Save the best for last?

Sorry, I'm not that active in writing you nowadays. It's mostly because I don't feel like I have that much to tell. The end is getting closer and closer, today in a month I'll be home again. And it feels good, sort of. Of course it's going to be hard to leave the family, who definately feels like my second family by now.

But then again, I feel more and more like I've done my share here, I did what I came to do. And since it's so close to the end it's kind of pointless to start something new anyway, all I can do is to keep going and do what I've been doing. Also when you're so close to the end you sort of realize all the things you've missed, at least I do. I find myself wanting swedish food again, or wanting to go shopping in my town. Small things like that. And I can't wait to see everyone!

The pictures you see are from me and the outdoor pursuits class going to a thing called Treego (tree go). As you can see it's a coarse in going in trees, or between trees. It was so much fun! But Dad, I wonder if it would be a good idea for you, cuz it's quite high ;) 70 feet at some places I believe.

The normal school days are over in 12 days. Then we have exam week, and then prom, and then graduation. I know I'll need to write some exams, but that's nothing new. I didn't exactly try my hardest so to speak. Surprisingly the days seem to be going slower, probabely since we hardly have any of them left.

Last week the house was filled by Dutch relatives. That was nice, even tho they didn't speak much english, but that's okay. It was only sometimes by the dinner table that I found it quite boring, haha. But then I could go off to my room so that worked out fine. Friday was the big anniversary party, which was a ood time. I hung out more with the english people logically :P It was a good time!

I have my prom dress, or, I'm borrowing one from Baukje. It's nice I like it a lot. It's in two different shades of blue and glittery, you tie it around the neck and it's sort of figure shaped. It goes nice with blond hair, as we said it's going to be a good representation of Sweden ;) My parents are coming for prom, I'm really looking forward to it. After all I havn't seen them in almost a year. Then when I come home I hope noone has any special plans for thet Friday night. It's a good night for a Elin-is-home-again party or what do you say? =P Don't make plans!

I'm so excited for next year at home. Can't wait to get to know new people at home, and to hang out with some old ones of course (the ones who don't leave town too fast that is)!

See you in a month!!!

I hear ya! True, true.
Yes, i'm looking forward to my grandmothers meatballs and leverpastej and lösgodis. But i'll miss this so much... right know i'm a bit annoyed, though. Went to a ranch and had the best time ever buy now i'm home and looking more like a lobster than a girl... Attans.

Hi there!
We are longing for you too! It is so nice to read your little stories from Canada, and I am so happy every time I find a new one when I go there to have a look. I haven't made a comment to your blog for some time, but on the other hand, we've been talking more or less frequently. This weekend, your brother Andreas is out in the forest somewhere around Norrköping on his "svensexa"! The boys really have good luck with the weather, sunny and perfect summertemperature, so I hope they are having the time of their life! Well, time flies, and we'll be seeing you and your second family in just a couple of weeks! Big hugs, and lots of love, from mom and dad ;)
