Let's see what has happened in January. I moved, but you knew that. I like my knew house with my little apartment like area and it is nice on the lake. It is pretty.
So school was the same pretty much as before Christmas. But now I have only one class on Mondays from 8:15 to 9:20 so last week I started working at my host mom's daycare. It was lots of fun and I think I learned more Swedish there than I do at school. Because the little girls say things and if I don't understand get all cranky and little girlish and say "you don't understand do you" with a smirk. But now I have learned how to say lose your teeth and all about different animals. There was one little boy there who doesn't speak very much either and we are kind of like best friends now.
But before last week lets see what I did. Justin slept over on the 16th and then we went to Göteborg with Jessica and her friend from Belgium on Saturday. It was kind of fun but I was kind of sick so I was rather tired. But we saw Nazis again. This time they had done something bad but we did not see what they did we just saw when they were lined up against the wall being frisked by the police. There were lots of police and a police dog. It was rather exciting. But they were just taken away and we were getting hungry so we went into the mall and ate at Pizza Hut. It was fun to eat in a Pizza Hut, but it was not really the same as at home. When we finished eating we came out and there were no more Nazis. I wanted to go home early because I did not feel well so Justin and I went home early. Justin went back to Lidköping and I went to watch Erik, Calle and Antons band play. They are really good. I quite enjoyed it. Then we went to Eriks house after and had and after party.
Then that week at choir I started my first Swedish Solo. It did not go so well the first time, but I think I am getting better. Carros 18th birthday was that Friday so we had a party at her house. It was really fun. I love the boys in my class, well and the girls too. We sat around and talked about what I like about Sweden and what I thought. And they asked me if they saved up money for me if I would come back next year to go on the class trip to Germany. It almost made me cry. I love them so much now. On Saturday I went to Hjo and watched the boys play again. I went with Carro. We are like groupies now.
I have also started being really nerdy again. Swedish school is rather under stimulating so I have started researching stuff like UN missions and stuff. And I have started to write a paper comparing Queen Elizabeths rule to Catherine the Greats. Yeah kind of lame but I think that it makes me happier to actually use my brain again. Plus it is good practice for next year.
On Wednesdays I finish school at like 11 or something. I have started going to Religion which is interesting. But now Jessica and I meet in Skövde earlier on Wednesdays and fika. I love talking to here. And I love Canada. Canada is really awesome. I have decided. But we found this new little cafe in Skövde with lots of good stuff and we go there a lot now and have made friends with the guy who works there. But I am pretty sure he still thinks we are American even though we have told him a bunch that we are Canadians. Last Thursday I watched the boys play in Skövde again. They were good but the other bands were a little scary. But on the bus home I talked to Erika all in Swedish and it was so fun. I think she was a little surprised at how much Swedish I could actually speak because everyone speaks English to me so I never really get a chance to speak Swedish.
This weekend I went to a folk music festival in Vara with my host parents because my host mom plays the accordion and my host dad plays the bass. It was fun. I played the accordion and sang, but it was really hard to learn the songs because we did not get the words written down, she just sang them to us and then we had to sing them back. So I made up some words and hummed a lot. But it was cool to listen to.
Yesterday was Justin's Birthday so Jessica and I went to Lidköping to see him and Rachel. It was fun. Lidköping is so much cooler than Tibro. Well it is a lot bigger at least. We had sushi and then fikad. And saw their school and stuff. It was nice to visit with them. I like them. We have a small but awesome district. I wish the Ausies were closer because I am a little afraid they might feel left out because we always hang out but we cant hang out with them because they are so far away. Oh well I invited them to Göteborg on Valentines day. But they have each other so hopefully they are good.
Okay so that is what happened in January.
I am going to make soup because I am sick
