One thing I thought I would never get sick of is the snow. I was wrong. I am now done with the snow and am quite looking forward to it melting away into some giant puddles that I can jump into!
Spring is on its way though. The last few days I have woken up to hear birds singing in the trees outside! I mean birds singing has never been this exciting to me! It is also getting a lot lighter at night. It doesn't get dark till about 5.30! It is an improvement from 3 that is for sure. And it is even getting a tiny bit warmer! Yet this week I am away doing the most Wintery type sport ever, skiing! This time I hope not to end up on crutches though. So far so good. Although ski lifts seem to hate me. I fell off the same lift three times. But on the more positive side I only face planted once in front of a group of guys! Also I think ice on the slopes follows me from ski field to ski field. Today there was so much ice I was going as slow as sloth down one slope so I wouldn't making snow angles in the middle of the run!
One thing with snow though is that it can make life really fun! Like having snowball fights with your friends or rolling around in it after being in the sauna and then getting back in the sauna! Snowball fights have taken on a whole new level of fun here. One because you never run out of snow and two because who doesn't want a face full of snow and ice!
It is also rather funny when you jump into snow thinking it won't be that deep and you need up being waist down in snow!
Other than playing in the snow and skiing I have also been going to school strangely enough! My new subjects are going well but the homework and tests are mostly way to hard!! I had a philosophy test the other day and could not understand what the sheet was asking me to write about. I think this is partly because I have never been given a book in this class and the teacher also goes off topic a lot, like I mean he starts talking about whales or something and by god is that confusing! So I just wrote that I didn't understand and may I please have a book. My teacher came up to me after the test and was like "you didn't understand that did you?" And then he said "maybe I should give you a book." That was two weeks ago and I still haven't got that book!! In drama I am in a play and I am modeling a t-shirt in it! I also have one line which I have to try remember and right now I can't quite do that! I also had a Swedish test the other day! That was fun apart from the fact that I bet half of it is wrong or just sounds silly! Then while I and most of the school was having lunch a clock came on the big screen my school has in the lunch space with a sign at the bottom saying be here at 12.00. I had no idea why but stayed there anyway. Then the Harlem Shake song came on and one person stood up and started doing the Harlem Shake and then so many people (teachers) came out from no where and joined in! It was probably the best part of the day or even the best part of being at this school yet!! Mind you I think another one of the best things that happens at school and also happens a lot more often than teachers dancing (although that has happened twice now) is when we get to watch a movie in class and the movie is in English! It is so wonderful! It has given getting to watch movies in class a whole new level of greatness!
One thing that has been quite hard lately is seeing everyone back home going off to university and things and it is making me wish in someways that I could be starting university now to and be joining in with all of the fun and not still be in high school! But I chose to go to Sweden over going to university with everyone else and I am happy with that choice hugely! But it still is strange to see. Like when I Skyped my parents in summer time and I could see the bright lovely warm sunshine outside and they were eating raspberries in front of me. That was also hard to see.
I can't really think of anything else that would be exciting to read about right now so I will leave it here.
Wait one last thing while typing this I have been eating my first really tasty apple in Sweden!
