sorry i haven't writen in forever, i kind of felt like i had nothing interesting to say since i haven't really done much. well of course i did things, but nothing that seemed so interesting to put in my blog. where shall i start?
Families!
I moved out of my first family in the end of december to live with my counsler on his farm. That was pretty cool, its really beautiful out in the country side (even though i was only 10 mins by car to town) but i saw his cows and lots of deers and what not. this is the family i went hunting with. one day his son and friend had to butcher two baby deer in the kitchen, so i watched and yeah that was... interesting.. i guess. it was very strange, but fun. and one day we went to stockholm. they have a tiny apartment in gamal stan. you can see the palace from there apartment, so that was really cool. and then we went to the national museum and i learned alot about the swedish history and art and what not. Im glad i did that. yeah i stayed there for 3 weeks it was fun but i was the only kid for some weeks so it got a little boring at times, but there house is older than our country! i find that to be so awesome. its funny cause the family is really tall, but all the doors are tiny! hehehe. oh also they had some american visitors for a couple days. a boy and his gf are from arkansas and he lived with them on a short term exchange and came back to visit. it was nice to talk to americans and like i feel like im really into the culture here now since i would watch them and see what they thought was strange is like normal for me now, but at one point it was weird. if that made sense at all. thats life at my counslers house.
Then i moved to my next real family! they are so awesome! i have 5 brothers! gustaf is the oldest and lives somewhere else in nyköping so we see him often. Oscar is 20 and lives here. Edvard is around my age but he's in italy on exchange so i dont know him. and then there is Johan and Magnus who are 15 year old twins. I couldn't tell them apart for a while. they have a nice house like right in town so its perfect. they are really busy because the twins play handbol and practice all the time and watch it all the time. we actually went and watched the handbol world cup here in sweden. that was fun, we watched brazil vs austria or something. brazil lost, but it was fun. My family is obsessed with handbol, it is there life really. Im not really home too often so i dont know them so well, but im working on that. they seem very awesome and juliana really loved her time with them.
NEWBIES:
we got 5 newbies around nyköping! its insane, we got 10 new ones in our district and 5 of them are in this tiny town. but its alot of fun. we have Tom, Jenny, Tussi from australia and then Eva and Thiago from Brazil! its a really fun group. they seem like good kids and i can see us having alot of fun together. we'll see how this goes though.It's weird to be an 'oldie' i feel like i got here yesterday and its insane to think that i have been here for over 6 months. i dont want to go home.
SCHOOL:
I. HATE. SCHOOL! i go to school, but i dont have friends. i'll leave it at that.
LANGUAGE:
so i can understand alot more now, well somedays anyways. sometimes i dont even have to translate back to english and i understand whats going on. but other days my swedish just doesnt work at all. im still afraid to talk but i know if i do talk they'll understand what im talking about. actually its annoying somtimes, i'll say a swedish word, and they wont understand so i'll repeat myself like 500 times, then they'll be like" oh! you mean ..." and just emphasize a part of the word a little different when its like exactly what i said! its frustrating, like they have to realize i have an accent when i speak swedish, and im not going to be able to say everyword perfectly. like i understand there accents when they speak english! that really annoys me somethimes. but i have had some little dreams in swedish, just like little things, but still :) and sometimes i translate my thoughts with out realizing it. im starting to get somewhere with my language i guess. and when i do talk it comes pretty naturally, i dont have to think so much.
thats my updated life really. nothing else too interesting, well there is more, but i cant really post that on my blog so :P
