3rd Host Family

I've had an email from my third host family. Their daughter, Helene, is in Armidale on exchange and I have already met her. Helene has an older sister Maria. Errol and Anne-Kari (my host parents) seem like really nice people. They live across the street from my first host family (Wolds). I'm looking forward to meeting them when I go to Norway.

For now my second host family will be a surprise! I can't believe how close when I leave is, but I'm super excited!:)

Last Day of School

Today was a bit of a sad day in a way. It was my last day at Quirindi High until 2014. It was fun though. We watched a movie, made a slip and slide and went to the pool. It was kind of weird though, saying goodbye to everyone and it being the last time I'll be at the school until I'm in year 11.


Suitcase

I have my suitcase for Norway! Mum and Dad bought me a super light suitcase which is actually pretty big. Now I'm just putting stuff in it and I'm going to organise it later. It will kinda save me from freaking out that I haven't  started packing, which is going to be quite daunting

Rotary Christmas Party

On Sunday night we had the Rotary Christmas Party. It was a pretty great night. We had dinner and sat around talking and singing carols. I got presented my blazer officially and I got given some club banners and a few bibs and bobs about the district.

Aussie Souveneirs

When I was in Sydney this week for my school excursion we went to Paddys markets. I found these great Aussie souveneirs to take to Norway with me. I got these cute little koalas and some tea towels.

39 days until Norway!!:)

Exciting Emails

I got an exciting email! It was about some of the Rotary camps and thing that are on next year in Norway. I found out that I've got language camp, then winter camp. I'm now registered for winter camp and it sounds awesome!:) It's a whole week of skiing! We also have a bbq in the snow (which I wasn't exactly sure how that works). I can't wait for it though, sounds like fun. I've never been to the snow before so its going to be interesting as to how my skiing goes. On the second last day we go on this 12km cross country ski.

Theres also a few weekend Rotary camps that I've been told about. And then theres EUROTOUR!! Its in May and is a bus trip around Europe. Its going to be so much fun!:)

Counting down on my calendar:)

45 days to go!:)
