In the morning Raquel and me went to the school where my american mother works, a kindergarden!:)

Children were so nice!!We taught them some words in spanish and we played with them! But we only spent three hours in their school because today was release day and classes finished at 10:30.

After, we went to the High School and at 5… CELTICS match!

What do you think about american families?

- Hello Fatima!

- Hi Laura!

- What differences have you seen between American and Spanish schools?

- The timetable and the subjets are very different. The students don’t use bags for their books; they have lunch at school and their classes last more than an hour (80 minutes).

- Ok, and what about the families?

- The children practise a lot of sports and the parents both work.

- Have you got used to American timetable?

- More or less, they have lunch and dinner earlier than us (in Spain) and thay also go to bed at night and wake up in the morning very early!

- And do you think their meals are healthy?

- I think they eat too much fat. They should eat more fish and vegetables and stop eating so much meat!

- I agree with you Fatima, thanks, goodbye!

- Goodbye!

Helloo!

Today has been a rainy day!and..nothing new! The classes today: spanish with Fran Olano, maths, gym and history.

In the evening, Xuxi and me have been watching another volleyball match :) I love this game!

In the afternoon I saw the Legally blonde musical in the TV!

It’s about a rich young girl whose boyfriend goes to study to Harvard, he brokes with her because he prefers the intelligent girls. She wants him to notice that she is not a stupid blonde… 

Really funny!:)

Hello everybody!

Today has been the second day in the High School. Kristen and me have had to be at school at 7:15 because she had a meeting of the student council.

The first class was spanish (at last!a class where I understood everything!). There I have helped some students to write a dialogue.

The second class was maths, my host sister had an examn.

Then, Kristen had band! I think is great to have this class in the school.

And the last class was History (like everyday)!

We (Xuxi and me) spent all the afternoon seeing voleyball matchs of the Milford Teams.

It was amazing!

 When we were going back to home.. we could see the gardens of all the houses in Milford…smiling pumpkins, scarecrows, and a lot of Halloween adornments … here they really live Halloween! 

Bye!!
