Sweden

Im home in Sweden now!! I've been here for like more than a week and I haven't written anything yet because I just didn't. Sorry, Well, whatever I decided to write in english (at least during the summer) so that everyone can read. 

The flight home was good, it went by pretty fast. I thought I was gonna get swine flu on the plane from Louisville to NY because I sat next to a mysterious asian guy with a mouth cover and weird pills in his bag. But I survived. On the next plane I watched 1.5 movies and slept for almost 2 hours. In London, I had to run to my flight to make the plane, and I was very tired (American time about 1 am) but I couldn't sleep, I was so excited! I just couldn't stand still when I was waiting for my luggage, I knew that my parents were waiting for me outside. My bags came out almost first, then I hurried out the gates and where my Mom and Dad were standing!! It felt so good to give them an enormous hug :)
We drove right to my grandparents house from the airport and I got to meet grandma and grandpa! My grandmother Eva made a delicious swedish lunch for us ;) 
I got to see my sister later that night when she came home from my club team's training camp at Malta. So funnn! I've missed her A LOT. 

On tuesday, I got to see all my swim friends and my coach at practice! It was so fun to see them again, and in some weird way, it didn't seem that long ago. CC was there too (she visited me in Louisville) and she looks like an african. Her hair is done in long, thick braids that looks like they weigh 5 pounds (extensions). Heavy. It looks really good on her but she looks like an egg head in her swim cap. Haha. 

This week, I've practiced as much as I can to try to keep up with the Louisville tempo. I did weights by myself and it's not the same thing at all. No jason, no team, no cheering. But it's fine, I can handle it for 6 weeks :) I've got my coach Carl that helps me, and sometimes we do weights together. 
I've also met some other Swedish friends (I wish I could meet my two bests but they decided to leave for Australia like 2 weeeks ago... :/ ) this week. Yesterday I visited Markus in his apartment and I got to ride the Subway! Yay! I've missed that. 
It was a pretty nice day today so me and my friend David had picnic in the forrest by my house. But as we got there, it got more and more cloudy and it started raining after a while so we sat under an umbrella :)
When me and my sister came home from practice, we were cooks. We cooked chicken in coconut and peanut butter(:D) sauce with rice and rhubarb pie for dessert :D and we had a happy family dinner :) I'm reallllly full right now...
