Sweden...I am still here...

So I think the novelty has definately worn off. I still love it, and I still am glad to be here, but I am kind of starting to be just like "yeah whatever...I've seen that now, I just want to sit on a couch and be lazy with my roomates." Too bad I DON'T HAVE any roomates! lol, next year...
David is coming in 11 days, I am so excited for that! We are going to Oslo and Bergen, which will be a great trip. I get to see Fjords!
Alison, Beth and I are trying to plan a trip to Rome, we will see how that goes. I also really want to get to Copenhagen and Germany. Maybe even Austria? Oh if only I had loads of money! That would be sweet.
Aimee is coming on April 13th too so that will be SWEET! I lava her so soo much! (Swedes do NOT have any lava...I dont think they know what it is. They know that they like to be neutral in as many things as possible, and I think this extends to their lava philosophy. No lava for people...just indifference.)

Sweden

Thoughts on Stockholm:

• I love the architecture in the old areas of the city


• I miss not having my own computer to sit at for hours on end


• I like Germans


• I don't really like the Spanish guys who live in my hall. They're kind of loud and creepy. Plus they set a fire in our common room.


• Having a digital camera is sweet.


• Its a good thing pasta is so cheap because its also very tasty. Poor students staying in foreign countries should always eat a lot of pasta.


• I miss Hannah.


• I also miss Kari, Dan, Justin, Kelly, Steph, Jordan, Billiam, Rae, Amiee-Dog, Woody, having a car, and my pillow.


• Swedish pastries may look delicous, but they are actually disgusting. I ate this chocolate thing and I think it had rum in it. SICK. Rum and choc. do not go together. (Now coffee and choc. is a different story. Why couldnt they have put coffee in it?)


• Swedish chocolates are delicious as long as it is not in pastery form.


• Swedish cheese is much better than American cheese. It is soo good. We have cheese parties where we sit around and eat it because it is so good. Everything else here seems to be rather bland.


• If you are planning on getting lost, be sure to wear shoes that have lots of shock support otherwise you might end up with shin splints.


• I bought a litte purple plant and I named it Celery. I tried to name it Alice but then I remembered my plant back home named Alice so I had to give it a new name. I tried naming it all sorts of things but for some reason it just ended up being Celery. (you know, like the vegetable. If you eat celery you're actually consuming negative calories.)


• I like to make blogs in list-form. It seems to fit my scatterbrained thoughts.

Time and Confusion

So the title of my very own blog spot, inspired by Hannah's blog, was inspired by this Anberlin song. :) I thought it fitting, for some reason. Maybe it has to do with me feeling old and confused or something. (Or maybe just completely overly emotional about leaving Minnesota and the US for a very long period of time... Hannah you're doing it for twice the ammount of time, I don't know how you could do it...he he he) I'm also creating this blog for the SOLE purpose of writing sweet stuff and putting in sweet pictures to tell everyone of what I am up to in the land of the Swedes.
anyways, here's the song-

Taime and Confusion~ Anberlin
live for today
we'll dream tomorrow
we've got big plans in sight
we'll take this city and by nightfall...
the bright lights are calling

everything is going our way
everything is just as we've planned
this is our future (from what we've heard)
and i've still got your hand

and it feels like we could last forever
and i'm not doing this alone

when memories fade
we've got each other
when time and confusion collide
singin' i hold it all when i hold you
when friends walk other ways
we've got each other
i hold it all when i hold
i hold it all when i hold you

we fell on hard times
this isn't the ideal
we're miles from home
doing the best that we can (best that we can)

i won't do this without you
i won't do this without you
so take heart...
'cause you know that you have mine

and it feels like we could last forever
and i'm not doing to do this alone

its not about the money we make
its about the passions that we ache for
what makes your heart beat faster
tell me now what does your body long after

i don't care now where we live
it's not where, or what, or who we were with
i just need you in my life
so promise me again

when memories fade
we've got each other
when time and confusion collide
singin' i hold it all when i hold you
when friends walk other ways
we've got each other
i hold it all when i hold
i hold it all when i hold you
