life

sometimes as im walking down the street or sitting on a tram looking out the window at the gorgeous buildings, the people walking down the street, i stop myself and think “dude, you live in europe. this is for real. this is your life.” and remember how blessed i really am, for being here, for having this experience.

anyways, an update on my life.

this morning i woke up at 6:30, got ready for school and got on the bus. i met up with dora when i got off my bus and we went together on a tram to school. first period was english, i dont remember much being as it was so early and i was tired but i know we talked about sterotypes of different nationalities, kinda fun. second period was sociology, which i dont take, so i sat there and studied physics because i thought that those of us who failed the test were taking the retest today.. but we didnt. after sociology we had break, 20 minutes where we can go get food since there is no lunch period in school here. i got a sandwich. samo sir, salata i dalmatinski. delicious. 

third was gym. our gym teacher wasnt in school today so we didnt really have to do much. we hung out, played around with hoolahoops and were jumping on the big squisky foam mat that we use for the highjump. successful gym class if you ask me. 

the next two classes were german and biology, neither of which i take, so emma and i sat on the back steps, did our croatian homework then went and got on the computers. sixth period, physics. gross. and we didnt end up having the retake test, which was cool with me. i didnt know how to do anything that would be on the test anyways. i did however get yelled at for having a nice scientific calculator. the same one we are required to buy for school at home, is apparently not allowed in school here. so i guess they want me to go buy and abacus or something. figures.

mondays on morning school we dont have seventh period, so school was over. i went to the main square with emma, met up with another exchange student, danielle, got some ice cream then danielle and i went back to my house. we ate a huge lunch, hung out, and watched the new episode of desperate housewives :D around 5, emma came over my house too, and after a little we went into the city to get some kebab. omg, kebab <3

after we ate we headed to the main square to go to our croatian lessons. it was good, were working on the third case right now, the accusative case. im not even going to try to explain, sorry. 

then after class i went with some other exchangers to ‘vino grad’ or in english, wine city, and got kuhano vino, cooked wine, which is just hot wine and a kobasica sa sirom, or croatian sausage with cheese. vrlo dobro. very good. 

by that time it was almost 11, i got my bus and went home, got on facebook and went to bed. 

theres a typical day.

so now that ive bored you, ill tell you something exciting.

im going to france! yes! over christmas break, skiing for a whole week, in the alps, with just my friends. :D go ahead, be completely jealous, i promise i cant blame you.. [;

so thats that, life in hrvatska. 

what a sucky blog post. ill make up for it next time, i promise.

maybe.
