The United States of America!!

As some of you know i will soon be going to the USA for a month on a schooltrip. To be exact: from 10th of October to 8th of November.
I will be staying at a hotel with my class mates in Austin, Texas. We are going to school every day at “Austin Community College”. We will be studying primarily 3 subjects that are especially designed for us: "English Litterature"(includes a lot of reading, which we started on doing when we started this year of school.) "Texas History" and "Gaming and Design graphics". (The last one is the one I am most excited about. The class before us, who went on this trip had homework like: “Guitar Hero” and “World of Warcraft”. And our teacher has a cool philosophy that is very different from other teachers:-P “Counter Strike” is not just sillyness but research:-P) In gaming we will be making and designing a real game. In the end of the stay, directors of some of the biggest game companies will be coming to judge our work!

There will besides school be a lot of places that we will visit. We will take a trip to N.A.S.A to get a guided tour and see a bit of Houston. We should have gone to the small island Galveston, but as you probably know, there is not much left of that island, so we will stay right outside of Houston.
We will also take a trip to San Antonio and see The Alamo and some other tourist attractions. We will experience a football match, Halloween and the presidential election the 4th of November.

Besides that we will probably go to a concert or two in Austin and me and my Christian class mate Morten, will visit some churches. I love visiting different churches to see how they do things different, and get inspired by it. I have been travelling a lot these last two years and seen a lot of different churches. It is really interesting and i am looking forward to see some american churches.

The class consist of 16 boys and me:-P So it is going to be a challenge, which i am looking forward to!
We have been preparing this trip since we started this summer. One of the subjects that we have on the highest level we can have(A) is Communication and IT. Here we have been divided in 3 groups. Each group had to make a website to a decided target group.

Group 1: Parents and teachers(my group) – in Danish
Group 2: Young people, friends of us – in Danish
Group 3: The people we meet in the US(teachers and so on) – In English
