Läroverksfejden

Hej Hej,

I hope you are having a great weekend, mine is perfect: long, warm and a lot of sun!

Otherwise let’s talk about the event of last week: läroverksfejden. You might probably not know that so let me explain. This event is an annual competition between the 4 best schools in Stockholm: Sodra Latin, Ostrareal, Kungsolmen and mine: Norra Real. This competition (100% organized by the students) is divided in many days and many different categories like soccer, dance, running, singing, general knowledge… 

just a small picture of my school

So last week was the “final day” which is usually the soccer competition. So for this day all the schools had rented a stadium, a real one where the police was guarding the entrance and where we needed a ticket to get in! Every school arrived with his colors and huge flags, I think that we were maybe 1500 students here, even more! The entire school walked together from the school to the stadium, dressed in black and white (my school color), singing, screaming… it was really a huge and great feeling! My school didn’t win, we arrived to the final and loosed at the penalty. But it was just amazing to see how the students are free to organize this type of event.

(you can have a look at the small video that I made to have an idea of the ambiance)

Otherwise as I said the weather is now so nice in Stockholm, warm and sunny! Maybe too much sunny, the sky is now blue until eleven and starts to be blue again at two o’clock in the morning as you can see on the following picture. Last night I forget to close my curtains and the light woke me up around ten past two and I took that picture by my window. (The sun is up in the sky at 4 o'clock!)

Stockholm in May: 2 in the morning

We can also notice that in the North of Sweden, there is now light all of the time! Anyway I really enjoy Stockholm during the summer; it’s so nice with the water, the open flower and the great number of trees and parks.

In 6 weeks I won’t be any more in Sweden but I’m totally enjoying those last weeks, I hope you are all having also such a great time!

See you soon!
