School Vacation!

Two weeks ago we had the whole week off from school. It was a really nice break from the long hours we have to be there. Before the vacation even started I had begun planning every day.

During the weekend, I stayed at home mostly and hung out with my family. We all went out to eat muscles and salmon.. Mmm(: It was a dinner for the people that had helped during the Levensloop fundraisers.

Monday was probably the most fun of the whole vacation. We had a big get together with AFS again. It was awesome. We got to see everyone we wanted to from the first camp. I had to take the train there, thank goodness I went with some friends because I wouldn´t have known what to do, haha. We all met in Leuven and said hi to everyone again after so long. We then split into groups and went around the city looking for certain buildings or statues. Once we were there, we completed a task and then ran to the next place. The catch was, each team had a balloon. If another team pops your balloon, you pretty much lose. Lets just say.. my team didn´t exactly win. (: After the run around the city, we went back to our regular AFS groups with the people from our area and went out to eat dinner. Now comes the fun part! We all went and got changed and went to a club in the city where AFS had arranged everything. We were there from 10pm-3:30am. I was sooooo exhausted after that. The music was really good and It was so nice dancing with people I hadn´t seen since       the beginning of my exchange.

 

On Thursday I went to Antwerpen with my friend, Aysu. It was too bad the weather wasn´t great, but we went and saw some really nice places around the city like statues and beautiful buildings. We also went to a beautiful art museum. Sad thing was, after we got past the first floor, the power was messed up and the doors wouldn´t open anymore. I didn´t do it I swear!! Thankfully we were able to see the modern art and ancient art sections.

On Friday, I went and spent the whole day with my friend from school, Ellen. I went to her house and ate dinner with her and her really nice family. After, we sang karaoke, so much fun!Then, I went and watched her dance practice for a play she´s doing in a little less than a month, can´t wait to see it! Then, went met up with a few of her friends and we went out to a really nice bar and danced for hours.
