Hulda, over there

This week is the last week of the semester. Here in the US the semesters don't end before winterbreak like in Sweden, instead we have a week in late January when we finish up the classes with finals. You have finals in 2 of your periods every day for 1.5 hour, some teachers count them more than others. I have very easy classes so this week is not stressful at all. Next semester will be harder though, I am switching into AP US History and French 4. And I will get ceramics to! Exciting :)

Another update from Ms. Hulda is the Talent Show! :D
We had a talent show at Wilson last week and I was one of the performers. I sang Nalens Oga by Kent and played guitar. I have never done anything like that before, it was very special and a lot of fun! If you would like to see my performance go to my profile on facebook check it out :)
AFS camp;
AFS skii trip last weekend, that was really fun! But the planning wasn't great... They woke us up at 5:15 and the bus left at 7. We came to Mt Hood at 9:20 and had to rent skii equipment. Then we skiied and snowboard for a couple of hours and around 3 we went back to the bus again. That bus journey took 3 hours... But! It was a fun trip anyways, always nice to see the other exchange students :) Me and Andreas from Denmark went to Sunriver and skiied at Mt Bachelor the weekend before. As you can see, I'm getting very spoild with snowboarding... I've never seen anything like Mt Bachelor and Mt Hood before, it was amazing snowboarding up there. Some runs are 2 km long!

I should sign out on this computer now, will have US History in a couple of minutes.
See you in 5 months! :)
Bye byee,

Here is the story:

-I was supposed to meet my friend at the bus stop so we could take the bus together to crew practice. Did he show up? No. And it was because I was at the wrong bus stop, but that's another story... So, I decided to go over to Lilli's house, and we went to the exclusive coffee store Starbucks. At the table next to ours, a man and a women in their late 20-ies were sitting and reading the Bible. I was thinking:
"Hmm, I should go up and talk to them!"
But I didn't really dare... Until it was time to go, I thought now or never, I have nothing to lose. I went up there and asked if they were reading the Bible, and yes they were! It turned out that the girl; Abby, has a Swedish grandmother! She said this Swedish sentence;
"Svenska pojkar med stora huvuden"
Haha, I have no idea why her grandma tought her that one, a funny quote though ^^
Anyways, she and her husband Tim, who were there also, had gone on their honeymoon to Europe together not long time ago :) I also asked what church they are going to and they told me about their church in Beaverton. It is called "A Jesus Church" and about 2000 people between 18 and 28 come there every Friday to sing worship songs, listen to sermons and hang out.

Next day was Friday, so i called Abby and told her that I would like to come to the worship evening. So I went there and ohh, it was so amazing! 2000 people singing worship songs together, the sermon was really good and I got a English Bible there :) Abby and I talked for hours and it was just an unforgetable evening. I loved it! :D

I am doing very well here :) We are going to Sunriver for skiing and snowboarding this weekend, very excitng :D
AND! The talent show is on next week on Wednesday! They resceduled it and well, here I come. Rehersal tomorrow, so I better go and practice now.

And here is a picture from fancy Disneyland!


Peace!
Hulda :)
