Ambassador

Today Jennie and I were ambassadors for the IB programme.
We arrived at school at around 9.15am and got some coffee.  At 9.30 we received our binder with information and sashes, etc.  Around 10 we presented our program to a cafeteria full of 9th graders and by half past we collected the students that had chosen to explore IB and gave them a tour.  It was kind of fun because we didnt have to go to any classes and we just spent half of the day glorifying IB :)  I'm pretty sure we recruited at least 3 of the 5 that came...Hopefully.  We were with them until almost 12.30pm (it was supposed to be 12 but there was something weird about the busses and it was extremely late)

Service - 3 hours

Yesterday I was also doing some recording for fun.  I have always been really bad at strumming patterns on the guitar and after playing with Hanna L and my friend who visited me from Stockholm this weekend, I've figured it out.  It seems to be one of those things that as soon as you get, you can't "unlearn" it.  It was like a light bulb just switched on.  Anyways so I've been learning a new song that I will upload later and I've also done some recording.  All in all I've played and worked on recording for 3 hours in the past couple of days,

Lucia Tåg

Yesterday Jennie, Hanna L, and I took part in the training and preparation for the Lucia train this year at the school.  We will be singing in the choir and it will probably be a lot of fun :)  The Lucia train is basically when a group of girls from the school will gather and perform for the school traditional Christmas and St. Lucia songs.  Parents and students will attend the show and last year it was a lot of people and I think it's a nice thing to do.  Just for other people to enjoy christmas spirit during the darkness of the winter.  The performance will be around the date of December 13th.

I took part in it last year but I didn't attend all of the trainings and it felt very last minute.  This year I am more prepared and I am familiar with the songs (which are all in Swedish), which feels great.  More blogging about that later.
