So we have just returned from the afs intercultura camp for 4 days in catania! it was an awesome camp and was great to meet up with everyone again especially the new zealanders and our solo australian. the days were usually taken up with heaps of activities about dealing with things which i found really useful. they also said that the next 2 months will be the hardest. so that sounds like fun!! apparetnly its the time when we start losing contact with our home countries because we have intergrated here which i can already understand as i am finding it hard to find time when i can come on. not because im always out but with homework which takes twice the normal time because i dont understand but just talking with everyone.. but also the family holidays christmas... natale here.. where one day we are like YAYYYY happy and the next we are all sad, so those mood swings are something to look forward to. hahahaha. but now im enjoying every day. my new friends are awesome and im off to Cetti's 18th birthday tomorrow so that should be fun! and this saturday im off to a disco with my classmates. my intercultura friends are the best though! spent the last 2 weeks with annabel except for 2 days. and we didnt get sick of eachother! which we both were suprised about.
unfortuantly,as with any camp, there was a talent show. this involved the countries getting together and doing something from their home country.. so of course we were begged to do the haka.. this of which you can see the video on facebook.. please dont. we are the whitest people in the whole of nz.. but everyone seemed to like it so thats the good part!
other then that it was a normal camp.. not sleeping much.. eating too much.. you know the drill.
so in 2 weeks im off to paris for a week!!!! we are going to be in a flat in the city centre!! im so excited! apart from knowing no french whatsoever! so im hoping charles wil teach me basics before i leave. charles is with afs from french canada. so ill definatly make sure to write about PARIS!!!
I miss everyone so much! the language is getting easier to understand everyday... and even if i dont understand i just say si and hope its to the right thing!
miss you guys heaps! off for a bike ride around ortigia now! hope summer is going well!
