Sonjas' First Report

August 16, 2005

Hallo,

I arrived for two weeks now and it is fantastic to live here. I did so many things. After the very funny flight with Conny, Lorina and Robi and the meeting with a part of my host family and Roy at the airport I arrived Marathon after four hours. I met the rest of my family and about thirty minutes later I already met many friends and Rotariens from my famlily. I also met Suzie and some of her friends, but I was so tired that I couldn’ t remember all the names on the next day. The next day I went to school and get my courses, then I had my first rotary meeting at lunch. The club is so funny and friendly. At the evening I went to the beach. The next day was my first school day. It was ok. I’ m the first exchange student since years and something very special as European.

The Friday came and so the first weekend. In the evening we went playing soccer it was much fun. On Saturday I had to stand up early, because there was a swimmcompetition from my hostsistlings in Key West and after the competition I went shopping with some friends of my family. It was very fun and I got my first souvenirshirt. On Sunday I went to the Inboundorientation to Ft. Lauderdale . It was very funny and I liked to meet all the people. The only bad thing was the long way. The next week started and everything became normal. On Monday there was a charity softballgame where  I met my third hostfamily.
Last weekend I relaxed a lot. I’ m looking forward to the weekend when I will go to Miami together with Conny. I think we will have a very funy time expecially at Florian’ s birthday, because I got a lot of stuff from my hostmother.
