1st Year Almost Up

So my first year ends now in September.. It's crazy.. Doesn't feel like I've been gone at all, but at the same time, it sort of feels as if I have lived here my whole life.

This year has seriously been my year of travelling! I have been to so many cool places these past\months and there is more to come..(FL in November!) The places I liked the most are New York, Washington DC, HAWAII, Chicago, Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, Santa Barbara and of course Palm Springs! I also enjoyed going to Houston w/my hostfamily because it was so different and I just enjoy travelling with them.

Other highlights of my year:
Gotta say it again: HAWAII
All the cool American holidays -
-Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine's + celebrating Christmas and Easter here.
Having my kids say I'm the "best babysitter ever" -
and all the fun times I've had w/my kids
Seeing new places
Going to Palm Springs
Making new friends

Some not-so-fun things about my year:
There was an earth quake and I didnt even know about it.
Where is all my money? Gone
My serious addiction to caffein and what it does to me when I don't get my Starbucks!
Lost a couple friends (but got some new ones)


S0 basically I just have to start saving money, keep the caffein coming and stop fighting with my friends. and my life will be perfect! haha

Good thing I'm staying for another year!
