november.

So sorry its been a while since the last update, but nothing really exciting happened. everything is normal and getting colder and wetter. I'm starting to make some friends and i can understand a majority of whats being said now (i think). The weather here is cold, it snowed one day like alot so we all went a played in it! it was the first time rugved and juliana has really seen snow so it was exciting for them. Julianas feet were so cold she like refused to continue walking and she thought she was going to die, she reminded me of those babies at the beach that run on the hot sand but when its to hot they just stop and cry until there parents come to the rescue. she was just standing outside not wanting to be there and i couldnt stop laughing! we built snowmen and had a snowball fight, i ate a bunch of snow and we went sledding. it was funny i crashed into a bush everytime. i swear swedens making me clumsy. when phil went down on the sled i hid behind a bush and threw snow on him as he passed, so then we did it to rugved who ended up crashing and then lying on the ground for like 5 minutes, then we did it to juliana who crashed even before she reached us, so as she was rolling by we threw snow on her. I threw a snowball at her and she said, "what are you doing to my head?!" she didnt understand, but it was so fun. I'm trying to stay positive for the snow and winter even though its not my favorite season. what else have i been up to? going to school and trying to make friends, im not so great at that, but i'm trying. I've been talking to my host dad alot about culture and things like that and its really interesting and i feel like i can understand the deeper culture alot better now, he has a way of explaining things so simple but they make so much sense. i really like talking to him, hes quite interesting. the sun rises at like 8 and now its getting pretty dark at like 3.30. its absolutly crazy, and everyone feels tired all the time, not so good but different. I really need to try harder and talk more i have to really speak more swedish, i really want to i just need to remember to speak swedish. thats my goal, only speak swedish with the swedes, thats how its supposed to be. I dont really know what else, its all so normal now, im making thanksgiving for my family and exchange kids so that should be fun, and after that starts the xmas season! im really excited for that because thats when the most culture is going to come out! happy thanksgiving to you!
