Sorry I haven't got the time to post for a while been busy-ass. I have a new host-family, which is again totally different from my other families. I live a bit closer to town on a lifestyle-blog with a host mum and dad, host sister and brother, a cat and a dog. The family is baptist and goes to church every Sunday which is something very new for me. Also the church is totally different from our Lutheran church which means I'm even more out of my comfort cone there. But I'll get used to it! (or at least I'll try) The family also has a big extended family, which means I've been to a couple of birthday parties of their cousins. I have to say it's an interesting experience to celebrate a birthday of a person you've never met before with people you don't know! The family is very nice and I have a cute pink room, so all good anyway!
I was right when I guessed school would be better this year. Now I'm taking drama, sport&rec, P.E, maths (calculus) and biology and I'm really happy with those choices. Soon after school started I joined Dargaville's swimming club. Even though I'm not competing anymore I like to have something to do after school and it's great to have some exercise. We also had swimming sports at school on the second week and I had so much fun competing after long break! (since I didn't really need to take it seriously) and I won the swimming champion-title of senior girls and did two new records to school, so I actually had a little too much fun! :D The fact that our house won the overall points made the day pretty perfect. I'm also kind of excited to compete at the Northland championships, since I'll get a chance to meet some competitive swimmers there, even though I know I won't be really good after my 1,5 years brake from swimming.
I've been to Auckland couple of times during these past weeks. We went to help my host family's oldest daughter and son to move flats and on our way back we went to Jump which is basically a room full of trampolines! last week I was at Auckland with two other exchange students from Dargaville, and we went to a scary house Spookers and a Doctor Who concert.
Last three days we had a buddy-camp with school. It was really nice but I didn't get much sleep in a tent!
Here's some pics for you ;)

Kia ora!
Kiirettä on pitänyt viimeisen kuukauden niin kovasti etten ole ehtinyt edes blogia päivittää. Uusi host-perhe on kiva, vaikka baptistisessa kirkossa käyminen sunnuntaisin tuntuukin oudolta ja aina on jonkun serkun synttärit! Koulu sujuu hyvin ja oppiaineet on paremmat kuin viimevuonna. Aloitin treenaamisen Dargavillen uimaseuran kanssa, ja voitin koulun uintikilpailut ja pistin siinä sivussa pari ennätystä uusiksi. Pari kertaa olen ehtinyt Aucklandiinkin, ensin host-perheen kanssa muuttoavuksi perheen vanhimmalle pojalle ja tyttärelle ja toisen kerran kahden muun vaihtarin kanssa kauhu-taloon ja Doctor Who konserttiin. Palasin juuri kolmen päivän leiriltä koulun kanssa. Leiri oli kiva, mutta teltassa ei paljoa nukuttu! Lyhyestä virsi kaunis, katselkaapa kuvia ;)
ps. leivoin tänään pullia, mutta taaskaan eivät nousseet ;(
