Back 'Home'

Now i can officially say it is all over.
The past month of January has been the hardest, most spontaneous and sad month of my life.

Nearly everyday i ask myself questions like:
'I wonder when i will go back...?'
'I wonder if my host families will keep contact...?'
'I wonder if my friends will stay by my side, not just now, but for life or at least a little bit longer...?'


'Will anything ever be as good as my past year....?'

The last question i can answer. And that will be an easy 'No'. Not anything can live up to the experiences, the friends, the families and everything i have been through last year.

Now im back i have started school and also am on a job hunt. I am in my second last year of school and the work is pretty hard... Especially after having a so called 'holiday' for a year.
Yesterday i went to my Exchange year de brief. We had to all talk about our year and the ups and lows. I felt so lucky because i loved my entire year, and have nothing to complain about. :) I was the most lucky exchange student and i have everyone that was involved to thank. <3

Well, now i have to get some AWESOME homework done. The classes i am doing this year are Math, English, Religious education, History, Geography and Visual Communications.
Its going to be oneeeee longgggg year. . .

Until nextime,
xoxo

Good-bye

Today was a loverly day.

I woke up to the sun through my window, took a shower and got ready to go to my rotary lunch.
I had to do my presentation today. Made me realise, i go home on Friday...

Shit.

Anyway. I told everyone about my year and finished it off my singing a song with my friend, Erik (Muffin Man).

'kom ihåg mig då'

in the afternoon i got my ear pierced! WOOOO! xD  Nessa , Malin and i got it done together :)
Nice memory.

In the afternoon i met with Andy and we had a snow fight and had 'fika'

In the evening i met Mattias and hung out and talked.

When i got home at like 10 i had dinner and dessert (at the same time... HARDCORE) With my host mum :)


DONT WANT TO LEAVE SWEDEN!!!!

Oh yeah, i havent started packing (AT ALL) yet.... And i leave on Friday...

Too many memories.

12 days.
That is not long.
Not long at all.

This time last year i wrote 'Pete Murray says.. "Soon, You'll see."

Well, never thought soon would finally come... Soon enough i will be gone..'

Well, now i am having those exact feelings again. Its a new year, and soon i will be in the place i call home.

 Though right now it seems to me like i dont want to go home. I have fell in love with this country, Sweden. And i have fell in love with my family and my friends here. I will come back. in 3 years.

 

First i will finish school, then work for a year. Then come back to Sweden. Thats my plan. 

SO! On Friday it was New years. One crazy night. :) 

On Wednesday it will be my good bye party. I hope all goes well...  Then starts the packing. *yayyyyyy*

Happy 18th birthday Niklas. :)

Until nextime,

Because it is beautiful

"With a crown of flaming candles, glittering garlands of tinsel and flowing white gowns, celebrants of a traditional St. Lucia ceremony brought a glow to the winter dark.

In Sweden, pageants like this one kick off the season of jul, a midwinter drinking and eating festival celebrating the turn of the season, and return of the sun at the winter solstice. Serious business in a country where winter nights can stretch to 21 hours."

Christmas is soon here.

Haga (My school)'s Lucia choir.

Thats me! second to the left from Lucia! :)

After we got evacuated from the school because the fire alarm went off...

Oh yeah... And we where all wearing 'Beach Santa' cloths... aka, next to nothing...

Too much fake tan?.. Yes.

BEACH TIMEEEEE.

Lets sing our own Christmas song :)

What my hair looked like AFTER Niklas (Aka, my bitch) decided to make it crazy ...

Godjul!

Merry Christmas!

Don't over think it.

Today was one of those days you just know you will remember for the rest of your life.

Full of great people, fun activities, and nice cozy talks.

It was my dear friend Heathers 18th. Also, today my host mum and i spent 2 hours outside in the snow making a snow racing track. :) Later in the night i met up with a girl i haven't talked to in too long.

I walked home in the freezing cold at 1 in the morning wondering why it is people make drama.

Drama:
Urban dictionary says drama is 'making a big deal over something unnecessarily' .


The thing is though, sometimes drama is something you hold onto because you are afraid if you let go and give whatever it is a chance it will go wrong. It will blow up, and make things go wrong. No matter how long you ignore it. 
 And something else is, we all live off it. This drama is everywhere. There is no way to avoid it, no matter how much you try.
The best way to fix it is with words. People get blinded by self pity or sometimes the opposite, which is sad.
Sometimes the best thing is too face it. Work it out. Fix it. Then the drama is over, well, sometimes.


Drama does not always involve another person. People make drama with themselves. 
Loose self confidence. Loose their happiness. Loose their way. 


Look around. There is always someone that needs you, and if you aren't there for them, who else is going to be?

Some people just don't understand that.
