April 29th

Hye Everybody,

Here's probably one of my last posts of my exchange year in the USA.
Today I have exactly 62 days left, So I don't have too much time left anymore in this beatiful country.

I didn't really do extraordinary things these days,
I've been kinda busy with school and everything. This is my last week of school before gradutation.
I received my Cap and Gown last week, which I was really excited about :)

2 weeks ago we went horsebackriding with the exchange students in Pigeon Forge.
We had a lot of fun, but our butt kind off hurts afterwards.
After that we went to eat at a fishrestaurant. They all had Gator tale for the first time.
On our way to the fleamarket we saw an carshow with really old American cars, which was kind off cool to see :)
We walked around in the flea market, and chilled a little zith Sandy :)
Afterwards we had to home, because I had youth group.

We also had our last series of concerts with the roane choral society.
I finished my last concert on Saterday night. It wasn't that much fun to day goodbye, but it's a good thing I still have 2 months with the people I truly care about before I leave.

We also had 6 Norwegian people coming in last week through Rotary.
Off course, Diana hosted a girl. Her name was Ulrikkem but we could call her Rikke because nobody knew how to pronounce her name anyway :)
Wednesdaynight we went to the mexican with her, we had dinner together, and afterwards ate icecream and chocolate cake. It was a very nice night.
On thurday night, the Norwegian people had a program at Rotary, which was very interesting. They did a great job !
Qnd then on Friday, I had to go to the Oak Ridge National lab. It was kinda cool to see it, but I didn't really understand all the chemical words they were using, so we just looked around for a little while.
On firdaynight, it was our last night with Ulrikke, and there was a party planned for al the rotary people and the norwegians. We had a blast !
They bought some Aquavite, some Norwegian alcohol, and we all shared and had some shots together.
It was so much fun !
After the shots, we all did some karaoke in the basement, and the Norwegians sung their National Anthem. It was a wonderful night !

On saturday morning, I didn't have a hangover, luckily, but my throat was hurting so bad !
We had to go to the Apolachian museum in Norris, which was far away I thought.
It was a museum about the people that lived in this area a long long time ago.
It was raining and everything, so it wasn't really that much fun.

I'm glad it's monday again, so I can sleep a little more, and just finish my last exams and then finally be done with school.

I'll have another concert next weekend with my school choir, and there is Graduation next Saturday ! Whoop Whoop :)

After that I have about 10 days to chill, before I leave on all my vacations :) I can't wait !

I'll see y'all later, Sara
