The Next Half Of My Year

So I'm in the mood to blog right now, so here's a layout of what the rest of my year is going to look like.
Just a couple of days ago we welcomed out Newbies to Switzerland so this month I'm probably going to be showing my Newbies around Bern and teaching hem how to use the trams and trains.
In February a lot is going on. I have a Blockwoche coming up where I will be traveling to the Emmental Region of Switzi and learning all about Swiss culture for an entire week. After that i have Sportsferien, which I will be spending up in Flims with my first host family. The Berner Fasnacht is near the end of the month and I'm so excited for it! I definitely want to go to more than just one so I'm looking at going to the Basel Fasnacht as well, because it's the most famous one here in Switzi. Also we have another Rotex/Rotary weekend in Engelberg - this will be the first one with the Newbies! I am also going to a Milky Chance concert with a couple of other exchange students and I'm really looking forward to it!
***In March I am hoping to be able to go to Spain to visit Zephyr (my best friend who is also on exchange this year in Spain) for about 5 days.
In April spring vacation starts and I will be spending it in Germany with my first host family at a family reunion! That is for the first week of April and then I come back and go straight to my 3 week Eurotour! This is the first year in quite a while that Swiss Rotary has allowed us to do the Eurotour and all of the exchangers are super excited for it. I will be traveling all around Europe; from Paris --> Amsterdam --> Brussels --> Berlin --> Budapest --> Prague --> Bratislava --> Vienna --> Postojna --> Venice --> Rome --> The Vatican City --> Milan. After I come back from my Eurotour I will be switching host families and going to live in Stettlen.
In May is mainly just school and traveling around some more. Swimming in the Aare and hanging out with friends on the weekend. I will also check out the BEA Horse Exhibition, which is just like a Fair with livestock and an amusement park and little booths to shop at. Basically May is going to be a really relaxed month for me.
June will be my last month here, and it is also the last month of school. I also plan to spend the weekends chilling in Bern or exploring more of Switzerland. I'm planning on getting together a bunch of Swiss friends and exchange students to float down the Aare with me, sort of as a going away thing.
And that's about it for the rest of my exchange! Of course more things will come up and I'll be doing a lot more, but for now that's what's planned!

***This is very tentative and I'm still in the process of getting Rotary approval. Fingers crossed though!
