#18 Pyjama Party

Wow, 1731 visualisations of my blog...that's a lot. Thanks for following :)
By the way last weekend I went to a big pijyama party with a lot of other exchange students at my local cordinator house. We ate pizza and ice cream with you don't wanna know what toppings ahah. It was supposed to be a High School Musical marathon but in the end netflix didn't work really well and the cds that we had were a bit scratched, so we ended up playing some cards game and eat.
I fell asleep at like 1:30 but other girls stayed up until 3 to see the hour change and go back.
Next morning Lisa (the LC) made pancakes with maple syrup. So so yummy.

Results of the weekend: diet for a week. (Or more)

We had really a lot of fun together, it's amazing how we stay together and do things together even if we don't know each other well. All we know is that we are experiencing kinda the same adventure and we understand each other problems, worries and exciting things.
Sometimes I feel like all the people that I know back in Italy don't fully understand what I'm living, and probably they'll never do. Even my parents, when I called them and maybe I'm super excited for something or I want to tell them something...and yes they are supportative and excited too and I love them for this but I feel like they don't get everything. So I felt it was partly my fault because maybe I didn't tell thingsin the right way, but I'm starting thinking that noone will ever understand this amazing experience I'm having because they are not here with me.
So the only thing I can think about is, if you really wanna get it you have to try to see things from my point of view.

That was a lot of thoughts, better stop or I start crying.

P.S. It's not that I'm not happy, because I am, it's just that some day I feel gnee and I miss everything about home.

#17 Halloween and P.O. beach

Honestly I always don't know how to start most of my posts. So I'm just gonna cut the introduction and talk about the facts.
Friday afternoon, right after school, I went with my hmom, Pauline and the kids to the Pumpkin Patch. Don't worry, I didn't know what to expect either. It is a kind of open farm with pumpkin fields, some farm animals, a maze in the corn (yes just like in movies) and scarecrows everywhere. Families go there mainly to choose the pumpkins to decorate the house for Halloween, and so we did. 

To seat on this   I walked in the mud all around it. Nice.

The crew <3

Pumpkins along the house path, I decorated my pumpkin doing the deathly allows symbol.

I actually really put my hand inside the pumpkin to take out the seeds and the flesh, which for me was a bit challenging but I did and I was so proud of my final project  ahahah.

On Halloween night, which was Monday, I went to Chiara's house (another exchange student) with a group of friends and we had sooo much fun.

Her host family decorated the house as a haunted house, meaning that they put a bunch of creepy stuff everywhere in the house and we were supposed to hide in the house and scare people that came to visit us. We did pretty well ahah, me and Chiara were dressed up as vampires, while another girl was a evil demon and another one as an Indian (I don't know why). At the end of the evening we had no voice anymore cause we screamed a lot to scare and surprise visitors.

It was so weird seeing how much effort some families put in decorating houses and celebrating this festivity. Around six all the kids went to do trick or treat door by door (again so much like in movies).

Sunday we also went on a family trip to Lincoln City, a town by the Pacific Ocean. Yesss we went to the beach for a while, it's amazing seeing the ocean, the water was a bit cold but we could still walk on the shore and enjoy the sunny day (rare because here it rains a lot). I took a bunch of nice pictures with my Polaroid.

We also went to a typical Restaurant for breakfast and the portions were way too large. I mean really nonsense, in facts here on every restaurant you go at the wnd they give you boxes to take the leftovers home.
