My final entry in english

What to say, my time in England is now over. I would be lying if I said that I didn't want to go home, I missed my friends, family, swedish food and swedish summer.. But at the same time, Brighton, 110 Malines Avenue, truly became my second home. I've had such wonderful luck with everything! I totally came to the perfect host-family, and they immediately made me feel at home in their house. Debbie and Mark are extraordinary people, Debbie's warm and kind hearted and Mark always has a joke ready. Chloe and Jade are such wonderful girls and I wish them the best of luck in life. Woody, the dog, has earned many nicknames (Smellie and Poopie for example), but I love him and now I do have a small hole in my heart. When I left the house for the last time, he was sitting by the door, whimpering and looking at me with such sad eyes! It brought tears to my eyes and Cam said: "Oh don't cry, you'll make me cry as well!"

The friends I've made will always have a special place in my heart, even when they're on the other side of the earth. My roomie, the best roomie in the world! I will miss you so (especially how you always swear in French when you bump your head in the ceiling) and hope to come and visit you in France! As you know, you are most welcome to come and visit me in Sweden anytime!






EF... well, you didn't live up to my expectations, to be honest, you've never failed to surprise me when it comes to an unorganized system and teachers who doesn't give a crap... But still, it's been an experience in a lifetime, one that I wouldn't trade for the world!

A great day in London

Harrods, King's Cross, St James's Park, Sushi, M&M store, Westminster Abbey and The Dungeons of London!! A great day with great company!

7 days left!

Wow, 7 days left! Tomorrow, me, Cornelia, Karl and their friend will go to London (one last time before I leave)! We're going to the M&M store and I hope to go to the big store Maja's always talking about (I can't remember the name though...).



The rest of the family will be home in a bit and Woody as well! I've missed him and on sunday I plan to take him on a long walk!

15 days left!


Gosh, I'm really going to miss this one.


Maria from Chile had her birthday a week ago and Debbie and Cornelia made a wonderful cake!


Hehe, yeah sure... Guest lectures... That's just hilarious!


This is the great wall of quotes (and about the only thing I actually really like about the school). Lots of quotes, for example this one;  "It's a miracle that curiosity survives formal education" -A.Einstein

Today I straightened my hair but even though it was widely appreciated, it just not me. I'm more like my hair, crazy and free. I don't do well in conformed environments...


Just look at it, it looks so weird! I could have my hair like this once a month or something, but not all the time!

3 weeks left

I only have three weeks left here! It's crazy! Today I did the final bookings for my departure (I'm going to sleep at Heathrow one night before my flight). Soon my travel sickness will kick in... hehe no I'm only kidding, that'll not happen until the night before ;)

In the meantime, here's some old pictures

Study and Ted

Today I've been studying and watching Ted Talks. The people talking on Ted are amazing and I found a few new favorites!

I can honestly say that I've learned more English watching these video clips, than I have at EF!

And a lot of pictures!

 I recently found some "old" pictures on my phone, enjoy!


For a time, it seemed like summer was coming!


During those sunny days I walked quite a bit


I also went to Lion King in London (AMAZING!)



The same week my dad had a stroke. I can tell you that the worst thing that can happen during your time abroad is that someone close to you ends up in the hospital. So I went home for a few days, to spend time with my family and see friends.


When I came back to Brighton, the sun was shining and Maja and Sofie were here! Carolina, Johanna and Pia also "stopped by" which was great, lots of friends! :D








We (Maja, Sofie and myself that is) went to Portobello Market in London (NOTTING HILL!) Half way down the street we ran into Carolina, Johanna and Pia, it really is a small world!




It was great having them here and I was sad to see them go yesterday! So much laughter, shopping and food! But now it's only 24 days until we'll see each other again! Gosh, it's really nothing :O
