CULTURE SHOCK “Did you hear his accent? It’s so neat!’’ Many students enjoy talking to foreign ex- change students for one reason or another. Kristy Mi- chaels likes the program because, “you can learn so much about different coun- tries and cultures. Besides, some of those guys are really cute.’’ Other people ask for help with their Spanish or German homework. This year we’ve had five ex- change students who have traveled far from home to learn about life in the United States. Cova, a senior from Spain says, “I love it! All the people are so friendly here. The other students are: Eulalia Torello Sibell from Spain; Atle Messel from Nor- way; Alexander (Sascha) Furst from Germany; and Annesofie Karlsson from the Nether- lands. Atle finds many differences between life in Norway and life here. He says, In Norway we have ten minutes to relax between classes and teachers run around changing classes instead of the students. The good thing about classes here is that you see new faces in each class.” Eulalia says, “I like it here at Baker very much and I enjoy going to the football games because we don’t have football in Spain.” Katie Brady Can you deci- pher this? “Jeg liker meg veldig mye over her in Amerikan.
