Had a basketball game friday that didn't go that well but oh well it was fine! After the game i went to a party with 2 siblings, allyson and andrew. It was pretty awesome!

Saturday started off with another basketball game and we lost again... It kinda sucks we haven't won one Varsity nor JV game. After that i went to the mall with noel and met some of his friends it was pretty sweet and i finished buying all my xmas giftsAfter the game i went to Maggie's house with about 10 other people, we were hot tubing outside and rolled in the snow haha it was awesome! The hot tub was made for 6 and we were 11 people in it so it was REALLY full. After that we went inside and watched The Hangover. It was hilarious haha i mean it was really awesome, probably top among top 10 comedy! After that i hung out with Kyle and Becca at a party!

Sunday was pretty sweet, Noel invited me to a smaller concert it was awesome music and a lot of cool people! I had a really good time!

Yesterday was awesome! We won our first JV game and it was against The rival school Central City and it was awesome! And i did my first points, i made 2 layups = 4 points :) It was an awesome feeling!

Elementry and Choir concert


The 17th of December was a GOOD day!

I went to the elementry school today with the other exchange students in our school. The other two are from Norway and Georgia (not from the US), Sara and Ilia. We got asked if we wanted to talk to two 5th grade classes about our home countries and our culture and stuff. I talked to them about where Sweden is on the map, and asked if they knew where it is. Talked about the Traditions we have, about Midsommar, Kraftskivor och Lucia and about the most popular sports we have and some other stuff! It was really fun and they really had a lot of questions so it was awesome! :)

Then I had basketball practice that was as usual awesome!

After the practice we had the Choir Holiday Concert. It was awesome and it went well for me. We had one kid that kinda screwed up but its fine he is all good! And i kinda figured out how much fun you can have with the robes that we wear! Haha it was awesome just goofing around before the singing part.


Going to wrap Kyles xmas gifts now! Talk to you guys later and hope that you enjoy life as much as i do! Puss o kram

Hey!

Had a good weekend! Had a Bball game friday and saturday but we lost both. Slept over at a Noel's house friday. At Sunday George and i went to the mall and bought some Christmas gifts and gave my secong x-box 360 back because it was something wrong with it..

Had a game today to and for the first time the JV team actually did pretty good and I was SOOO close to get my first point!! But I have a feeling that the first Victory and my first points will come next game!

Its about like 4- Fahrenheit outside and its freaking FREEZING! 4- Fahrenheit is about 20- Celcius!

Christmas in 10 days and The B-day in 11 I can't wait its going to be awesome! :) I love Christmas and for the first time in a long time I'm celebrating Christmas with a lot of snow!

Snow days!

So we haven't had a full day of school this week and its been pretty sweet!
Monday and Tuesday were halfdays and wednesday and Thursday were totally gone from school! I'm sure you wonder why... well we have had like 12 inches of snow and 50 mph winds so we pretty much got snowed in because we live in the country and the plow cars doesn't get here as fast!

This is what I did the first snow day!



I spent Thursday at Dana's house we were just chilling! And when i got home i wrote my Psychology paper and then I booked my trip to Hawaii!! :) HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!!? XD

Tomorrow school and then weekend! I will hopefully do some sledding :)
