Happy Easter/Glad Påsk everyone!
I wish I could be back home in Östersund, Sweden right now, coloring eggs with my family or something! Actually, I just spoke to my mom and she told me that mom, dad and lil'bro Mårten are going to the summer/winter house to stay overnight to celebrate easter a little. Man, I used to hate that place when I was a teenager, but now I really want to be there with them to enjoy some fresh cold air in the spring sunshine! Easter was amazing when I was younger. Me and my neighbour Karin always produced a shit ton of easter cards (kind of works as bribes; hers were always much more beautiful than mine), dressed up as "påskkärringar".... wait. Maybe I should find a good explanation for this, it might sound weird.... Here you go:
Many of the things you don't know about Easter have to do with odd, intensely national Holy Week traditions. So why not start off with the most unexpected one — the Easter Witch. In Sweden and parts of Finland, a mini-Halloween takes place on either the Thursday or Saturday before Easter. Little girls dress up in rags and old clothes, too-big skirts and shawls and go door to door with a copper kettle looking for treats. [this is where the cards come in, we give you a card, you give us candy!]http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1889922_1890008,00.html
Instead, I'm in Hawaii, which isn't too bad either :) I just received an email from Disney with the actual offer for my role in Concierge. I haven't accepted it yet, only because I know that as soon as I do they'll ask me for $100, so I'm just gonna hold off for about a week on that. I'm so excited that I'm actually going and I've been doing my research and following all the discussions on facebook to try to find out new things that are going on and possibly finding a roommate and I've already bumped in to some cool girls that like to have fun just like I do! I'm still waiting to hear if my friends MJ & Paco are gonna get accepted for the program too, that would just make it all come together perfectly!!
School is getting really stressful... I can't believe that I only have less than a month left! This semester has gone by so quickly. All my classes going really good, but my business law class is driving me insane. My professor thinks we are at Harvard, Yale or Princeton (just because that's where he went) and makes his test just like they would be at those top schools. Annoying. The busy time for finals/papers/projects has really started and I need to not lose my focus!
I'm also trying to get my summer all planned out now. I already signed up for one class at school but there's more things that need to fall into place. I need to find an apartment or a room by end of May/beginning of June(let me know if you know anything/anyone); I really need to find a second job so that I can make some more money!(have a couple of ideas that could work out); and more importantly, I need to lay up a Summer Slimdown 2009 plan! :D
Enough ramblings for tonight!
Shout out to Anna Bengtsson - HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL! Hope you got my voicemail :)
To all of you, I hope you are in good health, happy and doing well!

Hahaha, god damn. Wish I could send you a pic of you and me standing in our hallway dressed up as Påskkärringar! Ugly as hell :) Those where the days.
