Scandinavian Festival

Today, Sabrina and I volunteered at the Scandinavian Festival at Oglethorpe University! It was a lot of fun and it was great seeing the beautiful campus. I also met a few girls who attend the school and they told me a lot about it. It was also amazing hearing a lot of people speaking Swedish, Danish, Finnish and Norwegian!

From about 8:30am-12pm we helped a lady and a girl from Costa Rica, named Susan serve Swedish pea soup and knackebrod (with Finnish cheese, like Sabrina said) and then from 2-5:30pm we painted children's faces. It was awesome, but some of them couldn't stay still! This one boy who couldn't stay still wanted me to paint a Norwegian and American flag on his face. Why'd he have to chose the hard ones? Haha. :) But it was fun regardless.

Oglethorpe University

I have been accepted to Oglethorpe University! :D The weird thing is, I didn't pay for the application, nor did I write the "mandatory" essay one must submit with their application. I cannot think of the words to explain how shocked I was when I received the letter. The first thing I did was call the Oglethorpe Admissions Office to make sure that it wasn't a mistake, and sure enough, they told me I had been accepted. Crazy! I'm so excited, however, I am not sure if it would be a wise decision going there considering how much the tuition costs (about $1060 per credit hour). We'll see what happens. :)
