Karoline’s Big Adventure.

Yes, I know you have been waiting for this. So lets say it together: “Wohooo!”

From left to right: Min Ji, who is my Korean host sister, Zuli, who is Norwegian/Turkish/Chinese and lives with Sue, my host mum’s cousin and at least Pie, from Thailand. Who lives with Zuli and Sue. These three are the ones I hang out with. And this picture is actually from the restroom in our church, before a concert we went to last friday. It was awesome.

This is Min Ji outside of our house! I really like it here.

This is our dog, Billy. She loves me because I give her too much attention. She likes to hide under weird things, like our car.

This is from the barbeque/orientation for the exchange students. Zuli and Pie are so cute. There were so many exchange students there and I introduced myself to all of them and when another student said that he was from Norway too, I didn’t realise what he said and asked him were he was from like two times. But it was major fun, and they had a swimming pool!

Also from the bbq/orientation. Left to right is Nics, from Thailand, he is in my Sr. Lit and Government class. He is really quiet. Then there’s Archie, he doesn’t go to our school. He is Thai too. Then Pie, Zuli, Min Ji.

At church, before the concert mentioned above. Zuli, Min Ji, Pie. Then there’s Solamo who is one of the leaders of the youth group there, and sunday school. His wife, Jenni, is the other leader. Their children, Eric, Emily, Nick and Katie are also really nice.

 Last picture! This is of Min Ji in our room.

 School is going great. It was really stressful at first but now I’m getting used to how short the breaks are, where my class rooms are etc. One big surprise is that government is probably my favorite class. Mr. Hicks, the teacher, is hilarious. I also enjoy Spanish a lot. Que pasa?

 I have some trips I hope I can do during the year. In november we are going to Chicago with the church. I reallyyy want to go to 3DYG in Ohio in December (Convention for young people, with church), I also want to do YIG (Youth in Government) in Lansing. I want to experience as much as possible while I’m here. I can talk on the phone and sit on the computer when I get home. Heh!

 I got 18/18 on the marine biology quiz and 26/30 on a US history quiz. I enjoy US History and Spanish because the teachers always ask “What is it like in Norway?” whether we talk about 9/11, gas prices or the numbers from 1 to 20.

I’m kind of tired now, and I think Min Ji wants the computer. Good bye, peeps!
