America Fuck yeah!

Hmm what have I've been doing since the last blogpost... well pretty much hanging with my family and friends as much as possible, before i leave home, in about 30 hours. :/ Well i've also spent A LOT of time on... scrapbooking lol I'm making a scrapbook for Georgeanne containing all my blogposts and pictures and stuff :)

Had a freaking fantastic day yesterday, started it out by going to Amandas Aunts pool, for u who didn't know... Amanda is Kyles Girlfriend :) Anyway Kyle, Amanda, Jessica and Me went there for a couple of hours and just chilled and took it easy. Then Kyle and I went home and got ready to go to the mall. We went to the Iowa City mall which is way better than the one in CR. Bought a pair of shorts, a tanktop and a awesome dressshirt with a hoodie :) , haven't shopped in a long time so i thought i deserved it ;) lol.

I was having my second goodbye party that night too and it started at 9 and we all got home at like 8.45 haha but we had time to prepare stuff ;) This party wasn't like the other one, this was a party party, a real party :D All of my friends that party couldn't come because they were in trouble with parents and school sports. Me and my closest friends all bought Cigars like the fat once so we could "celebrate" my year here and our friendship! :) Anyway, so the party pretty much kicked ass, we played beerpong, drinking game cirlce of death, basketball, dancing, and just hanging out. Oh yeah so i've been drawing this tattoo for quite a while now that i think that I want and I asked if Spencer could draw it on me so i can see how it will look. And it looked freaking awesome :) :)

The party went awesome and I had a blast and I think everyone else did too ;) It sucked to say goodbye to some of the people though, cause i won't see them again before i leave! :(

Went to the beach today with Kyle, Amanda, Spencer, Noel, Collin Baker, Carly Martin and Allison. It was so awesome, i just love the beach and the water. It was fun we brought a frisbee that we threw around and played some volleyball. It was a god time :) :) Then Noel took me home. Then Kyle, George and I went to a restaurant not far from us, it was a really cool place and they were super nice ther, and the food was great too! My meal wasn't that good but Kyles and Geroges looked AWESOME! :D

Last day in America tmrw :( I'll write a blogpost and tell u all about it and my experience here in the US. AMERICA FUCK YEAH!

Funny shit!

I've done some fun stuff this weekend i mean i always do but there was one moment that was extra fun lol.

Well Monday we had a party at our house, about 20 people so nothing mayor but still, it was a good night, and morning lol. ;) It was mostly Kyle's friends here but I had some of my friends over as well. The my second going away party is Saturday and then more of my friends will come! It's going to be awesome!

So Tuesday I hung out with Noel and Tanner during the day and then we went to buffalo wild wings to eat some of their awesome honey BBQ wings! I had 24 of them, which is a LOT! But it taste so good so i couldn't resist it lol. It cost me $ 22!!! Oh well it was worth it. Hmm wonder how many calories that is... probably like 1500 or something but i don't care, cause I'm American and we don't care about that kind of stuff lol ;)

Noel had to go home after that so Tanner and I called Spencer and Shaun and asked if they wanted hang out with us. So we all went to Tanner's house in Springville and decided that we wanted to "find" some road signs to remember each other from. The plan was to "find" a sign that u liked and thought was funny and then we all would write something on the back of it, to remember the night and each other! :) So we went out when it was pitch dark so that no one would see us doing anything. I found a sign that said 4-way which i thought was funny so I picked that one up from the ground where i found it. We found some other signs too but i won't talk to much about them. Anyway haha it was an awesome night and when we decided that the storm was getting really bad we decided to all go home lol.

Went to a Katie Wyman's pool yesterday with a bunch of other people and we had a great time! :) It was, Me, Brennan, Katie, Karlee, Nathaniel, Abbie, Joel, Maggie and Cj. We spend most of the day there until we decided that we REALLY needed some food so we went in town and got Arby's :) Mmmm soooo goood! Then Nathaniel and I went to the baseball game for a little while. It felt SUPER good not being in Baseball anymore haha, and I'm so happy i decided not to do it anymore! :) It was fun to hang out with the baseball guys in between games and catch up! I don't get to see them as often since i quit. Oh well :) So overall I had an awesome day and an awesome week.

Trying to take one day at a time now... 4 of them left.

Time flies when you're having fun!

Counting today, I have 10 days left in America. :'( I try not to think about it but there is no escape everything reminds me of it. Like I've said before.. it's bittersweet! Oh well I'm not gonna bitch about sad stuff, cause to be honest I'm as usual having the time of my life! So that's what Ima talk about :)

So it's been a good week, the weather could've been better, much better! It's been raining most of the week and I'm PISSED! Oh well we've had a couple of days with sun so that's sweet. On those rare days that we've had sun I've been trying to do as much fun stuff as possible. Wednesday was one of those days, we went to Lost Island with some people, a water park. Kyle, Amanda, Travis, Travis Girlfriend Jenna, Jessy, Emily and I went early in the morning so that we would get our moneys worth, and so we did! :) It was awesome and we went on all kinds of slides, a funnel, a rolercoaster/slide, a 5 people slide etc, we also chilled in the sun a lot so now I have an sweet tan :) :) There was this one slide that was very steep so it went pretty fast, and like to go fast so, ofc i liked it. Anyway but every time I went down it made red marks in my white swimtrunks so it made it look like I had a period coming from my ass lol and it got worse every time i did haha! oh well. Anyway it was a great time! :)

Oh yeah and I decided that I didn't want to play Baseball anymore so I told coach that this would be my last day of baseball because I want to enjoy my summer here with my family and friends. He got pissed for some reason, I don't know why but he just said, oh so you're quitting, NOW? And then he just walked away, very immature and I was surprised. Oh well. I don't want to spend my last time in America doing something I don't LOVE, so... fuck it lol Ima enjoy my summer as much as possible :)

We went to a bridge yesterday so we could jump off it and swim but the river was flooded and very streemy so we couldn't, and the seconds after it started to rain like cats and dogs or whatever, and lightning and shit, so we just went to buy some smoothies and then me and Nathaniel went to my place and chilled. But it didn't matter, the weather was awesome today so we went today instead and I had an awesome time with Kyle, April, Carly Martin my new official friend (facebook) lol, Cody, Taylor and Sarah came later :) It was sooooooo relaxing and I really needed a day at the beach. I love water so i kept swimming all the time but the others wanted to tan lol i swam anyway :) But before I went to the beach George and I went to the "Farmers Market" to try to find host families with my organization. It was alright i guess, met this girl, Sydney, she was really cool! :) She had been an exchange student in Germany for 3 months, so that's pretty awesome rarely here someone doing something like that!

George got another tattoo today!!!! :D She had a guy tattoo 5 stars on her foot and in every star she had her sons initials in it, K for Kyle, P for Patrick, E for Eren, L for Leo and D for me... Daniel :)

Goodbye Party!!!

Had my goodbye/going away/grad party yesterday, and it was freaking awesome and I had a really good time with my friends and family :)

The party was from 5 to whenever the party died and people left around 2 so it was a good party! The Facebook event said that I had about 53 confirmed people that were coming so that's pretty sweet, but im pretty sure that I had more than 53 people coming. Everyone didn't stay all the way to the end and some people came early left pretty soon and some people came later. Anyway pretty much all my friends came so that was awesome and I had a really good time! :) People were playing volleyball, basketball, soccer, just chilling and hanging out and ofc eating! lol :) The food George made was awesome and all of it was gone in the end of the night. I guess that's going to happen when you're in America lol

I leave in two weeks from now so i got some time left, but some of the people that came i knew that i wasn't going to see them again, which was really freaking sad!! :( But I will meet most of the people that came and most of my friends again, so that makes me feel better about it!

Sarah Ellegard, the Norwegian exchange student from Springville is leaving Saturday and wasn't going to have a goodbye party. But I told her that she has to have a goodbye party for all of her friends I mean leaving without having a real goodbye with all of your friends is not a choice! It has to happen! So Sarah is having her party tmrw :)

Anyway, so Devin, Andy, Brayden and Nathaniel were the people that left last. Well nathaniel and Brayden and I were going to a party but it got canceled so we went back to my house and made a fire. We just chilled and talked to 5 in the morning the they stayed the night. It was a good way to end the party and the day.! :)

Swimming!

Today was an another awesome day!! But this day was extra awesome because I went swimming with my friends! :) I had so much fun!

So I was suppose to have a baseball practice in the morning but i overslept and didn't have a ride to drop me off lol. The plan was to go after baseball but i just got picked up from my home, met with the people at school and then we headed off to Lake Mcbride :D We all rode in Hope's car, Patrick, Hannah, Sydney, Hope and I :) I mean just the ride there was fun, just messing around and dancing and singing to the music!

We got there and someone said that we might have to pay to get in, but Hope, Patrick and Me all forgot out wallets, haha and Hope forgot her driving license and she was the one driving lol. Anyway luckely we didn't have to pay! pfheww! ;) We got down to the beach and the first thing we did was throw ourselves in the water!!! Or at least I did the other's were being wimpy about it lol ;) But I still think they're awesome!! We played football, frispee, volleyball, wrestling, splashing water and just had fun in the water, well and ofc... Swimming :) I love swimming and I LOVE water!! It's the best, and I was soo excited for going to the beach cause I haven't all summer, but we're gonna keep doing it as much as possible. Oh yeah we also burried Sydney in sand and yeah u can c lol

We all got way tanned, especially hannah haha! She was in a car accident so she has a casque on her arm so she couldn't really swim, so she tanned more than the rest of us, and fell asleep tanning so when she woke up she had a burn from her shades and it looked awesome haha! :) P-ray also burned... well ofc he did he's a ginger lol jk ;)

Went to the softball game later for a while and then I went home to prepare for my goodbye party tmrw! It's going to be awesome!! :) Anyway I had an awesome day and I hope to have more days like these soon. :) <3

Summer and baseball!!

So this summer has been real busy, not much time to chill and relax because I have been playing baseball every day except sundays! It's fun but it takes up so much fucking time so I don't know if i wanna go through with it. Idk if I want to spend my last time in US on something that I don't LOVE doing, but so far I'm doing it so we'll see how it goes lol.

So before I went out for baseball i thought that it would be so easy and that everyone can do it! BUT NOOO, it's really hard actually. I think we think that it's a simple sport to master just because the pro baseball leagues makes it look so easy!

People have told me that I'm like really good at baseball for never playing it before, so that's sweet! My favorite part of baseball is batting and base running, plating outfield sucks!!! You do nothing during a game except at like one time when there is a fly ball coming your way and you're suppose to catch it... i don't usually during the game lol is suck :P But like I said I'm pretty good at batting, I almost hit a homerun, it hit the fence and I almost had a "in the park" homerun, that means that you get to homebase when the ball is still in the field. I made it home but the ref called me out because he didn't see me touch second base! Bullshit is what i call it lol!

Anyway, enough with baseball, it's not the only thing i've been up to this summer! I have been hanging with my friends a lot, usually after baseball if I have the energy to do it. lol. I have also gone to some parties that have been pretty kick ass! And like I said earlier, Patrick has been here for about 2 weeks, although he left yesterday, so i've been hanging with Patrick, Kyle and George too. I haven't goon swimming yet!!!! :'( except for the time in Sam's pawn but not like for real swimming. So I'm doing that tmrw with some people after practice!! :) :) :)

So going home in about 19 days :( :( :( :'( It feels really weird to be excited about seeing my family and friends at home but at the same time be really sad about leaving my family and friends here! :( oh well life goes on!! :)

Graduation! :)

I've been a High School graduate for one week now, because i graduated Sunday last week!!! :) Was gonna write about it sooner but I didn't really have time.

So I didn't really graduate like everyone else, I mean I only did school here for one year. My Certificate of Achievement said "This certifies that Daniel Wollin has completed the basic requirements as an exchange student at Springville High School bla bla bla lol.

Graduation was fun!!! :) We all gathered so we knew that everyone was there, It's not that hard to count i mean we were only like 30 people graduating from Springville compared to like bigger schools that has maybe 500 graduates or more. Then we put our stupid caps ad gouns on, I bet they were like... Alright what's the stupidest had we can make for this. Oh yeah lets put a square on our heads! lol. Anyway then we walked in the Graduation hall and got or diplomas and scollarchips were given and all that. Lastly we just talked to everyone and everyone was saying good job and shit to the graduates. It was a pretty good time! xD

My friend Dan Loney's mom gave me an American Lay and a American flag lol it was pretty sweet! :P

I'm miss everyone at school and I kinda miss school actually, the social part not the study and all the fucking homework! ;) I was real sad during graduation, it was the last time I would see all the seniors in the same place. I mean i will obviously meet most of them again but still... it's sad. It felt like it was the end of my stay here to, i mean I have less than a month left in America, it's bittersweet. I will miss everything here and my awesome american family, all my kickass friends that i've made here, the culture, i mean i will miss everything, except all the fat people lol jk. But it will also be totally awesome to go back to Sweden to meet and hug my family again, and see my friends again and a lot more. Oh well i have a month left and I'm gonna do the best of it and live life!! :)

Remember, Love Life and Life will Love you back! ;)

Senior class trip!!!!! :D

Had the senior class trip last Wednesday and it was freaking crazy fun! :) We left for six flags, Chicago at around 4, so we were all pretty tired. But after a while we all got going and superexcited. We made sure to be create "cool" people bus, where most of the cool people would be on ;) It was Tanner, Spencer, Noel, Jordan, Maggie, Shaun, Jaeger, Cameron and I and we had a blast in the bus! We started a food fight with the other vans, we opened the back door at the red light and started to through doughnuts at them, but when that wasn't enough Jordan, Spencer and I went out of the car and smeared cinnamon roles at the vans and through them in to the vans haha it was an awesome way to start the trip!

The food fight, Spencer, Jordan and I.

The guys going to the trip!

We got to the hotel and dropped our stuff in our rooms, I shared rooms with Spencer, Tanner, Jordan, Noel and Shaun. Then went to the amusement park Six Flags!!! :D They had a LOT of cool rides, it's not like the lame parks we have in Sweden, these were AWESOME! We bought a "Flash pass", so we didn't have to wait in the lines as long :) It was sweet haha walking passed all the other people that had been waiting for the rides about 45 min and we waited for about 5 min xD We rode all the cool rides, Superman, Raging Bull, Batman, V2 and a lot more! They we're all mind blowing! :)

Me being excited about the first ride of the day, Superman!

I don't know who this guy is but we're posing with him lol

As usual, we're wondering wtf April is doing haha ;)

Striking some bitching poses!!

We got back at the Hotel at around 6 and spent the rest of the day at the swimming place at the hotel, it had like slides and stuff. So that was pretty awesome, then we went to eat dinner at some burgerplace and it was pretty awesome, hadn't eaten for about 14 hours so I was STARVIN!! After dinner Jordan, Tanner, Spencer, Karlee, April and I went to the hot tub for 15 min before it closed, it felt SOOOO good! :D We were suppose to be sound asleep in our rooms at 11, but our chaperons kicked ass and was kinds chill about it. So Spencer, Jordan, Tanner and I stayed up to 4, and just messed around with people, we shaved Shaun's legs, made Jaeger believe he pissed himself and put shaving cream on people's faces :) haha it was a good night. Spencer and Me went across the hallway totally butt naked wearing nothing at all haha it was awesome!

Jordan and Tanner Peeing, Obviously!

May the force be with my ass!

Dirty!!! :)

Some of the guys had to leave earlier Thursday because we had our first Baseball game! We lost by a LOT but i played some varsity and scored! :) I love hitting and base hitting but outfield sucks!!! Anyway the class trip was freaking awesome, and I had a ton of fun! :)
