Day 2

Haven't got a proper camera yet, so until then my blogs will be mostly text. The only pics I have taken are with my laptop, and are pretty much the same as the one I posted yesterday. So until I can get to a store and get the camera I want, I'll have to try to paint the pictures with words.

Today was much busier than yesterday. Woke up at around 4:30am, told myself I didn't want to suffer with Jet Lag so I went back to sleep. Up again at 7 - checked who was online and chatted in bed until 7:30. Then it all began. First day in "training". Got ready and once I was finished I had a visitor at my door. Josh came in to talk and wanted to know how long I'd been up and how come I hadn't come downstairs as he was up at 6:30 :p (Little does he know how long it takes me to get ready each day). *Stephen knows all about this*

We talked about good music etc as he scrolled through his dad's Ipod (Currently in my room), and that's when Nathaniel joined us.

Time to go...Off to school at 8:40, it's a nice walk through a few wooded paths. Still getting used to looking to my right before crossing the street rather than the left. (So Weird!) I haven't gone to the wrong side of the car yet though...I'm quite proud of myself for that.

Anyway, we got to the school where we dropped Josh and Nathaniel, and then took Zachary to his pre school class. Once that was through, my cousin (their mom) and I walked up to High Street. (The main street in the village). Went to the bank and grocery store, showed me where the important things were...doctors etc. Then walked back home to wait for the Skip man...(I had no idea what that meant), it's the guy that leaves a huge garbage *basically dumpster* for you to get rid of renovation junk etc, and he picks it up later on. Anyway, once he got here we went to a town called Tiptree. Did a little bit of running around there and sat down for a coffee. Wasn't a Starbucks and no Soy milk sooo...I watched :p

Once we finished there we went back to pick up Zachary. Heloise had to help out at the school so Zach and I walked up to the Library, got some books, a dvd, and listened to the librarian sing songs and read stories. It was cute. Walked back to the school to pick Nathaniel up and head to Swimming. As soon as that was done, it was time to race back and get Josh from school soccer...or I guess I should say Football. They've been correcting me these last couple of days :p Zachary says I shouldn't say couch (He doesn't know what that means) Instead I am to say Sofa. I was also ridiculed in the way I say Waterloo...for a good 10 minutes haha. They're too cute. I'm sure they'll get used to my "funny accent" and words soon enough. Zachary ran through my vocabulary...turns out we say sausages the same. (That seems to be his favourite thing at the moment).

Watched Nathaniel play Mario Galaxy on the Wii, had some dinner and then it was time for homework. (Lots of chaos and fun in between, but nothing to report...Just Zachary singing at the top of his lungs playing the rockband guitar without the game actually being on...Hence where the word Waterloo came up).

After homework we played some real Guitar Hero World Tour. I was very happy to hear from Josh that I am "Brilliant!" He couldn't believe it. Oh how children can make you feel special :p

That was pretty much it for my day today. Helped put the groceries away and put them to bed...and am refusing to eat all the delicious junk food I know England possesses :p I don't think there's as much going on tomorrow, but will soon find out.

I'll try to get a picture of their kitty Jelly before the end of the week...He's gorgeous!!!

Off to watch the beginning of "Burn After Reading" before I give in to my tiredness and pass out.
