52 days left

In 52 days I will sit in the air plane.
In 52 days I will left my family and my friends for a year.
I mean.. how is this even possible. How can I leave my home for an entire year?
How can I live in a family I barely know?

At the one hand I am so freaking happy about it, I mean I will discover a completely new country, a completely new city and a new school with new people in it. And EVERYTHING is new.
Because it's new I am afraid it.
I am afraid of leaving everything that matters behind. for. a. YEAR. 
And today I can't imagine that this happen to me.

Sometimes, when I sit in school or at home I think about the fact, that in 6 months from now I will sit in Ecuador and it will be normal for me. And I (hope I) will understand the teacher and my host family and it will be normal to eat breakfast together or stuff like that. It's strange, isn't it?

I am not ready to leave.
I graduated the 10th grade and so I have a school leaving certificate and in the last weeks I think about the fact, that I could be ready with school in a few weeks. And than, that I won't be ready to life alone or have a job for the rest of my life.
And it's the same with the exchange year, cause there it's like to life "alone" in a new house, new city, new family, to be completely responsible for myself the first time.
But also it's like I can't wait to sit in the air plane and meet my host family for the first time in real life and to learn everything about them and about Ambato (my host town) and the culture there...

Sooooo I am a little bit confused about myself xD, happy and sad at the same time, but I think it's normal for an exchange student...

The countdown is running.

Because you will never know.

Today my Host sister and I went into the centre of Ambato to eat something and to visit my mom in a hair-salon. After we visited our mother we walked around and I asked Cielo if she wants to drink a juice with me and she said yes. So we were walking into the direction of the "mercados", these are 3 markets halls here in Ambato. The biggest one is on one of the main streets and we were really close to this one but then I turned to another direction and Cielo was just like "Hanna where are we going? You just passed the market?" and I responded with "Mall de Frutas" (How we exchangers call the "mercado de frutas"). Cielo didn't know what I was talking about and where we were going and so I walked us to the "Mall de Frutas". In  this place works the mother of Arabellas, a girl from Estonia, dancing teacher and I wanted to buy my jugo there bc it is really good, so we bought it and after that some Ecuadorian food for lunch. After w

2 Weeks in my Host Family & first week of school

Two weeks ago, I arrived in my Host Family. I can't belive that I am here for 2 Weeks now.. I mean HOW?! The time passed so fast.. At the one hand I feel like I am being here for months, but on the other hand it feels like 4 days or something like that. I really like my host family , but the most my host sister, cause she is really nice to me and helps me with everything, also I can speak englsih with her. Her englsih is better than the english of the most people here, cause she tooked extra classes after school to learn english. Here you have to do that, If you want to leran real english... I get more used to spanish in the last two weeks, but I am still not really good with it. Also my fisrt school week is over. The name of my school is "Unidad Educativa Ambato" . We didn't really had classes this week, it was more for organize stuff and somethig like that. My classmates are really cool and also I like my school a lot, but it's soooooo different to Ger

1. Monat / 1st Month

English version below OMG ... kaum zu glauben.. mittlerweile bin ich seit 39 Tagen in diesem fremden Land mit der fremden Sprache. (Und ich lebe noch xD.) In den letzten Wochen ist viel passiert. Wie ich euch ja schon erzählt habe, bin ich in meiner Schule gut angekommen, mir gefällt meine Klasse immernoch sehr und auch die Schule an sich ist echt Klasse. Bis jetzt hatten wir noch keinen Englisch-Lehrer was ich echt schade finde, da englisch echt das einzige Fach hier wäre, in dem ich gute Noten schreiben würde. Aber hey.. ich habe mich damit abgefunden. Manchmal passieren echt komische Sachen in der Schule, z.B. in jeder, also wirklich JEDER , Pause, sagt mindestens eine Person Hola! zu mir die ich noch nie in meinem Lben gesehen habe, geschweigeden mit ihr gesprochen. Aber das ist her echt normal, denn als einziges blondes Mädchen auf der Schule, bin ich nunmal eine kuriosität xD. Oder ein anderes Beispiel: Am Freitag sollten wir alle unsere Sportuniform anziehen, auch wenn
