Ahhhhh chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with silk chocolate soymilk!
It's goooooood.

Nothing special happened at school today.
People are already talking about getting dresses for homecoming.
I don't know when it is though.
I wanna go but not by myself.. I might ask germanboy and germangirl if I can go with them.
I'm gonna buy the prettiest dress everrrrrrrr.
Or wait no I'm not. The prettiest dress ever is for prom!

Just have to mention something I found hilarious:
They have growth-hormones in their milk.
LOL
Seriously, why do they have that?!
Anyways, it seems to help because the boys are Gigantor.
Don't think the girls drink any milk though.
I used to think I was short.


I Pledge Alligeance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic
for which it stands,
one Nation, under God,
Indivisible, with Liberty and
Justice for all.

Woke up at 8 to go to church. (Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)
Talked to some of Taylors youth group-friends, they're pretty nice.
Then a guy preached for us and I was just like omg.
Their opinions and beliefs are sooooo different from mine.
They believe in loving every person.
They believe that homosexuality and masturbation is wrong.
They honestly believe that god created everything.

Back home Taylor and I had a belief-talk,
I told her that I believe in facts and that it's proven that we've actually been cave-men.
She thought it was sad and that she hopes I find god and go to heaven.
I don't wanna find god.

Then we had some guests over for dinner,
Taylors friend Kirk came and he's funny.
We watched a superboring movie.

Mom called today too!
I just love talking to people from Sweden because I can't express myself in the same way in english and I can't complain about stuff which I normally do every single day.  I seriously need a friend that I can gossip with and talk trash with about other people! I don't believe in heaven so I'm allowed to!

Chores-day!
I slept til 11 and it felt goooooooood.
Then I cleaned my room, cleaned the stalls and did my own laundry for the first time ever!
Be a little proud of me at least!

Later that day we went to Nathans hockeygame.
His team got beat baaaaaad. 1-7.
Nathan got hurt though so we went home halfway into the game.
Did some groceryshopping on our way home.
I just looooooove the grocerystores! There are so many different things!
I could walk around there for hours.

Grant called on our way home and said that Apache and Jack had got out,
he'd found Apache but Jack was still missing in action.
(how typical that the horse that's missing in the dark is black huh?)
He found him before we got home though.

Well, second day did not go as smooth as the first one.
I'd forgot to ask Natalie to sign some papers for class and stuff,
was totally confused in class,
had no one to sit with at lunch.

I don't think I've ever felt as alone as I did today.

Had to go to the bathroom a couple of minutes to avoid humiliating myself by bursting into tears infront of all the seniors, who I'm trying to be friends with.

I felt like the guy in the Friends-commercial and a Hey truly means a lot.
When I got on the bus after school, Taylors neighbor said Hi to me and smiled.
He is truly a cutie!
I think he's a freshman and may have some mental disorder but still!
He's going to be my friend. Why? Because I say so.

Okay, first day at school today!
I got up at five after countless hours of nonsleeping.
Went to the bus at 6.30. (the schoolbuses really look like the ones in movies!)
Had a bumpy ride to school, met my counselour, got my id-photo taken and then came late to class.

First up, World Literature:
I love Gunnar right now. Thanks to all the long boring Swedish-hours I think I can actually get through this class pretty easy! We are supposed to go through Dante, The Song Of Roland and sooooo many other books he's told us about a thousand times! If any of you INT-people reads this then please tell Gunnar that I'm glad he taught us that. That will make him happy fer sure!

Second, American History:
Since America pretty much doesn't have any history I think this one is going to be easy. 

Third, Jewelry and Metals:
The teacher told us that as long as you do what you're supposed to do you get an A. That should be a piece of cake.

Fourth, Psychology:
We got to do a personality-test and I found mine to be quite precise, it said that I like facts (which is true).
Some girls in that class bugged me though. They were loud and not respectful at all. We learnt that couples that are similar are more likely to stay in a long-time relationship. Woho!

Fifth, Family Living: 
The teacher is probably the most superdupermegapositive teacher I've ever had. We're basically supposed to learn about families, relationships and problems you may have when you start a family. We're also going to do a mock wedding. Don't know for sure what that is but still. One of the annoying girls from the previous class was in this one too.. And now they were six.

Sixth, Concert choir:
This is supposed to be a freshman-class but I wanted it anyway. The freshmans pretty much look like the seniors anyhow. We did a namegame and some of them found out I'm from Sweden and they went crazy! All the girls rounded up around me and forced me to speak swedish for them. Freshmans may look like seniors but they sure don't act like them.

I even had some people to sit with at lunch! Someone from my first class told me I could sit with them so I did.
They started talking about how band camp was this summer and I could barely keep myself from laughing out loud!
I mean band camp? Could it be more american high schooly?

Now I'll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings me.

Caught myself counting in english today. I'm also having trouble going back to speaking swedish.
No, I'm not kidding. I think it's because the way you speak english differs that much from how you speak swedish,
the english language comes from the front of the mouth, the swedish from far back.
Did that make any sense?
Ah well, the language isn't a problem anyhow.

School starts tomorrow and I'm so excited (I hate that word cuz some people over-use it terribly, but still)!
I think I find my way around now. Or at least I hope so.
Have to get up at 5 tomorrow! Maybe earlier. Gah.

We went to Horses Haven this morning and it was so sad!
Many of the horses were blind and I fell in love with a mule named George.
I'll probably start volunteering there once a week. :)

After the visit we went school-shopping!
Didn't buy much schoolstuff though.
I bought two t-shirts, two bags and a curling iron instead. ^^
One of the t-shirts has Horton on it! So cute.

I have an appointment at 11 at Horses Haven.
I hope I get to volunteer there this year!
I mean, if you wanna work with abused animals like I do,
then this will probably be perfect to have on your CV.

We just watched this movie called Blood & Chocolate.
It wasn't too good.. But Taylor and Natalie looooooves vampires and werewolves and stuff so..

Just for the record;
They are quite religious here. They say grace before dinner, not always but sometimes, and it's
not as bad as I thought it was going to be. And I did not have a crusified jesus over my bed!
It is interesting to hear their opinions actually. They think it's totally weird that I've had more than one boyfriend,
they do not approve of homosexuality and think that everyone should love one another.

You can't love all people, right?
Sometimes you just need to have someone to talk trash about.

We're back from the camping-trip!
I had a great time, met a lot of different people and rode for hours and hours!
I got to try all four horses and decided that Royale definitly is my favorite.

The nature here isn't that different from back home actually,
the bugs sure are bigger though.

The main difference is the food.
I now know why americans are so fat, there's sugar on EVERYTHING.
They eat frosted cereals or pop tarts for breakfast!
I want knackebrod.

For those of you who may wonder about the schedule,
one period is like one class.
The schedule is the same every day here.

And oh btw!
We might be going to Florida over christmas. :)
Now how does that sound?

I just love making people jealous.

Went up early today aswell, guess I haven't gotten over the jetlag yet.
Ate breakfast and then I watched Princess Diary 2 with Taylor.

Then we went to the school to fix my schedule and get my locker.
The counselors were great! I got a great schedule without any math or science. :)

Period 1: World Literature
Period 2: American History
Period 3: Jewelry and Metals 1
Period 4: Psychology 1
Period 5: Family Living
Period 6: Concert Choir

When we got home Natalie and I went out trail-riding with Jack and Apache.
Apache was a bit edgy, he walked sideways most of the time.

Later in the evening we went to a pool party that was held by Taylors youth group in church.
It was more fun than it sounds though.
All the kids are really nice and some of them are hilarious.

This guy came here today to trim the horses hooves, talked to him a bit and he was nice!
Spent half the day in the stable and tried to get to know the horses.

Later we went to pick up Taylor at school and I got to walk around inside the school.
It's huuuuuuuuge, probably twice as big as the one back home.
I'll get lost immediatly.
It was really beautiful though, looked very much like the typical high school in the movies.

Took some pictures of the house before, will probably post them here if I can. :)

I'm home alone at the moment!
The other ones are at work, hockeypractice and at a friends house ^^

Woho I have internet!
I barely got in to the country yesterday, apparently I'd forgotten the most important paper.
Had to go to a special room and get some other papers that said I can stay in 30 more days ^^
Better send in those papers soon.

The house is huge!
My room is three times bigger than my rooms at home.

The dogs like me and so does the cat and the cat usually doesn't like anyone. :)

It just hit me that 10 months is a really long time!
Didn't realize that before.

I'd better go get some breakfast now!
Ciaaaaao
