It&#8217;s definitely spring now, the flowers are blossoming and the weather is acting like a dramatic teenage girl who can&#8217;t make up her mind.<\/p>\n<p>It was Florine&#8217;s (one of my good friends) birthday on Monday and we all went to the super market during a free period and bought really healthy food: chocolate (yes milka, Luisa), sour and sweet lollies, chips and fizzy &#8211; the typical dentist approved jazz. We spent a good 2 hours trying to make our way through it but realised pretty quickly that we brought a bit too much- especially as we&#8217;d just had one of the canteen&#8217;s giant sized lunches earlier &#8211; but we had a great time laughing and joking around. I had so much fun just chilling with them, I really felt like I belonged.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, this week has been pretty meh, I haven&#8217;t really done anything that different &#8211; just the normal school routine which I am actually starting to enjoy more than in NZ despite the day being 9 hours long. This weekend I am staying with my new host family to see if it&#8217;s a good combination. I&#8217;m torn between jumping for excitement and trembling with nerves!<\/p>\n<p>Differences:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The adverts for beauty products really aren&#8217;t that different but I just have to mention it because it makes me laugh so much. You know how the perfume products in NZ all have that person advertising them with a french or Italian accent? It&#8217;s just so much cooler and more hilarious watching it french because the women are really dramatic.<\/li>\n<li>The names are quite different. I still forget the names of some of my friends (I know, my memory is tragic) because the way you pronounce them is so bizarre. E.g there&#8217;s the new names like Pauline, Magdalina, Enzo and then the names which I recognise written down, but the pronunciation is totally different: Jaqueline, Caroline, Elodie.<\/li>\n<li>Because of the long school days, we have shorter terms before the holidays. Each term is only six weeks long and we have 4 sets of 2 week holidays and a 2 month one! That&#8217;s a winner for me!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So that&#8217;s basically it, just a quick update this time:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wowowow 3 months down!
