Hi everybody!:) This is my first journal in my life) so don't judge me strict haha:) Here're some of my memories!

I remember my first day in Florida. Remember the plane was down and I saw a bunch of small lakes, the view from the plane was amazing, but honestly I thought that Orlando is more industrial city. When I got off the plane and entered inside the building of MCO terrific view from the window! There was very nice! sunset, palm trees, Fantan! very nice airport, and I immediately concluded that Florida is one of the most beautiful state in America!

I met my host family, and Scott, girls painted a beautiful banner for me, it's very touched! before arrival, I knew almost nothing about my family, because I have not had the opportunity to know something about them. Therefore I did not immediately recognize them. I was met by the host mother, Karen, sister s Emily and Christine, and Viktoria, she is an exchange student from Switzerland, I was thinking that she will live with me, but it turned out she just came along with Scott. It was very pleasent to meet her first. I have long waited for my luggage and when I got I was very surprised to find that all the handles on the bag are broken, it was very surprising to me that in 3 hours this happened to my suitcase, and then we went to the parking and I felt summer weather in Florida! it was awful! as if I was in the steam room, there was humidity!

Then we came home. I live in a very large and beautiful house! I could not confide, my room is so beautiful and big! home, I met with host father and sister Mari and brother William, and with pets: the dog Max and cat Clair. Then we went to a place called Steak and Shake, guess what I was eating? yes hamburger! and milkshake, it was very tasty.The next day, immediately began my adventures. I met with another sister, Rebecca! but first I took i her for Emily, as they are both redheads and freckles.

In the morning we went to the church to the play. We were there the whole day. I met with nicest girls Erin and Hannah, they are twins and my sisters' best friends and we are going at the same school. After the play we went to McDonald's to.
