"I had a lot of fun with the friends I made"

Lilian Hoffs, student from USA

The classes were okay and the teachers were nice but I didn't take a placement test so the class was a little too hard for me. he students were playing on their phones a lot which I thought shouldn't have been allowed. It was nice to be able to go to town and buy stuff. I wish there had been more organized sports competitions like a volleyball game or something. Maybe we should be able to sign up ahead of time for the activities we like. I really had fun with the outdoor water balloon fight, going to the swimming pool, roasting marshmallows, having a barbecue, the talent show, and the treasure hunt. I wish we had been allowed to go back to the room after we were done eating instead of waiting for 30 minutes doing nothing. We should have been allowed to have WiFi because we had it anyways on our phone but it just made it more expensive for us to use it. There seems to be a lot of curse words used by students and teachers. I was not used to that so it shocked me. The food was okay but some was dried out like the couscous was dried out and had no flavor.
