catching up, again

Every time I remember that I haven't written on my blog I somehow forget again. ANYWAY here's a  "quick" summary of the past 7 weeks and what I've been up to.

Firstly, Lapland was honestly a dream come true. I spent most of the 16 hour journey just watching the snow and smiling - I love my life!!! Over the four days we spent there I had the chance to go check out a Sami market in Kiruna, go snowmobiling, visit the Ice Hotel, go searching for the Northern Lights (with no luck) and jump into piles of snow.

The day after we got back it was time for Copenhagen. I ate far too many pastries and still can't get over Christianshavn. Are you SURE the police know about this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianshavn 

Also what a beautiful city!

The Stockholm Gasque was like a welcome party for all the new members and was so much fun! We had to drink shots during the meal (which were so strong P Spurr can't remember eating her dinner and broke her chair) aaand much to the dismay of most of the guests, the dj played 90s music afterwards!

Sisters in Sweden

Catherine and Sarah came to stay for three days which included seeing MICHAEL BUBLE, finding the biggest bench in Uppsala, Fika, a sleepover in an old airplane, a day trip to Helsinki and a lost passport...

International Gasque

Basically a three course meal with a party to follow. A party where Maddy and I embarrassed ourselves trying to sing Aint No Mountain High Enough on karaoke. Luckily there are no videos. It was horrendous.

Only 7 weeks into my exchange I went home for 6 days. I was actually really annoyed that I had to leave Sweden but it was sooo much fun. Ona turned 18, went to the Marcliffe before it closes, had a catch up with the uni girls, managed a brief return to Cup, went to Gav and woke up without bruises, attended the training for the Commonwealth games, went out in Gtown with the gals, booked a holiday, saw the family, Fiona & Kirsten's ceilidh and Christine & Marcus announced that they're having a baby!!!! Not bad for one week.

Aaand this weekend I should have been in Paris but it's kind of impossible without a passport. Third time lucky!!! So instead I decided to see a bit more of Sweden J.
