Back and graduated!

Okay, I wasnt gone that long this time, but still!

The reason for my short vacation from here and thus the un-happened replying is because last week was my graduation week!

With other words, I'm now finally done with Upper Secondary School, or Gymnasiet as we call it here in Swedeland

The process of graduation is probably a lot different from most places, basically it begins with going up REALLY early in the morning (like 7.00 am-ish(lol)), to eat breakfast with your classmates.

After that, its usually a photo shoot where you take a picture with your classmates to look back at and remember how ugly and tired everyone was (just kidding!)

Should mention that both these parts are optional, but most people choose to take part in them.

Then the actual graduation thingie starts, the classes start marching towards wherever the "speechday" is being held, in our case a church in the middle of town. This is not a favorable part if you're wearing uncomfortable and really high heels like I did. (have like ten blisters on my feet -.-) The graduates enter the church, after everyone else of course, and everyone else is of course supposed to clap and smile at the graduates marching in So after a ton of highly inspirational speeches (not really) and some singing, the graduates march in their high heels all the way back to the school. Once back, the classmates and their mentors gather in a classroom before the "Utspring" (I'll explain this later ). Usually the graduates then gets "fika" (a Swedish term; means eating sweets such as cookies and cinnamon buns and drinking coffee or lemonade, our mentors classified it apparently as bread and butter etc). 

And then comes the Utspring! The class runs out together trough the schools main entrance, doing a silly little dance-performance to a by them chosen song, while all parents and loved ones stands and clap their hands (hopefully!). When the class has run out, you meet up with your loved ones by trying to locate the huge poster they're holding with a picture of yourself on it, often a picture of you as a kid. They give you stuff to wear around your neck, such as flower bouquets, teddy bears, whistles,  horns, carrots etc etc..

After this, one of the main features approaches. Then you're supposed to get on a platform body, attached to a agrimotor, previously decorated by your classmates.

This agrimotor then drives you and your classmates around the entire center of the town, while the graduates on it jumps, dances and screams. Since as good as all graduating classes in all schools in town have their own agrimotor and platform body, the traffic is pretty much completely messed up. 

Anyways, after you've been driven around a while the agrimotor stops at the school were the tour started and then, finally, the graduates are free!

Most classes decides to meet up and have dinner later in the evening to have some sort of goodbye-ceremony, and also a big part of the graduates decides to go out on various nightclubs and bars later on.

There really is a lot of the Swedes that decides to go out, since so many of us cant seem to have fun without alcohol. I dont belong to that part, I still went out though, and got stomped on my feet by this dude that was being dragged out by security, and making a looot of resistance. 

As much as I might sound negative, it was a big deal of fun to go trough this entire process, and definitely something I'll remember my entire life

I hope you guys as well have had/ will have a great term-end, graduates or not!

Now im gonna head on to answer to some comments and maybe upload something
