University Monday 7th March by Caroline

Today we did loads of things. In the morning we had the first lesson with our correspondant, because we left school at 9:10.

We walked until a book shop situated near the university district, where we could buy souvenirs, there was a lot of Huskies stuff (a famous university sport team).

Afterwards we met a young woman (very pretty, for the biggest happiness of the French boys), Kendra Clawsom.

She was at Seattle Prep a couple of years ago, and now she's studying in the University, she wants to be a nurse later. She explained to us that, in this moment she does general studies, and she is a sophomore (so the second and last year) but after that she will do specialized, with subjects closer of her future job.
She made us visit some places in the university : the library, which is very silent, but the place where the students eat too, which is noisier.

These are three different librairies or study halls.

We walked between all the buildings and she explained to us all the cherry trees from the park are actually gifts from the Japanese after World War II.

So we learned a lot !
Moreover, Kendra lives in a house with other girl students, they are like a community. There are so may houses like that one in the U district, not mixed, students share their bedrooms, from 4 persons to 8 persons by room. We asked her about the price of the university, and Kendra said it's around 2300 $ for 3 months, and the same price to live in her house.

Then we said goodbye to our guide, and went in a park to have a picnic.

In the afternoon we visited the Burke Museum, where there was an exhibition about other cultures, former practices of some tribes ...


We wrote all notes on a questionnaire, so Madame Fletcher will check if we did good work (and of course we did.)
To finish we took the bus to the school, where everybody could find their correpondants and come back home.
