Recently I learned in school that every speech, every story or every narrative has to have a title. So with this figured out I guess I should try to look for a title every time I write this blog. And I shouldn't just look for it, I should also put it.

With that being said, let's just call this episode "an unusual long blog, timewise" 
(I couldn't come up with anything better)

First time I went to a regular Campus Life meeting. It was actually a lot of fun and I got to know some new people, which I always like to do.
The Campus Life meeting was about family, so we talked in smaller groups about what our families look like and so on. It actually got me thinking a little bit since I am in a unusual situation with having a host family here in the USA.
We also had a special forensics class last week. The county Coroner came for a visit and showed us how he works and presented a case he worked on a bunch of years ago. It was an interesting presentation and I actually learned some things about his job and how he works on cases.
Also I finally went to a hospital for my ankle and as they figured out with x-rays, it's only a sprain and will just take some time to heal. It's still annoying though.
The next day we had another fog delay. It's absolutely ridiculous that we delay school by two hours only because there is a bit of fog around.
As Thursday came around I actually remembered a dream for the first time I am here. Well it was a confusing nightmare, but that's not the interesting thing about this. The interesting thing about it is, that the dream strangely was in english. Just another sign that english becomes more and more natural to me by speaking it every day.
We also had a special event on Friday in school, the so called "family Friday". So all the VNT students came together in the gym and we played a bunch of games. I didn't even get which grade won the competition but hey, at least we did something besides just sitting around and watching YouTube. We also got our grades for all the classes. Mine actually look pretty good, besides a "C" in calculus I have "A"s in all the other classes. I can live with that, I mean I am not really trying to get a 100% everywhere.
The weekend, since I wasn't able to go to the wrestling tournament, Karolee and I made a trip up north to Frankenmuth in Michigan. We met her sister in law and her daughter and did some christmas shopping, my absolute favorite activity :) But all in all it was a good trip, even though it was a long drive.  I also took benefit of the opportunity of eating a smoores crepe. It wasn't even that good, the chocolate-banana crepe was far better.
With that week finished we ran back into a regular day on Monday, but it wasn't an exactly regular Monday. The Football Banquet took place, definitely ending my american football carer in the US. We ate a bunch of delicious foods, an amazing chocolate cake with some caramel in it was my absolute favorite. We got our letters and I can now order a jacket since I earned a Varsity letter :) I am pretty excited about this.
After everybody was honored and the MVP's and other special players announced we took some pictures and I am glad that I was part of this team. I really had a great time playing and this final event was a nice finish to it all.
The next day I learned a new english word, well this really seems not interesting at all, but if the word is "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", yeah you better read it again and try to pronounce it, then it can become sort of interesting. It actually just means really good.
And now, let's just jump to Thursday or thanksgiving. We went to Marion to see more of the family and I had the pleasure of eating the worlds best mac&cheese, it really is amazing. Also I got to know more people of my new family and that is always a great and fun thing to do.
On our way back to Huntington we drove through the light park in Marion. I don't know what it is called, but it's basically a big outdoor show with a bunch of cool light installations you can either drive or walk through. It was pretty neat :)
Then on Friday Mike and I went down to Indianapolis to the Lucas Oil stadium because the football state finals took place and the high school he went to played. It sure was an amazing experience sitting in that ginormous stadium even though there were no pros playing. It sure was a fun trip though even though Eastbrook lost the game.
I thing that is about all I have to say about the past two weeks. 
Hopefully you all have a stress free Christmas time coming up starting with the 1st Advent today...
