So I got into he classroom, pretty nervous, but I knew that I can do that. So I sat down, saw the teacher with the sheets of the test in his hands, ready to give it to us. But suddenly somebody asks: " Could we please NOT do the test today? I hardly understand that, can we do it in wednesday?" I thought that that person is crazy you can't just reschedule a test that's impossible, although it would be great if it would be possible. But the teacher seems to hesitate and to think about that! And suddenly he asks a few people if they want to do the test today and more and more students ask "Pleeease can we take it on wednesday!" And then the teacher asks ME if I think that we should take the test today, and of course I said no. And so we didn't take the test and so I had the funniest chemistry lesson EVER because I listened to a discussion about Religion and how they made fun of the bible (Parts of it and that in a catholic school it was hilarious). THAT'S HOW AMERICA IS WORKING! I love it! :) And now a few other things I like about The USA so far:
