Week 4 down

Some more observations.....

- Sweden is VERY laid back, almost too laid back. I have never seen so much down time in a school day.

- Elementary kids are adorable.

- Old MacDonald and Twinkle Twinkle are universal.

- In the time it takes to put clothes in a washer and walk outside, it can go from sunny and 10 degrees to snowing heavily and freezing cold.

- Teenagers everywhere are the same, they all can recite the lyrics to every Lady gaga, Katy Perry and Beyonce song on cue.

- What is the biggest English resource in Sweden? Family Guy with subtitles. Only problem is, the vocabulary is awful.

- Pizza in Sweden has paper thin crust.

- Having Skype dates with a 5 year old in Canada while you are in another country is highly entertaining. Try explaining why you can't come have kraft dinner with him right away. :) My favorite was trying to explain where Sweden was by relating it to where the elephants live in Africa.

- Junior High kids will prove their excellent language skills by reciting every curse word they have ever heard, their teacher will just look on and be thrilled because they are finally speaking English in English class.

- Living in residence that is not like StFX, will make you miss StFX explicitly.

- 1 week to go!
