Time heals everything.

Just thought I would let everyone know that my day today was much, much better.

I had the first 2 periods off because they are classes that I am not required to take, so I was able to sleep in today and take a later bus to the train station. I got lost at school once again (surprise, surprise) but I managed to run into a bunch of people from my class so they told me to stay with them and all would be fine! They took me to class and hopefully I won't get lost again. I don't have a phone here yet - or handy, as they call them - but when mine arrives they said they would give me their numbers so that if I get lost I can ask them where they are and how to get there!

People told me before I came that it would take time for the Swiss people to warm up to me and not to expect theme to be my best friends right away. I can see that in the past week, a lot of them have warmed up to me more, so I hope that when I start going full days to school that everything will work out and I will make friends in my class faster. We are both trying, so I hope that in a couple of weeks, I will be able to speak more German with them so that they don't have to speak with me in English - although they do like doing that.

That's all for today and I have a busy day tomorrow! It's my host mom's birthday, so I offered to make pancakes for breakfast with REAL maple syrup and everyone is quite excited! Then my host parents are going out with friends to celebrate her birthday so I am heading to Luzern to meet up with some other exchange students! Should be funnnn!

xoxo,
