I'm a presentation now :D
Today I woke up early to go and talk at Lina's, one of my friends's, english class! Waking up early was horrible but going to the class and speaking was really fun! I enjoy talking to people and it was fun to just be there and talk about the U.S. and where I live and everything. I took a book that my Mom made for me that just kind of introduces me and says who I am and where I come from and I think that was really helpful. Still thought a lot of the kids I meet here are really shy. I wouldn't think they would be and not every single one of them is but it is common to be shy here. It took the kids a while to warm up to me and ask me questions, and the whole I speak English and they speak swedish most of the time, that probably didn't help anything either. Still though, public speaking infront of my peers is always good and I can use as much practice at that as I can get! I really hope to be speaking better swedish in a few months, I need to speak Swedish. I realize it's not going to just happen, I have to try to learn, but I think it will get easier after a few months. After doing that, I went to basketball practice with my school, that was fun and I am having to challenge myself more and more to keep up with these players, they're really good. I then went to my Rotary meeting and talked to Melli, a women who has been really involved with me and with helping me do things, and she invited me to go golfing with her husband and son. I went home and slept a little before golfing and I really had a good time when I did go golfing. There are three golfers in my class and I saw two of them at the course, I realized that I want to learn how to golf. Golfing isn't so easy, you can't just start playing 18 holes, I want to get better and to be able to play 18 holes. All in all it was a great day! I am just happy to be here and to be living life!!
