My Days

Our class. We laugh a lot.

I'm so excited and surprised by all the chocolate. Just...wow...chocolate. Oh man. 

We got to ride scooters in an awesome museum in Luzern. Pretty efficient way to get around.

On my way to Olten. I see this times a million

Molly's Pencil. 

September 18

Sometimes class is so boring I want to shoot myself. This is only with our second teacher, though. And though today was our last, this was no exception. Our regular teacher is so adorable. Seriously. He plays classical music and sometimes sings along with it. He also encouraged us to teach him Simon Says and 'The Hokey Pokey' (which, I have to say, failed). So, today, all I did was think about my worries and daydream about the problems amplifying themselves. It was horrifying. Luckily, Molly unintentionally cheered me up, which brings me to a point we sorta realized today. How are we going to manage without each other? We both sorta 'get' everything we mean right away and laugh at terrible puns and funny American stuff that no one else gets (which makes it even more hilarious). This will be the third time this month I have to start over and make new friends, only this time it's real. Haha. All the others were fake. Okay, not really but it was different. we had something especially in-common with each other. Now, it's just me and the swiss people. Whatever. I'll manage. 

Molly has a funny pencil. She found it at her grandparents house. In bold it says 'Extasy' then on the second line 'Exotic Lingerie and Adult Novelties' and third 'Home Parties.' Just incase anyone finds this more enthralling and desirable than funny, here's the number (though please don't bother to tell me) '816-312-2796.' The top of this red pencil has white hair and a face with a cute little yellow bow-tie. 

Ugg. I can't figure out pictures. Everything is in German. 

I have to say, Switzerland is the most beautiful country I've been to. So many hills. All the towns are in at the foot of the hills, so the hills completely surround them. They're covered with forest-green trees so that every patch of land in that area lies completely concealed. And they're such a beautiful green. It's nice to actually be able to see them. They're not hidden by houses or anything. Just the way they are and I like that. The only thing I'm intensely worried about is the weather. It's 8 degrees (Celsius, of course. Don't be stupid) and it gets so much colder. I can't handle that. I think it's already to cold. So, I think I'm going to die. Sorry. But, the cold is very strange. It's sorta... 'frosty'? Like, even if it's not too cold, you can still see your breath. It's hard to explain, but it's just different. Maybe it's because the air kinda stays in one place. It's not at all near an ocean (weird for me) and hills surround it so wind is scarce.
