Last day at M-A and California

Thursday was the last day at Menlo-Atherton High School. I went to a Journalism class and an AP English literature class. Journalism was really funny because me, Isabella, Daniel and Emil got interviewed for a podcast they wanted to make. We taught some of the students a few danish words and sentences like "Blyant", "Jeg kan lide ananas" and "Vil du med ned og have vafler?". It was a really funny class and i got to talk to a lot of the students and we had a lot of fun.

In English literature the students had to write an essay. So during the first 45 minutes Jakob, Anna Sofie and I sat in the sun and talked, and when they handed in the essays we went inside again. The class had to play "Word Tennis" which was a very funny game! You got a topic, it could be anything the topics they often chose "first date" or whatever you could come up with.  And basically you ask a question and can only answer it by asking a question which also means if you say something that is not a question you will lose. This class was also a lot of fun :-)

When i was in the different classrooms i noticed that they were very personal because most of the teachers decorated the rooms by themselves. The teachers usually had pictures on their walls, mostly pictures of their family and some had posters with inspirational quotes.

When school was finished Kristina, her host Georgia and Georgia's boyfriend and I went to Ike's Cafe to have lunch. It was really fun and relaxing :-) When we arrived at the school after our nice lunch it was time to say good bye, which was sad and we could easily have spend more days at M-A. We were picked up at the school and we went to our hotel in Palo Alto. The 'San Francisco group' had dinner at Panera Bread where i got a really nice chicken tortelini alfredo. After a little shopping we went back to our hotel and had muffins.

Friday was the last day in Palo Alto but before we left, we had to see the beautiful Stanford University. It was nice experience and i enjoyed it. Before we headed back to our hotel we went to the book store where i brought some books.

The pictures below are from the beautiful campus of Stanford University.






This trip was an amazing experience filled with many hours of fun and new friends! I will especially recommend this trip if you want to experience american culture, if you want to see how it is attending at an american high school and see wonderful San Francisco!
