This week in gymnastics we worked on back handsprings and back tucks, it was really cool. I’m pretty sure on Friday I did more back tucks than I did in all of last year! :)
I can’t really tell you anything new about school – same old same old… : )
On Friday after practice, Lea and I made microwave brownies. We had to improvise some, but they turned out ok.
Saturday was a great day! We did lots of completely different things but still it wasn’t stressful. I spent it with Lea’s family again.
In the morning we had breakfast altogether. Then Lea, Ursula (Lea’s host sister) and I painted Easter eggs in school. Lea and I were almost the only teens, but it was fun anyway! : )
I always thought it was hilarious when I heard some random dad speak Swiss German with a dialect from Basel! But I guess that’s what happens when you go to the Swiss school… :)

Once we were back at her house we decorated a little tree that they have in the flat with our ‘huevitos’, then went to the little mall close to her house together with her whole family. After lunch we went to Scouts. Both of Lea’s host siblings are obsessed with Scouts and the exchange student, who lived with her host family last year, did Scouts as well and he really enjoyed it too. We decided that we might as well go and participate to see if we’d like it. It’s always Saturdays from 3 to 6pm. Scouts is offered for all of the people from our school, but there’s also a couple of kids from other schools as well. I met several people who are in my class! It felt a little bit like Longbridge or Hometown, running around and playing random games with a whole bunch of other people! : )
We enjoyed it both and I think we’ll probably go back next Saturday.
After dinner Lea and I went to the party from a guy in our school. My padres (host parents) picked us up afterwards and after dropping Lea off, I was in bed at 3am.
Today I slept in, and we’re having a pretty relaxing day!
