The dawn might be the end of the night but it's also the beginning, the start of something

A very late blog post about last weekend's pre-departure camp in Gothenburg with STS. I had such a blast. So many great people and so much fun. During the camp we  exchange students to-be got to meet former exchange students, got informed about rules that must be followed during the year, got prepared so we will not be discouraged and did role plays. 

Except that, we shared a 100 gram protein bar on 7 people, just to confirm it tasted like dry truffle, played cards in the middle of the night, made s'mors and picked at each other for pronouncing words wrong because of the dialect. 

On the sunday when we were meeting our parents for another lecture about our year abroad, this time together, everyone was so tired from the camp. After sitting front row at the lecture with half open eyes I had to move back in the row. It felt dumb with the STS crew looking at me and giving me information while I was trying so hard just to not fell asleep. Some people actually did fell asleep back in the row. LOL. 

If my year in the U.S.A. will be only half as fun as this weekend I'll have an awesome year!!! And by the way, the STS U.S.A. representative went to the same school as Adam Sandler, how cool is that!!!

One step closer

So excited for STS's Pre-depature camp in Gothenburg. It's going to be so much fun meeting other exchange students and former exchange students. Can't believe it's only 3 months left in Sweden for me before I'm off for my exchange year in the U.S.A!!!!!

Running

I went on a road trip to Hamburg, Germany with the family for the weekend. The four of us ran the relay marathon as a team. It was a fun experience with people cheering along the street, about 16 000 participants and 20° degrees a sunny Sunday morning.  The relay marathon was divided into four distances for each participant in the team to run. Me and my little brother have already made a bet to be the first to run the whole 42 kilometer long marathon under 3,5 hours.

Other than the marathon we also made time for shopping, candy catching in the hotel room, late night heavy chocolate muffins, stroll around Hamburg's empty streets on a Sunday afternoon and taking early team pictures in the morning light.

Have a great day!
