This weekend I got to meet 200 other exchange students from all over the world in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Friday I was supposed to miss school to fly up there but it ended with everyone getting a snow day because there was ice covering the roads. So Taylor and Delaney sled down the driveway with cardboard boxes. I didn't go cause I was waiting to see if I could go to Oklahoma or not.

Finally around 10:30 my host dad and I started to work our way slowly to the airport (my flight was supposed to leave at 12:30).

We weren't sure that we would make it cause there was so much traffic and we could see that there had been many accidents.

We got to the airport at 12 and we ran in to check my bag. Luckily my host dad is a pilot so he quickly managed to get me through the security check.

I got exactly to the gate when they were starting to board so we were both very happy that I had made it!

When we got to Oklahoma we went to the hotel that the conference was to be held it. There I met other exchange students and we waited to get picked up by a host family that would be taking care of us that night.

I very nice woman hosted me, a girl from Switzerland, France and a girl from Arkansas.

Saturday morning we went for a walk by the river and then went to an art musuem. Later in the afternoon we wentn back to the hotel to meet all of the exchange students. We were so many!! There were two guys from Sweden whom I met before and it was really fun to see some Swedish people. I had a hard time talking in Swedish though, cause I kept wanting to go back to English haha.

At the conference I got to be the flag carrier for Sweden. I felt kind of special hihi😉

During the conference we spoke and had dinner with other Rotarians and thanked them for making this happen. Each country also had to perform a skit. We said funny random facts about Sweden and I think the audience enjoyed that!

Around 10 we all packed into three buses and headed for a high school where we had a lock-in.

There we danced, ate snacks and just enjoyed every minute of being together. I had so so so much fun! Everyone was up all night so we were exhausted! We had breakfast at 6 am and then we went back to the hotel. There we all said bye to each other and went our separate ways. My district and I took the flight home and we were all sleeping.

It was nice to be back in Texas and I passed out in bed very early that Sunday night!

I will, for sure, never forget this weekend!!
