real student exchange program
A student exchange program is a program in which a student, chooses to live in a foreign country to learn, among other things, language and culture.Students live with a host family, who are usually unpaid volunteers and can be a traditional family, a single parent, or a couple with no children at home.
Student exchanges became popular after World War II, and have the aim of helping to increase the participants' understanding and tolerance of other culture, as well as improving their language skills and broadening their social horizons.
An exchange student typically stays in the host country for a relatively short period of time, often 6 to 10 months.
Some students on exchange programs can receive academic credit from the country they study in.

finally back
i m sitting in my class, with my classmates, just chilling during our training.
on sunday morning i' m gonna leave with my classmates, we're gonna go to Cefalu( tht 's an island in Sicily), i'm very happy of that, i've been missing them so much!!! and everything is so weird since i m here. the first week was the hardest one, i was ready, i knew it was hard, but i didn't expect that much!!! everything was different just being the same. my friends, my family, y city, how can it be everything so different? the second week as getting better, but then i felt sick!!!WTF!!!! finally now i got back to school and i m really loocking forward to leave, i really need sometime to think bout everything.
since i m here i m not been talking with my hosting family that much, i really miss them, really bad, but that's so weird talk to them, thiking hat we're so far away eachother, we used to get up together, get breakfast together, spend the whole day together, and now i here , they r there, in their practice, just working, and i know tht it's not that easy to go there to meeting up. i wish it was easyer.my hosting family called me last week , it was very exciting, i was very happy of that, but i was also very sick, so i couldn't talk that much,than during the week i called Anique ( my sista) we talked a little, but it was even more weird, i had so much to tell to her, but talking just by a screem can be very annoyng,that was terribly hard.
day by day everything is more confused in my mind, i m really confused bout everything, i dunno who i am anymore, i don't know what i like anymore. at first in holland i tought i would have learnt to better understand myself, i tought after holland everything would have been easyer, but that's not like that!! i had to learn to know myself, there i doscovered a new myself, and now i gotta get used to be here again, but now it's a new me, and i dunno how can it fit.
CEFALU HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

i miss my boyfriend, my brother, my friends, my family, i miss italian food, i miss the smell of my city,i miss the sun,i miss the sea, i miss so much from my home country, i cannot stand it anymore.
look i don't wanna say that i hate this place and theese people at all, cuz i don't think so.
ja it's true our cultures are very different each other, but i learnt a lot on them and now i can understand much more bout dutch people.
wht i really miss is our way to show love and friendship.i miss to lie down on the couch hugging my friends, hanging out everyday with new people, talking hours and hours at phone even aware tht we're gonna meet in few minutes, never being quite NEVER!!! maybe that's one of the thing i miss the most our KAOS.
i'm gonna miss everything here, but we cannot have everything toch. i m gonna miss speaking dutch, i m gonna miss speaking english, i m gonna miss my hostfamily, i m gonna miss the stink of the boederijen, i m gonna miss this huge sky,i m gonna miss weed, and i m gonna miss the exchange students meeting .

5 manden + iets (ita-eng)
Jan è ancora a lavoro, quando finisce andrà a prendere delle pizze...
Nell'attesa Hanne si prepara una tazza di zuppa,prende una tazza, ci butta dentro della polvere misteriosa, aggiunge dell'acqua e mette la pastrocchia nel microonde, 1 minuto e il tutto è pronto.
Ho deciso di non fare la schizzinosa e di farmene una anche io...risultato: una puzza terribile,della sbobbetta gialla galleggiante e continui rumori di stomaco... allora decido che ho toccato il fondo e provo a far mangiare i rimasugli a citah (il mio cane), citah mangia di tutto dalla carne alle verdure, e persino la frutta, non c'è nulla che non le piaccia...la chiamo, arriva quindi scodinzolante, le avvicino la zuppa,immediatamente la coda finisce tra le gambe e citah inizia a d indietreggiare,ho aperto il cestino e ho gettato il tutto.
PROMEMORIA: mai mangiare una "cup a soup"!!!
scusate, ma ora scappo al bagno.
tonight Hanne is not eating at home, and Anique aswell.
Jan is still at work...and when he finish is gonna get some pizzas.
Pending Hanne prepares a cup of soup,takes a cup, threws in themysterious powder, adds water and puts that shit in the microwave,1 minute and everything is ready.
so i decided to be openminded and to try that stuff, rsullt: i still stink of that stuff, the taste was horrible, noise from my stomach and that nasty yellow stuff in the cup was still floating in the resting soup, but i was not brave enough to eat it, so i called citah ( my dog) she relly does like everything, from meat,to vegetables, and even fruit, then she came wagging, approached the soup and than started to walk backward and her tail was all of a sudden between her legs.i threw everything away.
REMINDER: Never eat "a cup of soup" again!!!
now i beg ur pardon, but i gotta go to the bathroom :p
echte erg!!!
