Merry Christmas

24th of December and finally Christmas Eve. Earlier we had some family over for lunch, I ate too much and now I'm totally stuffed. Very much so. My little cousins were here, they are like two adorable mini-vikings. Super-energetic but both of them are very cute.
In sweden we get our Christmas Presents on the evening the 24th, which means I don't have to wait much longer since its already past 6 pm. The Christmas Tree is decorated and the presents are underneath. Now we're just waiting for Santa to come.

BREAK :D

Thursday was last day of school for this semester, which means that the only thing I've been doing is to relax at home and hanging out with people.
Thursday evening we celebrated christmas break with dinner at an Italian restaurant. Unfortunately our sick friend got lost and came 45 minutes late and something. She walked around Stockholm with a fever and a cold. Umm, we were not worried at all,. Absolutely not. Destiny or coincidence helped her find where we were. Choose one.
Friday I technically didn't left the sofa until I was gonna meet up with the girls at 6 pm. I am mad lazy. Of course I also missed the bus so I was late. Then we made Pasta Bolognese and watched Love Actually. It was super. Or lovely as they said in the movie.

Today I have also just been lazy and tonight there is some kind of show in my school, the Snow Show, so I will probably head over there in an hour or so.

Both Tuesday and Wednesday have been completely unnecessary. Basically the only thing we have done in class is watching movies. Very interesting of course, but still. Watch movies I can at home in my bed.
In Swedish we watched "La Battaglia di Algeri", or The battle of Algiers, and in English we're watching The Great Gatsby.

Tomorrow's last day of school before Christmas Break. And tomorrow night me and the others will go out for dinner, yeah.

snow

Since the snow that came on saturday melted away during sunday I was utterly surprised when I woke up this morning and snow was everywhere. But very happy and cold, and I almost missed the bus this morning. Which I usually do so it's not a big deal.

If I was in New York school would probably been cancelled or at least delayed but not here in Sweden, here no one even knows about the term "Snow Day"

soccer and food

Today I was at a restaurant and ate christmas food. Traditionally a big smorgasbord was filled with stuff like herring, salmon (gravlax), meatballs, ribs and ham. Then traditionally I ate until I couldn't move. And then we had to run to the bus.

Before all this eating I had soccer practice. Since it was only me and two others there where one couldn't train we had a more fun practice. An hour of bicycle kicks practice on a mattress. Awesome.

snow

You know I wrote yesterday I haven't bought a single christmas present? Well, now I have. Not all of them of course, that would've been impressive. However, today I met Tess in the city and we walked around looking for presents, sat on a café and went to Burger King. Then it started snowing and everything was awesome. Now we have a 1.5 cm layer of snow on our backyard. My stepmom made also made gingerbreads today. So much christmas!

idol 2009

So Idol 2009 is over and thank you for that. It is not a bad show or anything, but not that interesting. Or entertaining. So the winner was Erik whateverhislastnameis. I think Calle was much cuter and more awesome, but that is just my opinion.

Anyway, today its friday and less than two weeks to christmas. I haven't bought a single present yet but tomorrow I will solve that problem. Hopefully.
Like every year the hardest present is the one for my dad and stepdad. I mean to moms you can always give some make-up or perfume thingy, but not to a man really. I will figure out something for tomorrow though.
