I am a Godfather


Amazing cover of an Amazing song

I am now a Peer Ambassador Leader - aka "Godfather" for the school. We are about 10 people who got picked to be these ambassadors; we will be mentors for new students, guiding tours and be in charge of activities. A very exciting opportunity i think - and we will end up with a recommendation letter as well :-) So to every future student: be open, be friendly, attend social activities and do your best in school - you might be rewarded. Here is a little bit from the small essay i had to write for the program:

I believe that meeting people from other countries is important; it gives you a wider point of view and a bigger picture of what the world is like. Meeting new cultures, traditions and norms will create respect, interest and knowledge that you will always have with you. I have travelled a lot my whole life which I truly believe have created who I am today, so I can’t pick one experience that stands out in importance. I think all my experiences are important, small or big, short or long, and they have all somehow mattered to me. They have given me and taught me a lot, so I wish for everyone to travel as much as possible and meet as many different nationalities as possible. Without that I don’t know who I would have been today, and I can’t imagine my life without it. I think travelling is a part of growing up; it is education itself, so I feel sorry for the people who never get the chance to do so.
Besides that, the weather has been wonderful the last couple of days - and it looks like its continuing for a while, so i will probably end up at the beach this weekend.

L.A. Lakers game


Good news! I made a mistake in my last blog saying I have 6 weeks left with EF - I then had 7 weeks! Which means 6 weeks from friday.

This Saturday I spend hours shopping with Rebecca, and I ended up with a lot, maybe too much, new stuff. Isn't it always like that?? Saturday we experienced a L.A. Lakers game, when the team played against Indiana Pacers. On the way to Staples Center we passed a movie shooting, only because we drove wrong - then you truly know that you're in L.A! Lakers lost with 2 points though (the last quarter was so exciting I almost had to close my eyes). But on the bright side it was still a cool experience and I got cotton candy!

Next monday Rebecca and I will go to a free Nada Surf concert in Amoebe Music! Besides that, I'm not sure what the next week will bring...

Btw, as you might have notice, I have changed the design a little bit. Do you like it? Vote in the poll to the right -->
