Little Kids!!

Today I woke up at 6:30 a.m. haha :). It was pretty awsome. I then went with Ann to the school that she teaches at with kids around the ages of 6-12. I had to give a presentation about Wyoming to all the kids that are 12 years old and that Ann teaches english to. I thought I did pretty amazing in my presentation and I had a way fun time doing it and being the one in charge haha. All the kids were really good. I had to answer some questions from them. Most of the questions were just "how old are you?" "Do you have brothers or sisters?" etc. Just really simple questions. But there were some that were like "What do you think of Barack Obama?" I asked the kids to raise their hands if they thought that he was cool and only two or three kids raised their hands and then I asked who thought he had some problems and over half of the class raised their hands. I asked one kid why he thought he was bad and he said, "because he's a chocolate." haha I know it wasn't good to say but I don't know it kinda caught me off gaurd. That kid was taken out of the room haha, he got a talking to. The kids thought that it was soooooo awsome that I could drive and that I talked and went to school with Indians. haha. After my presentation I went to recess with the kids and looked around. They have a pretty nice playground. And the crazy thing is that its not even fenced in and there's a forest right by the playground and every now and then you would see a kid pop out of the forest like nothing had happend. It was so weird that there wasn't a fence or anything and there were only 2 teachers on duty and most of the time they were just talking to each other. It was crazy! After the recess I played a game with 4 kids every half an hour. You could really tell which kids pay attention and try to learn compared to the ones that don't try to learn english. Man are they going to have a wake up call! After the game there was lunch so I went to lunch with them and I had carrots for the first time I have been here! It was heavenly! haha. After lunch Ann took me back to my school. I had lunch again with them and then I went to Swedish class and then to Math class. Only two classes today! I'm cool with that. After school I went home with Ailin. (Eileen) For dinner we had Louvise over and I made some really good potatoes. I also used the rest of the dough to make sugar cookies for dessert so that was good. After dinner Matilda and I went to the house that Sebbe is reconstructing. It is the most awsome house ever. Well it doesn't look that awsome but the way awsome thing is that that house and the buildings around it like the barn and chicken house is older than the United States! How crazy is that! I think Sebbe said its around 200 or 300 years old. It is sooooo cool. There are still original chains and everything in the barn. I'm dead serious it is the coolest thing ever. And Sebbe said that when he first bought the place that he went into the chicken house and there were skeletons of chickens laying around so the previous owner must have died and just left everything. But it really is the coolest thing ever. I told Sebbe that he was going to unbury a dead guy when he starts digging to put in insillation. He just laughed at me. Wouldn't that be freaky but cool if he did though. :0 I think it would be AWSOME! Well I gotta go to bed. Tomorrow is Sports day at school! haha. Hope everything is going great!
Love,
Micah
