Oh my god now I have been here for 4 weeks!!! Time is running and I dont even notice it! My first weeks were awesome, interesting, hard, strenous but great! First week in school ( Palmetto Sn High) was very hard, because the school has 3500 students ( my german school has 800..) and I got lost 3 times! But now after 4 weeks Im getting used to everything! I can find my classes and I nearly understand everything! My schedule is very good, because I love almost all of my teachers and everybody is very helpful!!2 weeks ago I went to my first Football game ever. I went to the Canes-Gators game and it was just awesome! I havent seen something like that before! It was so much fun!And now I know how to play football! On the weekends,! I often go with my hostfamily wakeboarding or I just relax. And now Im sick! Outside there is the best weather and I am lying in bed, but ok what can I do...

Last week I went to my first rotarymeeting and it was great! Everybody was very nice and my other hostdads were there , too. But I havent done my presentation yet. Well Im looking very much forward to the Interact Conference and meet all the other stundents!  I hope everybody ( In and Outbounds) have a good time and enjoy their year.
