My Great Uncle Turned 90!

The main, important reason we went to Åhus at all was to celebrate my great uncle, Sixtens birthday. His real birthday was just yesterday, where he turned the big 9.0. My first 90th birthday party:) I've never been soo proud to be part of his family. It turns out that hes played a huge part in this world!

Happy Birthday Sixten!

Lucia, Klasskampen, & Åhus

Friday was a full day! I had a choice b/t sleeping in and waking up early to have some school spirit. And being the one i am I chose to wake up early and show support:) It was totally worth it when i got there! The Lucia was soo pretty, and the Klasskampen was awesome. There is soo much talent at my school! After klasskampen me and some friends when outside to take some fun pictures of the pretty snow in Linköping. And pretty much right after that i got to run to where my family was going to pick me up, which from there we would drive 4 hours south to a little town called Åhus.

Oh and I have some footage of what happened at school:)

Lucia Two Days Early:)

Today I had school, but I really don't think I had to be there. The day started with a physics test, that my teacher told me that I didn't have to take. So I went to the library to read my book(Bröderna Lejonhjärta). Then we had Swedish class, where my class had another test. My teacher made me write a summary of the book of how far i had come. I had math where I had alot of energy stored up. I think I kind of lost it. I couldn't stop laughing!! I had my first Tomte Skum Candys of the year:) Me, and Lovisa got a ride from Anders to go to Klaras house where I had dinner and then Klara went with me to see Calle be a little Santa Clause:) SOO CUTE!!

WEDNESDAY

Wednesday was just another crazy day, but a crazy day where I got the chance to sleep in! I only had one class that day and it was at 2 in the afternoon. I love Wednesdays!!! After class I went to Mormors apartment where I had a two hours before I went to the theater across the street:) While I was with Mormor, I got to eat dinner and watch the Nobel Prize! It's so neat that Sweden can play such a big part in peace in the world;)
The play that I went to later that night was alot like Desocialia, but you had to think alot more. It was very deep:)

*Fun Story of the Day* On the way to the theater I had to walk through town, I put on my Christmas music and it started snowing!! It was magical:)

TUESDAY!

Tuesday was crazy. I barely got to be at home! I left early in the morning to get to school by 8:10 where we had math, and had three two more classes that day, before the last class and the second to last class i had entire 3 hours to waste. Fun stuff:) I had a three hours class as the last class of the day, but my day was not done there. I got to stay to go to the meeting where people that want to dance could find a date. Well it didn't go so well. The commitee that was supposed to be there never ended up coming. I ended up rushing home to be able to get to klaras house so that i could meet her on time to work out with her. OMG! My body was is still in pain and its Thursday. It was definitely the most fun workout I have ever been on! It was great music and dancing:) Two of my favorite things;)

*16 DAYS*

My Day

School was fun. In it being school type of way. I went to school thinking I had a first period class, and me being me I forgot that we have no Chemistry anymore. Awesome. Its fun going to school stressed out thinking your late then figuring out that there would be nothing to be stressed over. Oh well. In swedish schools theres something called KlassKampen or as Eric says "It means ClassCamp." Which has absolutely nothing to do with KlassKampen. Well it turns out that its kind of like a talent show but classes compete against each other. I came up with the sweet idea of doing the OkGo dance--->

It turns out we would only have four days to learn it, so it wasn't exactly the greatest idea in the world:)

After school we had another exchange students meeting with Kerstin:) We got an amazing cheescake!! So yummmy!! I went with Julia and Bertha to there swedish class, totally last minute where I got to be an assistant while the rest of the class made gingerbread cookies and answered christmas questions. I got to help. I was pretty sweet;)

I also got to go to Brontes rotary meeting tonight. Not much happened there. There was a Christams tree there that was really pretty:)

Its Almost Here!!!!!

<--17 Days Left Until

X-MAS!!!!!

FUN.FUN.

Last night was alot of fun. Just hanging out with friends and celebrating being alive for 18 years! Definitely something to celebrate... Me and five other girls celebrated Vickans Birthday by going out to eat at a Greek restaurant in town. Soo good! I had some mousaka, which it turns out i cant pronounce right and ended up saying moosekaka... I said it right when I asked for it after alot of practrice. We went to a friends house for a while to play some games;) It was definitely a fun night! I also was able to learn alot of interesting things about people and the culture I live in now(swedish culture).

Have been a bad blogger... I know...

I going to start again ready:)

Thursday the last ever Chemistry test happened. YAY!! i mean..uhhh..aww.. Well now since there is no more chemistry biology is taking its place. But that should be good, I definitely liked biology more than chemistry in high school.

Friday was tough. The day was just hard mentally I think, but it ended pretty well. In psychology we saw The Wave, a movie about manipulation. A REALLY GOOD MOVIE. Its just kind of creepy... I went into town after school. By the time I got into town it was pitch black outside and the lights light up, to make the city seem a little bit brighter. But there totally gorgeous. It almost(ALMOST) worth going into town freezing, to just see the lights:) Idol was on Friday night. Only one more episode till the finally. It was kind of sad, b/c my favorite from the beginning was Robin and he was the one who got voted off...But it should be fun to see who wins next week.

I Need to go to BED!!

I want it!!!----------->>>>>>>>>

Not much more to say about today:) Chemistry is over..the last test ever was taken today. No need to ask how "well" it went for me......it didn't;) Oh well, maybe I'll be able to be smarter in Math or Swedish?

Only 20 more days!!!!

The Beauty of Kemi(swedish for chemistry)

School was pretty much empty today... Theres a final Chemistry test tomorrow, the last one for everyone in my class ever. I get the honor of getting to be a part of it:) No words are able to express how excited I am!(P.S.-i'm terrible at showing sarcasim while i type btw) I think I might miss the wonderful teachings of Hans actually...I rode my bike all the way to the bus stop when I thought how crazy cold it was outside and by the time I get home it would be pitch black and probably 5 degrees colder. So I took the bus---\/---

Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet

This morning i think i might of gotten one of the coolest wake up calls ever! The Funny Buddy, randomly called me(through skype) at 6 am to tell me he was going to bed, and tease me a little... right after my cell phone alarm rang. I thought it was pretty awesome:P Probably wouldn't be as awesome though if I didn't have to wake up I must say...But anyways, the reason I woke up so ridiculously early was to get a ride to school, where I was going to go on a field trip into Stockholm(the greatest city in the world). My "biology" class and I were all off to see the Nature & History Museum. It was alot of fun actuallly. It took a while, but I ended up getting to walk through a whales stomach. I felt a little like pinocchio:) Me and three others got to see a Underwater Monsters in 3D in the Imax theater for 50 kroner...It doesn't get scarier than that...Oh, and Texas was featured in the movie(appromimately 15 seconds) for finding fossils, which I think I have been in the same place they showed... There was something called the Climate Show, pretty much something that Al Gore would have have probably created. There was a room where you could watch a video of tragic weather stories and you felt a little as if you were there b/c there were air and light machines in the room, so they pushed me around a little. Thats how you have fun on a Tuesday. We all got back home around 6 pm where I headed straight to my g-mothers apartment to have dinner. I might have fallen asleep at the table, b/c when Ulla asked me a question, I had no idea what she was talking about, pretty much solving the whole I have to go to bed.

Bring on Christmas!

Yesterday was the first time I heard christmas music in a store and it got me in serious christmas spirit.

Chris Brown - This Christmas

Happy Birthday Vickan!!

Today was probably the best Monday in a long time! It also turned out to be viktorias birthday. There was no way the day was going to go by without celebrating. So we ended up singing happy birthday to her infront of about 100-200 ppl in the cafeteria(not exactly sure how many were in there at the time)...

We all put X# of money into buying here cake, that was pretty much amazing. After school I went some shopping with Klara & Nina before they left to go study for chemistry. So RIDING MY BIKE today was not exactly the greatest idea i have ever had. It ended up raining on the way home. My glasses ended up fogging and i could barely see anything, but it was definitely better when your with friends. I talked to allison when I got home. LOVE HER! I got to show here the awesomest thing ever. I got an advent calender, with a High School Musical theme, from Ulla. So cool. So now everyday I can have a peace of chocolate before christmas. GNARLY!
