Time at the 75

I didn't do anything exciting this week but it still was a lot of fun! Monday ... We talked about Monday already.  Tuesday I went to Aldi, which I thought was supposed to be like a Walmart, I was wrong.  Anas (from Germany) insisted that we go there because they are everywhere in Germany and he is used to them and promised it would be cheaper.  It really was a lot cheaper but the store was the size of a McDonalds and the produce was not very good.  They did have box's of cereal for 99 cents though.  But they didn't have any broccoli.  I would go there again but just not for produce.

Later that night Natalie cooked a stir fry for all of us.  She got graded on a scale of 1-10 with compliments and area's for opportunity.  Next week it will be Sebastian, Anas, and Ahmad's turn to cook and they will get graded on their performance as well.  We have one cook off a week and whoever wins gets treated to an out to dinner meal (we might change the winning prize tho, it will be discussed over the next week).  There are three teams:  Natalie & Sharnie, Hayley and I, and a group of three Anas, Ahmad and Sebastian.  I am pretty sure that Hayley and I are going to win because we are the best cooks together!

Wednesday and Thursday were just school and gym.  Thursday I ran my first 5K (3.2 miles) and I am going to try to increase either the time or distance every week.  Thursday was my favorite night because we played Scategories with Ahmad (Saudi), Anas (Germany) and then Natalie, Sebastian and I.  Playing scategories with two guys that are still working on their English is probably the only way to play.  I wish I could just explain how funny this is! I laughed so hard all night that I think I got the best ab work out I have had since I have been here, haha! Ahmad wasn't doing that good for awhile so when we were playing we rolled a "B" and he was so excited because he thought he got the categories "School Supplies", and "Breakfast Foods" (both had to start with the letter "B").  So we rolled a B and we go down the list and name things on our list that start with a B.   So Ahmad was just excited because he thought he got a lot that round, well once the timer went off and we went through the categories Ahmad had, "BEN" haha, "a Ben that you write with" he said.  He was actually REALLY excited that he got breakfast foods also because he yelled "BANCAKE" right when we said who got breakfast foods, hahahah! it was the funniest thing E-V-E-R1! (Obviously more funny in real life).  He thought he really got those points and we had to explain to him about B's and P's.  The "G" and "J" lists were just as interesting for both Anas and Ahmad as well.  It was by far the funnest game ever.  I hope I can convince them to play again soon!

Anyway, that was my Thursday night fun.  After that I just went to bed early because I wanted to have a good workout Friday before I came to Alice's house.  Now I am at Alice's families house and we are having a lot of fun.  I took some pictures today of what we did and I will post them later on.  We went to the Bundaburg Rum factory and got a tour and it was awesome! I'll tell ya all about it later and post up pictures.

Good bye for now!

P.S. Sorry if you don't understand the Scategorie game part, that just means that you have to play the game because it is the funnest game and its my favorite!!
