ABC Book and Important Documents
Most of the Swedish students have got their ABC books by now and also some important information about how to prepare for the trip. Since I will take care of Swedish students only until we arrive in Brighton, I will blog about preparations mainly from a Swedish perspective.
After reading several student blogs I've noticed that many of you are very happy to have received the ABC book and I remember the feeling from when I was an STS student myself. I read it through over and over and imagined how it would be to experience it all in reality. Reality was actually far better, but keep on reading. It's not only fun, but also important to read the ABC book.
Among pack lists, questions and answers and information about your destination you also find THE RULES. These rules exists for the sake of your safety and your parents will actually have to sign and send in an agreement that they've read and accept these rules. Basically, it's about you not leaving the course town without a leader, not drinking alcohol, hitchhiking, smoking or taking drugs. Nothing strange really, but make sure both you and your parents read them through and sign the Parental Agreement (Målsmans Godkännande). Then print it out and send it to STS! You find it among other Brighton documents here.
Rules might sound boring, but as long as everybody stick to them we will not talk much about it. We're in Brighton to have fun and improve our English, right!
