A few days ago I went to visit my host family and my host mother started complaining that her daughter, Michelle, spends all her time in the house watching TV and playing on the computer. I offered to take Michelle to try out a dance class that I used to take. My host mom thought that that was a great idea, so today Michelle, her neighbor, and I went to try out a dance class. I was a great workout and I think they really like it.

On the way home, I, being an idiot, left my wallet on the bus. Idiot, idiot, IDIOT!!! Fortunately, I realized it about 2 minutes after I got off the busy and even more fortunately, I live not too far from the end of the line and was dressed in my workout clothes. I began to chase after the bus and managed to catch it as it was returning. I hopped on the bus and began to search for my wallet. The guy who collects the money for the passage found it! Of course, all the money was gone, but I got my cards back. I lost a little over $20, but the cards were the most valuable…. At least that is what I keep reminding myself. Idiot.

To make myself feel better I watched a movie my friend had lent me. American History X. It was a good movie, but let’s just say I didn’t feel any better. It was depressing!
