I came in at ten o' clock and had fika with my class. Then we sat about and waited until our avslutning in the auditorium. We ate our cakes and cookies and talked. Then Ubbe, or Urban as he is actually called, organized a game of charades.
My Class SP2D and our teacher:
Then at twelve we all filed down to the aulan, the auditorium and took our places. There were a few performances by the musik program and the rektor, principle of our school section (called rektorsområde, there are something like nine rektorsområden in the whole school) gave a little speech. Then he introduced Gabriel and myself.
He gave us each a little memento of Ystad in the form of a book and then we said a few words. I had actually typed up a little speech. Incidentally, I had forgotten that very same little speech in my thumb drive. I started shaking all over and my mind went totally blank. I barreled through the whole thing and ended with a thank you to my class, my teachers, Rotary and my host families. Then I shuffled off to the side amidst applause. Then Gabe went up and breezed through his improvised thing and we both sat down. Applause.
Apparently, we both did pretty well, and the shake wasn't noticable. So that's alright then.
