My price has finally arrived and I must say I'm posetivly surprised. The package  contained a Sts-bag, a T-shirt with the text "Language Trips, Summer of experience, Sts", 2 Sts pencils, 3 Sts candies, a Sts catalog and a Sts lexicon.

Is there someone out there who also has a blog about their languagetrip with sts. Because I actually have a little question. Are you going to bring your computer? 'Cause I'm not really sure if I'm going to and it would really help me making that dicision if I knew...

Anyway I can't believe it's just 40 days to go. In 40 days I'm already there - in Torquay! Woho!

To be frankly it haven't really happened much since i last wrote in the blog (I'm the winner) and so I don't have much to tell you guys. Though I'm still waiting for the price I think it will come any day now since I sent my address to Sts a couple of days ago when they asked for it. I told you the price would be a surprise, but according to the person who answered my e-mail when I asked about it, it would be either cinema tickets, t-shirts or a Sts lexicon. So no big news. But I'll tell immediately when something exciting happens!

Now to something that doesn't really have anything to do with my Torquay-trip. It's really rainy outside today, and I'm thinking about just hanging in the couch drinking tea and watching movies. How nice? I think it'll be Pirates Of The Caribbean On Stranger Tides. Because I just can't get enough of that movie, I particularly like the mermaids.

Oh I have totally forgotten to check the blog for quite a while now. And now I saw I've got a question in a comment. It was something like this:
"How did you get the countdown to Torquay on your blog?"
And here's how I did it.
It was actually quite simple. You just klick on this link and choose the date for your trip. Then you copy the code in the box that says "html:koden" and you paste it in your "kodmall" where you want the countdown.

Look what i found when i went in and checked my mail. I'm one of the 5 winners in the sts blog´s "quiz" about sts, their website as well as their destinations. So any day now I'm getting the price - wich by the way is a surprise!

STS language trips

I am so happy right now! I just got to know with which family I'm going to stay in Torquay. My Host family lives on Florida Road, Torquay. And this is the house in which I will live over the summer!

When I saw this information I immediately called my father. I was screaming and so close to crying. This is real, not a dream! It's happening, I'm going to TORQUAY!

AHHHH! I went looking if any more information had shown up on mypage, and guess what?! The departure time, flight number and so on has appeared! But still - more information to come, like host family, school information and stuff like that. ♥
Departure time is 14 July 5.55 am. Pretty early, but that's one of the things I love so much about trips. Without that early morning you won't get in the right mood. So I was really happy when I saw that the trip was starting in the morning!

I know, I know, the text in the picture is in swedish...

I can't believe it! In 68 days i will probably get ready to go to the airport to head of to torquay

Now it's finally starting to happen things!

All of you who are going on a languagetrip the summer 2012 should definetly like sts' facebooksite. I only have the link to their Swedish facebooksite, but LIKE IT! There you can get information about the trips, ask questions, and the best part is that you can get to know who are going on the same trip as you!

Hello!
This is my blog, and my name is Elin. I'm going on a language trip to Torquay the summer 2012. I'm 15 years old and I'm in the 8th grade (swedish grade system). I have a big love towards photographing. So I'm hoping to convey the feeling of my language trip in both text and images here in the blog. And for those who might be wondering: Yes, I do speak swedish. But my father came up with the - according to me - brilliant idea that i could write in english, to learn even more english than I will during my stay in Torquay. So that's a little something about myself. And if you're wondering anything else, anything! Just ask!
