(Actually I really don't feel well in that school.)
My swedish is getting better. Today in school I realized I nearly get half of what they say in the lessons. A least in swedish class. We talk about literature epochs.
A few days ago, I decided to go to german lesson, because my french lesson was cancelled and I had nothing to to anyway. My french class is mostly in swedish, which I don't like. The french level is very low. In the german lesson they only talk german. And they're quite good. In the course is another german exchange student, Anni. She's also from YFU, in the same program as I am but in a different class and I spend a lot of time with her. She is the reason why I went to the german class. The teacher is very nice and I she seems to be very very glad that her students get the opportunity to talk to native speakers. So eventhough being in that course does not really help me, I would do it just for that reason. But there's another thing I really like about that. The students are very nice, open-minded and interested. It was the first time in three weeks that someone came up to me by themself to talk to me. They don't fear speaking to us in German. And to be very honest, there's a lack of nice people on that school. And it is a pleasant feeling to have good people around, at least twice a week.
So I changed the course and said Au Revoir to le francais.
I want to tell you about the subect: CSI. It exactly is what it sounds like. A subject about crime. We watched a documentation with the disturbing tite: The perfect murder. I thought I should share the knowledge of how to kill people properly so the police does not get you. First of all you should use an icicle and stab the person. The reason is obvious. The weapon melts and leaves no traces. And you should leave the corp... No I shouldn't talk about that, right? I just wanted to show you how weird it is that they teach us how to kill people in school. But though fascinating and very interested. Except for the part were they murdered a pig and hanged it to show with the aid of the insects eating the meat that you can see how long a corp has been dead. That was just disgusting.
Did I turn mad? No, I didn't. It was just as strange for me as it is for you. But very interesting though.
And last weekend I was at Stockholm! :)
This city is so beautiful and relatively green. One day is really not enough to see the city. It was not even enough to go to all the shops I wanted to go. Stockholm is the best city in Europe for shopping that I ever visited. There's: Brandy melville, Victoria's secret, Ahléns (muuuch make up), Hollister, American Apparel, Monki and BIKBOK (both remind me a little bit of Bershka, but just a little bit. The clothes are much nicer) These are just some shops I wanted to mention because a lot of girls my age will be interested in that. Stockholm is an amazing place to shop. You go from one mall to another and it is just does not end. But I also spend my time visiting the city a little bit. But just a little bit because time passed so fast. And the city is very big so it takes a while to walk around. You probably heard of the island of the museums. We saw it but didn't go there. There were people fishing in the lake/river around the island. Strange to see someone fishing in the citycenter. The contrast between citylife and nature, fast-moving people and the patience of the fishers.
We spend our time at the park and I enjoyed feeding the ravens. I think my friend Sönke was a little bit scared of them. Or just annoyed, I'm not sure :P We had a great day :)
Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 16. I felt quite homesick for the whole day, and I had a really bad day at school. But in the evening my hostfamily went to a restaurant with me and I totally forgot about my homesickness. It was a restaurant/bar in the style of a thai boat restaurant. It was really amazing and the food was amazing too. I didn't take a photo but it looked very much like this.
I got a book about swedish traditions and another book with beautiful photos of different parts of Sweden. And my little hostbrother (he's 10) got me a bar of chocolate. That was so cute and really, we had a great evening. Later we had cake. One of the best cakes I ever had. Thank you very much to my hostfather.
This is typical swedish:
We have that in Germany too, but Sweden has it in like, every shop.
Next tuesday I'm going to a soccer game in the stadium. I'm excited :)
I hope you all are doing good. Franzi
