Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was amazing!  I went to NYC and it was so good to be with my family again on Thanksgiving, after having to miss it last year because I was studying abroad.  Some of my international friends went to NYC as well for the holidays so I got to show them around and hang out with them, in the big apple.  That was a lot of fun.  Saw David Guetta perform at Pacha which is a club.  Gosh his music is so good, and the club was insane.  Over 7,000 people were there!  (we asked the bouncer)  :)   It was def. a fire hazard, but when your having a good time, you don't really think about that!  haha... Only if Muncie had clubs like that and had big name DJ's that performed.  I could go every weekend!  :)  We then took a limo home from the club.  That was really random because we were looking for a cab, but the limo pulls up and says I will take all of you for $15.  We were like, heck we cant even get two cabs for $15.  There was 6 of us.  So that worked out really well.  Great way to end the night at 5 in the morning! :)

Sweden I love you, but c'mon!!!

Immigrant Weddings in Sweden are suddenly being looked down upon.  In the town Landskrona immigrants who would like to get married are suddenly being denied because of stereotypes.  The town says that immigrants usually leave a mess and when it comes to paying rent for the space, they just pay one large sum in a wad of bills.  The "Swedes" said they do not follow the norms of the Swedish society.  If people in America said that to everyone who was a different race or nationality the country would be an a uproar.  America was built on immigrants.  I feel from past experiences that Europeans don't understand the concept of the "melting pot" and look down on people from other countries.  Of course, I'm stereotyping just a bit, because its certainly not everyone from Europe, but in general a lot of nationalities in Europe do look down on other nationalities either because of history or other reasons.  Sweden needs to learn to accept other nationalities, may it be immigrants or people of different backgrounds that were born in Sweden.

Excited

So i have been really bad about posting.  I just booked my concert ticket for David Guetta in NYC Nov. 27th.  It's a club party and I cannot be more excited.  On top of that I go to NYC Nov. 20th.  :)  Only about 15 more days.  Gosh it can't get better.  Then only about 2 more months I will be in Sweden once again to celebrate New Years.  OMG!  It's just so exciting.  I just booked my final classes that I will take of my college career.  Now thats a little scary and exciting at the same time.  I'm finally going be a "grown up"!  WHOA!  Don't know if I'm ready for that role yet.  Still not quite sure what I plan on doing after I get out.  Currently I still plan on applying to teach in South Korea for a year then go into my respected career path.  We will see where the cards fall...
