well, crap.

i said i was going to start blogging about spain today but i forgot and now it’s almost midnight so i am not doing that now. i will do it tomorrow. this time i promise.

today i hung out with my wonderful friend jasmine for the first time in a long time and it was very fun :D we walked around a lot and got mcdonalds and talked a whole bunch ^^

i plan to do stuff like that, meeting up with people and getting out as much as possible for the rest of this summer so as to take advantage of it as much as i can. summer will go by very, very quickly. unfairly quickly.

i don’t have much else to say. i shall blog much better tomorrow.

the final countdown

hello there blog, i am back! how i have missed you.

yesterday was the official day marking the one year countdown of my time left in sweden before we move back. i realize that we've had countdowns for this kind of thing many times but this time we actually ARE leaving. we will not decide to stay at the last second for another year or 6 more months or whatever again. no, seriously. this time we mean it.

haha. no, but seriously, this is it. we really can’t stay any longer than this. so 364 days left, i guess.

i have a goal that i am actually ripping off of my mom, but her doing it too is good because we can keep each other motivated. what i want to do is blog every single day that i have left in sweden. if i have to miss a day here and there because i’m traveling or whatever there’s not much i can do about it, i guess, but the idea is that i blog every day. it will be hard, but i’ll think of it as a daily task and i think i’ll be able to pull through.

my mom is an excellent blogger, and her blog is interesting, so if you’re reading this you should go to her blog as well, and follow it. it’s on the list of blogs i have on the right-hand side of this blog, but anyway here is the link.

i will write about my trip to Spain in two different pieces, starting tomorrow. i just got back a couple nights ago and it was a veeeery fun trip.

but for now, here’s to the beginning of the end.

shopping med min mamma

my mom is awesome. i enjoy doing many things with her, including talking about things for very long periods of time, and being philosophical with her, and then also shopping. shopping with my mom is fabulous because she and i like similar things and know what each other like and know what looks good on each other, like, better than anybody else in the world. so we make very good shopping partners.

we also both really like thrift store shopping, which is nice. but anyway, right now we’re getting ready for the 2-week-long Spain trip we’re leaving for on Tuesday – we’re doing a home exchange thing with some Spanish couple, so they’ll stay in our apartment and we’ll stay in theirs – and it’s taking a lot of work. we have to pack away a lot of the stuff in our apartment so it’s not all cluttery and in the way for them, and we have to clean for them, and we have to go shopping for summer clothes for us. so that’s what my mom and i did today and yesterday, is shopping. i’ve gotten many many of the things i’ve needed including sunglasses, shorts, a denim skirt, and dresses.

dresses, dresses, dresses. my mom and i have been kind of dress-happy lately and really freaking like them right now for some reason. do you know how many cute dresses there are in the world? i didn’t, until recently. today we were at a thrift store we both like for quite a long time, and i found 3 of possibly the cutest dresses in the world. and for that reason, i am happy.

also, i was looking at the cds there just like, hmm these are mostly really crappy Swedish cds but maybe there’ll be something good in here, you never know. might as well look. and then i just happen upon motion city soundtrack’s album commit this to memory, with the wrapping still totally on the cd. for 20 kr. i had a mini-heart attack. and made my mom buy it for me. best cd find in a thrift store EVER. omg.

an afi cd and an angels and airwave cd were in there too but my mom already has both of those, and they’re much less exciting anyway, so yeah.

it’s just so WEIRD XD why would i find THAT cd at a secondhand store in SWEDEN XD

but it’s awesome.

my mom and i have decided that secondhand shopping is a really good solution to the expensiveness issue that Sweden has. my mom for example got a dress for like 60 kr and the tag from the store it was originally bought at was still on it, saying that it was 250 kr or something. it’s much cheaper to do it like this. plus, you can find really unique things that aren’t in H&M and Bik Bok and whatever, and it’s actually really fun to dig through it all, in my opinion.

in other news, tomorrow is my LAST DAY OF SCHOOL <3 this school year was fairly uneventful and it’s really weird that it’s over already, but i’m very happy that i don’t have to deal with going to school for a few months. i plan to take advantage of my last summer in Sweden as much as i possibly can. i’m only gone for two weeks of it which is nice.

anywayyyysss i’ll maybe post pictures after tomorrow <3 byeee ^^

finally.

finally, finally, finally.

the leaves and grass are the same Crayola green. the sky is blue, the clouds are white, birds are singing all the time, and bugs are all over the place. people are wearing sundresses and shorts and sunglasses and tanning out in the amazing sunshine.

THIS is what i’m thinking about when i say i love sweden.

finally.

 

 

 

do it.

what is this you see?

 

what? what’s this? is this freaking good sushi my mom and i ate from samba sushi the other day to celebrate how well a certain someone’s social studies presentation went? why yes, yes it is.

is this my väldigt gullig mamma posing with sushi? why yes, that’s right, it is.

is this me, anticipating my favourite food in the world? yes, sir, that would be correct.

wait, what? my sushi came with a FLOWER? indeed it did!

but i very greatly recommend samba sushi <3 it’s on götgatan across from the slussen exit :D

easter break is over.

i have not been blogging D: i apologize for that.

school starts tomorrow ): this makes me a sad girl. breaks go by so QUICKLY. like, way more quickly than they feel like they will at the beginning of the week. always. and now i have to go back to a crapload of schoolwork and things to stress out over.

):

oh well. school is fun i guess. and it’s getting closer to summer. not that the weather really hints toward summer yet, it hardly even seems like spring unless you compare it to how the winter was. but yeah.

i’ll blog again soon <3
