Easier than you think

Once we were at the Meijer, we saw some tennis rackets, much cheaper than in Norway. We did not buy them then, but some days later, we did. We did not know exactly where the tennis court was, so we trained outside our house. Here is a picture from the parking lot outside our house.


On her way home from the university, Biljana saw many tennis courts where we could play for free. We still play on the parking lot if we just want to train a little bit and don’t want to go all the way to the courts.


The first day I started at the Urbana Middle School there was a test in Math. Since they had learned something that I did not learn in Norway, it didn’t go so well with me… I got a F :( But it is going better and better now. I am doing well in classes - I even got some “A+” in the subject “consumer foods”, and regular “A’s” in: Homework Connections, PE (gym), English, Math Literacy, Consumer Foods, Science, Math and Social Studies.

There is a very good food for lunch in the cafeteria, such as: pizza, cheese- /hamburger, pasta, French fries and you can choose between chocolate milk and regular milk. They call “beverage” what you want to drink.
