Rotary Exchange Student Jasmine's Spot

 

This week have been quite busy
Wednesday I went to a youth group meeting called elevate, it was really cool and one of my friends from school were speaking, she was awesome. 

Thursday we had all been excited for, leadership day, it probably wasn’t so much the leadership, more likely the fact that we got to wear mufti clothes. We met in a bit later than usual and after a lovely, but very wet day, we stayed a bit after school.

On Friday, I went to a friend’s house, where we tried and failed at watching a Lord of the Rings marathon (extended versions). We got through one, and half of the second one until we had to give up, with it we had cookie dough and a yummy ice-cream :-D

On the Saturday I went with her family to the zoo, which was awesome we saw all the animals and I got to feed some of the monkeys, really cool! After that we went shopping on Cuba street, where I bought jellys (the comfortable kids shoe! J) and a lovely dress. We came home on the train and I went to Hayley's house (my counsellor) where I stayed for the night and most of the Sunday, I had a great time, we made a tent in the living room for the kids! So cool.

 Yours in Rotary, Jasmin
