It's fall...autumn.

Day 62 Oct. 11 Yesterday marks my two months of being in Sweden, time has flown :) Saturday the 9th I spent almost the whole day in Gothenburg. I really liked the city, it is the third biggest city in Sweden. First being Stockholm and Malmo being second biggest. It takes about 2 hr to drive there, so not too bad. It also ended up being very sunny out, it was a beautiful fall day! We ate some delicious food, as always and had a huge cinnamon roll. Oh, and Dakota came with us too. But as soon as I got home I was exhausted....hours and hours of walking around the city can sure make you tired.

 Hmm, in school I learned a few new things....

Anyway, I am so excited because next Wednesday I finally get to go to Germany with the Staden och Frametiden class! It should be lots of fun. I am suppose to have a test in Italian on Friday (same day I'll be in Germany) but since I won't be there I don't have to take it. My teacher said I'll just make it up but I honestly don't think I'll even be able to take it....hence the fact that I've only been to half of our Italian lessons so far and I still don't have a textbook! Yeah, so I'll see. Photography has been fine, I have a few pictures that aren't due till the 18th, but first I need to figure out what the assignment actually says...Google Translate! Spanish has also been fine, I do the work, I learn new words, it's all fine and dandy. My Swedish BC class, well still don't understand anything but thats okay, still like the class since all I really do is sit with my laptop :) And English; no clue what we are doing in that class, even though it's English and I understand everything I still somehow manage not knowing what we are doing...or when classes get canceled. All in all, school is school sometimes fun sometimes not so much.

Well since I have "some" free time on my hands I decided to take up knitting again, no clue what I plan on making but it's something for me to do. I also joined a volleyball "team", so I have practice on Monday and Thursday nights. I love it, so far. I also was introduced to the wonderful world of http://www.picnik.com/. thanks to Dakota. So I'll be spending some time on there too.

Yesterday, Dakota and I went to Karnan to take pictures. I was kind of doing like mock senior pictures for here, I think they turned out good. I really have taken a liking to photography, but I don't think I'd ever consider it as a career more of just a hobby.

So whats coming up this week, well this weekend I will be going to Eskilstuna. It's like a 5-6 hour drive north of Helsingborg. I will get to meet farmor for the first time, she is 96 years old! And hopefully I will get to meet up with Sophia who was an exchange student from Eskilstuna last year at Curtis. Also might even take a dip in the lake then jump into the sauna.

Okay, not too much else happened. Talked with my family via skype Sunday night, heard the apple squeeze was a success amidst all the rain. First year I've missed it I believe since I've lived on the island. Anywho, people please feel free to write to me or something. Need my address? Just look on the left hand column and click where it says "How to reach me....".

Until next Sunday or Monday.
