In N' Out twice in a row

Yesterday was my second day in high school.
We started out having physics, where Emil and Arne Emil were also joining. While the students were having class, us exchange students were discussing the teachers' teaching method. We thought it was very interesting, because it made everyone participate, including us.  The teacher had a power point with different questions, where he randomly picked out who had to answer. The students were working with electricity and had an experiment where they had to light a lightbulb with a battery and wire. We were also handed the materials, so we had to try to figure out it worked. We thought it was fun since the students were forced to participate, where in Denmark it is more common to raise your hand when you want to.
Afterwards Danielle had to go to a test, so I tagged along with Daniel, Emil and Arne Emil to English class. They had just finished reading a book, where they had to discuss it. The way they discussed was very interactive and interesting; they had two circles. The students sitting in the inner circle had to discuss the book, while the students sitting on the outside had to document what they were discussing. When they were done discussing, the students on the outside had to contribute with ideas and constructive criticism, and later they switched and did the same. I had also tried the method in my old school and I thought it was fun because you had to force yourself to collaborate and say what you were thinking.
When the class was done, we agreed that it was a good method that should be applied in Viby Gymnasium.
When school was done, Danielle had to take a practice test for a few hours and she suggested that some of the danes could come over to her house while she was taking the test.
Four guys came over and we played ping pong and took some sun.
Later on we parted ways and Amanda, Pernille, Emil and Arne Emil including our hosts went to In N' Out. For some of us it was our second time. It still was a lot of fun. Amanda and I had to get In N' Out shirts to be able to flash them around when we get home.
Afterwards Danielle drove Arne Emil and Emil home. Later Danielle and I joined her family at a sushi restaurant where we ate dinner and talked.





Overall yesterday was a fun day and I am already feeling nostalgia.
