The night started at Monicas and Francescas place where we got ready together.

 

Hello friends! Right now I'm sitting in my Photo class with nothing to really do, because I forgot my camera at home, so I'm just chilling with good music. Today is an important day, becuse I will get to know if I made it to the Hockey Cheerleading team! I have not told you about it yet, but tried out for the team yesterday and have had Clinic (training for the tryout) for 2 days before that. It was very fun, and I think I did good on my tryout, I mean I have never done Cheerleading before, and I almoust nailed the whole Cheer and dance! The hardest part was the jums.. Let's just say like this - practise makes perfect (and I need some practise..).

But yeah, so there should be a paper somewhere in school saying if I made it or not, I have no idea where though.. Hehe. I'm not sure that I made it though, because most of the girls had done cheerleading for a long time, and they will only take in 12 girs, from the 20 who tried out. But anyways, I had a good time, met new people, learned some cheerleading and did my best, so it doesn't really matter.

 

Hi! Yesterday my local STS coordinator had fixed a daytrip to Alaska sea life center with some of the other exchange students from Anchorage. It took almoust 3 hours to drive to there, but we had stunning views during the whole ride so we survived. We spended almost 2 hours in the Sea life center, and then we whent out to eat lunch/dinner. The Sea life center was placed in like the smallest town I have ever been to, so they didn't have such a big range of restaurants, but me and Gjöri (from Norway) found a Greek/Italian restaurant (americans are weird, I mean Italy and Greece have totoally different fook cultures, but they mix them on the same menue). The most fun thing that happened on the restaurant was that under the title "Italian specialties" the first dish was "Chicken Masala"... That is like the most Indian thing ever.. Americans!

 

Hi! Today have been an awesome day! It was only a half day in school today, and by that I really mean HALF DAY, we literally had all klasses for 30 minutes each. It was interesting and really chill! It should always be like that!

At the teenage issues we did american pancakes and just talked. Me and Nora tried to make swedish pancakes from the american batter, but it did not turn out that well..

 

After school Me and Nora whent to the 5th Avenue Mall. We spent the whole afternoon shopping, and we fould lots of nice stuffs for so cheap prices! For example, at Abercrombie and Fitch I found a really cute top at sale for only 9 dollars, that is like 55kr! And Nora found a west at 40% sale. 

We also had some vegetarian sushi, and some Starbucks coffee.

We had so much fun!

 

Monday: I whent to the gym to do a boot-camp, and after that Harrison came and picked me up, and we whent to the cinema! We saw "Gravity", it was a really good movie! I don't know if it is out wet in sweden, but if it is you should all go and se it!

 

 

 

This sunday I whent to the mall to buy a new pair of jeans, which I found on sale on American eagle outfitters. I also found these nice Body Mists on The Body Shop! I got a really good deal where I bought 2 and got 2 for free (I´m not kidding), so I bought these 3 perfumes and a hand lotion, (I could pick whatever I wanted as the 2 extra thigs from the store that was in the same price range as the perfumes).

 

Hi! Yesterday at 10pm while I was sitting in the sofa and watched Modern Family my hostparents said that we probably could se the northern light if we whent to a darker place! We packed our cameras and putted on the warmest clothings we could find and drove about 40 minutes away from the town out in nowhere. We were not the only photographers who was there, but we had a very good spot. We fixed our cameras and waited for the lights to begin. That awesome amazing northern light that you can se on google never came, but I could clearly se a green shimmer around the mountains siluetts. 

 

 

Hi! Today I have been in the 5th Avenue Mall here in Anchorage and bought a pair of new jeans, and some perfumes on The Body Shop, just so you know! I´ll show it to you tomorrow, it is to dark to take pics on them now, but I can tell you that one of the perfumes smells like coffee, another smells like ginger and flowers and the third says that it smells like India, and I think it does. Awesome smells!

 

I have also been taking Noras yearbook photos! She came o me at 4 and Kristie and Daniel helped us to fix the photo studio. The photos ended up really good, and here is some of them:

 

Today we had a special day in school, me and all the other exchange students in school held presentation about being exchange students here in Alaska and make the Americans think about doing the same thing as us but to Europe. It was really fun, but a bit repetitive since we held the same presentation 6 times.. But after that the whole school really knew who I am, and everyone started to say hi to me in the corridor, haha!

 

Today it is the national Cinnamon Bun Day in Sweden! And I had to celebrate it by making Swedish Cinnamon Buns. They didn´t taste as they do in Sweden though.. But they were good enough. 

 

Hi! Today it´s Tuesday. And I have been spending almoust my whole day writing a reading test. It was 54 pages long, and really boring, and the weirdest thing is that it dosn´t even really matter if I pass it or not, because I am and exchange student and I won´t graduate in the same way as my american friends anyways, but I still have to do those test 3 days in a road for no reason. Today was reading, tomorrow is writing and on Thursday it is math. 

Efters school me and Nora whent to Starbucks for drinking coffee and talk. It is so nice to have Nora here, so I have someone to talk Swedish to, and have someone to discuss all the things that no one else understands with. No I am home and have just finished some dinner before Daniel will take me to my ballet class. 

Yesterday I whent to a gym pretty close to my home to sign up as a member. It is a really nice place with lots of workout equipment and lots of good classes. I can go to all of their gyms in Anchorage on my gym card, so it will never be to far to my workouts! I decided to sign up for gym and ballet instead of only lots of ballet as home because of that the ballet is very expensive here.. So it is not worth it to take more than 2 classes in ballet each week.

So my workout schedule will approximately look like this:

 

Monday: Gym, boot camp

Tuesday: Ballet

Friday: Chill or gym

Sunday: CHIIIIILL!!

 

 

 

This Sunday I whent with my hostparents to Flat top, It´s a nice viewing point up on a mountain 30 minutes from home. And I got some really nice pictures from the views! And I am happy that we did not meet a bear, because they life up there on the mountain tops, and are getting fat for the winter right now, but I didn´t se any!
