IN SHEPHERDSVILLE

Hello again!

My host family gave me this cake! It was so nice!

I am in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. It is a town next to Louisville. My school is in Louisville, but my family lives in Shepherdsville. I told you I was going to talk about my five first days here, and here I am!

Presentation Academy (Pres for short)

I arrived on Thursday morning, a bit tired. That night I ate a true American meal! You know, mashed potatoes, hamburgers... And on Friday it was my first day of school! Pres (Presentation Academy) is really big! It seems to be smaller! At first I was a bit overwhelmed, but then I just got more confidence in myself and I met a lot of people! I went to all my classes, we only have seven subjects, the
same everyday.

And on Saturday, I went shopping with Lynne during all the afternoon! Lynne is my host mother, she is really nice. Between shop and shop, we went with Meredith and Don to a restaurant called Lynn's Paradise Cafe. Don is my host father and Meredith is my host sister. I love her! She is really friendly and good! The restaurant was just original! It did not seem like anything I have seen before!

After that, we watched a film called The Way, it is about the Camino, the Way of Santiago. It is a way that arrives to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia (my region). The Cathedral was built at first as a little church in 829 C.E., because it is said that under it is the tomb of the Apostle Saint James (Santiago in Spanish).


On Sunday I just did my homework! They were so hard to do! Not really difficult, but very long for me. I think it will be better with the time.

And today it was my second day of school! I really enjoyed it! And in the afternoon, I went to the Kentucky State Fair with Meredith and her boyfriend, Alex. He is so friendly, like an English gentleman. The Fair was very nice, I learnt about Kentucky way of life and I went to the funfair!

In summary, I had five really nice first days, and I am sure the rest of the year will be as nice as these five days. 

Bye Bye!
