Det har hänt väldigt mycket sen sist jag skrev. Jag har jobbat och jobbat och jobbat, jag var i Miami i April, och i slutet av maj var jag vid Niagarafallen över en helg. Jag har fyllt 20år och det har varit en lång tuff jobbperiod pga av en familjesituation i min host family. Det har gått rätt bra fysiskt, men varit så himla tufft psykiskt, men jag har så himla bra vänner både här och hemma som stöttar mig så bra, tack hörni!

så..... jag har redan börjat packa min väska för hemfärden för att se om jag behöver en extra väska eller inte. Alltså, min väska är typ full nu och jag har bara några skor där inne och tjocktröjor och 2jackor. Alltså, inga vanliga kläder alls! panik!!! nej haha men, varför ska jag alltid köpa så mkt jackor (7st för att vara exakt) och tjocktröjor (MÅNGA). Men de är ju så mysiga. Man lär sig av sina misstag hehe. Har lagt undan en jacka till mig och en till min mamma som vi kan ha på oss genom flygplatserna, så sparar jag ännu mer plats. :)

För er som inte visste så är min sista dag (officiellt) den 4 aug, men kan bli några dagar kortare pga att familjen åker till Kanada den 2a. På söndagen den 3e kommer........ THENNY!!!! att sova hos mig till tisdag kväll. Kommer att visa henne allt allt allt i Chicago :) Sen efter det så sticker vi till......... LA! Bara från onsdag morgon till fredag kväll, men coolt ändå! Vi ska gå på universal Studios, Hollywood Blvd etc. Kommer att bli så kul!

Sen åker vi hem till våra "hem" igen. Sen har jag en vecka själv i huset tills.... mina päron kommer! De kommer fredagen efter den 15:de Aug. Då har det gått exakt 1år och 10dagar sedan jag såg dem. Ska bli så så kul! Klart att jag visste att jag skulle sakna dem, men att jag skulle sakna dem så himla mycket som jag gör nu, hade jag inte någon aning om! Älskar dem, dem de perfekta föräldrarna för mig, älskar er mamma och pappa! Och syrran såklart, önskar hon kunde komma också! Men henne träffar jag i slutet av Augusti (förhoppningsvis om bara kunde få en flygbiljett hem snart).

Sen på kvällen den 21:a Aug så sticker jag, mami och papi till mitt efterlängtade NYC. Bye bye Chicago! Har väntat med att spara min NYC upplevelse tills pappa kommer då vi är så fanatiska över hela grejen med USA och NYC. Ska bli så kul! :) Visst, jag var där i 4 dagar i början av mitt år här, men, vi var fast på ett hotell utanför stan och hann se manhattan i typ 1h-ish, så det var blä.

Kommer bli konstigt med samtidigt skönt att komma hem. Att se alla er därhemma och att få äta svensk nyttig mat! ah, om man inte går på något sport college (Gabbi, Paow) här i USA, så kan man skriva sitt namn och ett likamed-tecken och sen "Upp i vikt." Det är väl klart som f*n att man går upp i vikt om man har Frozen yogurt, McDonalds och Starbucks runt varje hörn (Inte för att jag har ätit mänga ggr alls på McD), men aja, I will make it up to me when I go home. ;)

Om det är någon som har ett grymt jobb åt mig när jag kommer hem så skulle jag helt klart vara nöjd och glad! Hej svej!

Today both kids had summer camp, and I got the young one at 13:00. We did some videos and funny photos to my mom, dad and sis. Later we went out and played a little. Later the mom came home with A and the dad also came home early, dont know the reason. So I was off at around 17:00 and did some stuff before meeting Chrissi for Froyo. then we went to the pub where there was a cool old fashioned irish story reading with diff. Chicago actors. The book was Ulysses, written in 1922 about the Bloomsday in 1904. Although I didnt understand that much, it was very cool and unusual and fun. A lot of people had old fashioned, formal clothes and hats and so on. Then later Julia and Gavin came. We went downstairs to play some cards and we watched the fifa game between Ghana and USA. Really good game. Dempsey is a hero! Playing with a broken nose and everything. Then at 22:30 I ordered chicken wings for me and Gavin who was still there. Then we went home, it was very windy but so so humid and hot. like 26 Celsius.

Today I woke up pretty late again. (Went to bed at like 4 so.) I went to Wells st. where there was an Art festival. Cool, I went around with Genevieve, the girl I met yesterday, and also Caroline and Clem. It was cozy, we could go into some ppl's gardens and there was a live country band and good food. Later we also met up with Julia and Gavin. I bought a cool (too big though) bracelet with a leaf. Suddenly, rain started to pour down! but then it ended as quick as it had started.

Later we went to the pub, me, Gav and jules. First we watched Argentina VS Bosnia. This was my first World Cup game to watch, missed the other ones. Oh well - Argentina my fav team won. Messi <3 No hate Selmis <3

Later we went inside and had so so much fun playing Jack changes. Omg, haven't laughed that much in a long long time. Gavin kept losing even though Julia had to pick up almost all the cards in the deck. We had so much fun. An older nice man that is there every sunday as us (theres a group of ppl having their special corner table every weekend), said to me " Hows the Swedish girl doing tonight?". So nice of him to even talk to me and remember that Im Swedish and so on. Never thinking about other people knowing things etc about me. So fun! Love when people come and talk to me! I am so happy when ppl do that. They played a lot of beautiful songs, paddy sang beautiful as usual, and Ian played his "jingles" (he said on an irish radio show he didn't have any names for them). Some girls danced river dance I think and stepping, that was cool. And then they did the diff. dances at the same time! Then we talked a little with Terry and then we went home. A really good, WARM, day, yes it was indeed!

Today the day started with waking up pretty late. Ive got to stop watching youtube in the middle of the night. Im becoming my dad xD So I went down Armitage st. and bought 2 jerseys on a second hand shop. And then I met up with Clem to go to the beach. But first we bought some stuff on CVS, Clem found a cheap ball and I found soap bubbles, fun! then we went to the beach. Chrissi, Julia, caroline and Gavin came later and we all were at the beach, but we couldnt reach Kath, the girl we were going to the beach for. It was hers (and Jes and Helens) goodbye day. So fast this year has gone. So sad to see these fun girls just one more time. Anyway. We were at the beach, and we also saw some performances from a world champion man cheerleader, that was pretty cool, like in a high school movie hehe. Then we all went home to fix ourselves for the night.

Later we went to Kaths house for some good food etc. Met a lot of nice girls there, and one of them was the South african girl Genevieve, so nice! We took some pictures and mingled around. Kaths kids dropped her goodbye cake, who could NOT see that coming? Later some of us went to Red Ivy for som party party, but some of the girls I didnt jnow talked us all into go to a house party instead, with random american ppl. It was weird in the beginning bcause everyone seemed to be 25-28years old and they were just sitting down drinkin or playing a serious death match or beer pong. But after a while it became more okey. Genevieve wanted to leave after 15 min she said in the beginning, and she ended up being the drunk one, so cute hehe! So at 2-3-ish in the night I helped her taking a cab home. I also said goodbye to Kath and Jes (my fox friend). Going to miss them so so much. Love you!
