Thanksgiving!
Åkte till min rumskompis Aristons familj i Klamath Falls(i södra Oregon) för att fira Thanksgiving:) Det var väldigt trevligt och de lagade massa god mat! (Kalkon med fyllning, sötpotatis, tranbärssås, potatismos mm och pumpapaj till efterrätt). Alla i hans familj var jättesnälla och det var kul med en traditionell Thanksgiving:)
Deras tradition i familjen var att gå och kolla på bio innan middagen, så vi gick och kollade på Hugo. Vi var helt själva i salongen hehe men det var en bra film och man blev ju inte störd av någon:)
Vi åkte också runt lite i staden också och såg en familj som höll på att sätta upp sina juldekorationer. De var ett bevis på stereotypen om att alla i USA har extremt mycket juldekorationer i trädgården haha. Tomtar, pingviner, snögubbar, ljus, en skylt som pekade mot Nordpolen. Hela alltet! Jag ville ha en bild så Ariston frågade om vi fick ta en haha, så en bild finns på facebook.
Efter maten kollade vi på Punkin Chunkin' på TV. Det var en tävling som gick ut på att ett lag skulle försöka slunga en pumpa så långt som möjligt med hjälp av en slags katapult som de fixat själva. Det fanns allt från handdrivna gammaldags katapulter till moderna saker som kunde skicka iväg pumpan över 1000 m! De tävlade i olika klasser beroende på vilken sorts katapult de hade. Alla var extremt seriösa och de hade förberett sig för årets tävling ända sen tävlingen året innan.
Hehe, riktigt roliga och intressanta saker man kan få se här:). Så jag är tacksam för en ritkigt bra Thanksgiving!
De hade två jättesöta hundar

Turducken!
This weekend I learned about an interesting Thanksgiving tradition. It is called Turducken and as the name implies it is a chicken inside a duck, inside a turkey. So three layers of meat! Thought this was kind of funny:) Thanksgiving means that we are free from school Thursday and Friday so I'm looking forward to that. I'm going with my roommate Ariston to his family, and I hope that Leah(my other roommate) will come too:)
I have chosen some of my classes for next term too. I'm taking Anthropology: gender/inequality, and Climate Change Policy. I'm also taking rock climbing(inside), jog-run, and maybe yoga. I'm not entirly sure about all of the classes, but right now these are the ones I am taking. I have to choose one more class though. Hopefully I get one in Environmental Studies.
Some beautiful trees in Eugene! There are a lot of them, but they are starting to lose their leaves now though :(

Kentucky falls!
This weekend I went on a trip with the Outdoor program again. This time to some waterfalls not far from Eugene. It was really beatiful, and we went on a hike through the forest to get there. Met some nice people on the trip too, so that was fun! There are so many amazing things to see around here, which is great!
Also went to Kristina's place for a party, and her boyfriend, who's here visiting, had brought Djungelvrål! Så gott! Really miss Swedish candy sometimes, especially liquorice hehe! And it was so fun seeing people's faces when they tried it haha, most of them didn't like it that much, and they thought it would be sugar so they were quite surprised:)
Yesterday me and some of the other Swedes went to see Michael Jackson, immortal world tour, by Cirque du Soleil. Really cool and awesome!! Unfortunately it was strictly forbidden to take pictures, think they would have thrown me out if I had tried :P.
Soon I'm choosing classes for next term. Don't know what I'm going to take yet, but definitely some kind of sport except for normal classes, like rock climbing and running I think. So cool that we can take those as classes:)

Halloween!
Igår var det halloween. Var på fest i fredags dock, superkul! De flesta hade väldigt bra utklädnader:) Jag hittade min samma dag så det blev ett snabbt beslut. Hittade en lila peruk som jag ville ha och då fick det bli så att jag var från framtiden typ. Blev helt ok:) Ganska roligt igår också för det var rätt många som gick till skolan utklädda.
