Whats the point of a title anyways...?

Hello all. Here's your weekly update.

I can't believe that 2 and a half months have already gone by though on the same token it seems like its beens an eternity since I left Ukiah back in August. Exchange student time simply makes no sense. So as of right now I'm going to stop counting the days (this is most likely a total lie) that I've been here and just enjoy it. Things here are fantastic, I really couldn't be happier. I have an amazing family, good friends, and an great Rotary Club. Which brings me to my next point... I will no longer be transferring to Esztergom for school. This is for multiple reasons but primarily because 1. I don't want to pay 50 dollars a month to sit in a classroom doing next to nothing (I do that already in Budapest but without tuition)2. I've finally made Hungarian friends at Csik Ferenc, 3.it's easier to attend Rotary meetings if I go to school in Budapest, and 4. last but not least I have finally gotten accustomed to Csik Ferenc and (dare I say it?) I enjoy going to school. I enjoyed going to school back home too but I think you get the idea. So yeah, thats the school update... Sam and I started going to the lunch meetings for Rotary, thats really enjoyable...

Last Friday night was the Freshman's Ball. All last week the upperclassmen created tasks for the freshman to do (PE lesson in public, etc) and then on Friday they had a ball where the 2 freshman classes had to compete against each other in similar random tasks. The winner of the night gets to host next year's Freshman ball and gets the pride of being the best and all that jazz. The other exchange students and I had to open the ball by giving a speech....in Hungarian. We each had 3-5 sentences each and I think (hope?) that went reasonably well...

Then on Saturday I made pie and dyed my hair red(ish). My host family doesn't own a pie pan so I had to make do but other than that it came out better than I expected.

So yeah... that was last week in a nutshell... I'm going to Vienna with Rotary on December 3 in case you were curious.

Okay thats all for now.
