I've totally forgotten about blogging this week haha. But a short summary: been to school, tanning after school. Nothing has really been going on.

I went to an audition for a Spanish variety show a couple of days ago with my friend Saniya. We made the show so today I only have 3 classes then I'm gonna be in the theatre for the rest of the day. We're gonna do a dialog in front of the Spanish 1 students.

On Wednesday I got attacked by a spider while I was tanning. It was super big so I couldn't even scream I just ran inside. It was disgusting!

Only one week until my family comes here! Yay!

Summmmmmer!

Summer is finally here!!! Today after school I went outside and sat there for 2 hours or so. So now I've started on my tan. Right now it's 22 degrees and it's gonna get even hotter this week! Yay! Maybe I'll even skip wearing a jacket to school one day.

11 days until I get to see my family!!!!!! NEXT WEEK!!! I'm so excited to see them! And today everybody complimented on my hair! I don't wanna wash it!!! I wanna have it like this forever! And I got a love letter from a guy in my English class and then another cute guy smiled at me in biology! Wiiiie! I've had a good day!



YAY!

OMG!!!!! HOW CAN MY HAIR BE SO GORGEOUS?! I'm just in love with my hair right now. If I was a guy, I would date me. And the girl that did my hair told me I should come back to the US after I'm done with school in Sweden and become a hair model. And I also didn't have to pay her straight ironing my hair. She told me she really wanted to see it straight ironed so she did it for free. WIN! And I never straight iron my hair! It has really grown! LOVE IT! I'll just let the pictures say the rest!

Finally gonna go and get my hair done today! Gonna get highlights in my roots. I was thinking about cutting it as well but naah, to scared. So I'm gonna get my hair done at 2 and I also need to buy a poster board for an english project. Gaaah. I hate the last weeks of a quarter. Just so many projects and tests.
 
Tonight I'll hopefully hang out with Irene and tomorrow I'm having dinner at Jena's house, yay. I had the greatest workout yesterday. I got there at like 3:30 and stayed until 6:30. I just kept going. I'm really determined to get back to my normal weight. Only 2 kg left!!!! And only 13 days left until I get to see my mom and sister again!!!!!!!!!!!

The Lucky One

Feels like it happened a lot of stuff in school today but I don't know. We dissected a frog in Biology. The smell was terrible, but it was really cool to see all the organs. And in Video Prod we had our run-thru for our broadcast. I guess it went really good. Before we started, the director told me that I looked like I was going to a funeral. It was a lot of fun though. We'll record it on either Friday, Monday or Tuesday. Then, in Spanish, we had our presentations. Saniya and I laughed thru our whole dialogue. But! Ms Hungerford thought it was really good apparently and thought that we should be in the talent show. So yep. That's what I'm gonna do next Tuesday!
 
On Tuesday, when we didn't have any school, Kata, Ida, Amanda and I went to the park, and then to Tropical Smoothie. Then, when we we're back in the car, and I thought we we're going back to Amanda's house or something, they kidnapped me. They put on a blindfold and later headphones with loud music so I couldn't hear anything. When I finally could take the blindfold and headphones on, I was sitting on the New York-New York rollercoaster! And OMG! It was sooooo cool! You could see all over Vegas! Then we went and had dinner on the Strip and then they took me home. Absolutely one of my best days/nights here in Vegas!
 
 
 

NHSPE

Publicerad 2013-03-05 22:21:48 i I USA,

Today it's NHSPE (Nevada high school proficiency exams), but I decided to not do the ones I really need to do. So I'm chilling at Amanda's house. We're going out soon. Don't really know what we're gonna do. Bye.

scripts, arizona ice tea and tumblr

Publicerad 2013-03-05 00:48:00 i I USA,

I'm sitting on my bed trying to practice my PVTV script and my Spanish script. Yay. Probably gonna have my broadcast run-through on Wednesday/Thursday and then the Spanish on Thursday/Friday. So nervous about the newscast. Dang. Why did I choose to be an anchor?

I decided to not go to school for proficiencies. Instead I'll sleep at Amanda's house tonight with her, Ida and Kata. Yay!

Now I'm gonna finish my arizona and then keep looking around on tumblr.

Yesterday I started the day with a Skype session with my mom + sister and then I had oatmeal and Ben&jerry for breakfast. Then I stayed in bed until like three watching OC and some other stuff. At 4 I finally went to the gyyyyym! Spent like almost 2 hours there and when I was done, my body was like spaghetti.

Today I don't really know what I'm gonna do. Probably just chill. If somebody wants to Skype, I'm up for it!

I'm stuck.

Publicerad 2013-03-02 03:10:49 i I USA,

I hate being stuck at home on a Friday. I wanna go to the gym but nobody wants to give me a ride. I asked if I could walk there. Nope. I hate this! And now I'm being forced to watch a documentary about the bible. I'M NOT INTERESTED! There's a reason to why I'm not religious. I don't care. I believe in science. Ahhhhh! It's BS! Sorry, but seriously. You can't force me to watch this. I WANNA GO TO THE GYM!!!!!!

Already Thursday, damn.

Publicerad 2013-03-01 04:43:53 i I USA,

The weeks go by so fast. Dang. Today when I woke up, I was like: oh no, it's only Monday. But no wait, it's thursday! Wiie! Tomorrow's finally Friday. Proficiency's are next week. I basically just need to be there. I don't have to pass them. So I'll basically just go there and sleep. It's in math and reading. I'm seriously not even gonna try. This year doesn't count for me so whatevaaah.
 
My social life = Great! I'm so thankful for that! Like, I finally have someone to text during boring classes and I have friends to talk about my feelings with. Yay!
 
I have some bad news though. My host family's moving to Georgia like the last week of April, so I need to find someone to live with the last six-seven weeks of my stay. GREAT! And I refuse to change school those final weeks. BLÄ. It makes me so mad.

Like an adult

I feel so damn productive! Yesterday I got all my laundry done, and today, I've paid three bills! Two medical bills and my phone bill. I'm so damn good! And now I'm cooking! Damn I'm good.

I had two tests today. I think they went okay. Got my returnee application signed by my counselor today too so I'll send that in later. Hopefully I can go to the gym today.

Wiiiie! Life's good!

Silver Linings Playbook

Publicerad 2013-02-26 06:00:42 i I USA,

I spent the weekend with Irene. On Saturday we went to the movies and watched Silver Linings Playbook. I have a girl crush on Jennifer Lawrence. Especially after she fell when she won her Oscar yesterday, haha. Can't wait for Catching Fire!

So yeah, I slept at Irene's house. Woke up at 1 on Sunday. At 3 I was back at my house and around 5 I went to the gym and ran 3 miles.

Today I've just been at school. I've realized how much I'm gonna miss American high school! All the sports, funnier classes, assemblies and all the clubs and stuff. On Sunday I had been here for 7 months. Kinda sick. And in less than 4 weeks my mom and sister will be here. Yay!

Wrap Your Arms Around Me - Gareth Dunlop

Already Thursday! I really love short weeks. Today we started doing our broadcast projects in video production. I'm gonna be one of the anchors! Gosh, I'm gonna be really nervous on our taping day. But it'll be fun!
 
Later today I'm going to the gym and I need to do some homework as well. When I got home from school I fixed some papers from the car accident. Just a tip, don't get into any accident and don't get sick in the US. There's so much work. Hate it. And I still have to pay two bills with money that I don't really wanna spend on that. It sucks. Blä. I also did my application for being a returnee at camp this summer. Just gotta get it signed by my counselor tomorrow and then I'll send it in. I hope they pick me! Would be nice to go to Boston for two weeks this summer! I've also done some work with my trip home. So everything is done except for paying two bills!
 
Now I'm gonna watch some OC and then do some homework!

When you come to a stop..

Publicerad 2013-02-20 01:12:36 i I USA,

I haven't been myself for almost 7 months now. I can't be myself here. People stop me from being myself. They don't let me be myself. They don't trust me. Nobody trusts me here.
 
Whatever I do, something's always wrong. I feel like I can't do anything right here, especially not when I'm with my host family. They always make me feel like I'm doing something wrong. Something's always wrong. I'm wrong.
 
I seriously can't wait for my mom and sister to get here. I can't wait to be myself again!
