I am sorry I am updating on Monday, but yesterday was the Winter Dance and I wanted to talk about it. Well, let's see. I am going to talk about a whole lot of things I did last week and about a (in my opinion) interesting thought that I have had just after the dance.
Well, on Tuesday I had a Math Team exam! It was so hard! I was really happy because in the last exam I was first, but in this one... I do not know in which position I am going to be. Perhaps fourth or fift. I am really glad of belonging to the Pres Math Team, though. I love Math and I enjoy participating on the exams.
On Wednesday I went to... the Opera! We saw Don Giovanni. It was absolutely fantastic. We went there with the Language Club, and I have to say that it was wonderful. The voices of the singers were so powerful! The show was in Italian, but they had subtitles. I think it is a shame that we are not going to go to any more operas with the Language Club!
Do you remember what happened February 14th? Yes, you are right! Saint Valentine's Day! It was soooo fun! We gave balloons to our friends with heart-shaped cards. I gave and received a lot of them! Later, at home, Don and I went to see the movie "Warm Bodies." It was about a zombie that falls in love with a human. I enjoyed it, it was nice.
On Saturday I had the Regional Competition of Math. I did as well as I could, and I am happy for it. I already know the result: I did not make it to the State Competition. However, do you know what? It is fine, I am really proud of myself because I made it first to the Regionals!
Winter Dance! It was fantastic! Great! On Sunday I went with some of my friends to have dinner at the Waffle House and then we went to the Dance. We danced during the whole three hours! I really, really, really loved it! After the Dance was over, I went to a sleepover at my friend Bernadette's house. I am always saying that my friends are wonderful, they are fantastic! I am going to post a picture of the Dance when I finally get them (they are in Shelby's camera).
Here it is my thought: Do you remember that I told you that I have been feeling like a true American girl during the past months? Now, I feel it even more! After my first American Dance, I believe that being a teenager in America is not like in the movies, but even better! Don't think about High School Musical, because that is not the way how it is here, but I like it very much! Right now I am talking with my friend Jiachen, one student from China, and she was saying that she enjoyed the Dance so much too! You know, American Dances are popular all over the world!
Now, something I want to tell you all: Lynne (my host mother) has mononucleosis. I feel so sorry for her, I hope that she recovers soon. Cindy, my Local Coordinator, says that I have to move to other host family to not get sick. I know it is an opportunity to meet other people, but I am going to miss Mere, Lynne, and Don so much. I am very thankful with them and I love them a lot.
Well, people, see you next Sunday!

Bye Bye!
Ya ví tus fotos y están genial. Claro que bailar es una chulada. Te lo dice alguien a quien le gustaban muchísimo las fiestas y discotecas.Tú, tranquila, que todo se arreglará. Un beso enorme guapa.
ReplyDeleteGracias, mami! Y muchas gracias por tu comentario! Tienes razón, bailar es una chulada! Un besazo.
DeleteLaura: debes estar muy agradecida a las Fundaciones Barrié y Amancio Ortega y a su coordinadora Cindy por la rapidez con que intentan cuidad de ti ante la menor posibilidad de que pudieses contagiarte de mononucleosis.
ReplyDeleteY por favor, estáte tranquila, pues aunque cualquier cambio requiere un esfuerzo, todos los cambios son oportunidades si se cogen de manera optimista, como tú lo haces siempre.
Mucha suerte y a seguir confiando en ti misma y en las personas que te rodean y que, sin duda, te quieren.
Papi, ya le estoy muy agradecida a ambas Fundaciones, Cindy, y Mere, Lynne y Don. Cogeré este cambio de manera optimista y positiva, para convertirlo en una oportunidad.
DeleteGracias por tu comentario, papi.
Un beso, Laura.
