Hello everyone!
Welcome back on this section! If you are here it means that you are interested in how things are going here. Well, the answer is awesomely!
Today is 22nd of October. That means we're on HOLIDAYS! Yep, we're in Half Term Holidays, which means a week without school and teorically without homework!
I don't know if you are interested in places and travels, probably yes, so I thought you'd like to see the picture I took last week in Plymouth. For the one of you that don't know what Plymouth is, well, it's a city, I think the biggest in Devon. It's really good, I enjoyed every single moment I was there. You can get there with the Stagecoach Gold, which is some sort of luxury bus! I costs £7.70 but it was worth it! Once you get there, get ready, because the city is really big. We went to this cafè which I really liked. I don't know how to describe it but it was like a cave inside and the food was really good.
After that we went to visit a part of the harbour. The most beautiful thing about Plymouth is that it's between two rivers and its harbour is something huge! You know, Plymouth is where Navy, Air force and Commando are.It's a really important place, and something really suprising happened there! The MAYFLOWER sailed from Plymouth to colonise America!
Well, after all these news that literally shocked me, we went to the shopping mall. It was really big, but I liked it for its shops! There was Primark, Strabucks, Tiger and everythin I always loved!
Well, I don't want to bore you so I'll leave you the photos here :)

Now I'd like to talk a bit more about why I chose to come here and how I'm feeling right now!
If you don't know what to do, well, I'd say GO! Leave for this experience because it's really great! No regrets. I just want to say, it's not easy, when they say "Are you sure you can do it?" I always answered yes, of course, but now I realise that this experience needs people who are really strong and that really want to do it. It was not easy the first time and now I change mood more than a pregnant woman. I don't know if I made my point, but I just want to say that the homesickness is always behind you, like a monster, ready to hit you whenever you are weaker. But there are some days where you feel awesome, like nothing could destroy you, you feel loved and you feel in the right place for a living. Before coming here I had lots of family problems, and this helped me finding the right way, try to stop thinking about the things that don't matter really. Helped me become an adult and stopped being a teenager, with all their problems. I had to face real problems that could seem stupid but when you are alone with no one who could help you you don't know what to do, then you have to think slowly, calm yourself, and solve the problem.
This experience is an amazing opportunity to test yourself in the real world.
Ok, maybe I'll stop talking stupid things like those. I hope that you liked this post, and that it's been useful. Now I've got to go, but we'll see soon I promise!
I'll finish with saying what I've got planned for this week. Today I should go in Darthmouth for the food festival with my host mum and the norvegian guy, then we'll have dinner with the daughter of our host mum. On Sunday I'll probably go sailing with an host mum friend, and on Monday I'll go to the bowling for the monthly meeting with educatius. Then I don't know what I'll do but we'll probably go visiting Cornwall to see where King Arthur was born!
Well, I hope to be able to write again soon!
Have a nice week!
Luke :D
