Fair

These past couple of nights I have been going to the county fair. Must say I miss showing my horse. :( Went to the rodeo last night and tuesday night I went to the tractor pull. Going to a different tractor pull tonight! Should be fun. Hopefully the rain will hold out. Been raining these past couple of days. No fun! :(

Trip to Michigan

I have been very busy these past couple of days. Summer school ended July 24th so I finally got to come home and now I work for my Dad everyday! What fun! Hardly anytime on the computer anymore and recently had to drive to Michigan for work. Had to go and pick up trucks and bring them back to Ohio. Saw a sign in Indiana that said "Find and report Meth". Wow does my country have a drug problem??!!! Then along the same high way I see a billboard that says "Ludlow's Guns, over 1,500 guns for sale, open 7 days a week" Haha...really now! Anytime of the week you can get a gun, no problem! Surprised it didn't say 24/7... :) Then about 100 more miles later we went through a town that is made up just like Switzerland. All the signs were in German. It was definitley an interesting trip to say the least. Then today driving through my town which has about 20 businesses if that, and one of the new businesses that just came in town is called "Baxley's Guns" I really can't get away from the guns. I almost feel like I need to buy one because everyone will have one, it's going to be the cool thing to do pretty soon!

Demolition Derby

Tonight I went to the Muncie Fair and went to the derby, which was a lot of fun. I forgot how fun those really are. I took my Korean friends, which was really fun, because I got to show them a typical "American" thing to do. It was also interesting to see there reactions to it. I'm so excited for my county fair that starts next monday. I will probably go to the rodeo, derby, and tractor pull. I must say that I miss going to fair's and experiencing my childhood. Showed my horse at the fair for 11 years straight. Brings back good memories :)

Dill Street

Dill Street is a bar/club here in my college town, and tonight was the first time I actually experienced it. Interesting to say the least. They have a balcony above the dance floor where guys watch the girls dance below. Definitely a weird feeling. Someone broke a bottle and the second it happened security comes over to sweep it up. Could you ever see that happening in Sweden? I was shocked. Everyone kept saying "excuse me, excuse me" rather than just pushing. Kindof nice, but I sortof miss the pushing! :) And guys grope you the whole time your on the dance floor and you just wanna be like, "get the f*** off me!" (even though i did enjoy dancing like that in Sweden)
But here it's just different, don't know why! Also guy's had actually bought me drinks, given that it was a special tonight $1.25, you call it; which means anything you want you get for that price. Shots, pitchers of beer, vodka, anything! :) But over all it was a good time, but I enjoy glada ankan and Bluemoon Bar more! :)

Isabelle

I spoke with my cousin Isabelle tonight. Great convo. Spoke about the upcoming family wedding, movies, life, career, and parties! At least talking with her pasts my time in Muncie. Will be leaving this coming Sunday to go back home for the rest of the summer. Not even a month will go by before I must come back to start school again. Move in date is Aug. 15th and school starts the 24th. O what fun senior year will be :)

Last week of classes

Today starts the last week of summer classes. Gosh am I happy for that. After this week just only one more month then I start school all over again. Feels like I have been going to school now for a WHOLE year! Kindof exhausting i must say. 4 projects, 3 quizzes, plus exam all due on Friday. Thank goodness my teacher understands that, that's a lot of stuff to finish in a week and is giving 2 of the quizzes open book! :) Made my day. Did nothing this past weekend. Stayed in both nights. My life has it's boring days unfortunately! Now it's work, work, work!

Harry Potter

So tonight I went and saw Harry Potter. It was a sold out show, of course. To my disappointment the movie was not good at all. There was no climax, not enough wizard fighting, and just dull. Supposedly they spent around $250 million on the movie, but you can't even tell. Yes, the special affects are really well done; the rest is not that great. But I do think you need to see it in the theaters in order to get the full affect. Just go to a matinee showing, because really it's not worth the $8.50 at night!

Great Day in a Long time

Could have been possibly one of the best days ever! I got to speak with Caroline, Clara, and Jonas today on webcam! It was like "European Day" :P Got to catch up on all of the gossip happening in Europe. :) Also discussed about New Years. Hmmmm, Stockholm or Germany? Leaning towards Germany because I haven't seen my German girls in a long time. After that, back to Sweden. I need to make money first in order to afford to go back! :) It's going ok at the moment. The county fair is coming up next week and I think I'm going to go. Either to watch the tractor pull or the demolition derby. Who knows, maybe both? Well, must say I loved today! :)

Bored

The summer in Muncie is probably one of the most boring summers I have ever had. Glad it's almost over in 2 weeks. Friday night and I'm sitting at home. There really isn't anything going on here in this town. Wish I was back in Karlstad with all of my crazy friends!

4th of July

I went to my home town in Hamilton, OH for the 4th! I had a blast. Went to a party of a high school friend and saw many friends from high school. It was sortof like a mini reunion, which was nice! I didn't get to see fireworks, which i was sortof disappointed about. Summer school is going well, and very fast. I only have 2 more weeks then I'm finished. Can't believe how fast it's going. I will go home after summer school for about a month and then head back to school to finally start my senior year of college! It goes by fast!

Another Day in Muncie

Haven't really been up to anything these past couple of days. Still looking for a job and filling out different applications but thats all. Went out last night to a bar and met some South Koreans which was really fun. I'm going home for the fourth of July which I'm pretty excited! Already a party to go to and can't wait to see some fireworks. :) It's been pretty cold here these past couple of days. About 24 or so. I know in Sweden that would be summer, but gosh I'm use to 40 so its a little chilly for me!
