update #2 - high school orientation

Days count: 23

So, I had to pick my classes and my grade a few days ago, and today was orientation in the high school. I'll attend 11th grade (Junior year) but I had to choose. My host sister will be attending 10th grade (Sophomore year) and my host brother also the 11th. The school seems huge to me, I'm sure I will mess up to find all my classes in the first few days, that makes me feel nervous… 
My schedule is Aerobics in the first period, Algebra II in the second, Biology in the third, U.S. History in the fourth, Mixed Chorus in the fifth and English in the last one. I'm thinking about trying out for the girls basketball team or for cross country.  Today was the official Orientation day, so I went there with my 2 host siblings & my host mum. We had to take a picture for our student ID card & the yearbook, get our books from the library & stuff like that. I met some other students, they seem all very nice. School starts on Wednesday the 17th & I'm getting nervous.


We've been on a camping trip from Monday till Thursday evening at Ventura beach. It was kinda cold, but great fun. We were sleeping in a trailor & we were on some shopping trips & at the beach. I feel like I'm getting better in English but I'm still really bad. We were riding our bikes a lot, especially to Starbucks in Ventura Downtown or to the pier.
