Ilma

Here's an awesome story about my day.
Yesterday we got a exchange student named Ilma. She is from Germany. Well, if you don't know what an exchange student is, well I will tell you. An exchange student is a person that comes from another Country to learn more about where they are visiting. So Ilma is here to learn more about Atlanta/Georgia. I am very happy that we got a new exchange student because it is so fun, and Ilma is really nice.
Now I am going to tell you more about yesterday. Yesterday we went to the airport to pick up Ilma. We drove all the way there from my friend's house -- her name is Catherine. When we got to the airport we took everything we needed. What I took was a big poster paper so we could write a Welcome poster. I also took a few markers. We took the elevator down to the building. CRANK, CRANK, CRANK the elevator was making really loud noises. We haulted to a stop the door slipped open and we were facing the airport. We walked in slowly. The cold air conditioning felt good on my face. I raced to the bathroom because I had to go very badly. And because there was a counter in the bathroom, I made my poster in there. I know it was weird but I made my poster in the BATHROOM! I made my sign along the front it said WELCOME ILMA in huge cursive letters. I ran outside of the bathroom holding my poster with a huge Red Star balloon on it hoping she didn't come yet. I jumped inside the huge crowd that was waiting for their own exchange students. We waited like for 30 minutes bielive it or not I was worried that I had missed Ilma's arrival. I was about falling asleep when I saw a pretty face ILMA, ILMA, ILMA I said in my mind. I held my sign high. She gave me and Campbell a hug and we all greeted each other. We grabbed her bags and got in the car. We drove home. When I got home I smelled dinner cooking. Mmmm. It was yummy pasta for dinner. Ilma gave us some presents brought from Germany which was a bunch of candy, a German cook book for my mom and Perfume for Campbell. After that we ate dinner. Then I did my homework which was L.A., Reading, Math, and Science. I went to sleep. While I was going to sleep I thought -- what a great day. Well that's what happened yesterday. Thanks for reading.
