Hej,
So I've been in Sweden for two weeks. Boy! Does it feel like I've been here longer and have known my friends for a much longer time. Nonetheless, life in Sweden has been going terrifically well!
So I'm not sure if I've told you all about my possible travel plans. Our school have trips up to Russia, a cruise ship to Finland and a possible trip to Lapland. However, the Lapland trip (which consist of dog sledding and the well-known ice hotel) might not have the green lights because of the lack of snow which create a problem of not knowing what we can do when there's limited amount of snow. So Kaddy suggested the idea that maybe we'll just go on our own. So I believe that's the plan for us. Secondly, I believe we (Florian and Adam) will be planning short trips to Stockholm, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, and somewhere in Norway. Thirdly, I think I've said this already, but I have been invited to visit Linz, Austria where two of my friends, Florian and Christina lives. So I might just take this opportunity to visit Austria. Also I've been invited to go to Poland, where my roommate and her best friend lives. So that could also be another choice for me. I might stop by in England to visit Amber and Hayley and of course my uncle. Lastly, I got invited to visit Hamburg, Germany in February or March by Kaddy. That would be an absolutely fun trip! So many choices, Such limited amount of money, So little time. Any other suggestions on which cities I should visit, let me know! And perhaps I'll make YOUR dream place into MY travel place! ;)
Sundays are "clean-up the flat" days. The three of us, Ewelina, Shizuka and I band together and make our flat look pretty. Yesterday, we had to take out the trash. Ewelina and I went to the compound room, where the only way you can enter, is to unlock it with our key swiped across the pad. When that was completed, Ewelina turns to me and said, "Ready?" And I replied back, "Let's go!" We ran into the room, she unlocked the garbage bin and we threw our bag into the bin and ran off! Slammed the door and laughed our heads off. We had to go in with one breath because of the overwhelming disgusting smell of garbage. Needless to say, we're a team ;)
I've been watching movies with friends for the past week, tons and tons of movies. Blazing Saddles, The Benchwarmers, Accepted, Catch Me If You Can, American Beauty, O Brother! Where Art Thou?, Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, and Get Smart (in theaters). We watched Get Smart at the Filmstaten, which you can see in one of my photo albums on facebook. The seatings are pretty sweet. The very last row consists of seats of two. It was fabulous!
Yesterday was the first real rain I've experience here in Sweden. It was raining cats and dogs. I went over to Adam's and thank goodness I brought Storms (my bike) with me. Other news, you might have already seen my pictures, but I have taken some snap shots of hedgehogs and a very cool mushroom!
Also, ever since I've met Florian, we have been eating ice cream every other day! But hey! I'm not complaining, ice cream is sooooooooo good! :D Even when it's cold here, and we have agreed on IT'S NEVER TOO COLD TO EAT ICE CREAM! :D Florian was eating a popsicle and we were walking towards downtown and suddenly he drops his popsicle! We looked at him and he just bended down and picked it up. But before he put it back into his mouth he asked us "Do you think it's dirty? Like this is also the bike lane, do you think there's a lot of dirt and dust?" And I replied back, "Of course, it's going to be dirty and gross!" And he said "Well I'm sure it won't kill me, it'll only make me stronger!" lol hahaha and he just kept eating his popsicle like nothing happened! But I'm sure I'll be fat when I get home, Ice cream and chocolate......
Lastly for today's blog, I played basketball again. This time, it was way more intense than the first day I played. We had about 10 players so we played full court. But it was a lot of fun, good exercise, for we played more than 2 hours!
Well I think that's it for this blog, if I've missed anything, I'll post it on the next blog whenever I get to it.
Auf Weindersehen, Baby!
Ytam.

vette vette tam!! you have so many places to go see! here's my advice to you, go to ALL of them. see as much as you want to see because money is money, you're only 20 and being "in debt" really isn't that big of a deal. heck, you'd probably earn all of it back within one summer. that's what i'm planning on doing, lol on my parents' expense. but seriously, i'm sure your parents wont mind either.
post script, i'm coming to visit you fo shiz, so even if you cant make it out exactly to where i live, it's all good. (although maybe you me and ambz can meet in london or something!)
