San Antonio

Day 3

Today Highschool was a bit better. There was less staring and whispering. Anyway, this is crazy!. I've been watching american films all my life, and now, I´m here. There are Cheerleaders, and Athletes, and a band, and...

you know. It´s going to be like living in a movie. Let's see how it goes! Here's the link of the Highschool's webpage: www.ahisd.net

When bell rang, we went home to take our lunch and then, we had a picnic in Brackenridge Park, which is near the Highschool. It's gorgeous! I really want a park like this one in Gran Canaria, there isn't space, though. Loren, Jake, Penny and I had a ride with our bikes through the park, and we visited the Japanese Tea Garden. I could be there for ages, hearing the water and looking at

all those plants... It's like paradise. We went home at 8 pm, in a race with our bikes. I'm almost dead from the exercise. Loren laughed at me and invited me to start doing footing with her. She runs every evening, just before the

sunset.

Day 4

Weekend! Today I've been recuperating from the travell, the different time zone and yesterday's ride. I woke up at 12 pm! I haven't done absolutely anything, except my washing and some homework (yeah, I already have some! *-*). I was doing research in the Internet for events hear, in San Antonio, and I found really interesting things: I've booked some tickets for these things:

• San Antonio Rampage VS Chicago Wolves, in Hockey, the 4th April.
• San Antonio Spurs VS Memphis Grizzlies (NBA), the 12th April. I tried to look for tickets for the match against the Lakers, but they were too expensive (45$ up)
• Shen Yun 2012, which is a musical show, the 8th May.

I also talked with my family, obviously. I miss them being next to me.

San Antonio, day 1 and 2

Well! Finally here! I arrived yesterday at 7pm local time. My "new family" recieved me at the airport after nearly 20 hours of plane (horrible!).

They're all very kind. There are 2 twins of my age: Loren and Mathew and a kid (8): Louise. Their parents are Brian and Brenda (46). It´s funny, because all of them´ve got blond hair and blueish eyes, except Loren: she's got black hair a grey eyes.

The first thing we did was eating in a Thai restaurant. I' d never tried Thai food before, but it was awesome! Thankfully, they paid. After having dinner, we went home. They showed me my room, which is HUGE a orange coloured (beauuutiful!) and, best of all, I´ve got my own TV! I was thinking of watching TV on my laptop, but this is much better! They also lend me a bike, so I don´t have to pay for the bus when moving around. Could I ask for more?

Today was the first day at highschool. I was nervous about it, I mean, about being the new girl in class. Almost any teacher repaired on me, but I was the main attraction for students in the first hour. I hate it. Gratefully, I'm in Loren's group. She was very nice to me. Jake and Penny were also like that. The others just stared, and whispered between them, and laughed.

After highschool I just stayed at home all day, talking with my new family, with my real family (through Skype) and finally, reading something. Loren recommended me the Public Library. She's a romantic, she loves Byron's poetry. I haven't read him, but I'm in team Becquer.
