Days 11






Here's a school computer that I use sometimes, there are computers all over the school for kids to use whenever they want. Also, the school here doesn't block websites like my school in the US so it is very easy to find the information you need when researching a subject. Shows the classroom that I thought my class would be in, I don't know why they weren't there but they weren't, I was so I made the most of it! I then went to Caitlin's rotary club, had a good time, it's in the exact same place as my club meetings! It was great weather that day!

Days 10






This was a Wednesday, a good Wednesday. I saw this truck right in front of the doors of my new apartment building, trucks are quite uncommon and this is a nice truck, never seen it since. I then saw a bunch of random teenage kids sitting at in one of the squares with booths, I think they were selling things but I'm not sure. I then went to a sports bar with some friends and watched a soccer game! I can't remember what teams were playing but some other friends and I cheered for the opposite team of another friend just because he talked so much about how good his team was. His team ended up losing, fun times I also ate a really good burger!! :D

Days 9










My first day in my new home was really good! I live in the center of town now so I can basically walk everywhere and that is nice, I like the location for sure. I also now live in an apartment so that's pretty cool. I don't know if I'll ever live in an apartment again but I think this is good practice, life is actually a lot different living in a building with other people all the time. Went to school and then walked around a little afterward, good day. They are building something by the castle, like a little dock thing that kind of goes out over the water, I'll take a picture when it's done! Ate at school and then home with my family. There was some wine at dinner and it showed on the bottle that the grapes came from Lake County California???? Where is this place?

Days 8





Moving day! I moved from my wonderful home in Adolfsberg to a new and equally wonderful home in Oskarsparken. Good stuff, pretty chill day, I didn't take all my stuff with me and I still don't have all my stuff from Adolfsberg. The Milano scarf I got from Gunn a long time ago but I had no idea that she had gotten it for me, nice mommy! A big day in the exchange life. I moved with idea that I would still live in Adolfsberg sometimes but that never happened, I haven't stayed there for any more nights. Good day though, I will miss the Högberg/Fritz family though and I appreciate everything they did for and with me! Thank you!!! My new family the Sape's are also very nice and I am grateful to them for taking me into their family.

Days 7











Sunday, mother Gunn and sister Ronja came back from Vietnam, drank a delicious watermelon shake thing from Gunn, delicious. Here shows Gunn on the cover and on a two page spread of a magazine that she was in because her house was so nice! I went and played ping pong and sauna'd with two friends, Alfred and Jesper, it was a good night, the shirts came off for no reason so you know it was intense ping pong. I then went to chill at the Skinnars with Caitlin and the family and we did an experiment we saw online. Baking soda and vinegar together and then poured the gas into a cup, invisible gas, and then put out a candle with it. Fun and very interesting stuff!

Days 6




Chilled in Västerås for a little while after the concert and enjoyed the company of the other exchange students there! Good times, ate some good Thai food.

Days 5 or/and 6







Went to Västerås to see a swedish singer, September, perform! Good times and lot's of pictures, we were only there one night, I think it was Friday to Saturday... not sure. Had a good time though and got to touch September, we were that close to her!

Days 5






Played "Straff Pingis" after school with some friends, it's a game that's like ping pong where you run around the table and the losers have to stand at the end of the table with the backs of their shirts up and the winner gets to hit the ping pong ball at them. Fun stuff, first time I played, never won and every time the others won they tried to hit me! It was a lot of fun though!

Days 4




Just a normal day, nothing special. Went to school and hung out with friends, the snow was melting quite a bit and it felt warm outside! Saw this man at the bus stop, acting quite strange, just one of the things I would never see in Lakeview.
