DAY ELEVEN

I don't want to leave I don't want to leave I don't want to leave. Today we had school, and in the Biology class I noticed something I haven't noticed before. There was a poster in which says: WE NEED lysoSOME RESPECT. I found it funny. For  the Spanish class the students had a test, and I also did it. We had to write some sentences with some words there written. Most of those words are common for places like Spain and I didn't know the meaning...

For lunch I had turkey bacon wraps which were really good.

In the last mode the Argentinians didn't have class, instead of that we had the possibility of talking with students we never talked before. We shared opinions, thoughts, and talked about sports, weekends, school, etc. It was really interesting and fun.

After that our hosts joined us and we had some pizzas and watched a movie all together. The name of the movie was "Stand by me", it was excellent, a little bit sad but the messages could be easily interprerated.

The next plan was to go to Anna Senteno's house. We played Wii there, the name of the game was "Mario Karts", it was about choosing your avatar and run a race, I was always the last one :(

There's nothing else I can say about today, just that it was as fun as all the days before. I love being here.

DAY TEN!

This day was long and incredible. We went downtown again.

The first place we had been in was an interactive museum in which you could see from fairytale statues to different periods of history such as the NAZI movement. I spent the time there with Amy, Carola and Barbara. The first section we had been in was the submarine room, after that, a hallway took us to the room in which you could see statues and videos of the Second World War. The three girls were scared of passing through the hallway,  I wasn't because I knew if I was frightened, I would turn the museum all the way round. So, when we were walking through the hallway, some real sized people from the 1920s appeared on a screen and started to talk! It felt like travelling some years ago, but it was kinda scary. 

When we got inside the scientific room, there was a computer in which you could see how you will look like in thirty or fifty years. The three girls took the test, I didn't, if you don't know the future, you have more reasons to live.

After the museum we went to the Planetarium. I heard everyone fall asleep, I didn't, I got hypnotized with the 3D fugures dancing above me, it was boring though, (sorry).

The last but not least place we had been was the Aquarium! It had been extraordinary amazing, I am an aquarian, I LOVE aquariums. I got suprised of all the fishes, they were so different one from each other, they could have different colors, sizes, and I felt some of them were smiling to me.

We had so much fun there, there was a jellyfish that couldn't find an escape because it was surrounded by water plants! It was so funny. 

Another funny thing there, was that there were some penguin costumes and, with Amy and Agustin we put them on and took pictures with them, we looked ridiculous.

At night, I went with Kara to have some dinner, to a Mexican restaurant, and later our friends and their hosts came home and we had fun there.

PD: I am not going to translate the blog because in my family they know English and the translation is really bad, in any case, they know how to translate it.

DAY NINE!

Today we went dowtown!! The first place we had been at was the Navy Pier which was really nice, I got some souvenirs there and went to the candy store. 

After that we got some free time and I went with Amy to some stores. We still can't believe we are in United States together. We went to Forever 21, Apple store to see some cases, Disney Store which was incredible. All my childhood I was looking forward to go to somewhere like that, now that I had been there just can't believe it. It felt like getting inside a fairytale, not kidding. I bought some presents for my little cousins, with Amy we were saying we would like to have babies so we could buy them those beautiful magic toys. 

After going to Disney Store we went to Suaroski (yes, Suaroski) where Amy bought a stunning crystal pendant for her mother. I was surprised how happy is the people here, the mane that attended us was so nice that I asked him If I could take some pictures there, and he said yes! 

As we didn't know the city well, it tooked us ten minutes to find somewhere good to have lunch, and we ended up going to Starbucks and eat a sandwich there. The funny thing was that during our way to the refference point where we had to meet, we saw a Starbucks next to there. Great. 

After that we went to the boat! It was so cold and windy there, but the view was really beautiful, I got hypnotized by watching the dancing blue with green tones lake. 

PD: mom and dad, it was me the one who take that picture, so you can see with me how wonderful the iphone is. 

DAY EIGHT

Happy mother's day mom!! I love you <3

I got the iphone!!! So exciteddd!!

I also went to Forever 21 and got lots of cute things for a very low price!

After that we went to Jordan's aunt house which was soooo big, it had a cinema with automatic seats, a pool, a big garden and lots of food!! It had been amazing there. Later t went to the hounted house everyone was looking forward to go! I wasn't scared at first, but as the girls were really frightened I started          to worry about it. We went inside a wagon which was pulled by a tractor. Some people with really good costumes came from nowhere and TRIED to scare us. Anyway, it was fun. 

After the hounted house, we went to a sleepover in Sara's house, we are having fun here with our new iphones! It's really fun because we all have different colors! 

Here a picture ar Sarah's!

DIA OCHO!

Feliz dia mamii! Te quiero! 

Finalmente compre el iphone!! Tambien fui a Forever 21 y compre cosas lindas por un precio bajo! 

Mas tarde fuimos a la casa de la tia de Jordan, me impresione de lo grande que era! 

El plan que seguia era ir a la casa embrujada, en la cual no me asuste mucho pero fue divertido de todos modos. Ahora estamos en la casa de Sara, la host de Marcos, y la estamos pasando excelente estrenando nuestros iphones!

DAY SEVEN
A loooong day. We went to the city!! The first place we went was the Willis Tower. One of the tallest buildings all over the world. But I didn't like it! (sorry!) We were so high that I couldn't hear and the souvenirs were expensive so I couldn't get anything. I had to be honest.
After that we had free time and... guess what! I couldn't get anything!! Woohoo!! We hadn't enough time, and Amy needed to go to Sony to buy some earphones, and one of the hosts told us she knew where it was but actually she didn't! So we walked four blocks for nothing.
After that Agustin wanted to enter to Topshop or something like that, and Amy and me didn't wanted to go there! We were sooo angry with him! Next time, we are going by our own with some hosts. So, time was up, we saw everyone carrying bags, and Amy and me, carrying just our purses.
We were in such a bad humor in the trip from downtown to the stadium, but when we arrive, they were waiting for us with food, so we were smiling again. Here a picture!!



So then we had the football match! I didn't realize when it started so when I looked at the pitch I was like "oooh, the match had already begun".
SOMETHING GREAT HAPPENED THERE.
We, the Argentinians planned to do the "wave", like we raise our hands and make a wave with them. So we told the people what we were planning to do, and at first we were less, but we started doing it more and more times and we got half of the people doing it!! From our side up to the other side, on the left, all the crowd was doing it!! We had thousands of people doing what we begun!! It was unbelievably INCREDIBLE.
After the match we all went to my host's house!! We played "Sing it" on the Wii, so we were all singing High School Musical Songs, it was really fun. When all the people left Kara asked me if I was tired, and I answered I wasn't, so we continued singing after Tony, Kara's father asked her if she could fetch Mia from her big sister's house, and she took Roxy with her! She opened the window and Roxy was taking her head away taking some fresh air, she looked like a person.
When we were getting inside back, with Mia, I opened the door and Roxy was sitting in my sit! I sat next to her, and we shared the seat-belt, it was so fun. We started to sing, and I hold Roxy and made her dance, Kara filmed it. So this is were this day ends!! I think tomorrow I am getting my I-phone!! Wiii!!!

DÍA SIETE
Un día laaaargo . Fuimos a la ciudad ! El primer lugar que fuimos fue a la Torre Willis. Uno de los edificios más altos de todo el mundo . Pero no me gusto ! (lo siento! ) Estábamos tan alto que no podía oír , y los souveniers eran caros así que no pude comprar nada . Tenía que ser honesta.
Después de eso tuvimos tiempo libre y ... adivinen qué ! No compre nada ! Woohoo ! No teníamos tiempo suficiente, y Amy tenía que ir a Sony para comprar audífonos , y uno de los anfitriones nos dijo que sabía dónde estaba , pero en realidad no sabia! Así que caminamos cuatro cuadras para nada .
Después de que Agustín quería entrar a Topshop o algo así, y Amy y yo no quería ir allí ! Estábamos muuuy enojadas con él ! La próxima vez, vamos por nuestra cuenta con algunos hosts. Por lo tanto, había acabado el tiempo , vimos a todos con bolsas , y Amy y yo, llevando sólo nuestras carteras.
Estábamos en un mal humor como en el viaje desde el centro hasta el estadio, pero cuando llegamos , nos estaban esperando para nosotros con la comida, así que estábamos sonriendo de nuevo . (Vean la foto arriba).

Así que teníamos el partido de fútbol ! No me di cuenta cuando empezó así que cuando me miré en el terreno de juego que era como " oooh, el partido ya había comenzado " .
PASO ALGO GENIAL.
Nosotros, los argentinos planeamos hacer "la ola" en la cancha. Al principio eramos solo nosotros pero despues la gente comenzo a sumarse y tuvimos a mas de la mitad de la cancha haciendola! De nuestro lado hasta el otro lado , a la izquierda, toda la gente la estaba haciendo ! Tuvimos miles de personas que hacian lo que nostros habiamos comenzado! Fue increible.
Después del partido nos fuimos a la casa de mi anfitrión ! Jugamos al "Sing it" en la Wii , así que estábamos todos cantando canciones High School Musical , fue muy divertido . Cuando las personas se fueron Kara me preguntó si estaba cansada , y le respondi que no lo estaba , así que seguimoscantando hasta que Tony , el padre de Kara le preguntó si podía traer Mia de la casa de su hermana , y ella tomó Roxy con ella! Abrió la ventana y Roxy estaba tomando su cabeza tomar un poco de aire fresco , se veía como una persona.
Cuando estábamos en el interior de la espalda, con Mia , abrí la puerta y Roxy estaba sentada en mi asiento! Me senté a su lado, y compartimos el cinturón de seguridad , fue muy divertido . Empezamos a cantar, y yo sostuve a Roxy y la hice bailar mientras Kara lo filmó . Así que esto es donde el día de hoy termina ! Creo que mañana voy a comprar mi I-phone ! Wiii !

DAY SIX
School day!!
The first mode we didn't go with our host's class because we had a meeting with the Student's Council. It is what we call in Argentina "Pastoral", the students who are involved in the Student's Council do similar things as we do in Pastoral. They help the poor people over the U.S.A, make houses and give them food.
Then we had English, Spanish, Maths, Physics, Biology and Physiology.
When the last mode was over we had the football (or soccer) match! Argentina vs. U.S.A. It ended up 7-7.
After the football match we had the asado!! The guys from here LOVED it. They just said: "ooohhh this is soooo good". We told them now they have another reason to come to Argentina.
After the asado a an american football match was taking place but I didn't go because I had a stomachache so Teresa, Kara's mom, fetched me and I had a bath and fall asleep to have enough energy for tomorrow!

DÍA SEIS
Día escolar!
El primer modo que no fuimos a la clase de nuestro anfitrión, ya que tuvimos una reunión con el Consejo de Estudiantes. Es lo que llamamos en Argentina "Pastoral", los estudiantes que participan en el Consejo de Estudiantes hacen cosas similares a las que hacemos en la Pastoral. Ellos ayudan a los pobres de los EE.UU., hacen casas y les dan comida.
Luego tuvimos Inglés, Español, Matemáticas, Física, Biología y Psicología.
Cuando el último modo había terminado tuvimos el partido de soccer (o fútbol)! Argentina vs U.S.A. Terminó 7-7.
Después de que el partido de fútbol que tuvimos el asado! A los chicos de aca les encanto. Nos decian: esto esta taaaan bueno. Nosotros
 Les dijimos que ahora tienen una razón más para venir a Argentina.
Después del asado a un partido de fútbol americano estaba ll evando a cabo, pero no fui porque tenía un dolor de estómago así que Teresa, la madre de Kara, me paso a buscar y tome una ducha y me fui a dormir para tener la energia sufiente para manana!!

DAY FIVE!
What a great day was today!! Had so much fun!!
First we had school, and as we have free lunch there we buy lots and lots of chocolates and skittles!! Mia, Kara's sister, told me she saw Amy and whispered to her: "Amy, galleita, galleita", asking for a cookie, she started to learn Spanish last year so she isn't very good at speaking in Spanish, but I have so much fun with her. Anyway, she got the cookie!!
At school we had Art, Religion, Spanish, Maths and Biology, in which we sang the Happy Birthday song to a guy whose birthday was today, I enjoy the Biology classes.
Luckily, the Argentinians skipped the last class because the school couch taught us how to play American Football for tomorrow's match! We are all surprised because of the people here, they are all friendly, you never get someone in bad humor, you really feel that people here want us to have a good time.
Here's a picture of yesterday's sightseeing.



After school Kara took Amy, Caro, Fico, Consu, Agustin, Toby and to the shopping mall!! I bought some things there, and I'm so happy I can use my own credit card, sign the tickets, and get what I want!! I got some clothes and accessories from Forever 21, a blue hoodie from I don't remember the name of the store where I got it,  and had some teriyaki chicken for dinner which was really good.
But the night doesn't end there!! After having dinner we all went to Maggie's house! We played air jockey, which is like and arcade game, ping pong, or just talk, it was fun.
I don't have much more to say about today, just how good I feel here, Chicago is a dream came true, I still can't believe I am in the United States.

DÍA CINCO!
¡Qué gran día fue hoy! Fue muy divertido!
Primero fuimos a  la escuela, y como tenemos almuerzo gratis vamos a comprar montones y montones de chocolates y confites! Mia, la hermana de Kara, me dijo que vio a Amy y le susurró: "Amy, galleita, galleita", solicitando una galleta, ella comenzó a aprender español el año pasado por lo que no es muy buena para hablar en español, pero nos divertimos mucho con ella. De todos modos, ella consiguió la galleta!
En la escuela tuvimos Arte, Religión, Español, Matemáticas y Biología, en la que cantamos la canción de feliz cumpleaños a un chico cuyo cumpleaños era hoy, me gustan las  clases de Biología.
Por suerte, los argentinos omiten la última clase, porque el sofá escuela nos enseñó a jugar fútbol americano para el partido de mañana! Todos estamos sorprendidos por la gente de aquí, todos son amables, nunca se tiene a alguien de mal humor, te sientes que la gente aquí quiere que tengamos un buen momento.

(No voy a subir la foto de nuevo, veanla arriba)

Después de la escuela Kara nos llevo a Amy, Caro, Fico, Consu , Agustín, Toby y a mi al centro comercial! Compré algunas cosas allí, y estoy tan feliz que puedo usar mi propia tarjeta de crédito, firmar los tickets, y comprar lo que quiero! Tengo un poco de ropa y accesorios de Forever 21, una sudadera con capucha azul de un lugar que no me acuerdo su nombre, y comi un poco de pollo teriyaki para la cena, que era muy bueno.
Pero la noche no termina ahí! Después de cenar nos fuimos a la casa de Maggie! Jugamos al jockey de aire,  que es como y juego de arcade,  al ping pong, o simplemente hablamos, fue muy divertido.
No tengo mucho más que decir al respecto hoy, solo lo bien que me siento aquí, Chicago es un sueño hecho  realidad, todavía no puedo creer que estoy en los Estados Unidos

DAY FOUR
In the morning we went dowtown!!! It wasn't even similar to what I was thinking. I just imagined a city like Buenos Aires maybe a little bit cleaner with more stores and parks but never such a wonderful place like that!!
It was so exotic. Fountains, bridges, museums, and tall, TALL skyscrapers. It was like a blooming wonderland place. We just walked and explore, and sometimes get interrupted by our uncles because they wanted to take us pictures... It was okay though.
First we went to the 3D art museum, which was really original and we just were looking with our eyes very open taking photos and photos.
Then we contemplate a kind of metallic sculpture called "the bean", in which we could see our faces turning into dancing shapes, it was like a mirror. We took a lot of pictures there and made goofy faces there.
What was not really good was that Amy was wearing some uncomfortable shoes and so we were at the back of the group trying to hurry as faster as we could. However, it was fun though, there were water jets and I told Amy: "Oh, look, sapitos", and Agustin said: "No, they are chorros de agua", so Amy interfered saying, "They are sapitos". After a silly discussion Amy and me made a coreography saying: "Sapitooo-oh, sapitooo, sapitooo-oh, imposible no comertelo!" Kinda weird, but funny anyway.
What I really liked was the Field museum, in which there were lots of rooms to visit. When we about to get inside Amy told Agustin and me: "Guys, I'm so happy to be here with you, I love you", and hugged us. It felt really nice to hear that, because I feel the same, I can't believe I am in United States with ones of my best friends. Inside the museum, we could go by ourselves, or with friends (I spent most of the time with Amy inside) to any room we wanted to go, we had a map, and, mom and dad let me say, I didn't got lost!!
 The first room we got inside was the bioluminescent room, in which we could see some sea animals with colorful lights inside, it felt like travelling to another planet, and the music made you set on the sea scene so well.
The next room we visited was the gems room. There we could see tons of gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires, topazes, amethysts, with Amy we just said how nice they where, but not so much, our faces could speak better than our words.
Then we had some quick looks at the other rooms because we didn't want to spend a lot of time in each of them, so we could see better the ones we were interested in.
When we reached school we had free lunch, I got some chicken wraps, which tasted really good, maybe tomorrow I'm having the same thing.
I really missed Kara during the morning! When we were back home some minutes later Amy and Caro came home and helped Kara with her English class. There was also Mia, Kara's sister, who's fifteen like ma, and we tried to teach her how to pronounce the "R" in Spanish, and she couldn't! It was funny, we had really funny talks, we showed them the guys we like in Argentina and they showed us the guys they like here in Chicago. Speechless, I prefer not to reveal.
An hour later Toby and her host Margaret, whose nickname is Maggie and accidentally the first day I called her "MaRggie", arrived to Kara's house, and we played "Just Dance" and "Just Sing" with some microphones in the basement, which is like a big room dowstairs, which has a big T.V with a sofa in front of it,  a table, we all get there if we are going to someone's house. We had a great time there.
Our plans for the night where to got to Kitchen Fried Chicken, in which I wanted to have a salad but there were no salads...
Then we go to the kartings, which were some small toy cars in which you get inside and run a race, but I didn't want to play, so I waited and just cheer the ones who where there, however, it was fun anyway.
Finally, we went to Marty's house, Lucas' host, he is a sophomore, which means he is the same age as us. We made a "Harlem Shake" there, it was really fun.
So, to end today's blog, I would like to say that everything is going great right here, no worries, just fun.

DIA CUATRO
Por la mañana fuimos a la ciudad! No era ni similar a lo que yo estaba pensando. Me imaginaba una ciudad como Buenos Aires, tal vez un poco más limpia , con más tiendas y parques , pero nunca un lugar tan maravilloso como eso !
Era tan exótico. Fuentes, puentes , museos y altos rascacielos . Era como un país de las maravillas, un  lugar de  floración . Entramos y exploramos y  a veces eramos interrumpidos por nuestros tios para sacarnos fotos, fue divertido de todos modos.
Primero fuimos al museo de arte en 3D, que era muy original y que sólo estábamos buscando con los ojos muy abiertos de tomar fotos y fotos.
A continuación, se contempla una especie de escultura metálica llamada " el grano " , en el que pudimos ver la cara que se convierten en formas de baile , que era como un espejo. Hicimos un montón de fotos allí e hicimos caras tontas allí.
Lo que no era muy bueno era que Amy llevaba unos zapatos incómodos y así que estábamos en la parte trasera del grupo tratando de prisa como rápido como pudimos. Sin embargo , fue muy divertido , sin embargo, había chorros de agua y me dijeron a Amy: " Oh , mira, sapitos " , y Agustín dijo : " No, son chorros de agua" , por lo que Amy interfirieron diciendo : "Son sapitos " . Después de una discusión Amy tonta y me hicieron una coreografía diciendo : " Sapitooo -oh , sapitooo , sapitooo -oh , no comertelo Imposible ! " Un poco raro, pero divertido de todos modos.
Lo que me gustó fue el Museo Field, en la que había un montón de habitaciones para visitar. Cuando estamos a punto de entrar Amy dijo Agustín y yo: " Chicos, estoy tan feliz de estar aquí contigo, los quiero"nos abrazó . Se sentía muy agradable escuchar eso, porque yo siento lo mismo ,  no puedo creer que estoy en Estados Unidos. podríamos ir por nosotros mismos, o con amigos ( me pasé la mayor parte del tiempo con Amy en el interior) a cualquier sitio que queríamos ir , teníamos un mapa, y , mamá y papá permítanme decir , no nos perdimos!
 La primera habitación que nos dieron estaba en el interior de la habitación bioluminiscente , en el que pudimos ver algunos animales marinos con luces de colores en el interior , se sentía como viajar a otro planeta , y la música hizo que definió en la escena del mar tan bien.
La siguiente habitación que visitamos fue la sala de gemas. Allí pudimos ver un montón de piedras preciosas como diamantes , zafiros , topacios , amatistas, con Amy que acabamos de decir lo bien que dónde, pero no tanto , nuestros rostros podían hablar mejor que nuestras palabras.
Luego tuvimos algunas miradas rápidas en las otras habitaciones , ya que no queríamos gastar mucho tiempo en cada uno de ellos, por lo que podríamos ver mejor los que nos han visitado
Cuando llegamos a la escuela tuvimos almuerzo gratis , tengo algunas envolturas de pollo, que sabía muy bien , tal vez mañana me lo estoy pasando lo mismo.
Me perdí Kara durante la mañana ! Cuando regresamos a casa algunos minutos más tarde Amy y Caro a casa y ayudó a Kara con su clase de Inglés . También había Mia , la hermana de Kara , que tiene quince años como ma , y tratamos de enseñarle a pronunciar la "R " en español , y ella no podía ! Fue divertido, tuvimos conversaciones muy divertidas , les enseñamos a los chicos que nos gustan en Argentina y nos mostraron los chicos que les gusta aquí en Chicago. Sin palabras , prefiero no revelar .
Una hora después, Toby y su anfitrión Margaret , cuyo apodo es Maggie , y sin querer el primer día que llamé " Marggie " , llegaron a la casa de Kara , y jugamos "Just Dance " y "Just Sing" con algunos micrófonos en el sótano, que es como una gran dowstairs sala , que tiene una gran televisión con un sofá frente a ella , una mesa, que todos lleguemos allí si vamos a la casa de alguien. Nos lo pasamos de maravilla.
Nuestros planes para la noche en que llegó a la cocina Fried Chicken , en el que yo quería tener una ensalada pero no había ensaladas ...
Luego nos dirigiremos a los kartings , que eran unos pequeños coches de juguete en el que entrar y ejecutar una carrera, pero yo no quería jugar, así que esperé y simplemente animo a los que donde hay , sin embargo , fue muy divertido de todos modos .
Por último , fuimos a la casa de Marty , anfitrión de Lucas , es un estudiante de segundo año , lo que significa que tiene la misma edad que nosotros. Hicimos un " Shake Harlem " allí, era muy divertido.
Así que, para acabar con el blog de hoy , me gustaría decir que todo va muy bien aqui, sin preocupaciones, solo diversion.

DAY THREE!!
What a loooong (but amazing!!) day! Kara took me to school in her car as she always does, in which she takes her sister, Mia, which is my age and she's very sweet and funny and fetches her neighbor Sam who's a junior.
First we went to the breakfast all the Chicago-Argentina community and some teachers. There we had lots of food to eat, from scrambled eggs, bacon, meat, waffles, to a great variety of fruits, it was like a lunch or a dinner, my stomach got full very fast.
After that we had to talk about our first impressions on our families here, we took a picture and our hosts gave us some presents: two T-shirts, a key-chain, a water flask, and a backpack which had the Marist logo, they were really cool.
At school all the students were staring at us. I met Teresa, a girl who came to Argentina in April and I was happy to see her again.
The first class we had was the ceramic class, in which students make vases or little jars with that strange wheel that I only saw in movies. In the second class Kara had to help the junior Spanish teacher and I help her to paint the Ecuador flag. It was really funny how guys pronounce Spanish words, some of them came to me and said "Holla, comou estass" pronouncing some letters in a strange way, it was really fun.
After the Spanish class we had lunch, in which I met some guys there, they were all nice. Then we had Maths class, my favourite class, (just kidding, I almost fell asleep). Kara told me she tried to participate so the teacher thinks she is paying attention and is interested in the class, I do the same thing in Argentina.
After the awesome Maths class we had Biology, in which the guys clapped to me, they were awesome, all of them are seventeen, so I am like a little girl for them. The next class we had was the Spanish class, in which Kara shares the class with Lauren, the other Cami's host. In that class we introduced ourselves in Spanish and watch a video some guys prepared, we couldn't stop laughing, it was very entertaining,
The last class was the Physiology class, which I found it very interesting, the teacher was really good. He explained how someone's mood could change so easily and how can people turn into another person in one second. Another thing he did was to hold a bottle and explain who people could see it in different points of view, for example, he put it on the table and said "oh, what a nice flower vase!", and instantly he made his voice turn deeper and pretend he was doing some gym with the bottle, it was funny and interesting at the same way.
We had lunch at six o' clock (yes, six o'clock), I shared some buffalo wings with Barbi and we felt we were about to explode because of how much food we had ate. After dinner we went to Hanna's house, Hanna is Coco's host, she is really nice, as all the guys and girls here are. I had SOOOO much fun there!! We ate some delicious cookies, we played "Just Dance" at the Wii, which made me burst of laughter. The funniest thing was to teach them how to dance "Cumbia", we got all in a circle and the U.S guys started to imitate us. But they also taught us some dance!! The girls showed us how to "shake butts" making some pirouettes. I got to know all the hosts there, and I can say they are all kind, funny and sweet.
This day had been excellent as the two days before, I am having a lot of fun here, Kara is a great person as well as her whole family, I hope they are also having fun with me here as I do.

TERCER DÍA !
Fue un laaaaargo ( pero increíble !) dia! Kara me llevó a la escuela en su auto como siempre lo hace ,al igual que a su hermana, Mia , que es tiene mi edad y es muy dulce y divertida, y tambien lleva a su vecina, Sam que es una junior (cuarto ano de secundaria).
Primero fuimos a el desayuno con toda la comunidad de Chicago - Argentina y algunos profesores . Allí tuvimos mucha comida para comer , a partir de huevos revueltos, tocino , carne , galletas, a una gran variedad de frutas, que era como un almuerzo o una cena , mi estómago se lleno muy rápido.
Después de que teníamos que hablar de nuestras primeras impresiones sobre nuestras familias aquí, nos tomó una foto y nuestros anfitriones nos dio algunos regalos : dos camisetas, un llavero, un frasco de agua , y una mochila que tenía el logo marista , eran realmente genial.
En la escuela todos los estudiantes nos estaban mirando . Conocí a Teresa , una chica que vino a Argentina en abril y yo estaba feliz de verla de nuevo.
La primera clase que teníamos era la clase de cerámica, en el que los estudiantes hacen floreros o pequeños frascos con esa extraña rueda que sólo he visto en las películas. En la segunda clase Kara tenía que ayudar al profesor de español para jóvenes y ayudar a pintar la bandera de Ecuador . Fue muy curioso ver cómo los chicos pronuncian las palabras en español , algunos de ellos vinieron a mí y me dijeron: " Holla , comou estass " pronunciando algunas letras de una manera extraña , era muy divertido.
Después de la clase de español que tenía el almuerzo , en el que conocí a algunos chicos allí, todos eran muy agradables . Luego tuvimos clase de matemáticas , mi clase favorita , (es broma , casi me quedé dormida) . Kara me dijo que trató de participar para que el profesor pensara que ella está prestando atención y está interesada en la clase , yo hago lo mismo en Argentina .
Después de la increible clase de Matematica, la siguiente materia que tuvimos fue Biología, en la que los chicos me aplaudieron, eran muy divertidos, todos ellos tienen diecisiete años, así que soy como una niña pequeña para ellos. La próxima clase que tuvimos fue la clase de español , en la que Kara comparte la clase con Lauren, la anfitriona de la otra Cami. En esa clase nos presentamos en español y vimos un video de unos chicos hablando en Espanol, no podíamos dejar de reír , era muy entretenido,
La última clase fue la de Psicologia, me pareció muy interesante, el profesor era muy bueno. Explicó cómo el estado de ánimo de una persona puede cambiar tan fácilmente y cómo la gente puede convertirse en otra persona, en un segundo. Otra cosa que hizo fue tomar una botella y explicar que la gente podía ver  diferentes puntos de vista en ella, por ejemplo , la coloco  sobre la mesa y dijo " oh, qué bonito florero " , y al instante hizo su voz mas grave y fingio que estaba haciendo un poco de gimnasia con la botella, lo que fue divertido e interesante al mismo tiempo.
Almorzamos a las seis, (sí, seis ) , compartí algunas alitas de pollo con Barbi y nos sentimos que estábamos a punto de estallar , debido a la cantidad de comida que nos comimos . Después de la cena nos fuimos a la casa de Hanna , Hanna es la anfitriona de Coco, ella es muy amigable, como todos los chicos y chicas aquí. Fue tan divertido allí! Comimos unas deliciosas galletas , jugamos al "Just Dance " en la Wii, lo que me hizo reventar de la risa . Lo más gracioso fue que les enseñamos a bailar " cumbia " , formamos una ronda y los chicos de Estados Unidos empezaron a imitarnos . Pero también nos enseñaron un baile ! Las chicas nos enseñaron a "sacudir colillas " haciendo algunas piruetas . Llegué a conocer a todos los chicos de U.S.A allí, y puedo decir que son todos amables, divertidos y dulces.
Este día fue excelente, al igual que  los dos días anteriores , estoy teniendo un montón de diversión aquí , Kara es una gran persona, así como toda su familia , espero que también se esten divirtiendo conmigo aquí asi como yo lo estoy haciendo.

Chicagooo!!!
FIRST DAY
I don't know where to start. In the first flight I was alone next to a man who was really kind. Most of the trip the only thing I did was to watch through the window. The flight lasted nine hours and I just slept like one or two, but didn't get tired. I was really scared, I was always praying and thinking, will I be alive for the next hour? I'm crazy I know.
And talking about crazy things, my mother is a friend of a stewardess who lives in Peru so the captain came to talk to me before the plan started to fly. After having dinner, a stewardess came to me and told me: "are you Camila Cerutti?" I said yes and she told me to take my things and go with her. I asked her if something wrong was going on and she said no.
She took me to a room next to the first class area and a man and a woman said hi and gave me an ice cream and a pijama just because my mom was the stewardess' friend. We talked about my fifteen party, my plans for the future, the woman's daughter is a writer and I am really interested in writing stuff so the talk was really interesting.
When we reach United States and had to show our passport and permission I got really scared. A man, holding my permission asked me what was it and I just answered "my permission" in a whisper. Then he asked me why am I going to the United States, and, as Leandro told us before, I answer that the idea was to visit friends. I had to tell him we were fourteen and three leaders and he asked me "so the fourteen are staying in a friend house, huh?" and I answered that we were staying in different friends houses.
At Miami I really couldn't believe I was there with my friends. That was really strange but awesome at the same time for me.
Then we took the second plane and I was lucky, I was sitting next to Barbi and Consu. That was good luck. But I fall asleep most of the time there. When I was watching through the window the houses looked like architectural models and I felt like a giant inside the plane.
Later, a school bus, the typical yellow school bus in movies took us to the school, where there were our families!!!
I was one of the first ones to get outside the bus, and a blonde girl smiling said "hii!" euphorically and I knew she was Kara. There she was, with her parents and her sister who is my age, they all hugged me, carried my suitcase inside the car take me to visit her grandmother who was with Amy, another sister who was studying at the university. After that we went for some pizza, I was really nervous inside the car, but the whole family is really nice so there was any problem.
Then we went home, the house is really nice, my bedroom is big and I have it for my own. They have a little poodle, very similar to my poodle in Buenos Aires called Popis, her name is Roxy and she is the same age as Popis.
After organizing myself inside we went to a hockey match. It was an ice hockey rink where we were! I met other hosts such as Agustin's, Lucas', Tobi's, and I already knew Barbi's and Amy's hosts. As Kara drives, which is amazing, she took me to Portillo's, a restaurant, where we arrange to meet with Amy, Barbi, Tobi and their hosts. I had a caesar salad for dinner, which was really good but kinda big and felt it was enough.
When we reach home I had a shower and go to bed.
SECOND DAY
I had soooo much fun today!!! We went shopping!!!! That was really awesome, I got lots of things, I was holding bags and bags, which was really fun. I got things for my family, I entered to the stores thinking of them and just buying things for them only using the credit card. I got also things for me, a college jacket which was sooo perfect for me! I just loved it. Then I got some toys, they were so cute that I couldn't not buy them. I went inside DC and started to try T-shirts for my brother, I looked really weird in front of the people, but never matter. We had lunch at Subway, I wasn't really hungry but it was OK. All the guys are really nice here.
When we went inside the candy store it felt like paradise. Lots of strange candies, that was what all my life I was dreaming of. And I bought some candies which I am going to resist, and don't eat them so I can take them to Buenos Aires and let my family try them. I am a good person, I know.
After shopping we went to a school football match, and it finished 3-3, it wasn't what everyone wanted, but it wasn't bad either. We had dinner at school, some pizzas and cookies, which taste really good.
Finally we reached home, Kara drove us to home, and that was it. I am really happy and having a great time. Tomorrow we are having a breakfast with our hosts at school, can't wait.

Chicagooo !
PRIMER DÍA
No sé por dónde empezar. En el primer vuelo estaba sola junto a un hombre que por suerte era muy amable . La mayor parte del viaje lo único que hice fue mirar a través de la ventana. El vuelo duró nueve horas, y me dormí como uno o dos, pero no me canse. Yo estaba muy asustada , rezando y pensando, estare viva para la próxima hora?
Y hablando de cosas locas , mi madre es amiga de una azafata que vive en Perú por lo que el capitán vino a hablar conmigo antes de que el plan comenzó a volar. Después de la cena , una azafata vino a mí y me dijo : "¿ es usted Camila Cerutti " Le dije que sí y me dijo que tome mis cosas y vaya  con ella. Le pregunté si algo malo estaba pasando y me dijo que no .
Me llevó a una habitación al lado de la zona de primera clase y un hombre y una mujer dijo hola y me dio un helado y un pijama sólo porque mi madre era amiga de la azafata . Hablamos de mi fiesta de quince años, mis planes para el futuro , la hija de la mujer es un escritor y estoy muy interesado en escribir cosas así que la charla fue muy interesante.
Al llegar a Estados Unidos y tuvo que mostrar nuestro pasaporte y permiso, me asusté mucho . Un hombre , sosteniendo mi permiso me preguntó qué era y respondi: " mi permiso " en un susurro. Entonces él me preguntó por qué me voy a los Estados Unidos y, como Leandro nos dijo antes, yo respondo que la idea era visitar a unos amigos . Tuve que decirle que éramos catorce y tres líderes y me preguntó "para los catorce se hospeda en casa de un amigo , ¿eh ? " y yo le contesté que estábamos alojados en diferentes casas de amigos .
En Miami Realmente no podía creer que estaba allí con mis amigos. Eso fue muy extraño pero impresionante al mismo tiempo para mí.
Luego tomamos el segundo avión y tuve suerte , estaba sentado junto a Barbi y Consu . Esa fue la buena suerte. Pero me quedo dormido la mayor parte del tiempo allí. Cuando yo estaba mirando por la ventana de las casas parecían modelos arquitectónicos y me sentí como un gigante en el interior del avión.
Más tarde, un autobús escolar, en el autobús escolar amarillo típico de las películas que nos llevó a la escuela , donde había a nuestras familias !
Yo fui uno de los primeros en conseguir fuera del autobús , y una niña rubia sonriente dijo: " hii ! " euforia y yo sabía que ella era Kara . Allí estaba ella, con sus padres y su hermana que es mi edad , porque todos me abrazaron , llevaron mi maleta en el coche me llevaba a visitar a su abuela que estaba con Amy , otra hermana que estaba estudiando en la universidad. Después de eso nos fuimos a dar un poco de pizza , que estaba muy nervioso en el interior del coche, pero toda la familia es muy agradable así que no había ningún problema.
Luego nos fuimos a casa , la casa es muy agradable, mi habitación es grande y lo tengo por mi propia cuenta. Tienen un pequeño caniche, muy similar a mi caniche en Buenos Aires llamado Popis , su nombre es Roxy y ella es la misma edad que Popis .
Después de organizar en mí fuimos a un partido de hockey. Era una pista de hockey sobre hielo, donde estábamos! Conocí a otras máquinas como Agustín de , Lucas, de Tobi , y yo ya sabía Barbi de Amy y de los ejércitos. Como unidades de Kara , que es increíble , me llevó a Portillo , un restaurante , donde nos organizamos para reunirse con Amy , Barbi , Tobi y sus anfitriones. Tuve una ensalada César para la cena, que era muy bueno pero un poco grande y consideró que era suficiente.
Cuando llegamos a casa, me di una ducha y me voy a la cama.

Luego me dieron algunos juguetes , eran tan lindos que yo no podía no comprarlos. Entré en la casa DC y comence a probar camisetas para hermano , me parecía muy extraño frente a la gente, pero no importa. Almorzamos en "Subway" , yo no estaba muy hambrienta , pero no estaba mal . Todos los chicos son muy agradables aquí .
Cuando fuimos dentro de la tienda de dulces que se sentía como un paraíso. Un montón de caramelos de extraños , eso era lo que toda mi vida yo estaba soñando .
