Week four, sjerious kissing, weird pictures

Week 4 was week B again. Less periods than week A so more time for schoolwork and blog     -__-. However, I haven’t worked on my blog a lot like you can see, because it’s now week six and I still have to start with week 4. Luckily, I made some notes so I don’t have to remember everything I did. I had a great weekend ;) in which I actually kissed a girl on Maia’s party. So, first day back at school, lots of people asked me and Bessie (who kissed a guy) about it… Louis’ father was also enjoying that I had kissed, cause he said all the time: ten minutes of Sjerious kissing. Sjerious because of my Dutch accent :P. Luckily the girl I had kissed followed schooling at another school, because otherwise we would have gotten mental by all the questions :P. However, school was fine. That afternoon, Louis went to gym, and I went home to study for my German test, and the first test sent to England… It took quite some time to revise all words, sentences and grammar but it was fine. That night we had Shepherd’s pie which is a typical English dish.

Next day, first test at LOGS’. Ms Rosin asked me after Registration which periods I wanted to make the test. So, after small break, I joined up with Ms Rosin who took my test with me and brought me to a room of 1.5 by two metres… So, quite small but great, because you aren’t interrupted for about an hour. The test went fine and I really would like to know my grade, but it’s still not put on the school site. That night, I skyped with some friends (English) and met a boy named Joseph who had been  a student of LOGS for a long time, but had moved after year eleven. Quite a big amount of students leave after year eleven to finish their A-levels at another school. Those A-levels could be compared with the exams at the end of secondary school in the Netherlands. Joe, Joseph, had moved to Spain to finish schooling there. Willem told me that all those guys play a game together and talk with each other while playing the game. Joe said that he had a second account and asked me if I wanted to have it, so we are able to have contact when I’m back to Holland.

Wednesday, when I got in, I saw some unhappy faces. The students had gotten their results for their exams they took some months ago. I found out that some students had seriously messed up… Another unhappy fact was: Liz (one of my friends) was ill. That night, I talked with her on Facebook and asked her some questions. She told me what her favorite animals, color and food was. With the help of Louis, we made some pictures of me and used paint to put me for example for a zoo with a tiger and kangaroo in my arms and a police officer behind me, so showing me stealing some animals from a zoo. It was quite funny, and I spent whole night doing it. Another important thing I realized that day, was that I’ve brought good weather with me from the Netherlands. I think I only have had one day with storm and some days a bit cloudy.

Thursday was my last day with the Whytes, I thought. Peter took me to the golf pitches at the hills next to Lewes. You had a great view on the town. They wanted to show this view on  Lewes before I would leave them. I was going to stay with the Powers. Jake and Bessie Power are in my year, so are two years older. The school day was normal, but we skipped psychology again because they were making a test. In the lunch break I went into village with some friends and had lunch at café Nero. It’s quite expensive in this restaurant and really different than the free lunch at school. However, I think lunch at school is just as good as, and actually even better than lunch at restaurants. In the fifth and sixth period, I made a mathematics D test, which was, I thought, much too hard. I might have missed something at the RLW but I was only able to make three of five exercises without problems. After school, Mrs Power picked Jake, Lucy, Manon and I up from school and brought Lucy and Manon to Lucy’s house, which already took half an hour, and drove on for another five minutes to the Power’s house. So, quite different than the other host families. However, it was in the middle of nowhere, but an awesome location! They got one really cute dog, quite different than Zorro (my dog) but really cute. Bessie had stayed in town cause that night, there was a parents evening with children about the results of their exams. At night, I was brought to Lucy’s to do some work there while Jake, Bessie and their parents were at the parents evening. I had to study for a Greek test, however wasn’t able to study everything because of multiple reasons: lack of concentration and Lucy's cat on my books while studying... I had dinner at Lucy’s which was nice!! I was picked up at around half nine.

Friday morning, I found out that Mrs Power picks up the Hughes girls and Manon every morning. However, normally, at Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we have to take the bus to school. In the morning I asked Ms Rosin in which periods I had to make my test. She replied, that she said it would be better if I made it Monday the week after! I didn’t really care, because I was still able to study a bit for my Greek exam. A long day with many periods, but I still enjoyed it. I heard some rumors about the concert called Glyndebourne. Sanny, Manon and I were also going there. Mr Blewitt had ‘free’ tickets (again) for us. We get so much for free in LOGS. At night I watched some movies with Bessie, one was really weird, and we had dinner in front of the tv!
