Vi Ses Snart

Left Umeå, friends and family this past friday=( I had a chance to see the Brenboll tournament before I left which was crazy! There were a lot of ridiculous outfits but I think the most ridiculous was this boy in my sister Emma´s class who was wearing a Borat swimsuit... not a pretty sight!
Im in Stockholm for the week with my dad and sister. Then its off to the states on thursday

Facebook saved my phone!

I went to the University with a family friend this morning then decided to take the bus into town with my sister. While boarding the bus, the driver told me he didnt except credit cards only cash. Haha, so my sister and I had to get off the bus and try and find an ATM machine! At some point in time I lost my phone, only I didnt realize I didnt have it on me until I was downtown at some mall. No matter, all I had to do is take the bus back to the University and look for my phone. We went to our friends office and luckily she had it=) Meanwhile, my friend in Umeå received a call from one of the students at the University in Luleå telling her she found my phone and that it was one of the only numbers she could call cuz the rest were all American! haha! So my friends go to the University of Umeå and to try and find my dad. Only the University of Umeå is huge and he could have been anywhere. somehow, they get lucky in a search through the data base and find my dads friend! Unfortunately my sisters phone doesnt work in Sweden so they were really no help. After calling my Swedish parents, my friends search through facebook for my friend in Luleå and they get her cell phone! yay! They call her, she calls her mom, and I get my phone=) all that for one phone=) and it all happened within two hours!haha.... Thank you facebook and friends!

Luleå

Went out with the Canoe this morning wit my sister. The weather was pretty nice and the water was calm so we did okay! I told her Luleå was real relaxing and she said "all of Sweden seems relaxing".... but once we arrived she knew exactly what I meant. This time of year it never gets dark! which can be bad sometimes if you really need to get to bed early but I like it=) Went into town and sat by the water when my dad and sister finally got dressed. I could have sat watching the sun behind the clouds all day ! Just one more week left in Sweden and ill be back in the US=(

Chillin

Michelle arrived this past tuesday which has been a lot of fun!! Two weeks really isnt enough time to do everything you want and to see everyone but oh well. Im enjoying showing my sister around but it also kinda sad seeing everyone for the last time=( Hopefully ill be back in Umeå soon! Until then, just enjoying my last few weeks here along with the nice weather=)

Lagom

Cant remember the last time I went to a park with friends. Even though the weather wasnt perfect today, it was still nice enough to go outside and have some fun=) Hanna and I met up to go to Jenny's house... mainly cuz Hanna really wanted to see Milton (Jenny's Dog) but we wanted to hang out with Jenny as well! After a warm greeting from Milton, we decided to go to the park. I think we played on this strange contraption for about an hour! It was too much fun but also very tiring, so we kinda crashed at the end! I know the three of us must have looked a little strange to all of the parents of little children at the park. Yelling and screaming while riding the tire ride and going down the slide=) I dont nearly go to the park as often as I should so im thinking of making it a required activity every once or twice a month!! 

Case of the Monday's=)

Didnt think I would have a nice and relaxing monday but I guess I was wrong. Woke up pretty late this morning then watched the season finale of Brothers and Sisters while eating breakfast. All in all it was a nice ending to the third season but it didnt leave many cliffhangers to be exited about for the fourth season=( Anyway, after lunch I went to the caf with Jenny and basically just chilled. I think Jenny would have much rather walked around or gone outside but I was fine with just sitting. After about 2 hours of chillin we were joined by an interesting guy! haha!! I dont really know how else to describe the situation? I konw its hard to talk to someone if you dont speak their language especially if one of the only things you know how to say is "hey beautiful" haha. At least he tried.. and I'm not trying to be mean but it was really funny and awkward at the same time! So after walking away from an extremely weird situation I then had a conversation about four swedish sayings that you need to know. These could get you anywhere you wanna go and possible bad situations depending on when you use them=)) haha, it was nice just chilling for anther hour! Then when I finally went out to shoot some buckets i realized that it was nearly 4 and I had to make dinner=( not good! luckely Emma saved my butt!!

the weekend

Crazy weekend!! Had a birthday party on Friday at Emma's!! Then of course went to the club after followed by Max! After my soccer game on Saturday I went home and ate with the fam. Then, I went to see X-men=) Love Hugh!!! Haha, I ate an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's half baked ice cream!! It was so good=) 

Birthday

Today is my birthday! I got woken up by my swedish family at around 7 am with singing and cake and a pair of Bjorn Borg underwear which are very very comfortable! =) I mostly just chilled at school cuz there wasnt much else to do but it was fine and today wasnt really a fast day at all. Soccer sucked cuz it was cold and rainy but I had an interesting time waiting for the bus and riding to practice. One of my team mates got on three wrong buses until she finally boarded the right one! haha. She went in the complete wrong direction, then when she finally made it back to vasaplan she got on bus that was going to take her back in the direction she came from. Luckily she figured it out before it was too late =) Anyway, I had a really nice dinner followed by some more of that great cake! I ended the night by watching a movie with my swedish fam=) All in all I enjoyed my b-day! Happy to be 19!!!

Day before the day

Had a good day today! Went to the library for english and sat and listened to music... its was a nice and relaxing start to the day. Then since I had over a two hour break, Jenny and I played cards. Hahaha, one of the most interesting games I've ever played=)  Mostly cuz a certain someone was always cheating!!! I also got to play basketball! Although next time Jenny will play with me! No Joke!! To top it all off, Hanna took me to the Taj Mahal for dinn dinn!! The food tasted like heaven and thats not an exaggeration=) 

Thanks Hanna!!! wonderful b- day gift!

"Stay Gold"

Had a pretty relaxing weekend! On thursday, there was a bonfire in almost every neighborhood in Umeå. I seems like as soon as warm weather comes along, everyone pops outside. One of the best parts of my weekend was just riding through town watching all the people enjoy the warm weather=) Also, when I woke up saturday morning I thought it was sunday!! Now that it is actually sunday, it doesnt feel as satisfying But at least the weekend lasted long.

Anyway... I'm thinking about sitting outside and reading a book. Sunday's are always slow days for me. Gotta find some new music first and maybe catch up on House M.D.
