A relaxing day in Iowa

🇩🇪

A warm welcome back to the readers of our travel blog.

Time in the USA is flying by, which is why I have to sadly inform you that the first week of school in Iowa is coming to an end tomorrow. 🥲Despite this, I have already taken so much with me in the last few days. Many new impressions, habits and above all many new experiences.

My day started at 8:30 because my host's classes started in the second block. So I could sleep in, relax, and eat some crepes for breakfast. At 9:00 I went to school by car, where I arrived at 9:20.

When I arrived in the second block, we, the Kennedy group, met at 9:30 in the foyer, where we then went to a room to talk about things like next week's timetable, the return flight, and the impressions of the last few days.

At 11:10 I had Psychology. Here we got a worksheet that said that a girl had an accident and had suffered brain damage as a result.

Here we talked about the different parts of the brain and the effects they have when they are damaged. I found the subject very interesting because we do not have such courses at home.

But before we could start this, there was lunch at 11:40 that we spent in the band room because the cafeteria was too crowded. For lunch, I had a sandwich, cookies, grapes, and a smoothie that I brought from home because the food in the cafeteria is not really good.

At 12:15 we continued with Psychology. We finished the worksheet and the teacher gave tips again for the upcoming test on the biological basis of behavior on Monday. For this, we played Kahoot to clarify some terms again.

At 1:15 I continued with Statistics, where we learned about correlation, a new topic. While we were writing down what was on the blackboard, we talked about various things, such as how my name is pronounced, which was not so easy for the teacher.

Just as we were finished writing everything down, two girls came in to give me a Kennedy T-shirt, which made me very happy. Towards the end, we practiced a few exercises on today's topic until the bell announced the end of school at 2:50.

Shortly after, we were already sitting in the car to drive back home. When we arrived home at 3:15, I first had a small snack, cuddled with the cat, and took a little nap.

A brief nap turned into a somewhat longer one because when I woke up, it was already half past six and dinner would be served in half an hour. For dinner, we had hamburgers, fries, and corn which I was very happy about because it was very tasty.

Now this relaxing day is slowly coming to an end for me, which we will end with a movie.

I hope you enjoyed today's blog entry. 😉
