The first week.!

It's Sunday again and right now I am a whole week in the states. Let's think about what happened...
Tuesday, I was at skyview high to meet with the people of my yearbook class to get used to. They were really nice to me and I met a guy who played football for a long time, it was really fun!
Then an other guy tried to explain me the bus system but I still don't get it.
However after my hostmum picked me up at the school we had a flat tire, so we walked to a friend of her and she gave us a ride.
On Wednesday we picked my hostbrother Dylan up at the airport. He was 5 weeks at his grandparents in Utah.
Actually I don't remember what happened on thursday.
Friday we finally fixed the flat tire and went hiking(picture wont upload) on a waterfall and I bought some postcards.
And on saturday, so yesterday we finally bought a new SIM card for me and I was at forever 21(really fun).
Today we were at the church and Kaitlyn invited me to do something with her, her sister and an japanese exchange student tomorrow. So that's probably all.
At the time I feel really comfirtable with my hostfamily even when I miss my home, my family and my friends.
But thats how it works.!

Finally there

Its my day 2 now. On the evening I arrived my whole hostfamily picked me up and we drove home and I fall asleep. The second day, we were going to church and I met some people from my highschool and after 3 hours of church I was really tired so I slept really early. And today I was at my new school and it was really full. I choosed that I want to be a senior and I recieved my schedule and my ID card.
Really cool info: my hostfamily likes nutella.
The weather over here is really nice and everybody I meet are really nice too.(or they think they speak german-funny thing)
In 1 1/2 week I will have my first day of school and I am really scared for that.
Today in the afternoon I'll went shopping with my hostmum and my hostsiblings.
And I will post sometime after school starts again.

Hostfamily, VBT and Bafög

Okay, finally I recieved my hostfamily( early,though?!) But I start with the Bafög thats a kind of scolarship and I got it. Its not a lot money per month but better than nothing.
Then there were the VBT( some preparing things for the US) at the weekend and I didn't learned that much more but...okay.
And them while this thing my mum called me and told me that I've got an e-mail which says that there is a family for me... I was really shocked. But then I was happy. I have 4 little siblings and normal parents. I'll live near Portland,OR in Vancouver,WA... Yeah!

See U soon

The beginning..

Hello.
I am Rike and I want to stay for an whole year (2014/15) in the USA as an exchange student. My both brothers did it before..but one of them is still there.
In the summer holidays I applied for the PPP,an scolarship for the USA from the german parliament.(down there the german letter)
I hope I'll get it,this would be awesome !
And if I dont get it I have to apply at an other organization,even if its very expensive...I just want it so much.  Maybe you ask why it's so interesting for me. That's why: I love american sports,football and cheerleading are my hobbys,no my life! I want to explore the world,find out more about the diffrent culture, the life,the school and ofcouse I want to meet new people. Now I know some american people and they told me so much cool stuff..I just want to feel it, how it is to stay there,far away from your family. In a new and other life. Thats what I want to know,and what I will do.
If news are coming I'll tell you guys.
This is the beginning of a beautiful adventure
Text me if you have questions!
See you
