Last weeks

Hello!
Time is flying: 2 weeks ago, I realised I am here already for more than 2 months. It's crazy. I haven't seen my family or friends for more than an entire summer vacation. Now that there are only 2 weeks left, I unbelievably long to see them again. I'm tired of feeling alone: I want to be again with someone who knows me. Here, people can be friendly or helpful, but I always am afraid I do something wrong and that they don't like me because of that. They don't know me and I've learned it takes a while to get to know me. So, maybe if I would stay for a year, it would work out, but I don't. I'm only here for 3 months and there's not much time left anymore.
2 weeks ago, there was an International Dinner for people of my chapter. I made 'Stoofvlees' to represent my country. Also the other meals were very good!
Friday, the 17th of november, there was no school. It's a special date for Czech Republic. In the year 1939, students of Prague protested because the student Jan Opletal was shot during a demonstration against the nazis. As a result, they closed all schools and universities in Prague and send thousand of students to concentration camps. On the 17th of november, nine students were executed. But also very important is that exactly 50 years later on the same date, students again held a protestation against communism and from that day, it was banned. My music teacher told me that a remarkable fact was that no one died during this protest.
So, i had a long weekend again and I went to visit some villages with my family.
Saturday,  me and the other trimester students will visit Prague and then I will have to make my bags to end this exchange in Brussels camp!

    Liefste Hannah, uw afs-uitwisseling is voor ons allemaal een groot avontuur geweest, niet in het minst voor jou zelf! We zijn supertrots op jou dat jij dit hebt aangedurft en we zijn er zeker van dat je heel veel zult hebben opgestoken van jouw "ervaring"! Maar nu zijn we ook de dagen aan het aftellen tot je weer thuis bij ons bent...Dikke knuffel van je mama, papa, kleine zus (die je ook mist!) en je loopmaatje, Jamie!

Hey everyone! The last four days were less 'boring' for me. Friday evening, I received the news that the welcome picnic would unfortunately not take place due to the bad weather conditions. I was quite dissapointed, but they are already looking for a new date. Instead of going to the picnic, I have spent some time with my family. First, we visited Elbow. It's a small, but pretty village where films like James Bond were shoot (that's what my host father told me). It has also an ancient look (like I've already mentioned before in a previous post). Then we made a walk through the forrest where we were looking for mushrooms. First, I didn't know which ones were edable and which ones weren't. But after some time, I was able to find some. That same evening we went to Karlsberg where a light festival was hold. It's touristic, but can also be very cosy. In the evening, it made me think of cities like Rome. The light festival itself was also very well done.

Friday morning, my adventure had begun!  Me, my mum and my sister went to the airport where I would leave at 10am . So at 8.30am, we were drinking a coffee or a fruit juice when my sister suddenly saw my flight was delayed! We rebooked and my new departure time was at 16.30pm. I didn't like it at all! I was ready to say goodbye, and then it all changed. We decided to visit Brussels and eat French fries for the last time. After all, it was a nice way to end my summer in Belgium. We went back to the airport and after still an hour of retardation,  I could finally leave! The flight itself was not that long, but I was getting a little bit afraid of what would happen next. But when I arrived, that feeling quickly changed.  I had heard that Czech  people could be really distant , but they instantly hugged me.  Normally, I'm really shy, but when I am nervous, I can actually be very talkactive.  And it was the perfect moment for that to happen! I like talked to people of Hong Kong,

Here I am again to disturb you with a short summary of my little 'adventures'. Let's start to say that the weeks after my previous post weren't the most difficult ones for me, but certainly the most confusing. First, I had (like I said) a camp. There was unbelievable much fun: we played games, talked about our families and school, learned things to eachother about our countries,... etc. I felt relieved that there were people that felt the same way I did. Sometimes, you would forget that and you would think you're the only one in the world who's doing this. But at the other side, it was also hard for me. Most students stay for a year and I realised I would propably never experience this exchange fully. I simply don't have enough time to do that. So, sunday I came home in the evening and the next morning, I immediately went to school again and I felt bad. It was so weird: I wanted to stay longer, to get more time to get used here, but at the same time, I wan
