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!
