End of 2013. What a Wonderful Year!!! (Part 2)

It does not end yet guys! There is still one more post to end my past year, 2013. It was so wonderful year for me. So that is why I break down my post into two parts. Let's enjoy my post and I hope you like it. :)

December 2013

December 14^th, 2013. It was right before the culminating activity week a.k.a final test week at my school, there was event that was held by my school’s student council. This event was called by the snowball dance. I was so excited to come to this dance because I wanted really know how the American high school dance looked like. In this dance too, all Topeka West student (The school where I go now) would know who the snowball king and queen were. The voting for the snowball king and queen had already done in the previous week. I came with my friend to this dance. We were having fun there. Dancing, chatting, laughing, and singing. It was so wonderful night. And for the result, for this year we had two queens and a king. It happened because the voting for this two queens was tide. It was so interesting.

December 25^th, 2013. Santa was coming to our house. There were so many gifts around the Christmas tree. We started to share our gifts around 9 o’clock in the morning. It was my first Christmas day ever. I was so happy to be there. I got many gifts too in that day. Mostly I got winter clothes such as jacket, gloves, hat, and long sleeve warm t-shirt. I got some chocolate bars too. I had a picture of all my gifts. It was my first time to get any Christmas gifts in my life. Then, we took picture together as the family picture.

“….let it snow, let it snow, let it snow….” That was that happening in my city on December until the first week on January. I was so excited to go out and played with the snow. I also did something crazy. When the temperature was so low and all places around my house were covered by the snow, I tried to go outside just wearing shorts, t-shirt, and flip-flop. What a crazy I was to do that. This condition made my host parents gave me an idea for my next topic in my blog. They said to me that the best topic was “what does cold mean to me?” It was a fit topic for me because my host parents thought that I had already adapted with this temperature.

I think, that is all from my experiences and activities that I have done in 2013. I hope in 2014, we always get more happiness, so we can get more experiences to live in this world. Regards, Andre. :)
