More everyday life.


Hello there again! :)
Today was my last exam for this quarter, I just finished it, and I passed the crap out of it! I am a lean, mean financial machine haha. Well, I dont get much of a break because second quarter starts tomorrow, how lame is that? Oh, and at nine in the morning, Gah. The next few weeks are going to be sooo interesting. Saturday I am going to this Easter getway trip where we go horseback riding and conoeing, I come back Sunday from that, and then Monday Johan is cooking a traditional Swedish easter dinner, yummy (I hope). I am pretty excited to see Johan cook actually, but I hope he doesn't read these blogs haha. The other day we made these things called Chokladbollar, which are delicious. I love them so much and will make them for everyone when I get home. They are made out of chocolate, oats, cocomut, coffee, sugar....well I will just have to make them for you. There is a picture of them to the left. Tuesday, after Johan's easter dinner I leave for Brussels and come back the following week, with Andy and Jenna. Maybe I can improve on some french while I am there. I actually also just booked a trip to poland for the end of April, because my friend Patrycja lives there and she needs to go home then, so we all decided to go with her. The city is called Polsnan, google it.

Until next time, TTFN :)

It's been a while...

Ok, so I understand it has been a while. I have been quite busy with school (yes I actually study) and my travelling of course. A couple of weeks ago I went to Berlin with Justine, Andy, and we met Justine's friend Clarisse there. It was really fun, and the flight there and back was really cheap, like 20E roundtrip! When we arrived we checked into the hostel. It was actually really nice, a lot nicer than the hostels I had previously stayed at. There were only 8 people in this room, opposed to the 18 we stayed with in London, and the facilities were a lot nicer, like you get your own washroom or shower, whatever. We don't spend any time there except for sleeping and such. While we were in Berlin, we did all the touristy things, saw the Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie, etc. The coolest thing I think we saw was the Eastside Gallery, which is the largest remaining portion of the Berlin Wall, and it was full of this awesome artwork. While in Berlin we tried to go out to a club or something, but we couldn't find a good one. Someone recommended for us to go to this place called Casseiopia, but it was real sketchy looking, in some alley so we didn't go. There are pictures of this place in my Berlin album on facebook if you are just wondering the actual sketchy-ness level of it, which is quite high.

Next weekend is Easter Weekend, and the school organized this trip to some place in Sweden, like 40km from Jonkoping. We are going to stay in a cabin, ride icelandic horses and go canoeing. It sounded like a lot of fun and it was only 500 SEK and that includes your food and everything! We have a week off for Easter Vacation, so the week I get back from the weekend trip, I am going to Brussels, Belgium with Andrew and Jenna. Really looking forward to it. I have so many trips lined up, Brussels, Poland, Paris, Stockholm, Copenhagen. I will inform you of each of them when I get back from them.

So, the weather here in Jonkoping is improving greatly, there is no more snow and the lakes are beginning to melt, and occasionally (like once or twice a week) I see the sun! I will have to take pictures of this place in the spring, because it seems to be much more beautiful here in the nice weather than in the winter.

Really, I should get back to my studies though because by writing this blog I am procrastinating. So until next time TTFN :)
