a little from my Hip-Hop assesment.

"I've been led on my way, with knowledge and understanding of the world today.
Hip-Hop is changing  it's course, but one thing will always stay, the stories of lives, the history and spirit of change."

And then thanksgiv.... Chrismas? came.

HEY THERE.

As usual the weeks and been filled with stuff! Just yesterday I finished a 20 page assessment for my Hip-Hop class (which is also why I chose to write my blog now). Last week I had Thanksgiving vacation and I went with my family to RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) in Providence. Soo much fun. It was my second time being there and I got to see my funny/artsy host brother doing a video shoot for one of his project. The Thanksgiving day was a truly untraditional Thanksgiving-day. Usually you are together with your family all day eating/drinking getting ready for the big meal (Turkey, mashed potatoes, salads, cranberry sauce, apple pie and pumpkin pie). Sounds good doesn't it? Well as lucky as I am I actually two weeks before the real Thanksgiving day, I got to experience one at my French exchange student friend's house. They were going to Spain to visit their daughter on Thanksgiving, so they chose to have a pre-thanksgiving at their house. ANYWAYS, back to my actual story. My real Thanksgiving-day was fairly unusual. We first went to the beach to shoot Martín's (my hostbrother) film, then a Peruvian restaurant and finally went to see a movie about Hawaii. Kind of exotic huh? And then we were driving home and entered Vermont the landscape suddenly changed into a Christmas landscape. Snow everywhere and decorations hanging in every shop. You really do get to see everything in America!

My first Thanksgiving!
Turkeeeeeeeeey!
