So school started Wednesday at it was pretty awesome! I really liked my classes except for the math pre-calc and U.S history they are hard! Everyone is nice and There is always someone to talk to, not that you have time for that because you only have 2 minutes between every class! Hahah. The school is so so small, i see like everyone in the school a couple of times a day! haha. Choir is really cool we haven't really singed anything but the teacher is really cool, so youthfully like she is awesome! lol. Our woods teacher is really chill, just this day he was like sitting at the chair with his legs on the table and saying "Well I'm just gonna wright it on the whiteboard and show what I mean, and then he is like WOW this totally looks like an mountain and hey this is me skiing its funny because i don't know how to ski! haha flippad, thought about whether he was high or not! hehe!
Practice today was CRAZY!!! We usually take it chill the day before the game so we had no football pants! Haha it has rained so much here, like 4 days in a row and it has like rained about 8 inches! So the field was like insanely wet, everyone in the team was sliding on the water/Grass it was so FUN! And there was this place just by the field that had like water up to the waist so we like runned and jumped right in it, it was like totally insane! But after a while i starting to feel really cold, well i think it was worth it! :) haha!
Game day tomorrow, and I will probably don't do any Pat's this time because this other guy that can kick better than me is present at this game! He was at his grandpas wedding last time!! So that sucks but in time i will probably start kicking full time! This game is 2 hours away so it not so fun :P
At every game day we have to where our game shirt and a par of jeans to school! Haha not really my style but its kinda fun and sweet! :P
Our basement is so flooded it is like one inch down there and it smells so bad! :P haha just wanted you guys to know! Talk to you later!

Smashing Babe!
So I didn't really know what the title of this post should be called so i just took a line from Austin powers! That may seem a little random but i will explain! So yesterday i was at the theater watching The Inglorious Bastards and Mike Myers had a role in the movie and that reminded me about Austin Powers! Anyway the movie was awesome, the director of the movie is Quentin Tarantino.. who else would create an insane movie like this! Hahah. No seriously i strongly recommend all of you to go see it! I went there with two people from my class, they're nice!
I went to my first party in USA last Saturday it was kinda cool! We like partied in a barn! Haha so not just first party i USA but the first party in a barn too! I went there with my host brother Kyle and his girlfriend Becca! They are so cool!
And at Sunday I was at a bonfire! It was pretty cool i couldn't be there for a long time cause it started like 7 and i came there 9.30, and the whole thing ended at like 1 am! But it was cool there was a lot of cool people there! And i met the other exchange student from our school there! It was awesome because she is from Norway so we like spoke our own languages I talked Swedish and she talked Norwegian! It was soooo cool! She will be in my class this year! I met a lot of people that are going to be in my class! And i met this girl from California she was sweet and nice!
So kyle left to Collage last Sunday so it will be a little lonely here at the house but it will be fine! He will come back at weekends but not every weekend! I will probably go stay at the campus some weekends and like have fun and stuff!
So school starts tomorrow and I'm so PSYCHED! It's gonna be so cool! The only bad thing about it is that I have to do wight lifting at the morning with the football team! Weight lifting is like going to the gym! We have to do weight lifting like 2-3 days a week! So there is a lot of practice during football season! But it is fun i like it! Everybody here is like NOOO i don't want to go to school and i am like WHAT school is gonna be awesome! haha! It's gonna be cool meeting all the people and teachers and do the classes I'm so looking forward to it!
I'm adding some pictures because i just got the cardreader so I can but my pictures on the computer!
I want to congratulate my mother on here birthday! Love you!

PAT's!
My first American football game did pretty well!
It was a long day yesterday and it was all about football! I went up about 12 am to eat some breakfast, practice some kickoffs in the yard! Then it was time to go to school and take the school bus to the game who left about 2. 15 pm! It took like 2 1/2 hour to get there so it was kinda lame! The game start was at 7 pm so we had a quite a time a the field to chill and practice! Anyway I didn't get to do the first kickoff because my kickoffs was not that good in the practice so this other guy Drake got to do the first kickoff and i did the second and so on! But my kickoff was so good so I got to do all of the remaining kickoffs that was pretty SWEET! So our team did a couple of Pat's = Points after touchdown. I got to do all the Pat's because I'm the best in our team at that! Anyway I was kinda nervous or something so I missed some Pat's in the beginning but after about 2 tries I started to score some points! I did 3 of them and the coaches were really satisfied with me! We won BIG i cant remember the score but we OWNED them so hard!

To bad that I didn't get to do any field goals that would be pretty sweet! For you that doesn't understand the difference between a PAT and a Field goal, a PAT is the thing you do after a touchdown, you get one point for that! A field goal is usually done when you have done your fourth down then you kick a field goal and if you make that shoot you get 3 points!
I will do even better the next game because I have only kicked Pat's one day before the game! Now i have a week to prepare myself for the next game! So wish me luck!

Football and charity!
Hey guys I'm doing an update conserning my day as an charity worker and as one of the best kickers in our team! Probably the best but i dont know :P haha!
So Georgeanne (my host-mom) had me signed up to doing a thing called habitat for humanity! Me, kyle and georgeanne were helping building houses today for the people who lost their houses in the flood last summer! But we didn't actually do that much, we but in door locks and painted! But still its for a good cause!
The charity thing took about 4 hours so i was late for my football practice but it was cool with the coach! So i didn't do that much but kicking the ball, which turned out to be my thing! It was kinda fun, so I will probably do the kickoff at the first game of the year tomorrow! Its gonna be freaking AWESOME! And I will play for the varsity team that means the best team that they have! It will be cooL!
So kyle bought a laptop today and he is kinda psyched! Anyway he wanted me to write that lol! But i get it if you guys dont care, because i dont! :P
Wish me luck for the game tomorrow! Cya!

Hectic days!
So these last couple of days have been kinda stressed out! But it would feel weard if i came here and had nothing to do so I like it, and I'm that person that like to do things!
So the football practice started at monday, and there are usually practice for times a week and one game! We started up pretty slow with just lifting some weights and looking at last years game against the team that we will meet at friday. I couldn't practice yesterday because i was at he airport saying goodbyw to the former exchange student Patrick. So the first real practice was today but i didn't really get to do anything because i don't get to use my shoulderpads because of some law or something like that! Its really weard! And the coach canceled the outdoor practice right in the middle of it because he thought he heard thunder! That was really gay! So I will probably get to practice for real at the beginning of next week!
I met some cool people at the football practice so they asked me if i wanted to hang with them! It was kinda cool, we just hanged out and was having a great time laughing and stuff! So im going to their bonfire at sunday, it will be fun!
After the practice today I choose my classes, they are; Photo, pottery, choir, pre-calculate, chemistry, english, woods, physical education, government, american history and speech. I think it will be a good mix of different classes, so I'm pretty satisfied.
So they have this AWSOME store neare where we live you can like buy evreything you could possibly want there, it's called Wallmart! I bought a pair of shoos, a wallet, twinkeys, chips, locks for my locker. Well they have a lot more stuff than that so it's pretty cool! The shoos was pretty cool, I'm adding a picture so you can see them, they did only cost 7 dollars = 49 kronor!
It seems like Kyles cat billie joe seems to like em! Or he's just curious! Billie joe is SOO fat and he is SOO stupid, he is kinda funny! :)

The brother Kyle is gonna teach me a little about playing the guitar, have a feeling that I will ROCK! Well maybe not we will see about that! Ttyl = Talk to you later! Haha
