Back in Sweden

Been home for a week now, has gone by really fast. Been busy so haven't had time to update my blog... My flight back to Sweden went well even though I had to reschedule as my first flight from Phoenix to London was delayed. When I after three flights finally landed in Gothemburg my whole family and a few friends were waiting for me at the airport. It was so nice so see them again. They waited for me with flowers, chocolate, and a sign saying welcome home! I'm so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends.
I've spent the rest of the week hanging out with friends or family. Finished packing up my suitcases yesterday, it was hard to fit all my clothes in my tiny closet but it worked.

The weather so far has been pretty nice, I've worn shorts and dresses without freezing too much and I tanned yesterday. Thought it was gonna be much harder to adjust to the cold after a year in the desert. It's really weird to speak swedish again, I keep translating sentences and expressions from english to swedish which doesn't always sound right... I start to get used to be in Sweden again but it's still kind of hard to realize sometimes. Nothing has really changed here, it feels almost like time froze while I was gone.
So far it has been great to be back home but it has also made me realize how good some of the things were back in Arizona. The things I miss the most are my american family, the dog, friends, speaking english and food (both my mom's and some reastaurants).

Going on exchange has been one of the best things I've ever done in my life but also one of the hardest. I'm so thankful to all the people who helped me during the year and made it so great. I couldn't have had a better american family, so happy to have them in my life.
