Finally, a break

 I have been slacking on my blog duties again I know. But it's finally Friday afternoon and I can catch you all up on what has been happening. 

Honestly what has been taking up most of my time lately has been school. In Chemistry we've done a 3 part series of labs and it was finally time for the lab report. I don't want to bore you with details, but it ended up being 16 pages. Needless to say it took a ton of time. 

Just a side comment, there is a new show here called Welcome to Sweden. Starring Greg Poehler (brother of Amy Poehler from Parks and Recreation) Anyway the show is reality based and the last episode even featured WIll Ferrel. Anyway this Sweden produced show will air on NBC! I think it starts this summer and EVERYONE should watch it. FIlmed in Sweden and really really funny. 

Oh goodness last Saturday i did the Högeskoleprov. The equivalent of ACT or SAT, but worse. First of all we started at 8. There were 5 session, 40 questions each, 55 minutes each. Breaks included, we were done at 4.15. It was torture. But the cool thing is that after each session you get 5 minutes to copy your answers (all multiple choice) from the test paper to another paper. And then at 5pm that night they release the answers! And at 6pm the questions! So I graded myself. The tricky thing is that scoring flucuates every year. Scores are from a 2.0 scale. For example, I got 64 out of 80 on the math section. One year that might be a 1.8 and the next year a 1.7. But I graded all the sections (2 math, 2 Swedish) (and there is one seciton that doesn't count, before the test we don't know which section won't count and it's pretty much to test questions for next year) So according to my unofficial calculations I got 1.55. We'll get the officiall results in a month but I think that's pretty good. But let me tell you that after I was more mentally exhauated then I think I have ever been. (Might I just mention that on the Swedish vocabulary section I got about 7 out of 20)

The weather in Helsingborg had been really tricky. Some days (like this afternoon) are summer like and amazing and other times (like this morning) it's rainy and cold. 

On Tuesday we had the hunger games at school. The student council organized it and there was one tribute from each class that competed in little games. Unfortunately our tribute went down in the first round. 

So that's pretty much it. We are now out for Easter Break which is super exciting!

Right now I'm on the bus to Göteborg to meet up with Misha! I'm taking the ACT tomorrow and then on Wednesday we are embarking on a journey. First stop, Hamburg!

I'll update you all soon!
