Christmas and New Years

I spent Christmas with a different family this year, it was weird but nice at the same time. I am back with my host family now after a week with the other family. Today is New Years Eve, I am going out tonight with some friends to celebrate. Lost the fantasy match, and yeah, that about sums up what has been going on.

Fantasy League

I had not been really paying attention to my Fantasy League, and somehow I ended up in the losers championship. I destroyed my competition last week, so now I am playing for 5th place. Not a good place, but still, better than 6th. Sean is going down

Christmas

This year I am spending Christmas with a temporary family because mine will be on vacation. This is not the first weird Christmas I will have had though. Last year my house burnt down around Christmas time and all of my presents went with the house. Christmas was not very merry last year. This will make two weird Christmases is a row.

Worst Day of the Week

Friday. Usually the best day of the week. After a long day of work or school you finally get a long break, the weekend, and hang out with friends. Things however are not so bright over here. Friday. The worst day of the week. Due to the fact that I have school on Saturday here Friday is now the worst day. Every week I think, "Oh, today is Friday, no school tomorrow". Only to then later realize that I was wrong again. You would think that I would have gotten used to school every Saturday, but I have not.  Friday is a disappointment and the longest school day. Literally the worst day of the week.

Penny Board

Oh how I love my penny board. It brings me to school and back every day. I can use it to get places faster when I am late. But sometimes... when other people use it.... it can be a problem. FOR AN EXAMPLE! Today, was an average day, wake up, breakfast, ride to school, have school, and then when I was leaving school I waited for a friend, One of my classmates had a great idea of using the board in the hallway. As you can imagine this did not go well, he slipped and the board went flying into another classrooms door. The teacher of that class comes out and takes the board. I of course am furious. I yell at my classmate to go and get my board back. After five minutes of laughter the classmates go and try to get it. But the teacher isn't having any of it. She says we have to wait for her to pack up and then after we go to the principal. I am overjoyed now. I yell at them some more and we wait together. Finally after another ten minutes the teacher is ready. We head down to the office while, meanwhile I am staring at my friend and mouthing words in English, he didn't understand, but it made me feel better. So we get to the principals office, and what do you know, she isn't there. SO, we wait again for about 15 minutes. She finally arrived and I thought we were all going to go in, nope. Only the teacher, which seems a little outlandish. Anyway, after waiting for the meeting to end, the principal calls us in. Talks to us in Italian, some of which I understood. Then we follow here to the front office place, where she calls over the secretary. She explains the situation and the secretly says in Italian, "In school, what is this? america?" and then the principal tells her I am american and she starts laughing. Like, bruh, that's not allowed in the US either. So every morning I am supposed to bring my board to the front office, leave it there, and pick it up at the end of the day. Thank you. I love this. Awesome. Even after my classmate explained it was his fault they still make me put it there. SWEEEEEEEET
