You know you've been an exchange student when...

Ja samas stiilis asi vahetusõpilaste kohta.

1. you think 100 pounds to pack up your entire life is plenty of space.
2. you spend a lot of time smiling, nodding, and pretending you understand what's going on.
3. you classify "doing your homework" as translating half of it. And that alone took three hours.
4. you want to hug the people who attempt to speak your native language to you.
5. you'll read anything in your native language just to have something to read...even packaging labels.
6. you sometimes walk around the school during breaks to act like you're doing something, because you don't see anyone you recognize and don't want to stand there awkwardly. (LIIIGA HEA!! xD)
7. you've gotten annoyed with said people that automatically answer you in English when you try to speak to them in their language.
8. your dreams are bilingual. (ei ole midagi nilbet, õppige inglise keel ära!!)
   
9. ]sometimes it takes you about 5 minutes to remember a word in your native language that you were going to use. ("No....umm...ehhh....pfff..uhhh...TSAU!")
10. you automatically use words in a foreign language that you cant even translate but they just seem to fit the context.
11. you've gotten upset because someone assumed you wanted to do something...and then were told you were asked if you wanted too, and you said yes!
12. you've said something like 'oh yes' or 'not thanks' only to have everyone laugh because your answer made no sense compared to the question.
13. you always forget the time difference when you call a friend or family member back home.....sorry for waking you up at 4 AM mom. (seda ma pole teinud, aga pidin haigeks naerma end selle peale!!!)
14. you do something wrong and people look at you weird, your excuse is "That's how we do it in my country" even if it isn't.
15. you try to speak in the native language and everyone immediately knows "You're not from around here". (Ülinõme kui arvad, et oskad mingi eriti hästi juba rääkida ja esimese sõna peale öeldakse, et "Kust sa pärit oled?")
16. you know every curse word in your host language, but still cant conjugate into past or future tense.
17. a conversation is going fine, before it suddenly get stuck on some word or phrase which makes you completely forget what you were talking about. (Liiga naljakas!!!)
