Sick Again!

I've been sick almost every month this year!!!! Went to school anyway today, cuz we had equality day!?! First we listened to a women talk about her experience dealing with being raped but since it was in swedish I only understood the part when she talked about growing up in Goteborg=( Then we watched a play about a girl wanting to dance but her mom wouldnt allow it. After doing a group activity and eating lunch we all met back in the "Aula" and watched the movie "Enough" with Jennifer Lopez. Pretty intense movie at the end but I didnt understand why she went into his house at the end?!?

Hope this cold doesnt last long!

Bus Stop Conversations

I always have the most interesting conversations with people at bus stops. Yesterday, while waiting for the bus to take me to futbol practice I met this man from Chile who is married to a swedish women. He's been in Sweden for about seven years and is still learning to deal with the cold!! Since he only spoke a little english I had to speak spanish and some swedish, which was... difficult!!! Just last month I met this women at a different bus stop. I cant remember where exactly she was from but we talked about the weather and the club futbol teams in Umeå and in the US. And... as Hanna likes to say " I dont really know where to go from there?". Its an interesting experience! 

Faceless Dancer...

I spent the day listening to classical music that reminded me of my sister. When I was younger, I loved going to ballet class with her. Not to participate but to watch and listen. When I'm home, she has me learn songs on the piano so I can play them for her. Yesterday, I searched youtube for songs I remember from her ballet classes. I drew a picture just for you Michelle! I only spent 5 minutes on it, so give me a break. =) 

Late Night

Last night after watching 7 Pounds followed by The Day The Earth Stood still and eating way to many fingers and brownies... I couldnt fall asleep until past 3 in the morning!! Anyway, 7 Pounds was really intense. Its hard to believe that someone would go through that much pain to benefit the lives of others. I felt bad for his friends and family though. He expected a lot from them and in a way, they were the most effected by his actions.

As for The Day The Earth Stood Still, it was... interesting! Over all I liked the movie but I didnt understand some of the events that took place. I hated how the army automatically shot at him the minute he came out of the "orb". Also, I felt like they were trying to send a message about global warming. I'm starting to think that the aliens will come to destroy us next week some time! haha... we'll see!

Jenny Blog: Day Two

Today we were supposed to be nice to each other. This lasted about 2 hours, which isnt bad! I think all the meanness started during english when Jenny and Hanna like to act like they are on crack! haha! Then Neil came in, to see how we were doing with our project and he started explaining to Jenny how she has had the advantage of everyone writing in pencil when she was in primary school (and now). Jenny answers with " oh okay, so then ink"! haha, what?? I dont know where your head was today Jenny? Just remember, I want to "help you"! We all do! =)

Jenny Blog: Day One

Today, every time Jenny would say something smart I replied with "Go Korea". Only she had no clue what I was saying cuz she doesnt speak korean. Haha!! I thought it was a good comeback to whatever swedish word she as yelling at me. Which, I know was something bad (even though she wont admit it). Its okay! I know in my heart that you don't mean what you say Jenny! =)

Lunch Lady Conspiracy

So... as Hanna Fr and I were discussing earlier at school, we believe the lunch ladies are out to get us. Haha! Well, I already know that most of them don't like me but I'm starting to think that they don't like anyone I'm with either!?! Anyway, every time Hanna and I go back to get seconds, THE FOOD IS GONE!!!! Or the food we want to have is replaced by something less tasty=(( 

Oh no... can't say which is better?

Every year countries all over Europe compete in the Eurovision song competition. This year the winner chosen to represent Sweden is Malena Ernman with the song La Voix. My Swedish family was less than happy with the result but considering the alternative, anything is better. This is a vid of the women who came in second place, less than ten points behind Malena. It's hard to say which song of hers is the best but in order to really show you how crazy she is I had to pick this one. Hope you like it! haha. 

Boarding In Hemavan

Spent the past week in Hemavan with my swedish family! The weather was cold but the snow was almost perfect! My sisters decided to go off course and ski through the trees.... I hit about 5 trees on my way down! haha
