FAQ

It is quite a long story about this post, but the short one is that the Prousts questions are famous all over the world,(dont ask why, is a long story), and I felt that I have to write SOMETHING in my blog.... That also reminds me that I have written anything in my diary for almost 3 weeks now.... Empty of thoughts? Dunno, but I def. know that the job I have is not stimulating me enough, therefore I have also applied to work in the reception instead of cleaning all the time....but lets see what will happend with all that.
I have spent this weekend being with UWC people, All the danes, Lilian, Hildur, Margret, Ayisha, Manuel, Rudy, Pablo (who got into a danish university!!), Nina, Nikolai and many more. It was nice to see all of them again, mostly because it proves that it is still possible to see people from all over the world.
Anyway, here comes the questions/answers:
