5th semester, check

west beach

Hey everyone!

I just finished my 4th final and I have one left tonight. This week is always so stressful, but I feel so good now that my envs final is over. I seriously studied 14 days for this exam, and I finally thought I had everything figured out..until I took the exam. I feel like I did good though, so I am crossing my fingers for an A or at least a B!

My roommates are really the best. When I was locked in my room studying yesterday, they cleaned the entire apartment so it was literally shining when I got up this morning! And as I was studying in the library this morning, Louise even cleaned MY room! How awesome is that. Love you both!

me and my nephew holding hands

So now that my last real semester is over at SBCC I feel kind of empty.. I still have summer school left but the though just hit me; that I won't be walking over this campus anymore, eating my favorite wraps, drink my tea and read outside the west campus cafeteria and so on. That is a very weird feeling. I am going to miss it like crazy. All the classes and all the people I have gotten to know during my time here. It's sad. But life goes on and I have plans that I cannot share with all of you just yet..

And I'm going to Sweden next Friday! That is something I really look forward to. The first stop will be at my sister's house in Stockholm to visit my favorite person in the entire world; my nephew! I am beyond excited. California, Sweden and London, all in 10 days..I will really have to plan my time wisely to be able to see everyone!

Me and Louise are celebrating tonight btw, that we made it though our 5th semester and because we will have the best summer ever together in Santa Barbara.
I feel like my life is taking a turn, or I know that it is, and it is something that I did not plan at all, but sometimes life just happens, and leave you with no choice but to do what you have to do.

I am so high on life, and I thank myself daily for pushing myself into coming to SB and to study even though I was older than the average student. I tell everyone all the time that it is never too late to change your life to the better. I believe in following your inner desires because no one wants to live with regret. I feel confident about who I am here and I have noticed significant changes in myself since I left Sweden. I have grown every semester and I am so proud of myself for everything that I've accomplished.

east beach

A special Thanks to my english teacher who taught me more about myself and what I want than anyone has ever done. It's scary to think that I was debating if I should take that eng 111 or public speaking like a week before the semester started, and I was leaning towards taking public speaking.. No one is happier than me that I didn't.

I will post one last time before I leave next Friday!

My very last day!

Hey everyone,

My last day

So this is my very last day as an intern for the Marketing Department at SBCC. My feelings are very mixed and I can't believe I will not be sitting here with Victor by my side anymore! But I am so happy because I have so many memories that I will keep forever. Thinking back at this time there are certain things that stand out, like my very first day when Melanie asked me to look for bridal pictures online, the marketing campaign I got to be in charge for when SBCC won the number 1 community college in the nation, when me and Melanie shot pictures for the summer school cover on the beach, interviewing prospecting bloggers..and many more! I am sure going to miss all of you so much!

And this week at work was really fun. It was Karen's birthday yesterday so me, Victor and Melanie met up on Tuesday night in Karens office and filled it with 500 balloons! Our fingers bled and our ears were completely numb afterwards because of the noise coming out of the big machine we used but it was so much fun! And totally worth it. Karen was really surprised on her birthday, and if she's happy, I'm happy!

And today, on my very last day, I just came inside after a photo shoot around campus with the amazing Gabe! We took pictures of me at different locations for the school to use. It was a lot of fun and I will get some pretty amazing pictures that I can keep as a memory from my time at SBCC. I'll try to get them up here. He is such a great photographer.
So I had a good last week at work, and I actually feel less stressed than I have been in like a year. I wonder if that has to do with the fact that I am staying here this summer, because it hit me this week; I always get stressed and sick at the end of every semester and I have naturally just assumed that it has to do with finals but what if it had to do with me being close to going home? If that's what is stressing me out. Because I usually leave SB right after finals is done every semester. And this semester I'm leaving 10 days after finals and I'll be back here again really soon, and I am so excited to spend the summer here it's insane. I have butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it.

I feel like I finally zoned out of all of the negative stuff that I've had in my life and I feel so free. I am walking on clouds and I never ever want to come down. It is because of all of the amazing people I am surrounded by and all of the awesome things I get to do that I know I would have never done if I had stayed in Sweden. I have sort of always known that there is a possibility I might go back and stay here forever, and that is because I realized that I belong here more than I do in Sweden. That's the hard truth, because my family and friends are there so it is a tough decision but one that might be necessary for me to keep my happiness.

To be continued guys..
I will try to keep posting until the semester end!

Golden weekend.

Hi!

getting ready

So I told you all about how a women stopped her car and asked me to be a part of this event on Thursday. What I did was: wear a golden bikini, golden heels, a blonde wig, fake lashes all covered in golden body paint! I got to bring Louise as moral support too, and when we arrived at Saks around 4.30 we got directions to head up to the third floor where the dressing room for me and this other girl was. I met Sarah who was my fellow gold finger girl, and Maria who was the makeup artist.
After 90 minutes of painting, powdering and hairspraying us, we were ready to hit the party!
I got placed by the backdrop where all the guests who arrived took their picture with me! At first, I felt really awkward, posing in a bikini with strangers but I got used to it and I had so much fun!

Me and Sarah before we entered the party

All the guests were really appreciative, and I got so many complements! Everyone thought it was amazing what we did, so it was definitely worth it even though I had to take about 4 showers before all the gold got washed off my body. On Friday morning I still had gold in my ears that I couldn't get out haha.

When I moved to SB I decided to become a "yes-sayer" because that is how you get to experience new things and step out of your comfort zone, and that is what I did on Thursday, for sure. I'm really glad I did it.

So, Friday was our last blog meeting and we had a little pizza party with all the bloggers. It was so nice to see everyone and just sit down and talk about everyones lives. I'm really going to miss all of you guys! It's been so much fun to work with these blogs.

On Saturday we had a little goodbye dinner for Kirstine who is leaving us for Switzerland and Denmark today. We were 6 girls and we went to Eureka, and I had the naked fig burger with sweet potato fries and I always die a little when I eat it, it's soooo good. After dinner we went to Cadiz, and then me and Louise ended up at Tonic. We had a good night!
I'm glad I will get to see you again in August before I leave Kirstine! I will miss you this summer though..

Yesterday was spent on the beach and then I fell asleep around 10 pm which is standard for me. 8 hours of sleep every night from 10pm till 6 am. I am really a morning person, and I love to go out for a walk every morning before breakfast.

2 weeks left of lectures and then finals week. We're almost done with Spring semester.. I can't believe how time flies.  Have a good week!

Only in the U.S

Hey.

I am so excited today! I actually woke up this morning thinking that this would just be another Thursday with yoga and work, then go home to do HW for the rest of the night. Was I wrong..
After yoga class, walking down the street a women stops her car and starts talking to me. She is in charge of this event tonight at SAKS fifth avenue and she needs me to be a part of it.. The Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation is hosting a James Bond theme event. I'm not gonna tell you what I will be doing yet but check out my blog for pictures on Monday! I am really nervous but super excited! These chances only come once in a lifetime and I couldn't say no.

My favorite tea; Yogi Stress Relief

Other than that, I am really excited to tell you all that I will be spending the summer in SB! I am still going home on May 30th but I will only be home for 12 days before I go back here and attend summer school, to finish up with a math class so I'll get my AA degree. I feel like that is the best solution to everything. I'll get some more time here, and my roommates don't have to worry about finding a temporary roommate for the summer. Plus, I can pack my two bags full with stuff to bring home in the end of May, so I don't have to worry about getting everything home in one flight. I'm so happy!
I'll be going home again on August 15th.

Oh, and the weather is completely insane here right now. Yesterday, it was like 95 degrees, (34 celsius) and I think it's even hotter today! I know, you shouldn't complain, but the thing is that we are worried about fires here since we are in a severe drought and this heat plus the wind is not a good thing at all. So I really hope it will cool down soon!

 Tomorrow, I'll be stopping by one of my teachers to talk about an essay and then after that I really need to study before we have our last blog meeting and pizza party. I look forward to it.
And on Saturday we are probably going out to a "good bye dinner" for Kirstine since she is leaving for Denmark on Monday. We will miss you!!


Have a good weekend everyone!

In my confused mind

Hi!

the new public market

Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was good, I met a lot of nice people and tried out a new dinner spot! Hungry Cat on Chapala. I liked it a lot actually! It's a really nice place, who specializes on seafood. Me and Louise had the chicken sandwich though and the waitress laughed at us, but it was really delicious! We shared a bottle of wine and were the last guests to leave the place around 11 pm. She went out, but I got in a cab and went home, I was too sleepy and didn't feel like going out!

This weekend was Earth Day festival in Alameda Park! I went there with Kirstine on Saturday and it was nice. There were a lot of people and different things to do and eat. We stayed for a while then we went across State Street to West Victoria and stopped by the new market the "santa barbara public market". You have to go if you haven't already! I absolutely loved it.

public market

On Sunday I decided to take a long walk in the sun, before I skyped with my younger sister who I miss like crazy! Then I went to the gym and after that I went down to leadbetter for some much needed relaxation on the beach.

public market

 I feel like I am constantly moving from outgoing and happy to introverted and closed. I have so much stuff on my mind that I really need to clear. Although I don't think I ever will. My heart is screaming: Stay in SB. My brain is telling me to move back home and try to live a "real life" in Sweden just because that is what I should do. Once again the shoulds are taking over. I think about people back home who I might disappoint if I don't stay in Sweden and that is killing me. I am mad at myself for putting me in this situation where I no longer feel like I alone am in charge of my decisions.

This is a difficult thing guys! I am really struggling and right now I am looking at registration for summer school classes. Everyone that knows me know that my entire life, I have been a person who make decisions and just stick to them. Since I moved to SB, that has changed I'll tell you.. I am horrible at making up my mind and I am so scared of making the wrong decision. I feel like when something is completely right for you, you just know.

I'm so sorry for going on and on about this, but it's taking up a lot of my mind. But, there's only 3 weeks left of lectures! Which is crazy, and I always get amazed by how quick time goes by.
And on Friday we are having our last blog meeting and a little pizza party that I really look forward to! I only have 3 more days left at work.. that is sad, I'm gonna miss you all so much!

Much love,

Hard work pays off!

UCLA

I have to start by saying Congratulations to one of my bloggers, Helena for getting in at UCLA! I had the biggest smile on my face when I read about it in her blog ( http://sbcchelena.blogspot.com/2014/04/huge-relief.html ) and all I keep thinking is that hard work really pays off. Honestly, you can du whatever you want! Just put your mind to it. Change your life, change your path! Live your dreams, because one day it will be too late and you are left with tons of regret.
I will never regret anything I do because I follow my heart, that's what I've done since January 2012.

Corner of State/Cabrillo

I am still debating if I'm making the right decision or not. I know that I want to get my BA and I could do it in 1 year at Antioch University here in Santa Barbara. I'm still going home in May but if I feel like I will have a hard time finding a job or that I just don't feel happy in Sweden, then I'm moving back.
And thinking about that makes it easier to cope with the idea of leaving in May.

Anyways, this week have been so great! I feel like a new person. The stress is almost entirely gone because I got my environmental studies test back and I passed it! I always aim for A's in all my classes but this class has been so hard for me, so I will be completely thrilled if I get a B in this class. Mostly because environmental studies is not in my area if interest. Even though it is really important and I learn a lot, I still have a hard time with it. It is in fact a science class and I have a hard time understanding all of the words the teacher uses. But, I passed my 2 midterms so that was a huge stress relief!

yoga this morning

Plus I went to yoga this morning and that was the best thing I could have done. I always feel so good after yoga, so calm and happy. It was hard today though, a lot of warrior postures held for a long time, so your legs are burning! But I love it. They have a variety of classes at 24 hour fitness and the price is not too bad.


I'm meeting a friend of mine tonight at Blush for a glass of wine that I haven't seen in a while so I'm really excited about that! The weather is so great right now, feels like summer! And everyone is happy. I really love this time of year!

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

What is real?

My feelings about moving back home are changing rapidly. I had some sort of epiphany this weekend and I sort of panicked a little bit. It suddenly became real. I  am  not  going  to  live  here  anymore.
This gorgeous town that is my home, more than my hometown is my home.

farmers market

farmers market

This weekend was one of the best weekends since I came back in January. Me and Kirstine went to the food fare at Antioch and ate tons of food, and it was so good. Then we went down to ArchRock and had a few glasses of wine before we left for Sean's art show at DNA. It was packed as always, and we had a lot of fun. Met some nice people, mingled, and had some cheese haha.

farmers market

 Saturday we walked down town and bought some take away tea and went to the farmers market which I love. You get a certain feeling when you walk around the farmers market. After that I felt like I had to clear my head so I went for a long walk to East Beach and back, just taking everything in.
And after that I went to Leadbetter and just relaxed for a few hours.

Sunday was probably the best day of this weekend though, since we went sailing! It was the perfect day for a sail and me and Kirstine had a nice relaxing day on the boat with some wine and cheese again.

I feel completely relaxed this week, and I know it is because of the homework my english teacher gave me: have fun Malena. It might sound weird, but he gets me. He gave me the best HW he could possibly do, because he knows that I study really hard and that sometimes you have to just let go and relax, so that's what I did! And I feel like a new person. I feel like me again and I love it.

So to the question What is Real? Are the feelings I have toward moving back home now real? Or are the feelings I had a few weeks ago about wanting to start a new life real?
You know what, time will tell. Santa Barbara will still be here, and so will my hometown. What matters is what my heart wants.

Have a great week!

Change of plans

I just have to start off by saying: I feel so much better.

I found it very helpful to just talk about how I felt about everything that I have on my plate right now. My teachers, my roommates, my parents and my supervisors now all know about the stress that I am dealing with and that feels so good. I am glad that no one reacted and thought that I was making excuses, everyone is so understanding and that makes me so grateful!

So this weekend, I was supposed to go to Coachella. But I didn't. I sold my ticket because I feel like I need to hold on to the money I've got before I move back home. I will not start working in Sweden until August 1st so it was a necessary decision that I made, but I am really sad that I will miss Lana del Rey! She is one of my favorite artists of all time, I absolutely love her (check out her latest song: http://youtu.be/o3SqUUoJjW8)

But tomorrow me and Kirstine are going to the annual Food Fare that SBCC Ambassadors are hosting at Antioch between 4-6 pm. After that we are probably going to ArchRock for their happy hour, and then to DNA for my good friend Sean Blake's art show. I am so excited about that! He is so incredibly talented. And on Saturday it's my roommate Jenny's birthday! So it will be a good weekend even though it won't be Coachella!

I did go last year, so I've already had the experience and it was so amazing. I miss my friend Elvira who I went with all the time. She is probably the one that I've met here that I miss the most!

And now it's only 6 weeks left until I move back home. It's super scary, exciting, awful and wonderful all at the same time. I am really stressing about HOW I am going to pack all my stuff into 2 bags a 20 kg each... What is good though, is that I am flying out with Norweigian and they are flying nonstop to Stockholm! That is awesome, because my flight time will be like 11 hours instead of 18 that it usually takes when I have to make a stop. 

Have a great weekend!

You are the most important person in your life

our beautiful harbor

I have been thinking a lot today. I woke up and felt sick because I was so dizzy I couldn't move, nor get out of bed. I called both my mom and dad because I was really scared, I have never felt like that before.
After some slow moving, I got out of bed after like 45 minutes and got some oatmeal. I felt better but this entire day have been a blur.

What I realized today is that what I immediately thought of was "I can't be sick, I have to get my tax forms in, I have a review for the midterm in my class, I have work.." And that bothers me. If I was completely in charge of my life, I would have stayed in bed the entire day with tons of tea. But I did all those things I had to, and now I feel completely numb. My heart is beating super fast and I am mad at myself for not listening to my body, which is the most important thing in my life, it IS my life. All the "I have to do's" took over today.

Another thing I thought about is that feeling I always get when I tell someone that I am feeling sick, that feeling of "they don't really believe me".  The feeling that they all believe I am so weak and dramatic that I just imagine all these symptoms. But I am not imagining this. Stress has once again taken over and I am standing here without a clue how to handle it.

When I was 20, I could work 50 hours a week and be out partying on the weekends, sleep 5 hours a night, always on top. But something happened. I changed. (And I got older) I'm not going into detail, but I have a past that has taught me a lot, and that is why my thoughts today has been bothering me.. I know better. I need to get rid of stress, eliminate some stuff. And I can't do everything 100%. No one can. it's about prioritizing.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that YOU are the most important person in your life. Take care of yourself because your life is happening right now. Not when you get a job, not when you meet the love of your life, not when you have your first baby etc..It Is Happening Right Now. This is it.

Oh, and Easter is coming up. Give me an easter egg filled with Marabou chocolate and you will make my life a little bit easier.

Have a great week, and promise me to think twice before all those musts take over your day!

10.000 pageviews

Hey!

Santa Barbara pier

I just reached 10.000 page views which I think is pretty fun! And I am getting comments: different opinions and what readers want me to blog about. One person thought I should show more pictures of where I live and SB in general, and another one wondered about the marketing program at SBCC. So I will dedicate this blogpost to you guys.

Shoreline park which is a 2 minute walk from my house

First of all, the place where I live now is my third apartment since I moved here in Jan 2012. I actually lived on the same street my very first semester, then DT at Anapamu street before I ended up back on Oceano again. I literally have SBCC as my neighbor, takes me about 1 minute to walk to my desk in the BC building, so this location is awesome. Plus, I see the ocean from our front door.
Santa Barbara really is a beautiful place. The views still takes my breath away! And all the restaurants, cafes, shops, Paseo Nuevo (an "outdoor mall") and the entire State Street DT is so pretty! I like DT Santa Barbara because it's so cute. It's really cozy.

State Street

Now to studying marketing at SBCC. I have really enjoyed taking marketing here! I have taken every single marketing class that this college offers. (even though that is not required for the marketing certificate or the AA) I did it because I wanted to. Go to this link: http://www.sbcc.edu/apply/files/cert/mkt.pdf to find out what classes you need for the certificate, and this link http://www.sbcc.edu/apply/files/aa_as/mkt.pdf  to know what classes you need for the AA degree.

our campus

What is both good and bad, is that when you take a lot of different marketing classes, some of the content will be similar to other classes you take, although they are completely different.

the bridge between east and west campus

I like that marketing is such a broad major. I will continue my career in sales and I have learned so much about it it for example in Marketing 120, Relationship Selling, MKT 125 Customer Service and in MKT 205, Consumer selling strategies. If you are into PR, I am taking a great PR class right now, and if you are into marketing strategies and "commercials" I loved the class MKT 203 Marketing Communications. So there are a lot of ways you can make a career in marketing! And the classes provided at SBCC are really good, I have learned a lot.
A good thing is always to have good relationships with your teachers, look at me: I got recommended by one of my teachers for this internship!



 Tomorrow is our annual Spring preview day, so I will be working with my new marketing partner Gabe at the event, taking pictures. I hope the weather will be good! We have a weird fog for a few days, but hopefully it's gone tomorrow. Happy Thursday everyone!

The countdown has begun

Hello Monday and week 10 (I think?) of spring semester! I am certainly back in to my old routines after spring break and I studied a lot this weekend. Although on Thursday, I went to LA and stayed at Le Montrose Suite Hotel in West Hollywood and it was really great. They had a rooftop pool and a tennis court, and the room was really big and had a fireplace.

not the best pic, but view from the rooftop

I will try to focus on school now though, and just enjoy my last weeks in Santa Barbara. I love it so much, but at the same time I feel like I am ready to leave. I look forward to a new phase in my life and I am ready for it. So the countdown has begun, I'm coming HOME in 8 weeks! But I will certainly look for a small house or apartment in or around SB as a vacation home in the future!

I didn't get sick this entire winter but my time came now.. I've been feeling pain in my chest while running, and it has only been getting worse. So this morning i woke up and had a sore throat, chest pain and just really tired. I am in school and at work though, so I'm fine, but I just hope it'll go away so I can workout again.

the room

I turned in my essay in english 111 this morning, that I worked really hard on. It was about the hero's journey that I wrote about before. And morning was a special morning in that class too, since we made a big circle of all of our desks so we could all se each other instead of just sitting in lines. I like that because you feel like you interact more with everyone, and honestly, I saw faces of people in my class today that I have never seen! I always, always sit in the very front of all my classes, so I never even see the people behind me. That is so sad to me. All the classrooms should have a big circle of desks!

Anyways, time for a blog meeting now. Have a wonderful week everyone!

Spring Break is over!

Hey everyone!

Ralph Lauren, Camarillo

I am back in school again after a great and relaxed Spring Break and I feel really good about it! It's an amazing feeling because when I used to work back in Sweden and I had to go back to work after my vacation, I always had the worst anxiety many days ahead. Yesterday was like any other Sunday and I just thought it felt good to think about going back to school. Although it wasn't really like any other Sunday because I spent it with my mom! She has been here for 8 days now and she's leaving tomorrow.

Solvang

Solvang

swedish meatballs

We did so much fun stuff. We rented a car so we have been driving around the Santa Barbara area, and we went to Solvang one day (and had swedish meatballs, yum), Camarillo outlets one day and Montecito another. Other then that we have been spending a lot of time in the sun, by our hotel pool, and DT eating at a lot of great restaurants. Some of the ones we visited are: Something's Fishy, Eureka, Sojourner, Eladios. Enterprise Fish Co.. and tonight on her last night in Santa Barbara we're going to Toma which is one of my absolute favorite restaurants here. My dad and I went there when it was called Emilios back in October 2011 and we loved it. Then we went back there last summer and the food was still amazing and the atmosphere is so cozy! I'm really excited to bring my mom there.

Montecito

After a break like this and the knowledge that we only have 8 weeks left in school. it's easy to lose motivation. I try to look at it in the opposite way. There is no better feeling then doing your very best and really work hard and then allow yourself to relax when you are done. These are likely my last 8 weeks ever in school so I might as well enjoy it before I start working full time again! The student life really isn't that bad after all..

Montecito

Have a great week! Welcome back after Spring break!

summer feelings!

Santa Clause beach

Yes, I live in SB and compared to Sweden, this place is basically one long spring, then a long summer. But, now that the weather is so much warmer and you can hang out at the beach every day, have a drink in the sunlight downtown, and walk around in shorts all day, you get so much happier! I feel like a new person, and I am love this city even more when its this warm!

Chimichangas at Casa Blanca

We went to Santa Clause beach in Carpenteria on Saturday and it was beautiful. I loved it. We stayed there until about 3 pm, grabbed a backyard bowl on the way back home and then went DT to meet some people and have a few spritzers. Me and Louise ended by going to Union Ale, then got some food at Casa Blanca, wine at Fig mountain, Cadiz, and then eventually Tonic. It's been a long time since we did something just me and her so it was a lot of fun.

Santa Clause Beach

It is St Patricks Day today but a lot of people celebrated this weekend as well, so there was a big crown DT.

Me, Louise and Jenny went to get breakfast/brunch at El Torito yesterday, a mexican place down my the beach. Their brunch is amazing. I am so in love with their sweet corn pudding (which doesn't sound that appetizing but it's so good) so I had a lot of that, and waffles, another mascarpone filled thing, beef and so on.. That's the fun part about a buffe, there are so many different random things you can eat.
I went down to leadbetter and soaked up some sun after that before I went home and studied for my midterm.

I had the midterm in english 111 this morning and it went great, I felt really good about it so I'm happy about that. Although, I didn't get any sleep at all last night and I must have fallen asleep in a weird angle because my neck is killing me today, but it will pass.

I have a groupon for a massage so I guess there is no better time to use it then now!

Have a great Monday and a good week before Spring Break begins! Mine starts on Thursday at 4 pm.

New eyes.

Picture I took on my morning walk

I have decided to view things with new eyes! It's an expression we use in Sweden when you change your perception of things. That's actually all it takes to turn a bad situation into a better one.
Instead of seeing all the stress in school as a bad thing, I am going to see them as opportunities. I learn so much from every single assignment I get in my classes, so actually I'm blessed not stressed!

Visit The Shop this weekend and order the Tug Boat

This week the summer came to Santa Barbara. I spent 2 days at the beach last weekend and I loved every second of it! I missed it so much and I can't wait to get a great tan. We went to the movies last weekend too, and saw American Hustle. It was nominated for so many Oscars so I was excited to see it, and I didn't get disappointed. On sunday, we went to The Shop again on Milpas and I can't even describe their amazing food, you have to try it if you haven't! I am in heaven every time. I'm bringing my mom there when she gets here.



This weekend will definitely be spent at the beach as well, and a lot of studying need to be done since I have 3 midterms next week. But, on Thursday after work at 4 pm, Spring Break begins!! I am so happy, because I will be able to relax, and go to the beach all day every day for 10 days.

I realized today that I have like 10 weeks left in Santa Barbara, but I am fine with that. I know to 100% that when I leave SB in May, it will not be the last time I see this place. I will probably be back once a year, every summer, so I feel fine moving back to Sweden actually. And if I don't, then I might just go back! It's as simple as that.

Oh, and this weekend were celebrating St Patricks Day on Saturday since we have school on the actual day, March 17th. But we will dress in green and have a drink DT this Saturday instead.

Have a wonderful weekend!
