Update on Life...

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates lately; things have been pretty busy here! This past week Eliann stayed here in Sweden with me! (For those of you who dont know, my family hosted an exchange student from Norway 4 years ago.) Ah! It was sooo nice having a familiar person around. The week went by wicked fast though.

Thursday night, the university hosted international night. Each country had to make a main course and a dessert. "Team USA" made a southwest chicken salad and a delicious apple cobbler. It was fun getting to try all the different foods, espicially the desserts :-)

Right now there is not a lot to report about. Life here is becoming very routine, which is fine, but it doesnt give me too much to say to you guys! Next week, is kind of like finals week. Two of my classes are finishing up so its crunch time now :-S I have 3 exams next week (a listening comprehension and a written exam for swedish and an oral exam for intercultural) and an 8 page paper due soon after. It really isn't a lot like I am used to in the States, but I havent really done a lot of homework since I have been here, so it is a bit intimidating! In both of my classes, we haven't had any exams yet. Everything we have learned will be on the final tests, so I should probably start studying soon! Oo, I would like to point something out! You can buy past tests from the University so you know what you should study. Today I payed 15 SEK ($2) for a past Swedish exam. I totally think we need this system at Ball State!! :-)

Hope everyone had an amazing spring break!! :-) Cant wait to see your pictures! Here, we still have snow, but i think it might be trying to melt. Today and yesturday have been warmer than usual, so maybe all of the snow will go away this week?! Ah that would be nice!
