blogging my thoughts.

I am really bad at blogging....
I understand that.....
but I will continue to slowly post my random thoughts....
not really for anyone.....
but for myself.

I am here is Sweden and I am seriously living the dream!
Anyone who has studied abroad will tell you that it is an amazing experience,
and it TRULY is.

I am going to school longer than I should.
I worked two jobs this summer.
I have lost contact with people back home.
I have been sad.
I have missed holidays.
I get lost.
I have drained my life savings.
I miss my mom.
and trust me....
The list goes on...

BUT REALLY.....
you guys!!!

I am in Sweden!
I have seen 7 different countries.
I have picked up a little bit of German and Swedish.
I got to teach english as a second language for 5 weeks.
I have made true friendships with people from all over the world.
I went shopping in Paris.
I have laughed until I cried.
and cried until I laughed.
I have learned to cook.
I have been motivated to go to F.H.E.
(big deal)
I have done things I never could have imagined.
I have walked bazillions of miles.
I have ridden in trains through countries.
I have slept outside a bus station.
I have had a 4 month break from reality.
I drove to Norway.
I have seen life outside of the Utah Bubble.
I have lived outside of the Utah Bubble.
I have taken over 3,000 pictures.
I have seen things I haven't wanted too.
and learned things I didn't need too.
I have grown a love for Scandinavian people.
I have lived in a foreign country.

I have absolutely loved every moment.

I have had
THE BEST TIME.

I truly am so blessed to have had this opportunity.
I feel bad for those who don't take the chance when they can.
Everyone can travel. and Everyone needs to travel.

It is an incredible experience in which you learn things that
can't be learned anywhere else.

It is real life.
It is the good life.
