What is school compared to the Swedish school?

The school is very different. First of all don’t they have one group and then different subjects with that group. They have first one class that starts at 07:37 am. Then it’s is another class that starts later with a new group of people, like in high school movies. When the first two classes are over half of the school has lunch while the rest of the students have one more class. After that the switch. The lunch is also very different. There is a cafeteria where you eat food you brought to school or you can buy food. There is wraps to buy, pizza, cookies, ice cream, pasta and cheese and some other stuff. The wraps you get to decide what is going to be in them and which bread. They are really tasty I think. The lunch usually cost fewer than 4 dollars. There is also a school restaurant to buy food. They haven’t opened yet but they are opening on Tuesday next week. The restaurant is where I have my food service class. Right now we are learning how to make the food and when the open we get to make it. I don’t really know what you can buy there except for pizzas and wraps.

Have you visited the Amish people?

I haven’t gone to their house yet but I’ve talked to them. Perry is the name of one of them. He is a really good friend of the family I live in. His son is also a good friend but he left the Amish community to live like we do and therefore wont his family talk to him anymore. Perry tasted the chocolate from Sweden and loved it! 

Which subject to you have?

First hour I have astronomy, second hour I have graphics, third hour I have food service, forth hour I have earth science and fifth hour I have English. 

What do you do on the week-ends?

I do different stuff every week-end. This week-end we first went shopping (on Friday), then we went to Jordan’s work and talked to him and Nick a while. After that we went to Chloe’s bonfire and I met some nice people there.

On Saturday we went to Romana’s horse show. It was freezing and it rained. But I ate to huge and sooo tasty wraps and that was good. It’s also fun to see people ride western style.

On Sunday me and Tanya went to a meeting with our coordinator, Lisa, and some other exchange students. There were no one from Sweden but two from Norway. But I didn’t have time to talk to them. The meeting was mostly to help the student and the host parents to talk to each other about rules and stuff. 

What do you do after school?

After school I sometimes go to a store, or to Tanya’s work to talk to her, or to the gas station or something like that. Then we go home. Usually I and Romana get something to eat and watch TV a little while. After that we feed to horses and clean the stable. Today I painted the fence. I talk to my host mother sometimes about stuff. It depends on the day.
