School!

So johan decided we should call it "social networking"(SN) rather than ehh school.
so oh monday my very first day of swedish SN, i went at 10 and basically meet my class and take role. In swedish SN, you have a class that basically all have the same schedule, except some kids have extra classes or are taking a different language, and the same kids are in all your classes. it was really awkward walking into school the first day because i knew nobody so i just sat there and watched some people stare at me, eventually they came up and talked to me, but it was very awkward lol. then after sn i came home and oscar was having a fika with his class so i met some of them and they seem very nice.
then the next day at sn, we went to oxelösund to do some team building things. like we all tied a rope around our wastes, then cliped it to another rope that went around trees and under things just basically a huge knot and we had to follow it to the other side. at one point you have to belly crawl through the mud! that part wasn't very fun, but its ok i bonded with my classmates. then after those kind of activities i went kayaking on the baltic! it was really cool, but pretty boring because i didnt know where to go or what to do, but still an experience. we were done with everything 2 hours early so some of the foreign exchangers who just got back to sweden talked to me and gave me some advice, even taught me how to play burken-can. that was interesting and i failed so hard, but it started to rain so we didnt get to finish oh well. it was actually a pretty fun day at sn.
on wednesday we went back to oxelösund to SSAB to look at how steel is made, i think, i couldn't understand anything so i just sat in the back trying not to fall asleep. it was so freakin boring! then we went to look at like a sewer place, but it was all natural so we were outside looking at nasty bodies of water who are supposed to filter themselves and end up in the sea, yeah not really sure but thats what i got out of some people trying to explain it to me in simple english. it was ok but we had to walk 2 kilometers there and 2 back and on the way back it started to POUR rain and i got sooooo soaked! not really fun. thats the wierd thing in sweden, the rain comes from no where then disappears again! i dont get it. yeah so i came home super wet and that kind of sucked. then it was oscars last day so we hung out and bonded, but it was really sad when his family were saying goodbye. it brought back so many memories and i got pretty homesick, but i know hes having an amazing time in france and so i was really happy/excited for him!
thursday i actually went to a real day of sn. i didnt understand jack shit, but i went. i had math like 10th grade math, english dont know why but i did, physics i think and PE. it was ok day at school, met some friends and now i know what to expect with school. then i had a fika with Filip so that was pretty cool, fikas are awesome basically, there tea parties and all the rage here in sweden! i had fun.
friday was a very short day for me so not to interesting, went to a rotary meeting didnt understand, then came home and got invited to a fika with my classmates. that was fun, a little awkward but fun :) so that was my first week of sn!
saturday i had a kräftskiva, no joke you eat crawdads. so gross i almost vomited. some families came over and they had little kids who would just destroy the crawdads and rip them apart, eh nasty! i am getting a little sick just thinking about it, but it was ok, the little kids were pointing and whispering about me in swedish so i felt a little awkward, but it was ok.

Differences between schools:
you must take of your shoes before you enter, and you just leave them sitting out in the open, but nobody steals your shoes.
there are no bells and teacher can let you out whenever they want
you get free good lunches
your schedule changes each day
you travel in classes
i dont understand anything

other things,
it can just get really quite out of no where with a bunch of people, its just how it is i guess, kind of awkward.
its FREEZING!! im scared for the winter :(
its strange to walk into school and not see MY friends
Im finally the foreign exchange kid!!!!!!!! so excited!

I love you and miss you all! wish you could be here to experience it with me!
