End of the first quarter

14th of November, Friday

Today was the end of the first quarter at school. That means, we completed quarter of our year, and our grades for this time period have been closed. For me, that means 99-100% from Creative Writing, 96% US History, 93% French, 91% AP Psych, 90% Select Choir, 86% AP English, 78% PE. I guess that's pretty good, I don't really study here.
  We also had to give in our senior quotes today. I spent all my free time emailing my parents, asking classmates, what I should do. I had like 10 quotes, each awesome. It was 1:47, when I finally completed the form, and handed it in. I went with "Adventure is out there!" from UP. I know, the villain of the movie says this, but it's true. And it applies to my exchange student year too. I'm having an adventure.
  Of course, sometimes that adventure can be very cold. Today, it snowed a lot. And it was veryvery cold. Good thing I stayed inside most of the time. I think that all people in Rochester should develop hibernation skills for the winter, I'd definitely join this revolution.
  So a quarter of my year is already up. It's hard to believe. So many things happened, and so many more are to come. I'm satisfied with most things here. School's easy, but at least I get good grades, people are nice, weather is miserable (this is the winter weather in Hungary, but it's just the middle of November!), homesickness is even worse. But those are the things I have to live with. I've learnt many thing about myself, I'm figuring myself and my future out.
  I think the happiest part of my day was, when I skyped my parents. I sent a package home with the professor I met a week ago, and they got it today. They were so excited, they couldn't wait to open it. It was just a bunch of letters and pictures, but I wanted to send them something, that reminds them how much I love them. We ended up skyping an hour. It was nice to see them, as it always is.
