average week......a lot of homesickness....a lot of jealousy towards incredibly skinny well dressed canadian girls (lmao im weird).....a gas leak at school...and i finished it all off with dying my hair :)
homesickness-really miss having people there that i know care for me cos i dont feel that here. im currently having some problems with my host mum (she doesnt know about it though, its just like she does all these things that annoy me or offend me etc but i have to keep on being nice and polite) and also with build up to xmas i keep thinking what itll be like to not spend xmas in nz, but with a different family. i think ive sorted that though by thinking of it as experiencing something new rather than something im missing out on.
jealousy-long story easily summed up as all the girls here are really hot. they look like they only eat salad and exercise frequently when infact they eat chocolate and hot fries and can hardly do sit ups.....and they have amazing style....like they have a top hollywood stylist hidden in their wardrobe. so from that my lil green monster came out but instead of being bitchy bout it im trying to not be so vain and stuck to being lil ol me :) (but it doesnt seem to be working cos i havent snatched me a canadian boy yet....hmmm)
gas leak-some kid thought it would be funny to turn the gas on in the chemisrty room at luch time...wasnt funny cos we had to stand outside in 6 degree weather in our inside clothes starving to death cos we had to leave food etc in the cafeteria. no fun. but funny cos the fire trucks came and they were so american and the firemen were hot too :p
my hair-had a bit of fun with it and now its brow with big caramel streaks...very cool except the cut is a tad too 80s for me. oh well ill just go with it...
very random blog, i know, but ive got no school today so ive got plenty of time for a whole lot of nothing.

Three things:
-Quit the double posting
-Post a pic of the new do
-Relish being yourself overseas, if there's one thing that you've got going for you that the others don't - it's being a Kiwi, and that makes you exotic. Being from New Zealand is an incredibly valuable commodity overseas, and it'll open so many more doors than looking hot will.
In short, there's more good connotations and stereotypes with Kiwis than there are with good looking Candaians.
Plus, being Kiwi is attractive unto itself - beauty is from within.
Kiwis, however, cannot spell.
are you refering to me or you....eitha way i dnt care dats wat spell cheks 4!
just to keep being geeky and commenting on my own blog...the whole kiwi thing doesnt really work cos everyone thinks nz is in europe :)so ill go with trying to be like a hot canadian but it doesnt seem to be working cos i ate half a box of chips ahoy for breakfast :P
Hi Amy -
Christmas away does suck a little - (the 'care packages' don't =) hint hint Mum and Dad) but try to cheer up it might be the only one you get to spend with your host family.
Sounds like your Host Mum needs a talking to - do you know your support person? You're not her English teacher. Try to establish "English time".
And as for the "Hot" thing - I wore cargo pants to school one day and was asked why I was wearing boys' clothes (!!!) It's just different. Not better not worse. (how AFS of me)
Anyhow - hang in there!
Adele
