My life in Logroño

During my student exchange, my daily routine is a bit different from the one I have in Germany, but there are also many similarities.

I usually wake up at 7:30 a.m. Then, at around 8:15, I go to school together with my exchange partner, her mother, and a friend of hers so that we arrive on time for the start of school.

Once I’m at school, I attend classes like everyone else. During library periods, however, I often use the time to catch up on my own schoolwork from Germany. I usually spent the long 30-minute break with the other German exchange students.At 2:20 p.m., I walk home with my exchange partner and her friends.

When we get home, lunch is usually already prepared by her father who cooks for us almost every day. In the afternoons, I either relax, do homework, or go to a very well-known shopping center near where I live. In addition I also like meeting with the German girls.

Sometimes, I also take part in my exchange partner’s karate classes, which I really enjoy. In the evenings, at around 8 or 9 p.m., we have dinner together. Afterwards, I often watch TV with my host family, for example football matches, which is always fun.

On the weekends, we often go on trips together or explore the acient part of the town Logroño.

For example, the last weekend we went to a lake about 15 minutes away from Logroño to go for a walk. In addition, my exchange partner and I often meet her friends to spend time together. We have also been to an ice hockey game and a handball match to watch some of her friends play, which was a lot of fun.

Overall, I can say that my daily life here is different from my life in Germany, but it also has many things in common.
