Okay so I guess two people do read my blog.  Cool.
Lets see what have I done in the past two weeks?
Last week was normal I guess.  Not a lot happened.  On Friday I went to my friend, Erika's, Birthday party.  We were supposed to dress up like famous people, but I didn't because I don't really have a lot of dress up clothes here.  And I don't know a lot of famous people. I think I did something on Saturday too but I can't remember.  But my host parents weren't home so I got to be all by myself which was awesome!!  Un Sunday I had to work on a presentation to give at my host mom's school on Monday.  About Canada and whether or not you can surf there.  
On Monday I skipped my one class so I could give my presentation.  It was fun but a little weird because they all asked me for my email.  But they thought I was super cool so that was cool.  Man my vocabulary has gone down the toilet.  I gave my presentation and then ate taco soup with them.  It was tasty.  And then I played jump rope with some of the girls.  But I felt lame because I couldn't jump in.  After that I walked to Dagis and hung out there for a little while.  My best friend was My or something like that.  But you don't say my you say myu.  But she kept coughing on me and it was grossing me out.  They were all coughing on me.
Tuesday and Wednesday were really lame because I stayed home sick both days.  And Wednesday was Waffle Day but I didn't get any waffles because I don't get fed that often here.  Thursday was Kulturdag at school which was really fun.  There was music and speaking places and a presentation but I skipped that and went to Rotary instead.  But my morning was spent mostly just sitting in the gym with the boys trying to set up the instruments.  My friends' band played and it was cool.  Everything is cool I guess.  Yesterday they played at the youth house and I went and watched and it was fun, cool too.  Tonight I am going to Erik and Måns' Birthday party.  It is somewhere in Tibro, but I am going to a forefest somewhere outside of Tibro, I don't know.  It is a costume party so I am being a pirate because I have a costume from Denmark.
Oh right I remember what I did last Saturday!  I went to Goteborg and met up with Rachelle.  It was so much fun.  We walked like all over Goteborg.  We went to this fortress by Haga and then walked to this beautiful park which had like a free little zoo so we looked at the animals and then we tried to go to the Culture museum, which is free, but they had closed so I will have to go back with exchangers so I can show them all the cool stuff.  We also went to this crepe place and had awesome crepes and salad and soup and the crepe man hit on Rachelle a lot.
Okay that is all.

Okay so I guess no one reads my blog, but that is cool.
Lets see what have I been up to the last month.
Or two.
I think I told you about going to Goteborg on Valentine's day and having pretty good Indian food.  It was pretty good.  But I don't really remember what I've told you about February.  At the end of February I went to a party at Tibro Parken.  It was for Magnus, Bobby and Martin's Birthday.  It was fun.  
February 25th was Semlor Day, but I didn't have one on the 25th so I met Jessica on the 26th and we had semlor.  Semlor are these like pastries that they eat between Christmas and Easter.  It is like some light baked thing with cream and almond paste in the middle.  I really like them.  In Lidkoping there is this bakery that makes them with Lingon cream which is really tasty and makes me happy.  
Oh I also met the Ausies.  They are cool.  But live so far away that it is hard to meet with them very often.  I feel kind of bad for Robyn the girl because she is so far from us.  
Rachel and Jessica and I have started a workout plan that I have been pretty good at, well it has only been like a week since we started, but I have been pretty good this week.  We have also started a book club, but the book that I was supposed to give to them I gave to Calle instead because he made fun of me for reading a tjej bok.  A girly book.  But I was reading Slumdog Millionaire so I told him he had to read it.
In March I have been bad and hung out with exchange students a lot, but yesterday I went to youth group with Swedish kids.  It was fun and next weekend I am going to Erika's b-day party and the next weekend I am going to watch the boys place at the youth house and then it is Erik and Mons' Birthday party on the Saturday.  But anyways so last weekend we went to Goteborg.  It was fun.  We met up with two exchangers our there.  We went to the "English Shop" which rocked my socks.  It was so awesome.  It had all this English stuff.  I bought Kraft Dinner and short bread and a creme Easter egg.  Plus the guy working there was really awesome.  He is from London and we spent like a half hour just talking to him.  He owns a vintage store so we went and checked it out.  We also went to Haga, like Stockholm's gamal stad.  It had like lots of little individual stores.  Rachel and I found this amazing toy store because everyone else was too cool to go into a toy store.  Rachel and I spent a lot of time there.  Playing with the doll houses and stuff.  We also bought food for recorder lady again.  We bought he a sandwich, two bananas, a stack of pancakes and a jar of apple sauce.  We wanted her to have two meals.  But I don't think she has a lot of teeth so that kind of made it more difficult.  But she was happy and bowed her head in prayer but we didn't know if we should leave or wait until she looked up again so we just stood there.  I think she was happy.  But then when we walked back past her she had it all laid out like she was trying to sell it.  Oh well.
Okay well I am going to eat potato pancakes now.
