Swimming!

So today was an adventure. I went swimming in the school pool with Emily. It was really cool. We were a little nervous because we had never used the school pool before and we didn't know how. But it was easy to figure out. It is free for students, so all we had to do was buy a swim cap (you are not allowed to swim without one). We changed in the girls locker room (which is surprisingly not very separated from the boys locker room) and jumped into the pool. We swam for a while (about 30 min), I tried to teach Emily how to do breast stroke...I am not sure I was a very good teacher. But it was fun. 

Ok, so that was yesterday. (I know, I know it says today, but I started this post yesterday and am finishing it today). 

After swimming I came home to find Gabi and a classmate at my house. (Gabi's classmate, not mine.) We had agreed that she could do her project at my house since her mom wouldn't let her do it at theirs, but who knew she was going to show up so early. So I had fun distracting them from their project while I did absolutely none of my homework :-) 

Today I went to school. I know, surprised aren't you. Nothing too exciting happened. We didn't do anything in Math or Biology...and in Investigation we watched funny videos. I got my test returned to me in Social Studies (you don't even want to know what I got on it) and I took a test in Philosophy. (I probably didn't do too well on it, because I didn't understand half the questions, and 3 of the questions I answered in English.) Then I had gym. We didn't do too much. We just did a few fitness test things (jumping into a sand pit, throwing a heavy ball, and running a short distance) and then I played basketball for a while until Christina got hit in the face with the ball and I had to take her to the nurse. So Christina and I sat and watched the rest of the game, while I simultaneously helped this girl with her English homework. (I think the blond hair is a "English tutor" beacon.) 

I don't know what's going on in my life for the rest of the week. Next tuesday we are going to Mindo with Xplorer (which would have been fun anyway but it is extra fun since we get to skip school). I think I might go swimming with Emily again tomorrow. 

Chao,
