Last First Day of High School :D
Today was my last first day of high school, I wasn’t too nervous actually, mostly just ready to get it over with… I drove Sarah and I at about 7am this morning thinking we would be early to get a good parking space. But everyone was literally already there, it was insane. Ended up parking in the worst spot in the parking lot just to be able to get out of the car and out of the mess of...

Now that summer is practically over
Summer is over, and boy, have I had a long one !? I ended school in Sweden on the 7th of June and returned home the 13th. But nobody at home was done with school yet so I had a two week extra long vacation.
School starts this Wednesday, my final year of high school. Can’t believe how weird that sounds. After not being at the school for a whole year I feel a lot of things have changed.

WOW!
A year ago today, I arrived in Sweden. Can’t believe it, it feels like yesterday but still feels so long ago. Can’t believe all the things I’ve done in that time.

SKOLAVSLUTNING! SCHOOL IS OVER! :D
As much as it pains me to be happy about this, school is finally over!!! It’s over, June 7th 2012. I can’t believe it’s actually over, time really has gone quickly.
I’m going to miss all of my friends, and all my teachers. They were all so nice to me and it is going to be hard to go back to my friends back in the US knowing I have made such good friends here in Sweden. I...

Nice day to be at VÄLA!
Spent the day with Isabelle and Lena Bosson. We shopped at Väla from 10am to 12pm. Bought some new clothes, a new dress and a new shirt! It was a nice day to see them, they’re so nice to me, :). We had Indian food for lunch, and gräddbullarian for dessert. They also bought me a present for me which was quite nice. Haven’t opened it yet, will probably do that tonight.
Tomorrow is my...

DANCE SHOWS!
These shall be my last dance shows of the year, :(. I’m so sad, but I’m quite glad too because it’s been a good year in my dance classes. I made new friends, learned new dances, and lost lots of weight at the same time, :P.
Tonight was the first of three performances, we performed “Candyman” by Christina Aguilera, “Work it out” by Street Dance 2 and...

Full Weekend Ahead... Finally!
This entire week has been totally stressful for me, with my iPod being stolen, and lots of tests coming up. Also, I have been in total pain for the day because of my sunburn, I have now burned the same exact spot 3 times… You’d think I’d learn something called Sunscreen, hahahah sunscreen, who needs that… But as a consequence of no sunscreen do I face huge agonizing pain,...

SUN SUN SUN!!! :D
Sun is out this week, 17 degrees celcius. Felt goooooooood! Got a little sunburnt today though:P
We spent the day at the Carnival today, it was really fun, I took lots of pictures of Olle on the ride and actually went on it myself.
Bad news, worst news ever in the history of my trip here. I actually, misplaced my IPOD and I’m pretty sure it was stolen… I was so freaking mad, and I...

National Tests :O
Not much to update everyone on, there are 49 days left of school for me.
Except for now we begin our dreadful “National Tests” everyone in the high school takes them whether your in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade. Since I am a second year here in Sweden we only have to take two, the math and the English. Sounds hard doesn’t it?! Especially the English one:P we began today English. They...

I don’t even know where to begin. We were having such a good time, the day they arrived seemed like only yesterday. Didn’t even feel real, felt like a dream, them sitting next to me. But unfortunately, like I said, all good things must come to an end to begin new things.
Now do I just sit here and wait for midsommar to arrive for me to go home? No. I can’t do that, but you know,...

Such a bad blogger...
I feel I have been super bad at this blogging thing. Days just fly by and I don’t even think about updating my blog because so much is just running through my mind already. Here’s a short recap:
Sunday: We drove home to Helsingborg from Kalmar where we stayed in the Best Western. Looked at the Castle and then we ate Easter dinner with the family.
Monday: We drove down to the bottom...
STOCKHOLM WEEK!
I have been away for a while and the reason of that is because I was in Stockholm with my family. We left Tuesday, the day after they arrived and drove to Stockholm. We stopped a couple times on the way and looked at my Mom’s family history things. Hard for me to recall exactly the things that happened because I have forgotten now that it is so long ago.
We stayed at the “af Chapman...

Long time no post.
It’s been a while since I had a last post, it’s been a little uneventful until today.
Frieda, my friend from Germany spent the night last night. We went to Väla and shopped a few things like my new blanket. Made out of fleece, we then ate McDonalds for lunch and headed into town. Looked around a bit there and then headed to Netto. There we bought some godis, chips, Ben &...

Today is my 17th birthday. Doesn’t really seem or feel like it but yes, I am now 17. They say 17 isn’t really a year where things happen. Well, they’re wrong, I turned 17 in Sweden, so that is something, :).
Gonna skype my family in less than an hour! Birthday wishes over skype are nice. Then tonight we will have special birthday dinner with the Zillings. Should be super...

Kony 2012
I know that this is all the talk these days but I felt I needed to write something about this. Part of the reason I have this blog is to document the things that happen to me while I am in Sweden. This, just happened to be one of those things that happen to affect me.
Years from now, I’ll look back at this blog and what the campaign hopes to accomplish should be. That’s another...

here comes the sun
We have had a lot of nice weather this week, sunny and blue skies, hardly any wind… I followed Mom to choir tonight after a long posponed action. Their singing was without a doubt, marvelous. They sang some English songs and some Swedish and they were both great.
I was planning on going on a trip to Kiruna, which is way up North. Unfortunately I had missed the deadline to sign up, I tried...
