a day at home

Hey guys!
I couldn't write in English for a while. I was so busy and I just had enough time to write somethings in Turkish.
I want to tell you about my last days.
Last weekend was great.. We had a mini home-party with the other exchange students at Ufuk's home. Also, sun was shining and I didn't feel like depressed.
Everything is going better at school, too. I started to talk more with my classmates, and feel like they care about me. I didn't feel alone in the classroom during the week. I hope it won't change until the weekend.
I have fun with my friends and I like to talk to them. We started to talk in Norwegian, but of course I sometimes need translation. I can find something to talk and we usually chat during the lunch break or between classes nowadays.
Lea and I always chat on Facebook after school, she is so nice and kind to me, she helps me about EVERYTHING. I think I get along with her.
We usually had to work in groups that week. So I talked with almost everyone in the class. Also I understand Norwegian more and more everyday. Even it's still so hard to make a sentence quickly, at least I know what they are talking about.
But I miss my friends, I talked with my friends from AFS Turkey, we shared our opinions about our exchange lives and things like that. After that, I made a Skype call with one of my best friends in Turkey, Seyma.
On Tuesday, we had some conferences all day. First, we watched videos from schools in Colombia, then, a Colombian man who has lived in Norway with his wife for 10 years, introduced us his country. (In addition, he was speaking Norwegian but he was slow, and that was perfect for me, I understood all the presentation). After that, there were many conferences about many subjects at the same time. We've chosen the conferences that we want to go before Tuesday. The conferences that I had were about woman rights and sexual abusement at schools.
And today, didn't go to school because we worked to earn money. The money that we earned will be sent to Colombia. Some of my friends collected money from people in the streets, did housework at home or made some cakes and sold. I did housework, I washed all windows at home. Actually I don't do housework in Turkey, that was my first time that I cleaned a window. But I think windows are shining now, because of my Turkish girl power ;)
Then, I played with Duolingo. Actually I was planning to study Norwegian with my A1-A2 level books, but I was a bit tired so I just opened Duolingo app and learnt some new words in Norwegian.
When my phone's battery charge came to the end, I turned off my phone and started to search for some recipes of Turkish cuisine. I asked my mom, dad and grandma to get some recipes.
I always thought that the only thing that can make my exchange year hard is the weather. But now, I think the biggest problem is missing the Turkish food. I really like Norwegian food, I don't say that norsk mat is bad. Actually I eat a lot because Norwegian food is new and so delicious to me.
So I planned to show my host family the Turkish breakfast on a Sunday or make a good dinner with easy recipes.
It started to rain on Monday again. Sometimes we can see the sun, too.
I count days to Arrival Camp Part 2.
I count days to Imagine Dragons concert.
And that's all from me ^^
