Birthdays

I continued my week of birthdays with my host mom's birthday on Wednesday. On Friday, it was Rachel's 17th birthday party, and Saturday was one of my Swedish friend's boyfriend's birthday.

You can see Zabina and her boyfriend singing charaoke in his pic. I thiknk we all took a turn at songstar. I managed to score.... the lowest! oops! hehe


On Friday, Zabina (one of my Swedish friends) and I decided to bake chocolate chip cookies, unfortunately they do not sell chocoalte chips in Sweden... uh oh!!! We improvised and ended up taking out a hammer and pounding chocolate bars into small pieces! It actually worked out really well and made for a fun time!

My parents are comoing on Tuesday to visit, and then I'm off to the ice hotel, up north, outside of Kiruna. It should be exciting!

My host sister ate all my peanut butter so now I can't make cookies... but it looks like you had fun!


How's your swedish? I can say 'jag pratar inte svenska'... thankfully my finnish skills are slightly more advanced!

Dear, dear Claire;
How're the blue highlighters treating you?
Hah.

It's the ol' Spring Orientation this year, good times all around, which also prompted the thought "Hey, I haven't talked to Claire in a while".
Definitely saw Spencer a few weekends ago, he said you were doing fine...

But, gotta get up super early to be back at that wonderful hotel tomorrow morning, so I'll say NIGHT!
