Being Lazy is NOT A Virtue

So I haven't posted in a while, and I don't have a good reason. I guess I could make the point that I have been working and tired after I get off, but not really. Now it's time to play catchup. *rolls eyes Ok, first quite a while ago I received another package from my host counselor a.k.a. The best one. In it, I received a beautiful postcard and a map of Taby with different things labeled on it such as my Host Family #2's house, my counselor's house, and my school.

Next, my exchange student from Japan, Gaku, left on June 5. The day before my birthday and a Swedish Holiday.

Third, my visa has been complete and is now in the mail. I only made one error on it the first time, and it was that the insurance start date didn't start till after I arrived.

Fourth, I have started working this summer in order to make money for exchange, so most night I come home hot, tired, and dirty.

Fifth (man I really have been a lazy blogger) I have gotten the information on the first extra excursion in Sweden. The trip takes over a four-day span and includes but not limited to hiking, fishing, swimming in a mountain lake (brrrrrr), a sauna (probably to warm up after the cold swim), and camping in a tent one night and a cabin another. The cost of the camp is around 1600 SEK, which sounds like a lot, but converts to around just under $200 USD.

Sixth (am I about done yet?) my second host family, the Malmstroms contacted me. Each of their children has been exchange students which is pretty cool.

Oscar who will be the only one living in the house out of the siblings is currently on exchange to Cambridge in New Zealand (not to be confused with Zeelyn like auto correct likes too), Sara went Texas, and Emma went to Melbourne, Australia.

Finally, I have been informed by an unknown source (Cough* Mike Cough*) that I am supposed to be providing my lovely readers with two blog posts a week at this point, so I will have to find more random stuff to blog about. This probably won't be too hard for a little while considering I probably forgot to put some stuff in this catch-up post, so stayed tuned.
