Halloween day + night :D
The worst thing that I have ever experienced until this day is to go to shcool when you have only slept for about three hours and when you have a hangover. Yes, that's right, this is how my day was :P Really bad and long.
Yesterday it was HALLOWEEN! As you all should know ;) And what do you do on halloween? PARTY, right? :D
Well, that's what I did :D I partied, with EF and friends from school :D
It was a great day and evening/night ;) But today, was, as I said, a really bad day :P
Alright, to tell you the long story... :)
I started with going to the gym Monday morning with Malin and Maiju. It was fun and I felt great afterwards :D
Lunch was good and then Maiju, Anna and I spent about three hours in the student lounge and we talked to different people :D Leonard, Felix, Rafael, Carlos, Marcus, Cecilé, Jasmine and some more ;) It was fun!! :D
We also met Begonia who was dressed out as Edward Cullen and Lisa who was Minnie Mouse :D
The class was quick, we have now changed teachers. I now have Daimon, he is really nice and I have had him before, in Communication class - still have him :D
After school I met Estefania and we took the bus home. We got home, changed clothes, put on make up, ate dinner and then got ready to leave.
We took the bus to the city center :D Estefania was a police officer and I was a Devil :D
Then we met the girls!! Jasmine, Cecilé, Laura, Kim and one more girl that I'm afraid I don't know the name off :(
But we had a great night anyways :D
We went to the club and met Leonel, but there wasn't many people there at all! It was only around 8.50 so it was still early. There were about six people and two of them were dancing :P We thought that we would go to a pub and drink something while we waited for more people to come (they didn't serve alcohol in the club at the time since there were people under the age of 18 - they would have to leave at 10.30).
So, at the pub we drank... Something ;) Talked and played Jenga :P
Then, we went back to the club and there were more people there now. It was quite a lot acctually :D
It was fun. But there wasn't many people dancing :( And I really felt like dancing!!
They opened up the upper level after a while, but nobody were dancing there either :( No good music though :P
Jasmine, Kim and I took a tequila shot each and then a red bull vodka. It was good ;) And after a while Kim and I took one more tequila and red bull vodka. After that, our heads started spininga and we really wanted to dance. "Screw this" we thought and started dancing all alone on the dance floor :P
We went back down, and then they opened the lower level. Now the party really started! This was the floor where there were people and good music! One bad thing were though that it was really hot down there :P I almost fainted because I didn't get any oxygen to my brain :( And my feet were killing me because of my high heels.
Jasmine and I went up to take air. And there was a "strip pole" in the middle of the dancefloor. No one were there so we took our chance, we started dancing and took some pictures :D
Then we went back down and danced like hell!! Until 2 am. It was enough, and we were exhausted.
Estefania and I went home - with a taxi.
The thing is that when we came home I was really alert so I started cleaning my room for half an hour. And when I was in my bed I couldn't sleep :( I fell asleep at 3 am and woke up at 6 am. THREE HOURS OF SLEEP!!
Well, that was halloween :P
So, today I was really tired and now you know why :P
Well, going to sleep now :D
Night! <3
Saturday + Sunday
Saturday
Yesterday I meet some friends at a coffee shop in Cowley Road at around 2 pm. We had really much fun :)
I ate a cookie monster and drank a large hot chocolate with mashmallows :D It was really good but afterwards I was so full that it felt like I was going to explode! And I didn't even finish the cookie monster because it was so much :P By the way, a cookie monster is two cookies and ice cream between - like a sandwich but very very sweet :D
The others ate pies, brownies and cookies, and drank orange juice and hot chocolate :D It was all very good :)
We talked and had fun until 5 pm, then we went our seperate ways ;) Emelie and I walked to a bus stop - 20 minutes walk and then we took the bus because we thought it would start raining :D
But it didn't, not until I got home :D But it sure was cloudy outside :( I took a picture of it :P And of the house too :D
Sunday
Today I have been shopping with my host family (Angie and Andrea) ;) It was great, we were in Tesco for over one hour, bying things :D I bought things for about 27 pound but I'm going to split that with Estefania :D But still, it's so much food so it will last for at least a month :D
When we got back home it was a lot of things we had bought :P And we all helped putting it in the right place.
I ate lunch and Angie and Andrea went out to meet friends.
Now I'm going to watch a movie and just relax... might go to the gym tomorrow at 10 am with Malin :D
See ya ;)
Ice cream and fun! :D
Yesterday was a fun day!
I planned the day very good but it still ended with me having to run to the bus stop and hurry to school. I was in school 20 minutes before school started, and that is very late for me so I got very nervous :D
I had my first Grammar class yesterday, it was surprisingly fun :P 2 hours and 50 minutes of Grammar is actually not that bad ;)
But after the class I had a lunch break for 2 hours and 25 minutes and you can do a lot on that time ;)
First, lunch with friends :D Meatballs with rice ;) And for Maiju rice and vegetables since she is a vegetarian :D And some weird thing for Sofia :)
It was quite sunny outside so Emilie, Vanessa, Maiju and I decided to sit outside :) Maiju and I ate an ice cream :D MAGNUM double caramel! They stop selling that particular ice cream in Sweden, why, I don't know. But it was so good to eat it again! My favorite! :D
We had a great deal of fun, and after a while Maria joined us :D But she had to go again, a few minutes later :/
After a while it was time for class. Which was kind of fun too ;) Nothing special happend but it was a good finish to the day :D
I got to know from my teacher, David, that I got 88% on the level test ;) Which is good :D And we are all moving up a class, now we are in C1-3 instead of C1-2 :D
Well, I didn't do much when I got home. I just watched a movie and then went to bed early since I was quite tired :D
Now I'm getting ready to go meet some friends in town for a "coffee" (I don't drink coffee, going to take a hot chocolate instead) :D
See ya!
Level test!
So today I had a level test in school. To see if my English has improved this past month ;)
I was so nervous before the test, my hands were shaking so much! And I couldn't stop thinking about how it would go, if I was prepared enough.
Apparently I was!! :D I got the result as 66 points out of 75 :D That's only nine wrong, good right? :)
My teacher, David, has to correct my writing skills first though and see if those are good too. If so, I will probably be moving up a class - C1-3 - next week :D
I'm so excited ;)
Got to sleep now. My cough is still really bad :(
One month!
Today I’ve been here for one month ;) How the time flies by :P Wow, I can't really believe that I‘ve been here for so long!
I'm sorry for not writing so much, been a while I admit. But I’ve been busy with... stuff :) Friends, school/homework, not going to the gym ;), shopping and some other stuff ;)
I'm sorry though, for not writing and for not keeping contact with all of you who are reading this. SORRY!! :D
Alright, now I’ve apologised… Wanna know what I’ve been up to lately? :)
So, the last thing I wrote here is that I’d a fun day with Adam – the teacher, and that I ate outside of Radcliffe Camera with some friends. What have I been up to after that? ;)
I’ve been to Windsore Castle and Hampton Court with the school and some friends. It was OKAY and kind of FUN, even though the history doesn’t interest me :D Also been on class trips ;)
I’ve been out partying a few times :) With some friends and then with other friends, who are all awesome! I’d a great deal of fun!
I’ve had classes, with different awesome teachers ;) some are funny, some are nice, but everyone is good at their work, teaching :D
I’ve been eating in the cafeteria with a lot of new and “old” friends. Been to restaurants and cafés with friends, been to pubs with teacher and class and every time I’d fun!
I’ve been shopping with friends!! And had an extremely great time!
I’ve been celebrating a birthday – Malins :D
I’ve been baking cupcakes with my host family and my roommate!! :P And eaten them too! ;)
I've been ill, twice, still am from last time :(
Well, that’s about it. So, maybe you see now that I have been kind of busy with… stuff ;) But from now on, I hope it won’t take me two weeks to write a few sentences and upload a few pictures :D
See ya later!! :D
Fredagen!/Friday!
Idag har varit en av de mest roligaste dagarna sen jag kom hit till Oxford. Först var det skola, tre lektioner, study skills * 2 och sen engelska.
In the room were we had the lesson there were just a bunch of sofas, large orange sofas! It was so nice, a good finish lesson on a Friday afternoon :)
Our substitute was absolutely fantastic! I had a laugh attack (had eaten and had a sugar attack) so I laughed throughout the lesson (75 minutes) ... in row!
It was Bergonia (a friend (Swedish)), Adam and I laughed like all the time! Every time Adam would talk to people on the couches where Bergonia and I sat he would jump over our seats so he didn't had to see us sitting there and smiling. But of course he saw us in perspective and started laughing.
He said many funny things and there was not much done the 75 minutes but we had such fun and it was so nice to finish school with laughter!
Some examples of what he said and did:
Then we met up Estefania and a while later, Jasmine (Spanish), Cécile (French?) And Emilie (French). We took "take away" food and then we sat at the Radcliffe Camera and ate outside :) We talked and had fun!
So, that was Friday! (Wrote this yesterday but it did not come up (that's why it's in present time)).
Today is Saturday and I have written up to accompany people to London and go to Hampton Court and Windsor Castle with EF. I got it for free while others had to pay 30 pounds :) But that's because I helped EF with some stuff ;)
Have to go now, to blow dry my hair, eat breakfast, brush my teeth and then go to school!
See you later today maybe! Then I will hopefully have more pictures since this post didn't had many :P
Study skills var roligt - faktiskt :) men engelskan OMG! Det var den roligaste engelskan jag har haft på hela veckan.
I engelskan pratar vi om politik, jippi... inte! Jag gillar verkligen inte politik så lektionerna är inte så roliga :( Men idag då var den så rolig att jag inte kan sluta tänka på den :) Vår lärare är på sin sons bröllop så vi hade vikarie, men den vikarien är sjuk så vi hade en annan, ADAM (inte min host family man).
I rummet fanns det bara en massa soffor, stora orangea soffor!! Så mysigt var det, en bra avslutningslektion på en fredagseftermiddag :)
Vår vikarie var helt fantastisk! Jag hade en skratt attack (hade ätit och hade en socker attack) så jag skrattade hela lektionen (75 minuter)... i streck!
Det var Bergonia (en vän (svensk)), Adam och jag som skrattade typ hela tiden! Varje gång Adam skulle prata med folken i sofforna där Bergonia och jag satt så hoppade han över våra platser för att inte se oss sitta där och le. Men självklart såg han oss i synvinkeln och började skratta.
Han sa många roliga saker och det blev inte mycket gjort de 75 minuterna men vi hade så himmlans kul och det var så skönt att avsluta skolan med skratt!
Några exempel på vad han sa och gjorde:
- I can't do this anymore! I'm trying so hard do be a professional teatcher, but you guys are making it so hard! I can't stop laughing!
- Oh My God, I love your laugh Kim. I could actually be really sad, like the way sad that you think you could never be any sader and if you would laugh you would make me happy again!
- Oh My God! I'm so glad I'm not your real teatcher, well because now we can actually become friends. You would make my life better in a millions way. God, I love you Swedes!
- I really love you Kimi, give me a hug (vi kramades), we should all of us go out and have a drink or something - you're all over 18 right?
- I'm going to London to meet my friend who lives there but if you could come we would have so much fun! Your laughter would never make me sad or bored :P (sa han till mig).
Efter engelska lektionen slutade jag skolan och mötte upp några tjejvänner (Laura, Malin (svenskar) och Lisa och Maddie (tyskar) :) vi gick och köpte godis :P sen gick vi och satte oss ner för Laura har lågt blodtryck så vi satte oss så hon inte skulle svimma :)
Sen mötte vi upp Estefania och lite senare kom även Jasmine (spanska), Cécile (franska?) och Emilie (franska). Vi tog mat som var take away och sen satte vi oss vid Radcliffe Camera och käkade utanför den ;) Vi pratade och hade kul!!
Så, det var fredagen!! (Skrev inlägget igår men det kom inte upp (därför är det i nutid)).
Idag är det lördag och jag har skrivit upp mig till att följa med till London och gå på Hampton Court och Windsor Castle med EF. Jag fick det gratis medan andra fick betala 30 pund :) Men det är för att jag hjälpte EF med lite saker ;)
Måste gå nu, ska föna håret, äta frukost, borsta tänderna och sen åka till skolan!
Ses senare idag kanske! Då jag förhoppningsvis har fler bilder, för detta inlägg blev inte så många :P

Study Skills was fun - really :) but English OMG! It was the funniest English I've had all week.
In English, we talk about politics, jippi ... not! I really don't like politics so the lessons are not so fun :( But today it was so funny that I can't stop thinking about it :) Our teacher is on his son's wedding so we had a substitute, but the substitute is sick so we had another, ADAM (not my host family man).

Tipspromenad och BBQ/Scavenger hunt and BBQ
Dagen idag har varit lång men mycket rolig fast än är den inte över!! :D
We found out who won and so. My team came in fourth place out of nine teams :D not so badly done ;)
After the results some friends and I decided that we would take a bus into the City Centre and shop, so we did. We bought the bus pass (saw candy at the shelves that I wanted to eat but I didn't buy it and I'm very happy for that ;)), shopped things that we all needed and we talked and had fun - once again.
I told them that back home in Sweden, I was the quiet and shy girl and they all thought I was joking because they could not believe I was silent :P Partly because I'm the so-called "Party Soul", the person who put everyone together and make sure that everyone is having fun, sucha as laughing :D It's really fun that people feel like that about me :)
After two hours of shopping we all went our own ways to go home. When Estefania and I came home we were alone for about 10 minutes and then after a while Angie and Pompejo (Angie's brother) came home and they fixed dinner. 30 minutes later we had an English meal known as "jacket potato" with potatoes, beans and cheese so we will all fart a lot tonight :D
But the day is not over yet, later (soon), we are going to eat melted chocolate with fruit :D
Don't forget to read about my new and fun adventure tomorrow! :)
Estefania och jag åkte bussen idag, inget gick fel!! Jippi :) Buss chauffören var riktigt snäll och han flörtade med mig ;) Han gjorde min dag :D
När vi kom till skolan träffade vi några vänner inklusive två thailändare :)
Sen blev det möte för att göra tipspromenaden. Vi blev indelade i grupper, vilket var kul för jag fick lära att känna fyra nya personer :D
Vi fick en lapp med en massa saker som vi skulle göra t.ex. hitta en röd telefonkiosk och få in så många personer som möjligt i den :) Den grupp som gjorde de mesta av uppdragen vann fina priser så det var som en tävling och vi hade 3 timmar på oss att fixa alla frågorna (12) och sakerna. Det var riktigt roligt :D Och jag lärde mig en hel del med!
Vi gjorde och hittade svaren till de mesta frågorna men några var alldeles för svåra så vi gav upp. Istället återvände vi till skolan och väntade där i 20 minuter innan vi fick mat.
Vi (även Marcus som kom efter ett tag) åt hamburgare och det var riktigt gott efter tävlingen. Vi pratade, skrattade och hade kul. Det var lite roligt för Estefania satt vid ett annat bord än mig och mina nya vänner och hon berättade för mig att hennes kompisar hade tittat på mitt bord när jag skrattat och att hon sagt att det var jag och att jag är hennes rumskompis :) Jag tror alla på hela skolan känner till mig och mitt skratt :D
Vi fick reda på vem som vann och så. Mitt lag kom in på fjärde plats av totalt nio lag :D inte så dåligt gjort ;)
Efter resultaten hade jag och några vänner bestämt oss för att vi skulle ta en buss in till City Center och shoppa, så det gjorde vi. Vi köpte busskort (såg godis på flera hyllor! Så sugen blev jag men köpte inte ;)), shoppade saker som behövdes shoppa och vi pratade och hade kul - än en gång.
Jag berättade för dem att hemma i Sverige så var jag den tystlåtna och blyga tjejen och de alla trodde jag skämtade för de kunde inte tro att jag var tyst :P Dels för att jag är den så kallade "Party Soul", den person som får alla tillsammans och gör så att vi alla har kul :D Det är riktigt kul att folk tycker så om mig :)
Efter två timmars av shopping så gick vi alla våra egna vägar för att åka hem. När Estefania och jag kom hem så var vi ensamma i ungefär 10 minuter och sen kom Angie och Pompejo (Angies bror) hem och de fixade middag. 30 minuter senare åt vi en engelsk rätt som kallas "Jacket potato" med potatis, bönor och ost så vi alla kommer prutta mycket ikväll :D
Men dagen är inte slut än, senare (snart) ska vi ner och äta smält choklad med frukt :D
Glöm inte att läsa imorgon om mina nya och roliga äventyr! :)
English version:
Today has been a very long but very funny day, but it is not over yet! :D
Estefania and I took the bus today, nothing went wrong! Jippi :) Bus driver was really nice and he flirted with me :) He made my day :D
When we got to school, we met some friends, including two Thai girls :)
Then it was time for a meeting to go over the rules of the Scavenger hunt. We were divided into groups, which was fun because I was able to meet and get four new friends :D
We received a note with a lot of things that we would have to find. Such as a red phone booth and gather as many members of the group in it as possible :) The group that made the most of the missions won prizes, so it was like a competition and we had three hours to fix all the issues (12) and stuff. It was really fun :D And I learned a lot too!
We did things found answers to most of the questions but some were too difficult so we gave up. Instead we returned to school and waited for 20 minutes before we got food.
We (including Marcus who came after a while) ate hamburgers and it was really good after the competition. We talked, laughed and had fun. It was a bit of fun because Estefania sat at another table but her friends at her table started stairing at my table when I was laughing and she told her friends that that's Kim and she is my roommate :) I believe everyone in the whole school knows who I am because of my laughter :D

Första dagen/First day
Idag var första dagen och låt mig säga, WOW!!
When we got to school Estefania and I started to look for where we would go, I asked a guy if he knew where it was but he was also new. After a while, we were a whole group (had asked a few more people where we were) who had no idea where we were going.
Eventually we found the right path and when we got there it was a long queue of youths from different countries.
I talked to the first guy that I asked for directions ... His name is Marcus:) After a while I was also told that he is SWEDISH and comes from Holland :D We talked a bit in Swedish, but also in English.
We came to two EF leaders who wanted to see our passports and then we got into a queue where the surnames began in the T-Z :) It went fast, we got a color patch that you put on clothes to see where you would go. After a while, there sat many gathered in one room and watched on a big TV screen and on a leader who talked. Time for questions and answers.
Question time was fun and I got to know some new people but I do not remember their names :P
We then went to another room to listen to a press-nation of different things and we also had a small question time again, but this time about the United Kingdom:)
After that was lunch, which was really good, I bought a sandwich that was really good :D A girl who I met at the presentation called Emelie (is from France) is really nice. We ate together and laughed and had fun. After a while came Estefania with a bunch of new friends, they sat down and our table was the loudest of all the tables. We laughed and talked and after a while, people everywhere started staring at us :P
When all were finished with lunch took a 'Town Walk' which was fun and interesting :) I didn't take any pictures because everything went so fast so I just didn't had time. At the end of the tour, we were all invited for ice cream, which was really good :)
We did split up a bit, Marcus, Emilie, an Italian and a Finn went to buy a SIM card for my cell phone while the others stayed with the leaders. Time ran past and suddenly we had 30 minutes on us to go back to school. We came only ten minutes late but there was no one who noticed it because we met in the yard anyway. But to get from town to school was a living hell :P I have so much pain in my feet right now so I think I'm dying. And you became sweaty too, once you thought it was over there was a big hill :/
But as I said, we did, a few others who were a little late with us :D When we got back we got back the passports that we had left the school in the early morning and we also got our schedules :) I was quite happy with my schedule :) I start kind of late on monday mornings and Angie told me that it could be very bad in the winter time since the sun goes down at 3 pm :P (40 minutes before I start school).
We all met in a tent and there was more talk from the leaders :) Then Estefania and I took the bus home. But of course because it is the first day we passed our station and we had to walk all the way back :( A bit hard was it but now it is good to be home :D
We planned to go to an event happening tonight (ice skating) but I got a case crying again so I did not want to go and Estefania thought it was cool. Promised her that we should go next time instead :D
Soon I will sleep, I'm pretty tired after a long day. So ... GOOD NIGHT!
HUG TO YOU ALL THAT ARE OUT THERE IN THE WORLD!
Jag klev upp kl 7 på morgonen (hade problem att sova så vaknade vid halv sju) och väckte sen min rumskompis Estefania :) Vi båda bytte om och fixade oss. Gick ner och åt frukost, som Angie hade ställt fram till oss :) Vi pratade och jag fick ett nervöst "break-down" så jag började gråta utan någon anledning :/ Men slutade efter en kvart.
Angie skjutsade oss till skolan och på vägen visade hon hur vi skulle ta oss hem igen :)
När vi kom till skolan så började jag och Estefania leta efter var vi skulle gå, jag frågade en kille om han visste var det var men han var också ny. Efter ett tag var vi en hel grupp (hade frågat några till om var vi skulle) som inte alls visste var vi skulle.
Tillslut hittade vi rätt väg och när vi kom dit var det en lång kö med ungdommar från olika länder.
Jag pratade med första killen som jag frågade efter vägen... Han heter Marcus :) Efter ett tag fick jag även reda på att han är SVENSK och kommer från Holland :D Vi pratade lite på svenska, men även på engelska.
Vi kom fram till två EF ledare som ville se våra pass och sedan fick vi gå till en kö där efternamnen började på T-Z :) Det gick fort, vi fick en färglapp som man satte på kläderna för att se var man skulle. Efter ett tag satt många samlade i ett rum och tittade på en stor tvskärm och på en ledare som pratade. Dags för frågestund.
Frågestunden var kul och jag lärde känna några nya som jag inte minns vad de heter :P
Vi gick sedan till en annan sal för att lyssna på en presenation om olika saker och ha en liten frågestund igen, men denna gång om UK :)
Efter det var det lunch, vilket var riktigt gott, jag köpte en smörgås som var riktigt god :D En tjej som jag träffade på presentationen som heter Emelie (är från Frankrike) är riktigt snäll. Vi åt tillsammans och skrattade och hade kul. Efter ett tag kom Estefania med ett gäng nya vänner, de satte sig och vårat bord blev det mest högljudda av alla borden. Vi skrattade och pratade och efter ett tag stirrade alla personer :P
När alla var klara med lunchen körde vi "Town walk" vilket var roligt och intressant :) Tog däremot inga bilder eftersom allt gick så snabbt så jag knappt hängde med. I slutet av rundturen så blev vi alla bjudna på glass, vilket var riktigt gott :)
Vi splitrade upp oss lite, Marcus, Emelie, en italienare och en finne gick för att köpa ett simkort till min mobil medan de andra stannade kvar med ledarna. Tiden sprang förbi och plötsligt hade vi 30 minuter på oss att ta oss tillbaka till skolan. Vilket vi hann, kom endast tio minuter försent men det var ingen som märkte det för vi möttes ute på gården i alla fall. Men att ta sig från staden till skolan var ett rent helvete :P Jag har så ont i fötterna just nu så jag håller på att dö. Och svettig blev man med, när man väl trodde att det var över så kom en stor backe :/
Men som sagt, vi klarade oss, några andra som var lite sena med oss :D När vi kom tillbaka så fick vi tillbaka passen som vi hade lämnat till skolan i början av dagen och vi fick även våra scheman :) Jag blev rätt nöjd med mitt :) Börjar rätt sent på måndag och det sa Angie kunde bli jobbigt eftersom på vintern går solen ner vid tre tiden :P (40 minuter innan jag börjar).
Ingen bra bild, men men, vad gör man ;)
Vi möttes alla i ett tält och det blev mer prat från ledarna :) Sen tog jag och Estefania bussen hem. Men självklart eftersom det är första dagen så åkte vi en station för långt och vi fick gå hela vägen tillbaka :( Lite jobbigt var det men det är nu skönt att vara hemma :D
Vi planerade att gå på ett event som händer ikväll (ice skating) men jag fick ett gråtanfall igen så jag ville inte gå längre och Estefania tyckte det var lungt. Har lovat henne att vi ska gå nästa gång istället :D
Nu ska jag snart sova, jag är rätt trött efter en lång dag. Så... GOD NATT!!
KRAM TILL ER ALLA SOM ÄR DÄR UTE I VÄRLDEN!
English version:
Today was the first day and let me say, WOW!
I got up at seven o'clock in the morning (had problems with sleeping so I woke up at half past six) and then woke my roommate Estefania :) We both got dressed for the first day of "school". Went down and ate breakfast, which Angie had taken out for us:) We talked and I had a nervous "break down" so I started crying for no reason :/ But ended after 15 minutes.
Angie drove us to school and on the way, she showed us how to get home by bus again :)

Angie drove us to school and on the way, she showed us how to get home by bus again :)
When we got to school Estefania and I started to look for where we would go, I asked a guy if he knew where it was but he was also new. After a while, we were a whole group (had asked a few more people where we were) who had no idea where we were going.
Eventually we found the right path and when we got there it was a long queue of youths from different countries.
I talked to the first guy that I asked for directions ... His name is Marcus:) After a while I was also told that he is SWEDISH and comes from Holland :D We talked a bit in Swedish, but also in English.
We came to two EF leaders who wanted to see our passports and then we got into a queue where the surnames began in the T-Z :) It went fast, we got a color patch that you put on clothes to see where you would go. After a while, there sat many gathered in one room and watched on a big TV screen and on a leader who talked. Time for questions and answers.
Question time was fun and I got to know some new people but I do not remember their names :P
We then went to another room to listen to a press-nation of different things and we also had a small question time again, but this time about the United Kingdom:)
After that was lunch, which was really good, I bought a sandwich that was really good :D A girl who I met at the presentation called Emelie (is from France) is really nice. We ate together and laughed and had fun. After a while came Estefania with a bunch of new friends, they sat down and our table was the loudest of all the tables. We laughed and talked and after a while, people everywhere started staring at us :P
When all were finished with lunch took a 'Town Walk' which was fun and interesting :) I didn't take any pictures because everything went so fast so I just didn't had time. At the end of the tour, we were all invited for ice cream, which was really good :)
We did split up a bit, Marcus, Emilie, an Italian and a Finn went to buy a SIM card for my cell phone while the others stayed with the leaders. Time ran past and suddenly we had 30 minutes on us to go back to school. We came only ten minutes late but there was no one who noticed it because we met in the yard anyway. But to get from town to school was a living hell :P I have so much pain in my feet right now so I think I'm dying. And you became sweaty too, once you thought it was over there was a big hill :/
But as I said, we did, a few others who were a little late with us :D When we got back we got back the passports that we had left the school in the early morning and we also got our schedules :) I was quite happy with my schedule :) I start kind of late on monday mornings and Angie told me that it could be very bad in the winter time since the sun goes down at 3 pm :P (40 minutes before I start school).
We all met in a tent and there was more talk from the leaders :) Then Estefania and I took the bus home. But of course because it is the first day we passed our station and we had to walk all the way back :( A bit hard was it but now it is good to be home :D
We planned to go to an event happening tonight (ice skating) but I got a case crying again so I did not want to go and Estefania thought it was cool. Promised her that we should go next time instead :D
Soon I will sleep, I'm pretty tired after a long day. So ... GOOD NIGHT!
HUG TO YOU ALL THAT ARE OUT THERE IN THE WORLD!
Flygresa/Flight
Okej, så nu har jag kommit fram och tillsatt mig i Oxford :D
Det började med att tidigt imorse så åkte pappa, mamma och jag till Arlanda. Vi checkade in min väska som vägde lite för mycket så den fick en "heavy" lapp på sig :D
Efter det gick vi och åt mat på någon restaurang. Pappa åt kebab medan mamma och jag delade på en pizza.
Det var riktigt gott men jag kunde inte koncentrera mig så mycket på att äta när jag hade ett flyg att åka med. Jag satt länge och studerade mitt boarding pass.
Efter maten gick vi till stället där jag skulle in för att komma till gaten. Jag sa hej då till mamma och pappa och fällde till och med en eller två tårar :)
Jag gick igenom pass och boarding pass kontrollen. Igenom väsk kontrollen, blev checkad, hittade hårspännet i fickan vilket gjorde att det pep. Tjejen fortsatte att kolla och gick längre och längre ner på mig, när hon sedan var färdig sa hon "riktigt snygga skor".
Jag träffade på Johan (min moster Elkes före detta kille), pratade med honom någon sekund och sedan gick jag mot gaten.
Jag gick igenom en passkontroll. Vilket gick snabbt men att hitta gaten efter det var jobbigt. F67 låter inte så hemskt men att gå med handbagaget, handväskan, jackan, en påse och högklackat var det värsta någonsin.
Men måste erkänna att det hemskaste var nog att jag gick förbi 5 toaletter. Problemet var nu att det bara var killtoaletter, jag hade ögonen öppna för tjejtoaletter men inte en enda kom.
40 minuter senare fick vi alla kliva på planet, som var fullbokat. Jag satt bredvid en kille i 30 års åldern som var väldigt tystlåten.
Jag somnade några gånger men vaknade varje gång efter att ha känt hur huvudet fallit från ett stup (trodde jag). Ni vet när man drömmer att man faller och man känner också hur man studsar tillbaka, så kändes det för mitt huvud :(
Flyget gick rätt snabbt ändå, när jag kom fram så mötte jag en tjej vid bagagen och hon skulle också med EF, fast till London.
Jag hittade några personer med EF lappar och efter ett tag kom fler ungdommar som satt på samma plan som mig :) De skulle också till EF skolor, två till London, en neråt i landet, en till Cambridge och två till Oxford (inkl mig).
I taxin pratade vi, hon skulle bo på campus och jag i värdfamilj. Men vi pratade mycket ändå :D
När jag kom fram till värdfamiljens hus så öppnade Angie snabbt dörren (kvinnan i huset). Hon välkommnade mig in och visade mig runt. Fint hus och fint rum. Hennes bror (minns inte namnet) bor också här. Han är trevlig :) Adam (mannen i huset) är inte hemma, han är på affärsresa i Indien (vet inte när han kommer tillbaka).
Vi pratade och åt middag (hamburgare). Vi hade trevligt. Nu ska jag duscha och sedan ska jag sova :P tidig dag imorgon :D
English version:
Okay, so now I have arrived and seattled in in Oxford: D
It started with that early this morning we went (my father, mother and I) to the airport. We checked in my bag that weighed a little too much so it got a "heavy" tag on it :D
After that we went and ate food at a restaurant. Dad ate kebabs while mom and I shared a pizza.
It was really good but I could not concentrate so much on eating when I had a flight to catch. I sat a long time and studied my boarding pass.
After dinner we went to the place where I could enter to get to the gate. I said goodbye to mom and dad and made even one or two tears :)
I went through the passport and boarding pass check. Through the bag check, got checked, hair thingy found in my pocket which made it beep. The girl continued to watch and went further and further down on me, when she was finished she said "really nice shoes."
I met John (my aunt Elkes former boyfriend), talked to him a few seconds and then I went to the gate.
I went through a passport control. Which was fast, but finding the gate after it was tough. F67 does not sound so awful but to go with hand luggage, purse, jacket, a bag and high heels was the worst ever.
But I have to admit that the worst was to walked past five toilets. Now the problem was that it was just boy toilets, I had an eye for the girls toilets, but no one came.
40 minutes later we all got on the plane, which was sold out. I sat next to a guy who was about 30 years and he was very quiet.
I fell asleep a few times but was awakened each time after having known how my head had fallen from a cliff (I thought). You know when you dream that you fall and you also know how to bounce back, it felt like that for my head: (
The flight went very quickly anyway, when I arrived I met a girl at the baggage claim, and she was also with EF, but to London.
I found some people with EF patches and after a while came more youths who sat on the same plane as me:) They were also going to EF schools, two to London, one down in the country, one at Cambridge and two at Oxford (including me).
In the taxi we talked, she would live on campus and I in a host family. But we talked a lot anyway: D
When I arrived at the host family's house Angie quickly opened the door (the woman in the house). She welcome me and showed me around. Nice house and nice room. Her brother (can not remember the name) also live here. He is nice:) Adam (man of the house) is not home, he is doing business in India (do not know when he comes back).
We talked and ate dinner (hamburgers). We had a good time. Now I'm going to take a shower and then sleep :P early day tomorrow :D

Jag har fått en familj/I got a family
Okej, så det var ett tag sen jag skrev mitt första inlägg, men det endast för att jag inte vet vad jag ska skriva... Jag har trots allt inte börjat mitt år i Oxford än :P
Men något hände för ett par veckor sedan... Jag fick en familj!
Det är ett ungt par (30 och 32 år), de bor inte långt ifrån skolan (25 minuter med buss), de bor i ett parhus vilket är väldigt fint. De har många intressen, bland annat att titta på film (som även jag gillar), resa runt i världen (vilket jag har gjort många gånger) och även trädgårdsarbete (vilket är nytt för mig :)).
Det kommer även bo en 18 årig tjej från Ecuador i huset (lika länge som mig). Hon och jag ska dela rum, vilket jag tror blir okej. Enligt Adam (mannen i huset) så är rummet väldigt stort och vi får plats med alla våra saker :) Åh, en kille som kommer gå i samma skola som mig, kommer att bo 25 minuter ifrån "mitt hus"... Det vill säga om man går :D
Än är jag inte nervös inför att åka dit, men jag tror att jag kommer bli när tiden närmar sig. Men jag tror att jag kommer att trivas väldigt bra! Paret låter som en riktigt snäll och trevlig familj som vet mycket om Oxford och dess historik.
Men, vi får vänta och se hur det går :D
English version:
Okay, so it's been a while since I wrote my first post, but that's because I don't know what to write... I have after all not started my year in Oxford yet :P
But something happened a couple of weeks ago... I got a family!
It's a young couple (30 and 32 years), they don't live far from school (25 minutes by bus), they live in a semi-detached house which is very nice. They have many interests, including watching movies (which I like), travel around the world (which Ihave done many times) and even gardening (which is new for me :)).
There will be a 18 year old girl from Ecuador staying in the house as long as I me. We will share a room, which I think will be okay. According to Adam (the man in the house) the room is very big and we can fit all our stuff in it :) Oh, and there will be a boy who will go to the same school as me, living only 25 minutes away (if you walk).
Still, I am not nervous about going there even though it's only 15 days left, but I think I will be when the time is approaching. I think I will enjoy being in Oxford very much! The couple sounds like a really kind and nice family who knows much about Oxford and it's history.
However, we have to wait and see how it goes: D
