SUN

The sun has come out a few times this week! which is sooooo nice.. and i hadn't realised how much i had missed it..
but i think the swedes have missed it more than i have ;)
At school one day this week, the sun was out.. and it was around 3 degrees outside.. so we went for a walk outside (without our jackets!!).. it was funny though.. because alot of the boys were already outside, just standing there in the sun.. with only tshirts on... i thought it was quite funny.. by the way everyone was acting, you would have thought it was a nice 25 degree day outside.. but no, it was 3 degrees!!
oh and something.. which kind of freaked me out happened this week!... i was laying in bed.. and i heard a buzzing noise in my bedroom.. then it stopped.. and i heard it again in a different part of the room... so i turned on the light and.. there.. was... a FLY! i didn't even think flies existed in Sweden.. but it was flying around my room and when it landed.. i had a closer look and it was definately a fly! i thought i was crazy for a moment though.. and that i somehow must have bought a fly with me from Australia... anyway once i had worked out what the buzzing was... i turned the light off and went back to bed.. and then tried to fall asleep to the relaxing noise of a dying fly.. which strangely reminded me of being back home.
And another thing! the other night i was watching t.v and i found that Hannah Montana was about to start... so i got quite excited! (for those that know me well, will know that i enjoy an episode or seven of hannah montana) so i sat down ready to watch it with my cup of tea... and then it started.. and Miley started speaking Swedish! and then so did Lily! and Billy-ray! it was horrible... they had swedish voiceovers! after about 5 minutes of watching in dissapointment i switched the channel over to Scrubs.. which didnt disapppoint.
I'm pretty happy that the snow is starting to melt.. its exciting to be able to see a little bit more of the footpath each day.. and the other day i seen some very dead grass atempting to poke through the snow.. which was exciting!
Although, i hope there is lots of snow in Åre next week.. because that is where i will be! I take the night train from stockholm at 11.50pm saturday night (tomorrow night) and then arrive the next morning at 7.54am! There will be a few other exchange students on the same train, so that should be good. There will be 40 exchange students on the camp and they will be from all different countries, i know a few people that are going already.. but most of the people i will have not met before.. We will be there till thursday and will be having ski school each morning then the rest of the day to go down different runs.. I have chosen to do snowboarding.. but some people will be skiing aswell.. It should be a really fun week..
so tomorrow i will wash and pack my clothes! i hate packing though.. i never know what i will need.. and i always end up taking way to much.. and then i am always the one with the ridiculously oversized bag.. and then i struggle to carry it!
Anyway i will write some more when i get back at the end of the week!! and hopefully i will still have working limbs and no injuries!
