I found out this week that my French class will be going to France in November for a week!!! : ) I'm really excited about it! WE should be getting all the details Wednesday and then booking the tickets at the end of the week! YAY!!
Here's a few pics of Eskilstuna this week, it was sunny for the first time in days so I took the opportunity to snap a few photos.

Friday was Grace's (Can.) birthday so most of the exchangers went to Stockholm to visit and say happy birthday. Marianne, Carlos, and I couldn't go so we decided to get together in Eskilstuna instead. We ended up spending the entire afternoon baking kanelbullar (cinnamon buns) at Marianne's with a lot of help from Maria, her host mom.
After our afternoon of baking (and eating), we went home to get ready for a high school disco. It was fun night (people were actually there, unlike at high school dances in Edmonton)!.

Saturday I slept in late, watched some One Tree Hill episides I'd downloaded, and then went to Stockholm to visit Theo, a Swedish friend I knew from Canada. It was a really nice, relaxing day!

I finally got around to downloading the new episodes of Grey's Anatomy last week, which means that this week Rachel and I will be spending a lot of time watching it!!! I'm sooo excited!

Wednesday at my Rotary lunch, I will be doing part of my Canada presentation and also talking about what I've been doing here the past few months. I think it will be a really great opportunity for the Rotarians in my club to learn who I am! Wish me luck!

Next weekend is the Rotary district conference, so all the exchangers will be meeting up in Stockholm again to attend the conference and see some of the tourist sites, which will be nice because I havn't gone to many tourist places in Stockholm yet (which means more photos!)
