So, How to start? I am sitting in school right now, but we don't have a class, so I'm not sure how long/short this will be.
I have just been informed that I need to update this, so here it goes.
Today I was laughed at for telling my friend to go ask a boy out, I had completely forgot about the Swedish dating "way" when I said that. Here you don't just go and ask someone out, you become really good friends, hang out, then basically agree to be in a relationship, but that doesn't mean you have to spend every freaking second together, it is much more casual than in the U.S. Personally I think it is better her. Aside from that, I feel like my Swedish is improving, I can hold very basic conversations in Swedish now, and I am understanding things without realizing it. For example, someone will be talking in Swedish and in my brain it's almost like they are speaking English, becuase I just automatically understand, and respond to what they said without even realizing if what they said was in Swedish.
Last week we had fall break, it was so nice to not wake up everymorning to an alarm. I spent the first couple of my days of break catching up on much missed sleep, and just lounging around and watching some tv and what not. Ulf left Monday morning without my knowledge to go to Maine to see Klara (their daughter) becuase there had been some issues where she might have to come home, but fortunately she was able to stay, and Ulf returned home on Sunday. On Wednesday, Anna, Jonas, the cats, and I drove to the boat place, and took a boat to the summer house in Sandhamn, it was so beautiful there, I didn't want to leave, I spent my days their playing dutch blitz with Jonas, taking tons of pictures, and watching the sunset on the beach. It was so crazy, the first day we got there the sunset at 3:45, the next day 3:30, and the next day about 3:20! It was super crazy watching the sunset in the middle of the afternoon! Arvid and Magnus came up Saturday afternoon, and we played games, and talked a lot, and Sasturday afternoon we went and cleaned the boat and got it ready for winter. Sunday afternoon Jonas, Arvid, Magnus, and I went on a photography outing (Well me and Magnus did) and Jonas and Arvid came along and messed around. It was really fun, aside from me stepping in the grass and not seeing a puddle and getting my feet all wet. It was so pretty though, becuase there was this huge rock area where half frozen puddles that would lay in low spots on the rocks, I have pictures of that, but they are at home, so I will put those on tonight. I also have to update my facebook photo of the day albums, becuase with being sick for a week, and being so busy, I have not been able to keep up with that lately.
I don't know if I mentioned before, but I have been really sick lately, yesterday I went home early becuase I threw up, and a couple of weeks before that, I missed the intire week becuase I had a horrible headache, I felt like falling over when I stood up, and felt like puking. I ended up going to the doctor, and she decided she wanted blood work. Exactly what I wanted to do in Sweden, get my blood drawn, not! But the lady drew 5 viles, instead of back home they would only draw two. So that was not a very enjoyable day. But I ended up having a virus, but thankfully it's gone now.
Later today, I have a presentation in English class, about the US and Minnesota and school and what not, hopefully it will go good.
I think I will go for now, but that is some of the events that happened lately.
