Youth Group

17th of April, Friday

Today was the end of the third quarter in school. I can't believe that the year is almost over. I doubt that my average will be as good as in the previous two quarters, but I don't mind. I missed a lot of school, but for the r ight reasons: to discover America and New York.

  Friday was a skinny day again, so I saw all my teachers. The last block was choir, and after we sang Clementine a couple of times (fortunately many of those were successful), Ms. Dyer went through the itinerary for the NYC trip. I'm so excited to go!! I'm the only exchange student in the area, who hasn't seen the Big Apple yet. I've been there for one day in 2012, but there's so much more to do, to see! We're going to have a day of competition, and two days of sightseeing and practicing. It's going to be very awesome!

  A few hours after I got home, Sarah picked me up at 6. We had dinner at Wimpy's, and then we went to a youth group meeting to church. We just sat on comfy chairs and played some games, then Claudia, the leader, talked about a passage in the Bible, that we performed in little groups. At the end, we played this really funny game called "grug", where 3  pieces of flashlights are hidden in the whole building (including the sanctuary, the gym and the nursery), and people have to find the pieces and put them together, in order to defeat the "grugs", two people, who chase the others, and  "freeze" them when they catch them. It's a fun game with a lot of running, so I definitely had my exercise for this day. We played two rounds, in the second one, Sarah and I were the grugs, but our game was shorter, because everybody was tired now.

  Before we realized, it was past 10. We went home, and I slept over at Sarah's house.
