English

I like my toothbrush.

The Noble Lion - Your kidding me right?! How did I not know about this? What organisation/-s do you travel with? State? City? School? Family? Dude! You're doing exactly what every teen in the world should do.

Savi: You were in Los Angeles right? With what organisation? I'm thinking about to go with Explorer, if I now ever will be going.

I was in Vegas, but close well, I had two organizations. The swedish one being Explorius, highly recommended they still keep in contact with me even though I've been home for more than a year. My American one was ICES, also a really good one although I don't think you can choose what am. org you want, but still. Seriously, if you're in contact with Explorius tell them you kind of know Isabelle who was in Vegas 11/12. Haha!
Anyways best experience ever, still have a really close contact with my host family and friends from not only Vegas but all the other exchange student I met.

Oh, right. Vegas. I knew that, just thought wrong. Btw, do you know if it does something if you, like, got an F i one or two subjects by the end of the year in the U.S.? I mean... I barerly got an grade in NO (don't know what its called in english), and math and if I will be going and it is in english... it will be very hard 'cause I don't think I will understand anything at all in the begining in those two subjects, and I have really hard for those even now... so yeah... I'm kind of bit worried about that part, lol.

Nothing but A's baby! c;

Well, you choose what classes you want to take. The only thing is that you need to read one English class and they recommend, and so do I, to read one math class. You can choose what level you want it on and all. Then it's different I had two classes that I had to take; composition and global diplomacy. So it's a little difference from school to school. But if you're not doing well in science then don't take any science class, or choose a fun one. I just don't understand physics or chemistry but love biology so I read zoology. And this year is a perfect time to take your time with studies. I wasn't very good in math the year before I left but tools course that was a bit of a mix of what I had already done and what I was going to do they year after when I got back to Sweden? And it was great! I'm doing so much better. Although, it may be harder to get accepted into the organization without a full passing report. So you may want to either work on those subjects or talk to the organization.

But if you're going as an exchange you have to have atleast an E in every subject huh? But what if I got an F in one? Can't I go then? D:

Solkatten you mean before you go? Well, I'm not sure about all organizations. Like I know EF and STS accept you either way, you don't really have to do anything to get in there, at least that's what my friends have said and also the feeling I got when I talked to them. Now, everyone thinks differently but I don't really like them, to big organizations and its more like you are a number of all the thousands of students they're sending away. Explorius checked your grades and had interviews and I actually felt like they didn't just want the money, but for us to have a good time. Know some people who they didn't really think was ready to go and they told them instead of just taking their money and sending them away to something they weren't ready for, and they treat you more as the person you are. Of course there are people who aren't very satisfied with them but that's how it is with everything. And I don't know how hard they are with the marks, it's more about how you are as a person and how you would react in certain situations. For example if you in the first process when applying say that you would not accept a different religion, would live with a family of a different ethnic background you won't be going through to the interview so..

I found it very easy to talk in english, and my english has gotten better since last year! I think it's because of all the tv shows, movies and books but also Tumblr tbh haha
