Volleyball night

Hello avid readers (if you’re out there) I know its been two weeks since my last post but again not much is been going on. Last Sunday I ate fondue at my host sister’s apartment with the rest of the family. I have now realized that: 1. I’m REALLY out of shape and 2. I can understand my host family’s Swiss German when they talk slowly. Which is great because I am going on my 5th month and normally it takes longer than that just to learn German. School is the same but now I’m starting to have more fun. I can tease people now in German so I’m back to my old self (my class isn’t too pleased) one of my favourite acts is to act like I don’t understand what they mean when they explain themselves, and also when they explain themselves in English.

Last night was one of the highlights of my exchange but I’m 10209341098413948% tired from it. It’s called volleyball night. My class told me about it, but I misinterpreted what they meant by “night”. Apparently going from 7 to 10 or 11 is dumb. We played from 8 until 3 in the morning. It was a lot of fun and really funny. When you played competitively and then you play for fun you pretty much goof off. We played 8 games, won five and lost three. One of the games we won by one point and I got the point by serving backwards through my legs, the other team wasn’t very impressed and someone almost took a swing at me but I thought it was really funny.

Before we went for volleyball night we went to Konstanz which is in Germany. We went to a Chinese buffet and ate wayyy too much but it was a lot of fun and I figured out again that I can understand a lot of what my class says in Swiss German, which is awesome.

Sorry if this post is short and doesn’t make a lot of sense. I got home at 3:30 and woke up at 7. I also had to sleep on the couch because my sisters opened my windows so that my room would be “fresh” forgetting to close them when it was raining made it “wet”.


Stay tuned for more adventures in Switzerland. J
