Week 3

School, school, school … and finally weekend! ... 10/15/12 – 10/21/12

 

This week has been so busy when it comes to school. After Vancouver I was a little bit behind with all of our schoolwork – but I made it all in time!

It has been so busy because this Tuesday we had our first three hours lab – yes three whole hours in the lab in chemistry! Besides that I also had 4 assignments, a presentation and a lot of homework.

Unfortunately the next weeks will be like that too…

But because we all want to experience some things, we still have time for that (sometimes) – the only negative thing about it, is that the schoolwork will be done just in time, but that’s just how it is!

Because of the schoolwork I didn’t have time, for much else to do before Thursday evening – done with all with assignments and homework. So Simone, Line, Cecilia, Sara and some of the boys had dinner at Macaroni. It is an Italian restaurant, so no fast food – delightful!

FRIDAY = HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

At Friday we could finally enjoy the weekend, after a busy school week!

So a first the whole class were invited to dinner at Victor Friday, where his host mom also had invited us all to a real high school football game- which we all were excited about.

After the dinner we took the bus to Edmonds Woodway High School. When we came to the stadium, where the game was, we were all more excited! We had been talking about, if it would be like in movies with a big orchestra and cheerleaders.

I can tell that we weren’t disappointed! There were such a fantastic atmosphere and it was “only” a high school game. There was a big orchestra, cheerleaders and people were really in a good mood. They backed up their team as good as possible!

So overall the experience with a high school football game, was like a movie!

Here you can see a little part

Ready to start the game!

We were cheered on the blue team

A touchdown to the team we cheered for – but unfortunately they lost the game

Saturday I was at Elise the whole day and we just had a really relaxing day a home with movies, chips and soda.

At evening we had dinner with the whole class to celebrate Alexander’s 18 birthday. Elise and I were in good time to take the bus, so we got this idea, that we had to buy a present to Alexander – and since Halloween is so big over here, when why not buy him a pumpkin, a big one! So we bought this big pumpkin to him. The only problem was just to carry it and of course we got off the bus the soon, so we had to carry it even longer. Then we got to the Alderwood center, Elise carried the pumpkin and I have never seen so many eyes on her before. But we made it and had a lot of fun about it!

After the dinner Elise, Niron, Jesper and I went home to Nicklas, where we just watched a movie, played pool and cards with his host brothers – a good and relaxing day!

On our way to the birthday with our pumpkin – we had to walk a bit longer…

While Elise was walking with the pumpkin in Macy’s, which we laughed a lot about!

Sunday was just one more relaxing day with movie, more chips and soda together with Elise.
