                                          Me and Caitlin 'CAVALIER!'


Weeeeeeeee!

     Just to prove that the most boring things look awesome with panaroma!
We had an orientation weekend in Linkoping with all of the exchange students in our district, and three past exchange students that organised all the activities. The most memorable thing from the weekend was well that it was cold! I was as most of the time dressed badly for the weather conditions. We went on sleds down the hill which was really fun, then froze out side around a lovely smoky fire that my hair still stinks from. Then we had a nice relaxing movie night which was good cause we watched 'I love you man' which I think is really good, besides the fact that every time the main actor opens his mouth I cringe at the awkwardess of everything he says!
The next day we went to a traditional Swedish farm which was pretty cool to see how it all works and the adorable red and white houses everywhere. But as well as being a crop farm it also had chickens which was horrible! I got a glimpse of them all in cages and just wanted to run out into the freezing cold and never go back in (which I did). But the best part was going into the massive but utterly beautiful home they had on the property, I have never been in a house that fancy before it was so cool, it had been passed down through something like 17 generations!
Then that night when I got back to my host family we went to the cinema and saw 'The Kings Speech' which I thought was really good, I love knowing all that behind the scenes in history stuff.
But anyway I'm back to school now so I'll how the excitement holds up!
