Sportlov and such....

(sorry if spelling and grammar is not correct in this, im in a hurry to write this before i leave!)

the week before sportlov tyler was ehre. it was sooo nice to have him here i think he enjoied the food :). during that week i had my practice for massage. i had 7 massages in one week! man was i tired! but i got an MVG which is the highest grade you can get. i start the B course (the full massage) in 2 weeks.

Sportlov is what the week break is called (directly translated its sports break)
during my holiday break i spent a lot of time meeting friends, going to the gym, going to a horse show and enjoying the soon coming spring weather.

last thursday I went Alinde andn her niece Elinaor to the Goteborg Horse show. which is an international show and the first one i have ever been to (well for that level of competing. there were no americans but i spoke with some people from Ireland, Scotland, and Great Brittian. It was so much fun and the exhibition hall was HUGE! Anything that relatede to horses you could definately find it there.

Friday I went with Christina and Hanna (host mom and host sis) to Asia Spa. which is a really popular spa in town. started off with a japanese style shower then the 5 different saunas with different flavored showers, ice rain and tropical rain. then the massage pool which had different stages of massages all in a pool then to the relaxing pool which was basically a huge hot tub. these pools were on the top floor of the hotel which is in the center of town. so it had an amazing view of everything and it was a perfect sunny day so relaxing and calming.

Saturday i went to oscars with my new aussie friend alex who is my date for prom. it was a fun night!
On sunday hanna and i baked the most delicious bread ever! i think im going to start to make my own cook book! after that i went to the kastberg family (my third host family) because i would be going to school with natalie (my sister) because i had no school monday :)
it was really intresting to see her school. because her teacher was from the US so he didnt know hardly any swedish. and he taught in english so it was fun to talk with him! she has about 16 kids in her class ages ranging from about 12 to 16. with the help of assistant teachers :) so they speak english and swedish in that class :) stuff i actually understand!

being back at school this week was nice! i go tto see all my friends and the thrill of catching up on my homework :) ohgoodie :)
but its not too bad actually. i was out early on tuesday and wednesday so i went to alinde with the horses at lindhovs we brought all of them in. marie (the owner of the barn) has some really nice horses!! jumping and dressage horses that she trains! so after we brought them in we decided to go for a ride. i rode a horse named bee :) it was difficult but i managed! it was fun :) wednesday we did the same... plus the feeding :) (marie was taking a well deserved vacation in spain for the week)

so mostly this week consists of working out at the gym (yes i joined atletica hanna persuaded me :) )
friday i met with a good friend of mine fanny because it was her birthday! i got her some jewerly and some american candy (i gave up chocolate for lent so i have to give away the candy i have so i wont eat it!) then i made dinner.. burritos i guess everyone loved them! i can cook its amazing!! haha ;) then hanna had some of her close friends over for a movie night. so we had some delicious goodies and popcorn and watched some movies :)

today my counselor came over to see how things are going in my new family then hanna and i are going to our box challenge class at the gym weeeehooo and before i head off to salen next week! im staying at the kastberg's house tonight because we are leaving early tomorrow morning to hunfaljiet we are going for a week of skiing and living in a cozy cabin :) ill be back next sunday!
