First off, my trip to France and England. It was soo good to see Brit again! I left my house at 3am, to catch a train, then jump on the plane, and got to Paris around 9am. I met Brit, had lots of hugs, and then we made out way into paris, with a few bumps along the way (broken town trains, bomb threats, crazy taxi drivers). eventually we got there, and it was soo good to see Brits Family too. Lots of hugs there. That night we headed to The Louvre and did some shopping. Our next day in Paris, We went to DisneyLand!!!! That was A LOT of fun! The rides had lines up to 1hour long, so we only went on a few. That night, we stayed home and ate 2minute noodles. Brit and i were soo excited to eat them after 7months! Our next day, we jumped on a bus and did a city tour of Paris. It was really bad weather, so we stayed on the bus most of the time. That night, we went and saw the Moulin Rouge, and then went out for dinner.
The next morning, we hopped in the high speed train to London!! Going through the security was scarier then an airport! The lady who checked my passport asked LOTS of questions, and even though i had nothing to hide, i was still very nervous. When the question "What do you do in school?" was asked, the first thing that came to my head was "nothing". i knew that wasnt the right answer though. After getting to London, we explored a little, and headed to the London Eye. The view was AMAZING! i loved it. After this, we headed back to our Hotel, and had a quiet night. The next day, we did a bus tour of London. It was amazing. We saw lots of famous sites, including Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, got photos in red telephone boxes! We went to a pub for lunch, and it was SOOO great to be in a pub again. I had a meat pie, with chips and gravy! I had missed it soo much. After this, we headed to Madame Tussauds, the celebrity wax museum. It was really cool! For tea, we went to a small cafe, and i got all my stuff ready to catch the plane in the morning. It was very sad saying goodbye, but i knew it wouldnt be long until i saw them again!
I loved London very much, and i think i could even move there!
DISTRICT CONFERENCE.
There was 8 exchange students, including me, 2 Australians, 1 Argentinian, 4 Americans and 1 Brazilian. It was held in my town, so i was in charge of the tour. We walked around town, did some shopping, then headed to the Train Museum. It was pretty interesting to see the old trains. After lunch, we did a presentation about ourselves, and answered any questions they had. We then had a banquet that night, and we all dressed up very nicely. The food was really good, and after, a group of 12yr old girls sang for us. I can honestly say, they had the most amazing voices i have EVER heard. everyone was in shock. they were amazing. The next day, we had a tour of the old prison, had some lunch, and then everyone went back to their towns.

SPAIN.
My class and i went to Mallorca for 1 week on a school exchange program. It was 30degree weather!! We stayed with host families, and mine was very lovely. After the 'long' flight there, we drove to the town we were staying in, and got picked up my our host families. We went back to out new houses and had lunch. After this, my host sister and i headed to the beach and met up with some other people from our class. Monday, was our first day of school. We had a welcoming assembly and then had a tour of the school. We had lunch with everyone, which the swedes though was so strange, bringing our own food to school. That night, we headed to another beach, and went swimming. It was so good to swim in the ocean again. Next day, was at school again, working on our projects. We also had a tour of the town, which was beautiful. That night, we headed to another beach, and again went swimming. Wednesday, we spent the day in Palma. It was very beautiful. we had some lunch and went shopping, and was a lovely day. Thursday at school, we worked on our projects and had a cooking lesson and P.E lesson. After school, we went to a hidden beach. it was beautiful. We jumped of the rocks (i just closes my eyes and screamed). On Friday, we presented the projects we had been working on. My groups was on Family and Welfare, and we did a good job. That afternoon, i went horse riding with my host sister, and then we got ready and headed out for dinner for our last night. We went went to a disco and headed home around 4am. Saturday, we said goodbye to everyone, which was SUUUUPER sad, and then left back for cold, rainy Sweden.
