First off, I start at 8:30 or 10:10 depending on the day, due to which classes I have. I can end at any time between 11:30 and 16:00 (5PM). Once again depending on the classes. Here are the classes I took this week; Swedish, philosophy, English, Spanish, & Italian. So you can guess which ones I did absolutely nothing in and which ones I was actually able to participate in. Basically my point is school was rather boring this week, surprise! I mean I don't know what I was expecting, but I was hoping for a little more umph. Anyway I feel like there is alot of wasted time at school, who really needs twenty minutes for passing, hello its pretty much one building and some stairs. But yeah I guess if you have classes at one of the other sister/brother school you might need some time. Ohh and another time waster, lunch. A whole hour for lunch, in the work world that's great, but for school I'd rather have like thirty minutes.
Somethings that are different from CURTIS :) and Olympia are...
- teachers & students = almost same level
lunch = one choice (unless you count the vegetarian meal), free, all you can eat, real silverware, plates & glasses
leaving campus = a okay
smoking= allowed, preferably in the parking lot of the school
cussing= fine, even the teachers pitch in a few words here and there
cell phones & ipods= not a problem unless it's disrupting class
laptops= every student will have one
hmmm, think i covered most of it.
On Tuesday I will finally meet with a principal to discuss my schedule. So looking forward to that afternoon. For now I'll have just some temporary classes on Monday and Tuesday. I don't know what else there is to say about school, kids are nice...but it's seems like the girls are all very preppy as well as the guys. But they all seem to get along, so far I haven't really distinguished any cliques.
Gym, Gym, Gym. Emilia and I went on Wednesday (Onsdag) and this afternoon (Fredag). That was wonderful, it's been over two months since I've been in the weight room. Slightly sore, but I feel so much better after going. Today I actually jogged 1.25 miles then lifted weights, and did some squats and power cleans. Gahhh, pain. But I love doing them, so oh well. I need to try to get into better shape, 1: for my health, 2: for wrestling next year. I'm hoping to go Monday, Wednesday, & Friday after school. I also want to do boxing, will see about that. Or at least some type of sport!

| This crepe just hit the spot. |
Yesterday, there was a french market here...I think it was here today also. It had some vendors with items like, cheese, sausage, soap, crepes, candy, and more. It was nice to see, and the food all looked so good. I had a jam filled crepe topped with whipped cream. Mmmmm :) sooo yummmy. Ahh, well I think that is all for this week, not much happened. Don't think I've left anything out, well maybe a little, but nothing bad, just stuff not worth posting. (Like how on Tuesday night I was overwhelmed and got really homesick, it was not a good day ): )
