Day 17: Tour day/Torsdag

Today was an interesting experience being able to go visit the upper high school.  The 9^th graders were given a tour of the upper high school.  It is pretty nice that all of the schools are really close together so they could just walk over but it was good to experience.  The premise for visit was to get them acquainted to the school and get to know the opportunities that they will have at high school.  By this time pupils are able to specialize a bit more.  They are able to pick tracks that will lead them to doctors or nursing or factory production and management of a building.  There are a variety of options that the pupils will be able to choose from when they get to high ungdomskule. Once a path is taken then there are papers that help you remember the class that you are to take some year.

I thought that the art that was on the walls was really interesting.  I didn’t get any of it.  But was interesting to look at them.  Sometimes they had words and other times not.

Then as we were getting a little bite to eat (juice and sweet bread) the fire alarm went off.  So, everybody filled out in a calm and ordinary fashion.  We weren't outside for very long be ore we were let back in the school.

After all of that and Brooke and I made it back to Husnes Ungdomskule.  There was journalist that was waiting there for us.  Morten had set up the interview and never told us a time.  But everything was alright.  We were able to talk to the journalist and we are going to be in the paper sometime soon.  I am not sure when but Morten said that he would get each of us a copy to take home.  The journalist lady was nice and just asked us a bunch of questions.  Once the questions were finished then we (Kylie, Brooke and I) donned our new beanies from last night to take a picture.  I was super impressed that the journalist talked about how there was symmetry in the picture.  Wow! Symmetry is a great word!  Good job.  I wonder which picture will be used for the article.  Being featured in the paper and having my picture taken made me think about being a small town celebrity.  It was pretty great!

After school I decided that I wanted to go on a bike ride.  So then I decided that I hadn't been to the Barony yet so I should go there.  So I rode the bike there.  On the way there I had to cross a river.  Obviously I decided to stop and take a picture.  I mean pictures will last longer than a memory and pictures can be used to remember memories.  The barony was pretty cool to see.  It doesn't open until May so I couldn't go inside but I still went to see it.

Then on the way home I stopped by the store and bought a bunch of chocolate because it was on sale.  #chocolatefordays
