Spring?

I'm sorry Heather, this blog entry will be in Swedish.

Av någon himla anledning har jag varit otroligt dålig på att skriva i min blogg sen jag lämnade USA.
Mycket har hänt, men har inte riktigt känt någon lust för att skriva.
Det finns ju ingen garanti att jag kommer fortsätta efter detta, men nu fick jag ett ryck att skriva lite.

Sportlovet är avslutat, tyvär. Det var ett riktigt bra lov i år.
Lördag morgon, det var dagen som äventyret startade.
Påbörjade resan med familjen Perbo runt halv nio. Vi skulle till Transtrand, där jag konfirmerades 2007. Aldrig förut hade jag träffat mamman i familjen, och inte heller varit i Transtrand utan att det var läger. Spännande!
Hammarbykyrkan hade bokat upp Fjällgården, så mycket nytt folk väntade.
På vägen stannade i Hedemora hos farföräldrarna och åt en mycket god lunch.
Resan gick som den skulle och innan vi åkte upp till fjällgården så hyrde vi skidor hos Topski.
Vilken service! Otroligt duktiga och snälla var dem. Och som lillasystern i familjen påpekade så var skidorna riktigt snygga för att vara uthyrningsskidor, t.om hjälmen var snygg.

Äntligen uppe vid Fjällgården. Det kändes inte som att jag var där. Det tog en stund att sjunka in. Vi bäddade och åt en riktigt god Lasange till middag. Efter efterrätten så började det sakta sjunka in vart jag faktiskt befann mig. Lagom till andakten. Så lyckan var inte långt ifrån fulländad. Kvällen avslutades med kortspelet Banka bäver med tre ev. konfirmander (om jag blir fadder i sommar)

Vi vaknade kl 7 för att vara påklädda inför morgonbönen och sedan frukost.
Mmmh frukosten där är fantastisk, havregrynsgröt och massa olika sorters nybakat bröd som även blev matsäck. Sedan var det bara att köpa liftkort och ut i backen.
Första åket kan jag inte påstå var särskilt proffsigt. Men sedan gick det bara bättre och bättre.
Dagen efter var jag proffs. Kläppens(I Sälen)backar är riktigt bra. Lite skillnad från hovfjället och sunne ;) Vilket man visserligen inte ska klaga på, riktigt fina backar där med, bara lite få.

Tredje och sista dagen var det dags för längd. Första gången på över 10 år, om det ens räknas.
I upprörd vind och knappt några spår bar det av ut på fjället. Allt som allt körde vi ca 1 mil och det var Jätte roligt! Jag ramlade flera gånger ,men det gjorde inte så mycket. Otroligt roligt var det ändå. Efter underbara dagar var det dags för hemförd.
Tre utslagna tjejer i baksätet kan jag lova. Stannade även nu i Hedemora, fast för en otroligt god middag. Mumma vilken kock till farmor. Hemma i vårberg vid halv 12 och direkt i säng för att sedan åka till Lysvik dagen efter där det väntades mer skidåkning.

New years

Today is the BIG day. It's the day when "Livskraft" starts!
A Christian youth camp, it'll last till friday and it will be the best Ever.
Totally excited. It's gonna be different knowing so many people there, compared to last time when I hardly knew anyone, now it feels like I know half the camp. No I probably don't, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
Christmas was really good and I got some awesome gifts :)

See ya I'm off to Uppsala! :D

Snow <3

As probably most of you know, I LOVE snow.
Just not when it's mixed with a storm so it makes my both my eyes and nose cry. Man it was windy today! It started this morning...My mascara was everywhere but where I wanted it. When it was all fixed and we had had our first class, gym, the weather was easier. But back at school we had just gotten out from the subway and it was the worst storm ever! Ok , storm is not the correct word. But it was soooo windy! I mean it's not a long way from the subway to our school, but we were covered in snow by the time we got there. And we were walking faced to the ground so we walked into people...It was an adventure not to speak of...But the day ended good, after our last test this semester we got out at around 15.30 and the snow was falling lightly and it was dark. For once it was a lot of snow in the city. It usually melts away. But now it was like 1 dm (3inches)
Out here it's even more. I love it, and specially that I don't have to shovel! :D I wanna go sledding...Maybe I'll manage to convince someone :D

One subject to another, my english exam thingie!
I finished it last week, it felt pretty good. But my teacher is slow as a snail so he haven't corrected it yet. But next year I'll know ;)

Tomorrow the christmas vacation starts. I have a feeling that I'm gonna have something to do pretty much every day, and if I don't I'll find something to do.
It begins with that me and some friends are going to Clara's and we'll bake Lussebullar(saffron buns) and gingerbread cookies and Knäck(?) and we'll spend the night.
Tuesday me and my mom are going to grandma :D Totally excited! We'll stay there to 25th or 26th. And that's when we're celebrating christmas here at my dad's.
Two days later I'm headed to Uppsala for the youth camp!!!!!! Can't even imagine how amazing it will be. dec 28th - jan 1st. We will be pretty much dead, but the 2nd some of us are going on a hockey game! After that it's a week left and who knows what will happen? I don't :) I'm happily unaware. If that makes sense on English? (Lyckligt ovetande!)

That's it for now :)

Kebab ftw!

I think I'm spending too much time with Peppe (Petter J)...
He's all obsessed with Kebab and replaces the word Good with Kebab.
And guess what? I'm catching myself doing the same thing...
I mean, it's a good expression, kebab is the shiet!
But you get some pretty strange looks when u say it...
Though that's nothing compared to when my face was green on the subway...
We were going to a halloween party, i wanted to be green in my face. So I painted it green.
So of course the not so smart Mathilda paints it before the party and travels with both bus and subway all green. Don't get me wrong it was hilarious, i mean people's looks...man it was fun :D
It was all worth it in the end when I won the title "Most extreme".

Next week I'm doing one of the three parts so I wont have to take english A anymore.
Part one's gonna be the national exam. Part two and three are talking things which are in December. I don't think it's gonna be too hard. You can't really study for the N.E. And for the second part it's a book review, I chose The Shack, my favorite book. Part three is to tell about and english speaking country...wow that's hard wonder which i'm gonna choose??

Wow i suck at this, there's all kinds of things going on but i suck at writing them down...
So this is it for now.

SIR

Stockholm Internationella Restaurangskola 1A.
Naaajs!
Av någon outgrundlig anledning hamnar jag alltid i klass A. Asbäst helt enkelt.
Skolan började i onsdags med upprop och lite sånt.
Skojar inte när jag säger att jag var sjukt nervös. Även dom två dagarna efter.
Idag var första dagen med lektioner.
Fast riktiga lektioner var det ju inte, mest genomgångar om Kallkök,varmkök och servering.
Vi är 30 i klassen. Ganska många så gäng har ju skapats fort som ögat. Knappt så man hängde med.
Schemat är helnajs och klassen verkar bra efter vad man sett efter bara några dagar.
Helt klart bättre än nian.

Skolan har en elevrestaurang, alltså där allmänheten får äta och där vi arbetar.
Vår klass är där på måndagar hela dagen.
Min grupp börjar med Varmkök på måndag, veckan efter blir det servering,sedan kallkök.
Så går det runt.
Jag kommer lära mig jätte massor ser det ut som efter att ha kollat på planeringen.
Hur kul som helst.
Nu har även tvåorna och treorna kommit. Får se om vi blir nollade ;)

notes of change

It's been 2 months in nine days.
After the year I've had, I'm glad to be home.
To be home with old and new friends.
The summer has been busy. Though I wish it was longer, the favorite thing just lasted for 5 days.
The Christian camp I went on. The same as last year.
But even better. More people I already knew and that I got to know.
Better seminars, music etc.
As typical swedish summer it was raining pretty much every day.
Did it matter? No.
Too meet the amazing people that I haven't met for about a year was the thing I've been longing for for so long.

For two years I've been wanting to be help-leader at a confirmation camp in Transtrand Soo bad and the summer 2010 is my last chance.
But what I would want even more is that my little brother will go there this summer.
"Give up Mathilda, there's no point of trying" Maybe not, but I still will.

Before I went on this camp 2007, I Really didn't want to go. I did everything I could so I wouldn't have to go. I mean, a summer without cell-phone,computer and t.v. "Are they trying to kill us? a month in the forest totally outside the civilisation. Tempting? For sure not! I mean just the names tells me that they're all geeks. Everyone's christians but me. Great times Great times"
Great attitude to that camp huh? But after all my tries I was on my way.
I didn't like it too much in the beginning but I gave it a chance.
It turned out to be the Best thing I've done.
Then the camps I've been to afterwords have made it much better, though many people haven't been with us to these camps. It's up to each person.
Some people still weren't Christians after the confirmation camp, but it was the best way to spend their summer. And not a total waste as so many people thought.

Graduated!

A blue ocean of to be Alumni 2009.
Line up girls on one side and boys on the other. Starting with top 10, followed by High honors(GPA 3.5-),honors(me)(3.0-3.5) and the rest(high enough to graduate).
Slowly the lines start moving inside.
We get to the doors and stop. One at the time.
To walk down the aisle to the seats for Class of 09.
Girls boys every other row.
Face the audience.
Last graduate is standing on place and we turn, still standing.
Principal talks and let us sit.
He talks more and thanks everyone and introduces the student holding a speech. Christina Young.
When she was done, principal took over and we started walking up on stage to receive our "diploma". It was the thing to put our diploma in later.
The choir stood aside to wait to sing "Alma mater".
It was quick and then down to our seats again.
Two seconds later we were to stand again and turn against the audience.
"This is the alumni of 2009" and so on.
The friends and family were clapping and one after another started to stand up.
What a feeling.
We started walking out just to stand in line to get our diploma.
Beautiful.
More pictures.
And theen we went to the Banana boat! Huge ice creams there! my oh my.
We ordered Banana splits. Elisa didn't know how big it is so she ordered a large one for herself. Gah. Me and Heather bought one together and we didn't even finish it.

Alumni of 2009.
