Brooklyn

Today was a calm day. School was very good, we learned something and talked a lot. The test on Monday was pretty good, I had just two mistakes, the best result in our class. After class we were in the Students Lounge, checking mails, reading, talking. David was ill, probably because of the food he had yesterday, so he didn't want do go in the city. I also took the chance to have a day without so much program. I went home to take my notebook to school, so David and I could share our fotos with each other in the school. He has a quite expensive and good camera and I had some more fotos. After that I took a train to Brooklyn, but not directly home, so I could see some more of Brooklyn, which was pretty nice. I bought some bagels, cheese, water and yoghurt. I didn't buy fruit because Sonelius has always a lot of bananas, oranges, kiwis and more. Almost next to each other there were four completely different ways to buy groceries. A small street stand, an ordinary supermarket, a small shop for vegetables and fruit, everything organic and without packing (it looked like Hof-Läden in Germany) and Trader Joe's, which looked like an old market hall and had the widest range of products. 
I get more used to the life here every day and life becomes more familiar to me. 
It is a great and interesting feeling, when you think about the fact, that almost every American is an immigrant in any generation. 
Since I already finished my homework, I will go to bed now, to get some more sleep than the other days.
