'Och himlen där till'

 I can't believe that time has gone by so fast, I know that we keep saying this all the time. But it really feels unreal that she's leaving, just leaving my everyday life, when she's been there everyday. I know that we will still talk everyday but it won't be the same thing.....
Yesterday at dinner we had so much fun, but at the same time there was something sad in the air. We've never talked about it because we both know how sad we are going to be, and how much its going to hurt. ..

 Me and Alaura, Im on my way to school, and she to the central. It's been so nice having her as a roommate.

 My roomie and I getting ready for dinner with the boys.

I'm not good at good-byes so let's just pretend we're playing hide and seek ... and you are going to be really hard to find. Miss you already !

The Letter 'L'

Today was a busy day for me. I finally moved out of my place and into Linda's. We have been talking about me spending my last few nights with her for some time now, who knew it would come so quickly. After lugging all my things from Flemmingberg, Huddinge to Slussen (Linda's) I had to go meet Kaitlin, a girl from my school in California. She just arrived today-- this is the start of her semester here abroad. I took her around for a bit and showed her some nice places in Stockholm. 

After a long day, I arrived back at Linda's. It felt so good to sit down. I had a great skype chat before she walked through the door. 


She surprised me with a gift. It was the sweetest thing, the letter 'L' charm for my Thomas Sabo bracelet. Linda and her mom bought me the bracelet and snowflake charm for Christmas and my birthday. I am so happy to have something so special to take home with me. Whenever I wear it I will think back and remember my time here in Sweden. I will think about all the good times Linda and I had together.


3 days left...

Jiipii, idag fick jag veta att jag klarade tentan som jag hade i helgen, var lite nervös eftersom man var tvungen att ha 100% på den (alltså alla rätt). Nu är det ur vägen i alla fall. Har tenta i helgen igen och jag håller alla tummar och tår för att det ska gå bra på den också. Idag flyttar Alaura in med mig, i några dagar innan hon åker hem till Cali på lördag morgon, det är roligt att hon ska bo här med mig, men samtidig känns det tråkigt eftersom jag vet att tiden kommer gå så fort, och innan vi vet ordet av det sitter hon på planet på väg till andra sida.
Sitter hemma och pluggar och väntar på att hon ska komma. Sen ska vi boka bord på " Och himlen där till", där vi ska ha hennes hej då middag med några andra kompisar.

I am very excited, today my post is published on the homepage of this women’s travel site. I have 5 days left in Sweden. It is great to be able to share with other women travelers a small tip about Sweden.

Let me know what you think especially my Swedish friends. It’s just my opinion but I think I am pretty accurate.
Here is the link, enjoy.

Friends alike.

So far it has been great that Linda and I have so many commonalities with each other. We have similar goals in life, we laugh at just about everything remotely funny together, family is always first and we both see the same future for ourselves. We have the same desire for love and commitment; maybe that's because we both love 'One Tree Hill' whatever it is Linda and I see eye to eye in so many things. I think this is a huge factor in the reasoning behind us becoming so close so fast.

However, having so many similarities can only be so good until one comes up that we are both not too found of. Maybe it makes us stronger together. Who knows... but I do know that, one thing about going through hard times is having someone there. I have always had her there, crazy how now she is literally there.

One Last Week in Stockholm

At times I think I must have been blessed being given Linda; an amazing friend. Meeting her on the train was crazy enough building a friendship which I am positive will last a lifetime was never imagined. She has made Sweden my home. By opening herself up to me and caring for me as if I had been in her life forever meant so much. Linda has taught me so much and maybe even rubbed off on me when it comes to being Swedish ;) We spent a lot of time together these past 6 months and because of all the good times the period of my life here in Sweden has flown by.

So now we begin counting down the days until my departure January 22nd. On the 18th I will be moving in with Linda so we can spend all the time together as possible before I leave. Plus she lives in an area where I'm sure to find...

... I still have a week, can't blame a girl for wishing, right?

Study Day

Today Linda and I decided to go over to Stockholm University to study all day. I have to work on my 20 page paper (the last assignment of the semester) and Linda has a lot of medical reading to do. We are coming close to the end of our time together. So we must take advantage of every moment. Cozy study day it is.

I måndags började vår nya kurs, psykiatri, och tentan är nästa helg, men man känner redan stressen, det är så mycket att läsa, men jag måste erkänna att det är en av dem roligaste kurserna vi har läst. Det är många sidor att läsa och jag har inte tagit mig igenom halften än. Plus att jag har tenta imorgon :/ Men det som stressar mig mest av allt just nu är att det är Alauras sista helg här :( Önskar att tiden kunde stå still ett tag så man kunde göra allt man ville hinna med.....
