bara tre månader kvar.

So first, I apologize for being one of the worst bloggers ever, but a lot has been going on, and I've spent the almost two months living life, and trying to enjoy every second of it. After I had surgery, I turned into a very unhappy person for awhile. I was pretty upset, my scar hurt, and there was nothing more that I wanted to than go home. I forgot how lucky I was and let the surgery get the best of me. Now things are really great and I'm extremely happy, and things are going really well for me. So what has happened in the last almost two months since I've last posted? A lot!

So a couple weeks after surgery, I went to the mountains with my family for a ski vacation. Because I had surgery, I couldn't ski or snowboard, so I just sat and relaxed. One day we went to Norway and I found out I understand Norwegian, which is pretty cool. Norway was basically like Sweden, but it felt wierd. After that I don't really remember what else has happened. Two weeks ago we hosted two girls that are exchange students in Finland. One is from Belguim and the other is from Czech, and somehow, amazingly she knows my friend that is there right now. Tomorrow I am leaving to go to Finland for five days with AFS, and I'll be staying with the girl from Czech. I'm pretty excited, but I've heard some bad things about Finland, so we'll see how it goes. A week and a half ago, my host parents daughter came home from the US, so I now have a sister which is a big change from what I was use to, but it's going pretty good.
Yesterday I got my travel notifications for going home, and it was pretty upsetting knowing I have only three months left (bara tre månader kvar in swedish). I will be leaving this beautiful country and flying to Minneapolis July 3rd, and going home to Duluth the following day. After a stop at Ikea to buy swedish stuff of course. ;)
I was thinking the other day about more differences between here in the US, and I thought of a couple that I thought I would mention.

• When at a stop light and the light is red, it changes to yellow and then back to green. And the stop lights are the same for pedestrian crossing.
• The insides of almost all Swedish houses, are very tidy, cute and have a modern feel. There is definately something special about how Swedes decorate that is really cute.
• If your crossing a street, and it's not a corner with a real light, there is a certain exchange between you and the driver of the car, and almost always the car will stop for you.
  
• "Typ" is a Swedish word that means like, and in in english one might say "It's going good" and in swedish that would be " Det går bra" and then you can add "typ" to the end. It's a typical Swedish teenager thing to do.
• You don't tip in restruants

I'll try to think of more!

It's bed time for me! It's really late here, but I decided I need to update everyone! I'll post pictures soon!
