Labai gerai (Very well/good)

I'm sorry it has taken so long to make another post! Thankfully, I've been busy! Where I left off however long ago, I said that I was kind of homesick still, and I didn't know much of the language. I still am kind of homesick, but its getting a lot better! The thing I miss most is just talking to people that I'm close with. It doesn't help that I keep seeing people that look familiar too! Out of the corner of my eye, I'll think I see someone I know, but when I look it's not them; of course. I am picking up more of the language, but I don't know what kind of conversation I could have. Not one of good quality that's for sure. It will take time, but I'll get it.
Some points of interest from the last few weeks:
I went to the Rotary Olympics here in Lithuania. It was pretty fun. Two of the other exchange students were there. We wanted to watch some of the games, but we couldn't find where at leas 150 Rotarians disappeared to! We ended up wandering around the town which was very nice. Druskininkai, a resort town very close to Poland.
I also watched the Lithuania vs. U.S.A. basketball game! That was quite the experience! I also watched the next game against Serbia where Lithuania won 3rd place! After Lithuania beat Serbia, my host dad took me to the city center and we were caught up in traffic where there were people yelling out of their cars and horns honking like crazy. On the sidewalks, people were everywhere. They were yelling and running. It was awesome to watch.
I have been sick for a few days. It started with headaches and now it turned into a cold. I'm feeling better each day though. Nothing sleep and a little ancient Chineese medecine can't fix!
School has been going well also. I still don't do much in most classes. I just sit there and listen to the language. The classes where I'm 'active' are English, duh, and math. A lot of the math we're doing is either something we did last year in geometry, or based on it where its easy to figure out. Today, it was one kid's birthday, so some of us put on party hats and gave him a sparkling juice and I think it was a cupcake. It was really fun! He ended up passing the juice around for everyone to drink, our teacher had to smell it to make sure it wasn't alcohol!
Right now, I'm done with school for the day, and I'm at home until I go to basketball training (practice). Currently, I'm eating chocolate, something that is AMAZING here! I love it, probably too much. I also am drinking chocolate milk! Its called Miau, like Meow. I was drinking it at the bus stop on the way home from school and some little kid that passed me, meow-ed at me! I wasn't sure what to do. Being here, it is really difficult to think that if I were in America, at St. Marys, I would be in Stratford, Canada right now. I can't even picture myself there! On Thursday, I will have been gone one month. Time is flying!
With love,
