These last couple of days have been pretty good.
Especially yesterday was really great!
In this week we have something called "feature week" where the teachers choose a subject we do all week and stuff like that.
(of course) are the 9th grades going to have exam preparation, but I think it's kind of good, because I think it's nice you get to know how it all works.
But because we have this special week school finishes at 1 o'clock every day, which is so great because then I have sooooooo much free time!
I don't even have any homeworks!
Anyway ..
Our teacher is a pretty good teacher, and he just decided that we had to go to the city yesterday and to the cinema today.
It was really great yesterday because we had a really nice time, and we laughed and talked a lot and it was just so cozy!
Then when we were heading home, me and my best friend drove home to my place and we hung out ALL day long!
We made dinner together and stuff like that, and it was really great!
In the evening this program about High School year came in the tv, and I can tell you that I'm actually pretty scared ..
I mean ..
I know it probably can't happen with EF, but there were kids who had been placed at host families who didn't even want to have an exchange student, they said that they had practically been forced to have them by the church.
Two kids had also been sexually abused ...
One of them was a 16 year old boy and he had been placed at this single male, and his story was really scary ...
He told about how his host dad walked around naked in the house all the time, and how the host dad said that the boy had to have the door open every time he took a shower, and the host dads room was right across the hall so he could lie in his bed and just stare at the boy while he was showering ....
Also the host dad had wanted him to walk around naked in the house too, and he said that if the boy was sad or felt homesick or something, he could always come into his bed so he could comfort him ...
and he slept naked ....
And then when they went on a camping trip where they had to lay in a tent and then suddenly the host dad started touching the boy ..
like ...
the private places ...
It was really scary and I just can't believe that something like that could happen ..
But do you wanna know the worst part?
The agency he was traveling with gave him 30.000 just to shut up ......
I mean, can you believe that????
I think it's really insane ...
I just don't hope anything like that is going to happen to me ...
But I'm positive about it, and I haven't changed my mind yet ;)

Love,
Nikoline ♥
