The winter break is just about to end. Soon we will be back at school. It's with both happiness and sadness. I look very much forward to seeing my friends and starting practice again, but it also means I’m officially(正式地) half way through the exchange year. With school starting, there are new things to try out and experience. For example, I’m starting a new sport, Track. It’s similar to Cross Country, which I did from August till November.
Being here for half a year now, I can easily tell the differences between my two schools. The hardest or most different part for me was to have the same schedule every day here. Honestly, I prefer to have different classes every day, as I did in my home country. However, I have fallen in love with the Friday football games. Football is one of my favorite sports now. Before I came,I knew nothing about it Now I love it, especially to watch it with my host parents. I have also been so lucky to go to two college football games.
Before I left school in December, I had a couple of tests called Mid-term Test. They all went pretty smooth, mostly because I didn’t have too many hard classes. My favorite class was English, and also my hardest. Personally I really liked English, where I could write essays (文章),challenge writing skills and improve English talking.
Only four days of winter break is left. A part of me wants to be on a break forever, and the other part expects to get started again, start a new sport and see my friends and classmates.

When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade, she came to me with a problem. “Marcy hates me！” she cried “Because Kathy is my friend, too. She wants me to be her friend and nobody else's. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too！”
Oh! I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess (困境), when suddenly an idea came to me.
Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket, This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow，so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn't do for yourself. I did everything you couldn't do on your own.”
She nodded.
“Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.”
She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.”
“Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with things only you can do.”
She looked up at me and said, “I understand. There are some things that I have to do by myself because they are in my basket.”

I woke up this morning and it was harder to get out of bed than usual. I didn't sleep well because I was very nervous and anxious. I had many questions. What should I wear What should I put in my schoolbag What if no one talks to me I finally fell asleep around 5:45 a.m. and my alarm(闹钟) started going off at 6. Well it was time for me to start my first day of senior high school.
My first class wasn't too bad. I had to listen to my English teacher and take notes about the important topics, but it was a pretty relaxing class. My other classes that followed were pretty much the same. Not too many organizations had formed yet from what I could see but then again, lunch hadn't started yet. Thinking about all of this made me wonder where I would sit during lunchtime. I was hoping I wouldn't feel too lonely and would find a good table to sit at and enjoy my lunch.
I chose a pizza and an orange soda. I was thankful that the food didn't taste terrible. More importantly, I managed to find some new friends to sit with so I wouldn't have that in my mind for the rest of the day. I was just happy that I had a great lunchtime.
My first day at school was almost over when I felt a tap on my shoulder in Chemistry class. It was a girl named Samantha asking if she could read my textbook with me because she left hers at home. I told her yes and invited her to sit next to me. When the bell sounded for the end of the class, we exchanged numbers to hang out after school. I felt like my day couldn't have gone any more smoothly. I just had one more class to get through and I would be done for the day.
