Summer has arrived

This weekend was one of the best weekends so far this spring/summer! Went to a summer house in Gustavsfors and had so much fun just hanging out by the lake and enjoying the great weather we get here in Sweden. I did pay for it though, and ended up with about 10 mosquito bites, NO LIE!!! :( I saw an American football game, Carlstad Crusaders, which was a lot of fun. They won, of course. Went to BMB Saturday night. I love that bar/club. Today we went tanning out by the lake here in town and enjoyed the nature/lake. We made homemade Swedish meatballs and then decided to go play on the swings to help digest our bellies! :)

A night in K-town

The night was a lot of fun, but me and Caroline were disappointed with our researching that we did that night! :( Loved the Pippi Longstocking outfit! And I really hope your knee gets better before the big football game on Saturday, then Bluemoon. Ida you were just as pretty as Princess Leia. Before the big game I must go take some R & R at my good friends summer house for the night. Can't wait! Be back Saturday to cheer on the Karlstad Crusaders!!!

Beautiful Day

Today I went running! That's a shock because I hardly ever run, let alone exercise. When the weather almost reaches 20 degrees it makes you want to do something besides sit in your room, so why not exercise? Found a great pair of leggins at the opening of the new Vila in Bergvik, ON SALE! Shopped for groceries which soon will come to an end, sadly. But a great day it was.

3 weeks left

Today marks 3 weeks till my plane home to good ol' Ross, OH. It's amazing how fast time flies. I feel like I just got here yesterday. April 2008 is when I found out that I was headed to Karlstad, Sweden. Now in June 2009 it's all over. Definitely have mixed feelings on coming home, because at the same time I would love to stay here in Sweden. I'm home for 5-6 days then off to summer school I go. :( Let's just hope that these last 3 weeks go as slow as possible! I don't think they will, but we can always hope. Amazing how time flies when your having a great time!

Campusfesten

Gosh what a weekend to remember! New an old exchange students came together, along with the swedes to party all "day and night". Great seeing old friends from last semester. Krama (my Swedish soccer team) tried to kick ass in Cope de Kau but failed, probably due to my lack of soccer skills. But who cares about winning, it's all about having fun, and that we did :) O gosh and did me and Carolina have fun with number 1 and number 2. Haha...good times, but my balcony is still crowded! You know when it's a good night when people have to be pulled out of the bushes because they passed out in the forest. O Swedish people....love' em!!!

An American in Sweden

This is my first blog and have decided to start one because I have had so many great adventures and would like to share them. I'm in Sweden and am loving every moment of it. I could say I'm feeling more and more like a Swede. I go to the library and ignore everyone that I saw over the weekend, because who knows I probably made an ass out of myself over the weekend. If I didn't have systembolaget supplying me with all of my alcohol, then it wouldn't be such a problem. Then we have campusfesten coming up this weekend, which basically = ALL DAY DRINKING/PARTYING!! :) Just another excuse to drink. Gosh do these Swedes love to drink, and now I'm falling into that same habit. Going back home will feel more like rehab, but who's complaining, NOT ME!!! Now that the sun stays out till almost 11pm I have become more social than during the dark months, when the sun went down at 3pm.
Gotta love the Swedish lifestyle!
