During the last month I have attended two Rotary meetings. At the first meeting, all of the exchange students were introduced to the members of the Club. We then discussed possible community service opportunities that we could participate in. During the second meeting, the majority of the meeting was spent discussing whether or not the Exchange students should take language classes at the local University.

I have been attending school regularly. However, because it is the 'National Festival of the Students' in September, all of the local schools have been working on their parade floats, so most of my time in school has been spent making paper flowers. Once the festival is over at the end of September, normal classes will start up again. I have also been attending a local gymnasium to work out, and in addition to that have been taking Jui-Jitsu classes at another local gym.

I am in good health. I had a minor cold early on, but that has since gone away.
