Welcome to Snowland!!

Welcome to Snowland!!!

Helooo! I am back…  The time runs so fast, I’ve been here for 2 months, guess what, if you are an exchange student, The longer you stay in your destination country, the more experience you get.

In my first month, people might assume me as an exchange student, that’s the reason why they are entushiastic at me. But afterwards, they are not as enthusiastic as they were. In my opinion, it make sense, it means they already assumed me as their friend.

On the October 31^st I experienced my first Halloween. I came up to my friend house. Then, we brought our plastic bag, and we walked around the neighborhood to get candy as many as we can do. Hahaha. It seems goofy , but it was interesting, no matter if I am already teenager, you should ask for the candy brohh.

Halloween was done, I headed back to my house which is 1 hours away from where I was in Halloween party. I counted all the candy I got, it was so many, it could be countless haha. I shared a half of em either to my hostparents or myfriend. I ate all the rest and fortunately I am not getting fat yet, because I always try to do sport as often as I can do.

I used to be in soccer team here. But     I am no longer in soccer team, our schedule was over a week before Halloween. So, I decided to be the part of quizbowl team. Quizbowl is s group that refers to the student who are interested in math, English, and science. I will explain what quizbowl is like. We are in the room, and there are 2 Tv around us. We can see our opposite’s voice and listen what they are saying. They can do the same thing as well. The speaker will give the question, and your group only have approximately 15 seconds to answer each question. If you aren’t able, just say “please pass” and your opponent is going to answer it.  The game usually lasts for 1 hour. The team that has more point is the winner.

One of the most memorable moment is when I got my first winter on the November 8^th, It might sounds dramatic, but I was speechless how to describe it. Besides being the part of quizbowl team, I am also the part of crosscountry skying team. In my highschool, we have 2 different kinds of sky team, crosscountry and downhill. In downhill you start skying from up hill and go down until you touch the finishline. Both of them are very physical sport. In my first time doing crosscountry I struggled a lot, because I’ve never done that before. I fell down several times and get up, these are exhausting. But my coach’s motto is “if you aren’t falling, you are not learning.

They both are such fascinating activity. Talking about how my school is going so far, it is pretty good, I have to manage my time wisely. I always get up at 5.45 am, afterwards I take a shower, I never breakfast anyway, just my habit, hahaha.

I usually go to my highchool by school bus, our school provides school bus for those who don’t have ride to school, it might be because of either their parents are busy or another excuse.

If there was a student who hasn’t finished their homework, they don’t get a punishment, but they need to come to knowledge café. Knowledge café is an additional class for those who were either absent, sick, or not done with their homework. This class lasts for a half an hour. Our school is done at 3 pm. My ski practice starts at 4 am, we have 5 days practice in a week, so intense though, haha.

So, that’s the only thing I want to tell you, I still try improving my ability in writing an article. I am so glad to be the part of the town where I am living now.
