YAY!!!!!!!!! IT works!!!!! hehehe.... I am now happy :)

Okay, this has been going on in my usual boring life...

I've been in school for three complete whole weeks now and am finally starting to get the drift of the language. The school I go to is called Karro and is located in Örebro. This school is well known for it's art groups... photography, theater, all kinds of music, ect. Nothing like the load of crap they try to give you back home. They also have some very good academic groups, but I don't really know many of the people in them.

I never start school before 8 a.m. here and I begin at 9:30 on Mondays! hehe... I have a different schedule everyday of the week, which is great. Never the same ol boring classes day after day. Some of the classes are pretty challenging, like college courses back home (oh yay), but I don't know swedish that well, so I have vertually no work and I still get credit for the class. Lucky me. The classes I take are Art group ESBD2, mathematic course B, Social Studies, History/Culture, English, PE(only once a week!), an advance Swedish course as well as a special Swedish class for exchange students, (small class, just me and the teacher), and Astronamy. Sometimes I have breaks up to an hour or more before my next class, and sometimes I'll suddenly find myself with no class to go to because they've canceled it. You can leave campus whenever you want, if your sick or whatever and your goin´g home, you just tell Reception and your free to go, no questions asked. They are so honest and trusting here. They don't lie very often, they say what they will do. At Karro, the weirder a person dresses, the nicer they are. There are no real social groups like back home either. There's no preppies, jocks, gothic..blah blah blah. Sure there are people who dress totally opposite like gothics and preppies, but they all hang out together. They judge you on your personality, not by the way you look.

JAG ÄLSKAR HER!! (I love it here) lalala... anyway, the majority of my time is spent in school, or with friends. I'll have been here six weeks come next Tuesday. hippy...

The family I was originally supposed to be with, the Årvestahl's, told me that the other family, the Thörners, wanted to have me first. They told me this two days after I had been here and all settled in. So come that Sunday, I repacked and moved over to the Thörners. They have to very wonderful daughters that live here at home. Anna-Korin, 18, and Elin who is 16. THey are both very sweet and about 5'9'', very thin, but in a healthy way, tan, and VERY LONG legs... (lol, that was for lil old mud) A lot of the women over here are beauties, and many are like from back home, though no one is overweight like back home!!! I eat three full home-cooked meals a day. I say I'm not hungry and they try to get me to eat more. The legal drinking, driving age(basically an adult) is at the age of 18 here. Most teens do drink, some do drugs, but it's like that in many countries over here. Whatever you put on your plate here, you eat. So I've had to learn not to grab how much my eyes say to eat, and how much my stomach can handle.

I admit that I do miss some things from back home, mainly my friends and and familurarity of it all, but it is a lot nicer over here in many ways. I've had some of my friends over here ask me what I think of Sweden compared to the states as a while, and I say I like Sweden better. I mean, look who are president is. Enough said.

So anywho, I miss all of you. I hope your having a good time, or at least passing the time without too much bordom! hehe... :) If you have any questions, just ask and I'll answer the best that I can. Well I must be going now, so god natt (good night). I'm nine hours ahead of you, and I have a birthday party I'm going to early tomorrow that is lasting till sometime Sunday evening, so I need to sleep while I can.

With a drowzy hej då, I bid you god natt.
