Well, I just wrote out a long blog post about my first month here in Switzerland and it was deleted. So here we go again.
The start:
My first flight from Slo to San Fran was delayed, so I missed my connecting flights. The man at the desk was soft in the head and not much help. I ended up switching airports from London to Frankfaurt. I also had to change airlines. Insted of printing me out a ticket the man had the gall to give me a scribled piece of paper hand written insted. grrrr. My mom had to email my family to tell them of my delay but i had not clue if they would see it in time.and I had no way to contact them because i had no phone and no computer.Then San Fran to Germany my carryon bag broke. joy. That flight was 12 hrs. I watched movies and tv provided but could not sleep. In Frankfaurt I was alone, confused, scared, and was carrying my broken carryon. Flight to Zurich was not bad. Once landed I could not fingure out where to get my lugage. Once I found it (while carrying my broken carryon) one of the bag``s zipper was broken and clothes flooding out. With the help of some strangers I managed to get both 50lb bags off the strip. so there I stood. two 50lb bags, one broken carryon, a backpack, and NO FAMILY. I couldnt see them anywhere. I started to panick alittle if you want to know the honast truth. With much struggle I got my three bags on a trolly and desided to wait outside.
Right outside there they were! I was so relieved!
Since then, I have had two weeks with my great host sister who we just said goodbye to as she went to Argentia for her exchange. I have attended some family gatherings, and started my language course. This friday is my last day, thursday is the big test, friday is presentaions. Alot of pressure. I have made friends with the exchange students from my class. (Shout out to Holly and Emily) and the others as well.and I will miss them after this week because I have to go join my real school in a different town.
My family is amazing, the country is amazing, and I am very happy to be here.
I have been on hikes, done a smidge of travel,and taken pictures which I have yet discovered how to upload haha.
oh, for the first three weeks or so, I did not have a cell phone. i was rejected by the company and was called a ``liabitiy`` obviously a bad translation on the sellers part. THEN after the first week or so my debit card was locked. I had no idea untill a week later. that was scary!!!! I was down to 100 francs. haha. but it works now.
It is a bummer I cant tell you evrything but I think that is too much for one post. so here is where I start. more to come. :)
