Monday, I gave a presentation to my Rotary club at noon so I slept in and prepared it.(I missed my piano lesson...Oops) The presentation went very well, I wore my Rotary jacket and had a power point presentation showing pictures of me and Canada. Here's a picture of it. They were very impressed when I included a few sentences in Swedish. In the afternoon, I biked to school to find that my music teacher was home sick, so I didn't have any classes that day. So I went to Jarryd's house instead, he's the Australian boy, then we went to an aerobics class at the gym and met Anna and some friends there. I am terrible at aerobics, stumbling around all uncoordinated and all the instructions were given in Swedish so I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing! I decided then that my goal for this week would be to find out when the swimming pool is open.
Wednesday, I joined the grade 2's(gr. 11) music class because I felt they needed a wind instrument to help them play Blame it on the Boogie. The group welcomed me in and the teacher transposed some music for me. I had the song stuck in my head for the rest of the week! In my cooking class that day, we made pancakes and apple pie with vanilla sauce. I was stuck making the vanilla sauce and I don't even like vanilla! But I still got to eat everybody else's food.
Besides that, it was a pretty normal week until Friday night; Anna, Jarryd and I made pizza, sang and danced to Abba, watched a movie and ate Skittles which I got in the mail from home. My Skittles were very popular because they don't have them here. It was a fun night!
