Bloggertimeee

Since this might be one of the last days of my life, I found that it was time to blog again. School is starting in 3 days and I am getting so nervous that I don't know if I am going to survive haha. What will happen? Will I lock myself up in my locker or will some creepy Pirate eat me? Choke myself in choir class or get some serious brain damage in algebra? Just kidding, I will be alright. Not saying that I'm not enjoying these last three days without any worries.

The last weeks have been all about soccer. Soccer soccer soccer. It's clear to see that the Americans are more fanatic than anybody else. I'm lucky to be going to a school that accepts all the girls trying out for the soccer team, but it's not like they wil be easy on us because or level is not that high. Soccer lasts until around November and it feels like they want to get us on the National team before that - but how hard it may be sometimes, outside in the desert with temperatures reaching up to 45 degrees celsius every single day - I am loving it!
The team is amazing, the coaches are really nice and it just feels good to be working out again and doing something useful during my day. Today we had our first game, but the exchange students didn't get to play yet, long story, not important. I did go there to watch and the team didn't do too good (we were playing the varsity team of Virging Valley.. one day we will beat them though) but still it was fun to see!
Tonight there's another game in Mesquite but I'm not going. I'm not allowed to play anyway (I probably won't be until the game on tuesday).. and it's this or WATCHING MY FIRST AMERICAN FOOTBALL GAME EVER! I am so excited! Our football team is playing home against some school from somewhere in Utah.. I don't care who they are, I don't even understand the whole American football thing, but I will find out tonight! Can't wait!

Just one more thing that you guys need to know about; a few days ago I spent my first official day in Vegas! Wow! Linda drove Caro, Maren, Max and me up to the Fashion Show Mall, a mall on the strip. It was huge. IT WAS PERFECT! Seriously, if you ever want to go shopping, Vegas is not only good for visiting Casinos and creating hangovers, believe me. I bought some stuff and was out of money pretty fast (surprising). We were planning on walking on the Strip before Linda would pick us up, but the mall was somewhat bigger than we expected it to be, so when I was just about to buy a bikini we had to leave. We asked Linda if we could go and get some dinner somewhere (we hadn't had time for that either) and instead of some road restaurant we were thinking about, she asked if we would like to go to the Hard rock cafe on the strip.. well... YEAH! It was so amazing, the music was so loud and amazing, the staff was so funny and they had the most amazing guitars and costumes in their restaurant.. Believe me, the Hard rock cafe in Amsterdam is nothing!

After that we saw some more of the strip from out of the car.. Oh we saw the big watershow! So amazing.. Had the time of my life!

I gotta go get ready for a party now, there's an EF party tomorrow and they want us to make some traditional food from our home country. I had no idea what to make because Dutch food is disgusting, so I decided to make 'Appelflappen'. I'm not going to try to translate this.. it's something with apple haha. I'm excited for the party, just not for making those things.. I'll probably mess up but I'll try!

I really need to start doing something now.. next post will be about school!

Help
me

help!

Haha, love,
Cille
