Hey! So, I'm sorry for not bloging this week, but I've been so busy!

Saturday was just a boring day. I stayed home and read the whole day. Sunday, some of Renee's family came over for a BBQ! I had a really great day. At night, Cory and Renee decided they would show me downtown Dallas! I really love this area, it's so big and beautiful here.

Monday was first day of school, and I promise you: I was scared out if my mind. EVERYTHING was scary. I was freaking out. But I found all my classes, and it was all good. I did not eat my lunch in the toilets!

Tuesday was better. I met with Albane (a french exchange student) in the morning, and we also had lunch together! She is so freaking adorable and so nice. I'm really glad I have someone to talk to and sit with at lunch!

Wednesday was better than tuesday. I had a mixup with my classes, so I had French 3 Honors instead of French 2. So I went to see the consulor and I switched French with Human Experience Honors, which I am really enjoying! Also, when I was waiting for the bus, a guy came up to me and asked if his friend could have my number. Sadly, I still don't have a number..

Thursday was even better! School and everything is going so good. People are really friendly. I had a quiz in Anatomy and Physiology, and it was Renee's 28th birthday! So we went to a place called the Magical Time Machine or something. Let me tell you two things: americans are crazy, and they eat ALOT of food.

Yesterday was a bad day. I was really sick, so I stayed home from school. I just slept all day.

Today I went to the mall with Karoline! She's also a Norwegian exchange student :) we spent like 4 hours shooping talking and eating. I spent alot of money, but there were stuff I needed, like a bag that could carry my books, more clothes and so on. I still need basic things like deodorant, a curling iron, more socks and stuff like that, so maybe I'll go to target or something tomorrow!

If people are interested, I was thinking I might do like a haul video? Comment if you want that!

Heey!

Wednesday evening, I Skyped with Marte for about 2 hours.

On Tuesday, the day started with me and Renee going to Plano East Senior High to fill out paperwork and pick what classes I wanted. I ended up with English 4, US History, Math Models, Anatomy and Physyology, French 2, Principels of Health Science and then I'm taking Psychology and Medical Terminology for 1 semester each. Later, me, Renee and Coco went to an ice-cream bar to mert two other EF students and their families. It was really fun, and I'm glad to know I will see both Karoline and Benedikt during the year :)

Yesterday, me, Renee and Coco went to the mall pretty early. I have alot of trouble with the SIM-card EF gave me, so we checked the options to buy an American SIM-card. After that I shopped for a few hours, met up with Renee again, went to lunch and then Renee dropped me of at school so I could pick up my schedule and find my classrooms. Man that school is HUGE. Lucky for me, I have 5 of 7 classes in the same building!

We also went to a rodeo last night! It was actually pretty fun, I've never seen anything like that before.

I'm in Texas! Arrived about 4 pm yesterday, and I promise you; I don't remember standing in line at immigration for so long before. Took 1 and a half hours! After that I met my host parents and went to the house to unpack my stuff. We also went to dinner at a typical texan resturant :)

Today, me and mom went to lunch and to Target, where I got school supplies and make-up. Mom also bought all kinds of food I've never had, to try for breakfast.

Tomorrow I'm going to school to pic classes and we're going to eat hot dogs and ice cream with two other EF students and a person from EF! I'm so excited, because I actually know one of the others students so I'm really excited to meet her!
