Last Day of Summer

However, today was Gayatri's first day of school. This morning Louise and I escorted her to Tibble; we ended up staying for the assembly. The principle had a very long speech about the school and the upcoming school year but I did not understand anything!! It went over my head so I just stared and clapped when everyone else did.

After Louise and I biked home, I made my way to the bus stop. I met Sam, a girl from Florida, at Täby Centrum so we could shop for first day of school outfits. We hit up H&M, which is a swedish brand store and then rode the train into Stockholm where we had fika, a coffee break/hangout, with Cherry, a girl from India and Daniel,a boy from Texas.

Daniel, Sam, and I rode the train back to my house because my host family hosted a fika for all the host parents in Täby. They discussed how we are changing families this year as us exchange students sat upstairs and watched youtube videos. I put on a video of Jimmy Fallon and Justin Bieber and Hikaru, a girl from Japan, freaked. I mean she was bouncing of the walls with excitement; little did I know she has Bieber Fever pretty bad so when I told her he is coming to Stockholm in April almost cried! She is just too cute!

The parents talked everything over and we are switching families three times this year. I am excited about this because just like every where else, every family is different so I get to experience three different types of Swedish life.

By far, the best last day of summer!
