Thu 27/1
My first day of rest. It was needed!
Fri 28/1 - Today!
Had a good day. Did my first test in maths here and it went well. Now I'm wating for Maggie to come to my house. I don't know the plans for tonight yet, but it sounds like Maggie knew so I just follow her. The only thing I actually know is that Josefin, Elin, Linh och Maggie is coming over to my house soon :D
One more weekend has passed and I'm tired but I've lots of energy left. Charlie, Luke & I had a BIG fight one hour ago. Serious shit - not, but it was real fun! This weekend started at The Office (a pub quite near) to celebrate Izzy's 18th birthday. It felt like 'Sweet 16' or something. There was 200 of us and we had a really good time. Saturday Nicki, Maggie, Luke & I were watching movies the whole day, almost, because we went out at 7 pm to celebrate Sara's 18th birthday. Today I wrote 369 words on my essay. We're suppose to write 700 words about the class system here in England. Quite boring if you ask me, but what can I do, I have to do it. Tomorrow I'm going to London for the first time in my entire life. I'm looking forward to it! Byyyye mates! Hope you still enjoying the cold weather in Sweden! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
19th: At lunchtime we sat outdoors in the sunshine while eating our lunch. It felt like spring. Sorry Swedish friends but I would rather prefer the English weather, than the Swedish. In my lunch-box every day: One sandwish, yoghurt, crisps, chocolate and one (sometimes two) fruits. In the evening I did my bloody homework. 20th: We were sitting outside at lunch time again. We had a double Drama lesson and it was so fun. Nicklas, Max, Johan and I created a robot from Star Wars, although I've never seen Star Wars before in my whole life. I promise you it was a good laugh. Now I'm going to go for a run with Steve, and after that I'm going to sleep because this weekend is full of funny things. Lizzy's and Sara's 18th birthday (the pub 2 days in a row). Sunday=homework. Monday=London!
Since I came to England I've started to love hats of all kinds, and I don't know why :)
I bought this crazy one below.
Suturday night we went out to 3 different pubs with the girls (both English & Swedes). The Office, the sun and Falcon. We had a good time and I was home in time. Yesterday we were at Johns house for cream tea. I liked it a lot while I was eating it but afterwards I felt very sick. Parhaps two scones (with a lot of cream) were too much for me.
I've to sleep now. See you guys, and take care! Hugs <3
Before Maggie and I went to Milton Keynes today Maggie, Karen (Maggies host) and I were singing Billionaire in Maggies kitchen. Karen sang freaking and we sang fucking. Than we heard Charlotte and her friend laughing in the room next to the kitchen. We found out that in "Europe" it's fucking, and in the innocent-opposite-kind England it's freaking instead. They havn't even heard of fucking in that song before. But know they know how it's supposed to be.
Anyway, if you'd like to see some pics from today, go to Maggies blogg. www.alltforekstrom.se
Thursday: We went to a pantomime in the evening. It was splendid! The whole audience were Buuu-ing and shouting and laughing. It's a theater for children, but I enjoyed it just as much as the kids did. The dancers were so good, and they danced bollywood dance with our song "Yai ho!" and almost the same dance as well. It was so cool. I have to take my kids to a pantomime in the future. Maggie and I had fun in the van when we drove home. She said "Thanks for the drive" to Steve. And yeah, the translation for that isn't "Tack for skjutsen". Friday: We went to the pub. It was really fun. We were 30 people from Vandyke and then it was some other people as well. We had a good time! Today: Maggie & I are going to Milton Keynes (the big town). And tonight Elin, Josefin, Linh & Maggie are coming to my house and we'll have a girlie-night. See ya in a bit mates!
Tuesday: I had a lay in (as usuall). We started with an double lesson, The Life In The UK, and we recorded a bit and we learnd how to use the video camera. The next lesson we actually talked Swedish because our Swedish teachers wanted to know if there were any problems with the family matching. It feels really strange talking Swedish by know. In the evening I did half of my English homework and then Steve, Luke, Charlie and I went to the gym 30 minutes away from here. I had a Street Dance lesson while the guys were in the swimingpool. It was fun, and my dance teacher were really good. I haven't liked Street Dance before but now it's okay so I'm going back next Tuesday. When we came home I called Emilie on skype and that was my first skype call ever. Wow! Then mum, dad & Felix called me on skype and my host family chatted as well. It was fun. And Mum, I think you did great, you actually talked English! I have to give you an applause for it. Wheeei! Wednesday: Maggie and I went to school one hour earlier because that's what they do here. I know, it's wierd! So we went to the music room and played the guitar, until the bell rang. I still get an heart attack every time I hear it. Life in the UK: more recordings. English: We introduced each other for our other English teacher. (They have 2 teachers in each subject here). Maths: We had our first meeting with one of our maths teacher and we learned about redians and......... (boring part). Then we had drama. It's so fun and our techer is like all the drama teachers you've seen in movies. Today I acted like the little Mermaid. How lovely isn't that? Tonight I finish my homework (but I got two new homework for Friday today). Then Steve and I went to his running club and I ran 7.2 kilometers. THAT'S FAAAAAR! I'm really proud of myself and I'm also really tired. Good night mates!xxx
This evening we had a chat show at the school. Everyone brought their hosts and they were our audience, while we Swedes were sitting next to our head master one at the time. Steve (my hostdad) shouted "Go Frida" when John (the head master) said my name and it was time for me to get into "the sofa". I said words that doesn't really exist, but everyone laughed so I think they enjoyed it anyway. He asked questions like why I'm here and why I like Boko so much, and it was really embarasing cause he asked why we sleep tight and almost in a pile there (and the answer is just that we don't have enough of space^^). Now I have to sleep. Even though I have a lay in tomorrow. I got my time table today and it looks quite dark, except of the Tuesdays. And that I finishearly at Thursdaysevery other week. And of course my lay ins every day. Start school at 9.15 almost every day so it's just perfect! Okay, I really have to sleep now. The others are already in bed sleeping, so... Hope your all good at home, mates! Hugs <3
Wow, where shall I start. Today it was the first day at school. First Maggie (Magda's got a new name here) and I were walking to school, on the wrong side of the road(!). Then at school we had like a big meeting with the whole school where they welcomed us and told us about what's happening this term. Then we met a lot of new people who showed us around at the school (and you all know my bad sense of directions). I met a girl called Melanie and she was really nice. Then we had our first lesson. English. It was fun, but we got our first homework. We have to write an account (a story out of a text in the newspaper) until Thursday... I don't like it cause who wants to get homework their first day at school? I don't! Then it was a bell who rang and we Sweeds are not used to that so we were like jumping of our seats when we heard it the first time^^ Have to go, Maggie's here!!!
Today we all had a lay in. Then Steve, Luke & I went out for a run. I think it was about 4 kilometres. It was a good run! I havn't run since November or maybe October. We watched Charlies football match, and we ate sandwitches in the car in the car park. The score was a draw, 1-1. It was a good match, but it was a bit cold. About 4 degres. haha. Now I'm sitting on the sofa watching Midsummer Murder without subtitles, it's a bit strange actually. I've even learned how to use the washing machine and the tumble drier. But I havn't used it yet. Hihi. Now they've swiched the programme to the first Home Alone (Ensam hemma). I shall eat soon. But everything goes on well here so don't worry about me. Have a nice evening mates! HUGS! <3
Okay, I'm in England now, sitting with my hostfamily in front of the fireplace. It's really cossy! I had a wounderful flight over, but the plane was a bit delayed. Tomorrow I'm going to learn the way to my school and after that I'm going to watch Charlies footballmatch. Hope I bring some luck! And I'm also going to see how Magda's living. It's wounderful here and they're so nice. Hugs <3
Idag har det varit en ganska lugn dag fastän min mage inte riktigt tycker detsamma. I morse var mor & jag ute och promenerade i solljuset i vackra Viken. Därefter kom Rebecca och hälsade på. Vi packade om mitt handbagage och sedan vägde vi den. 8,9 kg fick vi det till, vilket är lagom eftersom maxvikten på handbagaget är 10 kg. Resväskan däremot är väl paketerad och det märkte vi när vi ställde den på vågen. Hela 20 kg vägde den och den får max väga 20 kg. Kanon helt enkelt! Familjen Forsberg kom sedan förbi och tog en fika och sa hej då. Många pussar & kramar blev det. Sedan kom mormor & morfar hit och då blev det fika igen. Jag ringde till Emilie för att säga hej då. Sedan gick Beccis, men innan det kramades vi länge. Efter mycket prat vid köksbordet gick även mormor & morfar hemåt. Många pussar & kramar blev det även där. Mor & jag var nyss iväg för att inhandla de sista sakerna på packlistan så nu hoppas jag att allt är under kontroll.
Innan jag lägger mig ska jag se på Let's dance och sedan ska jag väga väskorna en gång till för säkerhetsskull. Man vet ju aldrig om det har samlats lite damm på väskan under dagen så den har ökat något hekto.
I morgon åker jag hemifrån kl 8. Alltså om 12 & en halv timme. Jag ska njuta av varje sekund i England. Nästa gång jag uppdaterar bloggen är det från England.
Puss & Kram till alla som jag inte har hunnit pussa & krama på idag! <3
Jag studsar av glädje!!! Varför får man en sådan kick av att prata med en engelsman på telefon? Shiiiiiiit, min värdmamma är bara för go. Hon är så obeskrivligt snäll att jag inte ens tänker försöka förklara hur hon är. Mammis och jag har bakat morotskaka idag och vi ska äta den snart. Grejen är bara den att jag kommer inte få i mig en endaste bit. Jag är alldeles för spänd. Hela kroppen krampar. Wow, vilken känsla! Vill inte att den ska dö. Packningen är nästan färdig. Eller, allt är i allafall framtaget. Förresten, min värdmamma sa att jag behövde vinterjackan för januari & februari är de kallaste månaderna i England. Kängorna får också följa med. Huuuuu, nu är jag nervös på riktigt! Eller förväntansfull. Jag vet knappt skillnaden. Ha det bäst allihopa. Snart drar jag. Nu är det bara 3 & en halv dag kvar!!!
Jag är en nöjd, glad & sprallig tutta som älskar att ha kul. Jag har alltid överflödigt med överskottsenergi och en del av mitt liv går ut på att försöka göra av med så mycket energi som möjligt genom att göra roliga saker. Jag ser hela livet som ett äventyr!
