We went on a hike, and saw the biggest trees I've ever seen, pine trees and firs probably. We also went ice skating and ate.

We stayed in "half tents" I would call them. They were tents but with actual floor and heaters and beds in them. So I didn't have to worry about freezing :) but we had to put all our food in best safe boxes outside our "tents". I shared tent with Shawna and Alexis, and according to them I was sleep talking and I can't remember what I dreamt about :( 

Also someone shone with a red laser on our tents walls and we heard a sound like someone were dragging their nails/a knife against it. We got so scared but we found out the next day, it only was shawnas dad who thought he was hilarious.

After that they drove me home at 2ish :)

Well first of all, when people heard my name Without seeing me they thought I was big and fat for some reason..?

They expected tall skinny blonde girl but nope I'm a short brunette! Haha 

If I compare how people react with me compared to the German exchange student who also is a girl it isn't much of a difference. 

One thing everybody is upsessed with here is my eyes. Everybody thinks they're amazing for some reason? It's not like they don't have blue eyes here so I really don't get it haha! But it's always nice to get compliments :)

I think it was 2 years ago they had a Swedish exchange student last time and she was a bit crazy from what be heard. So maybe they expected that? Most people were just really nice to me and says hi and starts conversations with me and are just fun people!

A common question I get is how a "normal/stereotypical" swed looks like! 

I can't wait for Christmas but we don't celebrate it until the 25th here so when our Christmas starts, yours is already over :)

I also went to the theatre to see the nutcracker today with Alexis and Carl. It was a ballet and it was amazing. I remember some stuff from my old Barbie movie and the music was so familiar. 

When Alexis and I came home we instantly watched the Barbie movie on VHS because she actually had it! So bad quality but whatever! 

Carl told me that this probably is the only time it's going to snow an I'm missing it since I'm in San Diego.

So we both got a step, had to call our parents and tell them, (I called Laura and Jonah called Aimee who just thought the whole thing was funny) and then during lunch we didn't get to eat but we had to walk around with trash bags and collect people's trash.

The whole thing is so stupid and annoying just unnecessary.
