conflict

I had my first conflict with my Hostsister yesterday and I feel awful, even though I might even haven´t done such a bad mistake, I feel like I´m dying. Amber seems to be hurt because of something I said but since we are so different in our natures, I just don´t get her and don´t understand what exactly she´s upset about. Maybe it´s not even me. :/ Well, I hope I´ll find out.

Mixed feelings.

I properbly couldn´t have been more lucky with my host family, with the people I´ve met. I´m actually really happy here. Even though my host family is quite strict and religious, I love them already and feel very welcome. But I can´t fight the fact that I miss my mum, and my friends of course. I´ve always been so close to my mum and I really miss her. Every morning I gotta fight against the tears, especially on our way to school because I don´t want Amber, Andrew and Mathew see me cry. They might get it wrong and think I´m not happy here. However, I am! I´m just having a hard time. Do I already feel homesick? I don´t wanna leave here, but I also wanna go home. I guess it´s something in between.
School started three days ago and it´s so exhausting. After 7 classes it´s about 3:15. At 3:30 starts volleyball and goes til 6 o´clock. Then I gotta do whole bunch of homework and eat dinner when I come home and fall into bed. No free time! I really gotta get used to that, maybe that´s the reason for me not feeling so well, since I´m exhausted. Anyway,  I can do this.

Kansas City Chiefs Football Game!!!

Yesterday cheryl, amber, aaron, aaron´s dad David, and I went to the Chiefs football game. The chiefs lost but I didn´t know the team anyway so I had still fun! ;) I might decide for a team by looking at the quarterbacks photos and pick the team who has the cutest :D That´s at least what David suggested. :D Well, I don´t wanna be an outsider so might have no choice but picking the Chiefs !

Volleyball practice

Volleyball & Big Drama

1 week ago I started playing Volleyball. After 2 days my arm were completely bruised and hurted a lot. The volleball practice was the whole week and 3 hours per day, which was pretty exhausting. I met some nice seniors and exchange students and some other students though, who go to Heartland, since the volleyball team is the Heartland team. I won´t play in games anyway I guess. The only things I have to say about my volleball skills are: 1.I´ve never really played "real" volleyball before except like a little little bit in school. 2. The coach looked at me with a desperate face, which should lead one to the result of being: BAD at volleyball :D Never mind, it´s sometimes actually quite fun. And somtimes I hate it....
Except volleyball there´s a lot drama going on here about me loosing things. Some people might laugh right now because this is sooo typical. My host family and me went to Kohles and I was texting with my blackberry in front of the fitting room waiting for Amber. 5 hours later I noticed it was gone!! We drove back and literaly asked every one in this store if they had seen it and no one could give us the answer. It was one of the worst feelings in my llife.... and then we were on our way home and Cheryl called my phone one last time and someone picked up! They had found it at Kohles. So all this drama, and they had already found it all the time? That can´t be true since we called my phone like a 100 times and it´s really loud, so it´s still a mystery :P
One day later, and now listen, I lost a towel at another store. We wanted to go swimming at the Hodges and I took a towel with me. While checking if my phone was still there, because I was afraid of loosing it again, I must have taken the towel out of my pourse in the bathroom at another store. It´s not even my towel ...it´s the costabiles towel. Isn´t that an irony?

Finally arrived!

I finally arrived in Belton and the first night was quite okay. Didn´t get much sleep because of the jetlag but I´m still so happy! My host family is nicer than I´ve ever could expected. I love them already and I feel very welcome in their huge and nice home. Bella their dog is sitting next to me. I´m still a little tired but everyting went well. Except that I lost a leather jacket in Newark. (Such a big airport, where you can loose yourself). Today my hostmum and I wanna go to Heartland Highschool to deal with all the important things to think about before school starts. Amber is working today. The boys are so nice, too. Fed a chicken with Andrew for the first time last night :D I think it will be a great yeat with the Costabiles. ;)
