''Where are you going?'' He asked.
''To put this away.''
''And then you're coming back?''
''For........?''
''Treasure hunt.''
Okay, treasure hunting. All highschools should have treasure hunting at 7:30 in the freezing morning.
So every year Alleskolan has this thing called the Alle-Olympics, a treasure hunt, in which the class who gets the most points is the first to graduate. The list we got was extremely long, but here is a example of what we had to find.
- Santa Claus
- Bloody Mary (drink)
- Nudist
- Crossdresser
- Pink shoes
- Bell Peppers
- Dog
- Empty soda bottle
- Ice cubes
- Snow
- People named Lotta (with extra points for each Lotta)
(One of the things on the list was also that someone had to snort ground coffee. Don't ask I wasn't the one who did that.) So we split up into groups before complete chaos erupted. People were everywhere, driving home, running to the local ICA (supermarket) that wasn't open yet, calling friends and parents and screaming their classes names. My group went searching and when we came back, the school grounds were a complete disastor.
There were dogs everywhere, boys dressed like girls (complete with makeup) Jack Sparrows, Spidermans, naked guys streaking, naked girls wrapped firmly in towels, people dressed like santa clauses, bottles of budweiser, coco poweder stained teeth, microwaves strewn across the grass and every kind of cake imaginable in slices, paper plates, plastic boxes, or unopened bags.
Complete madness. Alleskolan on crack.
And it was probably the most fun I've had in school to date.

Lynn, this sounds like amazing fun! I'm happy you're enjoying Sweden, and I am glad to hear you are picking up the language and culture so naturally! We miss you in good ol' South Carolina. After reading this post, however, I wish I went to a school where we got to go on massive scavenger hunts! Keep the blogs comin'.

hey, lynn, what is your address in sweden? do you know anything about the postal system there that might help me when i'm mailing you a letter?
hey lynn i found a website that has a lot of cool Swedish links and information, everything is in Swedish. The link is http://www.langlink.net/langlink/detail.aspx?id=swedish.
Just thought you might could use that if you wanted. There's a Swedish newpaper link there too and you can click on many different cities in Sweden, Orebro one of the them.
Joseph......you don't have to order sweet tea online. You can make it here.
haha. joseph lewis and his sweet tea. man. ok. so now I'm SO praying that I'm gonna get to hillcrest on monday...and everyone's gonna be on the football field getting ready for a treasure hunt! ooh. that'd be amazing. hehe.
