12/12-14: VACATION OH-OH-OH-OOH

Efter blot tre dage med eksamen, var det hele overstået før det næsten kom i gang (sammenlignet med det vanvittig ræs derhjemme), og så følte jeg godt nok også at en god ferie var på sin plads!

Og kunne jeg sætte Alphabeat ind som temasang til dette indlæg, havde jeg naturligvis gjort det ;-)

Min sidste eksamen var selvfølgelig først skemalagt til fredag aften, og min fransklærer havde gjort sig umage for at bruge så meget som muligt af de to timer der var til rådighed, hvilket betød at jeg først var færdig kl. 18.45 fredag aften. 

Da jeg endelig blev færdig var jeg inviteret ud at spise med Alyssas familie som var på besøg hele weekenden til hendes graduation. 

Jeg havde hørt så meget om dem, så det var rigtig hyggeligt endelig at møde dem. Alyssas bedste veninde og roomate, Savannah, var også inviteret med :-) 

Eftersom jeg skulle rejse mod Orlando tidligt dagen efter, kunne jeg desværre ikke deltage i selve graduation ceremonien, men til gengæld var det altså en hel uge i Orlando hvor vi skulle besøge Disney (og butikker).. 

Graduation er jo kæmpe stort herovre, og fuldstændig ligesom man ser det på film. Når man sammenligner med at jeg officielt fik mit eksamensbevis med posten ca. 1 måned efter jeg var kommet til Georgia, så  kunne det da have været lidt sjovt at være med til en her, men der kommer jo endnu en til foråret.

After just three days with exams, it is all over before it even started (compared to the 1.5 month exam period we have at home), and after that I really felt ready for a vacation!

If I could I would attach a song to this blog post called "Vacation" by the Danish band Alphabeat (you can listen to it here if you're curious) ;-)

My last exam was of course saved for Friday afternoon and my French teacher had done everything in her power to use the full two hours she had at her disposal, which meant I didn't finish until 6.45PM Friday. 

When I was finally done I was invited to dinner with Alyssa and her family who were in town because of her graduation. 

I had heard a lot about them so it was nice to finally meet them. Alyssa's best friend and roomate, Savannah, also came to dinner :-)

Since I'll had to be leaving for Orlando Saturday morning I had to miss out on the actual graduation ceremony, but I was going to Orlando for an entire week to visit Disney (and some shops)... 

Graduation is huge over here and totally like what you see in the movies. Compared to my graduation back home where I got my diploma with the mail about a month after I had arrived in Georgia, it would have been cool to see graduation here, but I'll have another chance next semester.
