Thanksgiving

Hi!
This long weekend was Thanksgiving, my first one. It was so delicious! It was great to meet new family members of my hostfamily. I also could sleep in for my first time until 10:30. Finally my jetlag is over after a month and a few days.
Monday was school off and I walked to the lake together with my hostsister. I had to study for my first big test in the evening - Social Studies. I wrote the test today and I would say it was okay, because I could answer every question. If I did a great test, I will see in a few days.
I played the first time in my life baseball today. It was hard for me standing on the field and knowing nearly nothing about the rules. It was funny.
So I will make me a tea now and carry on watching The 100.
Take care
Nina

Trip to Victoria and Cookies

Hi!
I am so sorry, that I did not tell you something about the trip to Victoria ealier, but the last two weeks were so busy.
We drove with a school bus to Vancouver and there we took the ferry. In a school bus is not that much space, so I was really happy when we were on the ferry. Sadly it was raining, but however it was great to see the ocean again. When we finally arrived on Vancouver Island, we drove half an hour to Victoria. There we had the whole day freetime for shopping, eating and taking pictures. First I searched with my friend for a Tim Hotons. That was not easy, but with time and help from a Canadian woman we got it. Then I bought a present for my mum. I was afraid, that I had no more money left, because I spent to much in my first month. For example I bought two new pairs of shoes. It was a beautiful day anyway.
Cooking and baking are still the favourite things of my sister and me. I love to let my friends try our new cookies, muffins or cakes. And we got only good feedback until now. I think today we will bake peanutbutter cookies and blueberry muffins. Also I have to study today, because I have a test in Math and Social Studies next week.
Take care
