Swedish/Finnish food for Heather and Karissa. We made köttbullar (meatballs), klyftpotatis (potatoes in the oven), Mizerja (cucumbers in sour cream salad) and also ungspannkaka (oven pancakes) for breakfast. Karissa and Heather made Monkey Bread for us. I had no idea what it was. It is like small breadballs that you roll in cinamon and then u kind of dip them in carmel toffe mixture. It was very good :) Here are some pictures from that night :)

Package from home!

Last week we had a sleep in on Tuesday and Thursday. We started school at 10:45. On Tuesday I spent 3h in school just doing catch up work for the week I was gone to Atlanta and sick. I was sick the whole last week. At the end of the week I went to the doctor becuase I felt really bad. I had pink eye which is an eye infection and also infection in my bronchial tubes. The doctor thought that I had pneumonia but it later turned out that I didn't have pneumonia. I got some eye drops with antibiotica for the pink eye and I also got some cought medicine.
 
This week has gone by pretty fast. In AP Biology we are doing a lab testing respiration which is fun mostly because I have a good time with the group I work with :) Today Heather, Colton and I were preparing for doing the lab and we (Heather) accidently (she blaimed it on me) spilled a lot of water all over our table and everything got wet. I really like AP Biology except that the course is really hard. In English we are reading Macbeth which is very challenging. My English teacher always picks on me so I usually have to read out loud and everyone thinks it's really amusing when I read because of my accent. In PE this week we played pickle ball which is basiclly tennis but with wooden rackets and a indoor hockey ball (innebandyboll). We were in pairs and we played a tournament. I played with Erick and we played three games and we lost two of them so we are now out of the tournament. In choir we sing the songs "God bless America" and "Homeward Bound". We are going to preform for the Middle school on Monday because it's Veteran's day. 
 
Yesterday I got a package from my parents which made me really happy. I'm most happy about the kinder eggs because here in America kinder eggs are apparently illegal :( 
Bob got a LHC tshirt :)
Funny carrots we picked in our garden and ate yesterday
A cake Penny made a week ago 
So on Thursday because we had a sleep in Veera, Karissa, Heather, Jessica and I went to Seven Angels in Chilton and ate breakfast before school :)

Senior Photos

In America when you are a senior you take senior photos. Then you print small copies and give them to your friends so that they remember you after high school. Veera (the other New Holstein exchange student) and I are seniors so we thought we could do this too. The good thing is that my host mom is a photographer so she took our senior photos :)

World of Coca Cola

When I was in Atlanta I also went to The World of Coca Cola. The museum was really cool and very well made. It was partly a guided tour and partly you could go around yourself. At the end everyone could try all the products that Coca Cola makes in different countries all over the world. It was about 60 different sodas. I wanted to try them all but at the end I had enought of soda. The best sodas were suprisingly from Asia. My favorite soda there was "Smart" and I think it was from China. The most disgusting sodas were from Italy, UK and Root Bear from America.
