Day 12

I had the chance to talk to one of my best friends on skype today! It was great talking to Grace Gatto, and I am so thankful that I got to see her! She means a lot to me and I don't think she knows all that she has done for me as a person! I miss Manitou, the school, my friends, my family, track, and most of all my dogs! I miss their lovings after a hard day, or their consistency of being there to lean on! Oh man...it is hard being so far away from home! But today was just...egh! There is no better word than egh, because egh is what today was like! I mean I met really cool people, sat in such exciting classes(wink wink), and at least it was sunny! I am trying new food, like tonight for desert my host mum made chocolate pudding! But its not like the kind in America, it's more strange! But I ate it and loved every minute of it! I got an email from my family and they are safe and sound in Aruba and that made me feel so much better. Just to think that I was with them two weeks ago, and now I won't see them for 6 months is crazy! I miss them like crazy, I miss HOME like crazy! But I'm excited for my trip up north in 2 days! It should get my mind off things until I get to ichat with my parents again!
