After enjoying the snow, Martina Díaz Fernández (S6H) gets ready to say good-bye. Here's her last report from California:
"On Friday last we hung out in the centre of Walnut Creek with Kelsey’s friends and at night we packed and got ready for our skiing trip. The next morning we left early and after a four-hour car ride we arrived at Kirkwood mountain ski resort, near Lake Tahoe. On the way there we had stopped to have breakfast at the city of Jackson. Once in Kirkwood we stayed at a cabin that belongs to Paige's family (a friend of Kelsey’s ). On the first day we rented our skis, rested, watched some movies and had dinner all together.
Saturday was a long and awesome skiing day! I found Kirkwood similar to Bariloche. The resort was not so busy and the day was beautiful... Just see the pictures! On Sunday, unfortunately we could only ski half the day, because we needed to get ready to leave. I had a great time skiing and Paige’s family were all very nice! I loved that place...
Tomorrow is my last day at Athenian and on Wednesday 20th I am returning home to start my school year at BDS. I must say I had a great time during this trip: I met new people, practiced and improved my English and I was able to fully immerse myself in another culture. Living with an US family and attending such a different school made my experience unique and I am very happy I had the chance to be a part of it. I will take great memories with me. Moreover, not only did I get to know a new city but also let the people I met learn something about my country. I am very proud to be one of the first students in the school to have gone on exchange with Round Square, and I really hope this policy will continue... It's been a unique experience indeed!"

A new report by Martina Díaz Fernández (S6H) about her exchange experience at The Athenian School, in San Francisco Bay:
"Last week went by very fast! It was my last full week at Athenian... I am enjoying this wonderful experience and practising my English a lot, because although some people speak a little Spanish, they are not used at all to the Argentinan accent and it is hard for them to understand me! Anyway, my favourite classes are those of Spanish, where I have helped my classmates and also provided them with information about Argentinian culture, which they knew nothing about! I also took a 3D Art class, where I've been working with metal to create an owl neckless, sawing and melting metal. In Economics, I attended a Skype session with a Bangladesh Economic teacher, in which I learned about the Grameen banking system... After school we usually either go back to Kelsey's to study (where I work on my summer reading for BDS), or go to a gym to work out.
On Thursday, Mark introduced me to Michaela and Sarah at lunchtime, the two girls who will be probably visiting BDS in August as exchange students. They asked me lots of questions about the school and the country, and I'm looking forward to seeing them in BA. Friday was a holiday and so is next Monday (President's Day), so we are going skiing!"
