March------>>>>----April
After Hawaii I had a lot of make-up work in school and we started to practice track again on the next Monday. My time in that week went pretty much with Homework and a couple of movies with some track practice. We also had our first Track Meet. It was held indoors in MSU, Mankato. The distances were a little different on some races because the length of the track is different indoors. So for example a hundred was a sixty meter race.
The weather has been pretty cold and track practice is not that much fun when it’s so cold out. This week it has gotten a lot better though. We had a day with 70 degrees!! :P
Two weeks ago we went to Mankato and stayed over at another exchange students house. That evening we played tennis, videogames and some other random sports. We also headed for the best Ice-cream place near to New Ulm, Cold stone Creamery! They make like everything that you can create with Ice-cream.
We hanged out at Christian’s( Norwegian Exchange student) friend’s house too. They had been to Finland last summer and showed me some pictures were they stayed etc. I live just right by the houses were they stayed so it was really funny to see the pictures, cool! We saw Minneopa falls which is the next state park from New Ulm Flandrau state park.
We went to rotary club’s banquet too the week after we arrived from Hawaii. It is a banquet for the top 15% in our school. I’m not in it :D, but still we got to go which was really nice. The students who have worked hard during their High School year got nice prices and Diplomas. We also ate a dinner with all the people.
I have been at the cinema a couple of times when our friends have worked there during the week. It’s always fun to do something instead of nothing :D!!
Ida ( a Swedish girl ) had her birthday last weekend. We had a lot of fun at her place and there were many people playing crazy games and having fun. She turned 19 years. We made these little drama skits and it is so fun to make them always!
I visited also Madelia and hanged out with kids from Madelia High School. Madelia is a smaller city just next to New Ulm. It is located maybe 20 minutes from NU.

On sunday we traveled to South-Dakota to see our host brothers recital. He sang for an hour, the songs were from musicals, operas etc. After the concert we went to Nebraska and ate in a restaurant which had a Walleye buffet.
This Week finally it has gotten a little warmer like I said and we have had some tough Track practices!!! It feels kind of crazy that my year is already in half away through April! We are looking forward for all the things to come, prom, track meets, weekends, graduation and just all the fun things that will take place during the last 5 weeks of school.
I got also my Graduation stuff in the mail and sent those to friends and family. Tomorrow is our first outdoor meet in Track. I will run the 100 and 200 race.
