It's funny when you listen to an old song that you used to know all of the words to, but years later the song feels new, because you have experienced so much since then. It was just me, the dark periwinkle clouds, the deep golden fire of the sun peeking through the clouds, but covered just enough to provide the perfect balance of light and dark where the clouds are backlit by the sun, almost like the candle in a jack-o-lantern, and the wet, rain soacked country road. Oh, and the occasional horse, and sheep. It was spectacular. I sat stretching in the middle of the road while "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out of" was playing. Bono's voice was blasting though my ears, then first déjà vu and a flashback to high school, then a strong, almost heart wrenching pang of homesickness, and then that moment....the one where you hear the words, but you don't just hear them being sung by the artist, no. You really hear the words, and they mean something more now than ever. It was like the moment when I snap the shutter at that absolute perfect second, and I know it wasn't really me who snapped the shutter, it was a "God sighting." Gerald used to call it that, when Lydia and I would bring in loads of fantastic pictures from one day. Then it was just me and the silence in the middle of the road with the sheep staring at me while I sang as loud as I could "you've got to stand up straight and carry your own weight.......you've got to get yourself together. You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it" My run today was the best I have felt in a long time.<div>You can lisen to the song here:</div><div><a href="http://youtu.be/hX28s-5VXzM">http://youtu.be/hX28s-5VXzM</a><br>

School was cancelled today, but I studied anyway since I was there. I learned some Chinese from my friend, and met a Colombian woman in my class whose son lives in Miami, small world. After my run I decided to make banana chocolate chip bread and pumpkin and cranberry muffins for Anna Carin's parents to enjoy, especially the pumpkin on such an American holiday. Kjell, Anna Carin's dad made the most mouth watering, traditional Swedish "panbiff" with potatoes from the garden, steamed carrots, and cucumber salad vinager....all topped with hand picked, homemade lingonberry jam from Gunilla, my mom's friend in Stockholm. The jam provided the perfect sour zing to the savory, full, and satisfying flavor of the meat, which was from the local butcher down the road. I haven't had meat in a while, and boy was it good. So to end a traditional Swedish dinner, we had traditional American dessert for fall and Halloween! We didn't carve a pumpkin today (but hopefully this weekend! And I have my pumpkin candle lit right now as I write!) but we DID get trick-or-treaters! Here, in our small little town! We didn't have candy, but the kids were so cute yelling "busa eller godis!!" Anna Carin's parents loved the cakes, especially the pumpkin, they said it was a flavor they hadn't had before and we enjoyed them with tea (pumpkin rooibos from good old trader joes) and watched "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" which was one of the better films I have seen I a while. Finally, and most exciting, I booked my tickets to Cologne, Germany today to see this girl....and guess how much they cost? $50 round rip. yup, $50.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhw2yvgYzmC-mP7vJcCoVyAs1miAE7pyYAQB8rxgM-wS2XP3IsOWzbkQpknRM7yC-f-gR3HPF9dyAr8DXpHyAXGOou9jN1dImccQu8ZW3IGWeurQF1dKwpH2PC5C4JrXMGrSIBmzexdkEH/s640/blogger-image--1577744022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhw2yvgYzmC-mP7vJcCoVyAs1miAE7pyYAQB8rxgM-wS2XP3IsOWzbkQpknRM7yC-f-gR3HPF9dyAr8DXpHyAXGOou9jN1dImccQu8ZW3IGWeurQF1dKwpH2PC5C4JrXMGrSIBmzexdkEH/s640/blogger-image--1577744022.jpg"></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">(That's us on warmer days, in the tropics, on the beach in Hawaii...we're dreaming now)</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div> Oh, and my room smells like spicy fall, I'm wrapped in a wool blanket, and the flickering candle provides just enough light to finish off a cozy, Halloween night.

For pictures, I don't have many, but here are a few. My pictures of dinner and today are on my camera and on account of computer problems, I can't upload them yet!

I went for a run this morning first thing after I woke up to energize my day after a night of valter screaming. It's cloudy and 40 degrees it so I bundled up, sucked it up, and went despite the voice in my head telling me that my warm, cozy bed was a much better option. Since the time change, it's light now if you get up at 7 so it's actually possible to run that early in the morning. Soon we won't be so lucky as the darkness rolls in for the winter. It's already getting dark at 4:30 now, and the sun feels as though it is just barely made it over the horizon. This means no more afternoon walks with Valter as I don't think his idea of a great afternoon is walking in the dark. Instead, we go home and read books and play trains, planes, and cars. We try to avoid the TV and iPad at all costs, I'm not going to be responsible for fostering more TV addictions. He ran to the TV the other day and pointed and I just said no, but he knows when his parents come home, he can watch then. We let him watch for about an hour a day. I read to him in Swedish and English,, mostly because he thinks his Swedish books are more interesting. But he is really starting to understand English now! He responds to what I say in English and he can almost count to three! Right now it's a mix of swenglish and sounds more like "ooon, taaaa, teeee" we're getting somewhere. We count the trucks parked every day at the truck wash. I have to say being with a little boy all the time is much different, as I'm obviously used to girl stuff, and am much better at playing dolls and watching Disney movies than playing cars, running around, and crashing cars or toppling over blocks. But Valter is still so small, so he still feels somewhat like a baby.....however the terrible twos are well on their way. I love watching him learn every day, he is so good at repeating what we say after just saying it once now. It's so exciting when he says something new, or understands more and more English. I love looking into his little eyes, while he is watching something, or trying to figure something out, there's so much wonder there, too bad it fades as we get older. He gets so excited when I ask him where the tractor or the train is and he points and screams "där!!" You can almost see the excitement vibrating through his little body. Anyway, I'm starting to sound like a mom with her first child, don't worry, that's not coming for a long long long time. This is hard work! I'm not ready for screaming nights and mornings as its been here for the past few days. I'm tired and I don't even get up with him!<br />
<br />
My host parents are off to New York tomorrow for the marathon. It's strange, all of their family I have met here in Sweden has been to New York multiple times, and here I have never been. It's on my list and hopefully I will be able to go someday. They took my phone, so a part of me will be there! Here I am writing and my spotify station just played "New York, New York." I'd like to go before I am 30, preferrably at Christmas....but who doesn't want to go at Christmas? Oh and see The Phantom of the Opera, I've always wanted to see that on stage. I was obsessed with the music when I was younger, I played it on my flute and the piano. And now "All I ask of you" just came onto my Michael Bublé spotify station. The songs are so beautiful I always get the goosebumps when I hear them. I've got 8 years to go . But oh, I've caught the travel bug. I want to go every where, I want to travel until I am too old to walk. I want to see places both with hustle and bustle and places so remote and beautiful you feel like a small gem buried among all of the other pebbles. I want to see as much of the world as I can before I die. Oh and of course try just as much food! What's traveling without food?<br />
<br />
Anyway, it's a cool, cloudy day, perfect for some red lentil and chickpea curry soup tonight, but now I'm off to meet the other au pairs in town for a Fika, we'll be missing Sara, our friend who was sent home to Spain. Anna Carin's parents are coming tonight to he with Valter until they are back from NY and they will only be speaking Swedish with me! Hopefully in just s few days I will learn a lot. No pictures today, but I will be putting up a lot this weekend, so be sure to check back then!!Linnea Hardlundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457575168865616395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831452623393961144.post-84402698949146504562013-10-27T04:05:00.002-07:002013-10-27T05:12:11.861-07:00Home away from HomeLast weekend I finally got to meet one of my mom's friends who lives in Stockholm. She's been getting at us to keep in touch and I stupidly didn't see her while I lived in Uppsala, but she arranged to come and pick me up from Linköping last weekend since her daugther also lives here. I was nervous, like always, to meet new people, but her middle daughter and I talked the entire way to Stockholm non-stop mostly about biology since she is doing her master's in etology. Gunilla said at times it felt like having my mom in the car, and she teared up just hearing my voice. My mom lived with her and her family for a summer while she was in high school to learn some Swedish, and then Gunilla lived with my mom's family for a summer while she was an exchange student in the states in high school. Gunilla had so many stories my mom didn't remember, and my favorite were those about my grandpa who I never got to meet. She loved my grandparents, since they treated her like a daughter while she was living with them, and she thinks of my mom as a sister. It was so sweet to see her talk about my family from a perspective I would otherwise never get.<br />
<br />
Her family is almost exactly the same as ours, as her kids, two older girls, and one younger boy are the same birth order and almost the same ages as the three of us. Even weirder, Gunilla is a lot like my mom, and her kids are all very similar to the three of us. For the first time felt like being at home here in Sweden because her family was such a reminder of mine. Her husband is even an old, funny, Swedish man like my dad! We got to their house late friday evening, but her husband had dinner ready on the table and it was so nice to share a family meal. It really felt like visiting home while I was at school, because her son and daughter were both home for the weekend. We had a delicious spaghetti dinner with a glass of red wine around a candle lit table. At times I had to pinch myself because I felt so much at home, it was like a dream. After dinner, we drank tea by the fire and continued our non-stop conversation late into the night. The next day, we lazily woke up and had homemade granola, lingon jam, and apple sauce with yoghurt, bread, cheese, and coffee. Typical Swedish, but also typical home minus the homemade apple sauce and lingon. We sat around the table for a while enjoying each other's company, and listening to Gunilla reminiscing and showing me almost unrecognizable pictures of my mom, uncle, and grandparents! After breakfast we went on a walk around their island (one of the thousands in the Stockholm archipelago) and took pictures by the lake. The sun was low and gold, and the fall colors glistened across the lake. It was brisk, but sunny, and 37 degree temperature meant we were bundled up in our mittens and hats. We had typical Swedish heart waffles with whipped cream, lingon, apple sauce, banana, and fresh blueberries for lunch. Then the kids went to her oldest daughter, Maria's apartment and we spent time with her, ordered pizzas for dinner, and Caroline and I took the train and bus back home where we had homemade blueberry pie and tea again around the candle lit table. Did I mention how much it felt like home? The next day we again had a lazy sunday morning breakfast exploding with conversation, memories, and showing pictures. After breakfast we ventured out to go to a castle for fika, but got lost, which was no problem for Caroline and I since we just kept chattering away hardly noticing that we were no where near the city and had been in the car for close to two hours. We finally found another place for lunch, a famous park where the princess now lives, Haga, and had warm goulasch to fill our cold stomachs. Caroline and I then took the bus home, and chattered away for the entirety of the bus ride....another two hours. There is no doubt that I will be going back soon, Gunilla even invited Emilie and I for Christmas! But I think we will come up to Stockholm and stay with her for a few days after Christmas and show Emilie the best of Stockholm!<br />
<br />
Since I am such a shy person by nature, I was almost dizzy with anxiety about going to someone's house for a weekend without having ever met them before, but those feelings quickly dissolved after the first five minutes. I get scared about holding a conversation and what to do in those moments of downtime, but I'm starting to learn to open up a bit more, and become more used to meeting new people. It's still scary for me, and makes me incredibly nervous, but imagine if I had cancelled and stayed home, which is what I always feel like doing as it comes closer and closer to going beyond my comfort zone and forcing myself to talk and socialize with new people. It takes a lot of energy, being an introvert, but I have to keep reminding myself that it's only going to turn out better than I think, because without pushing myself, I'd be one lonely, isolated soul. I have lived through many experiences, especially in the past year, that unexpectedly forced me to do many things I didn't want to do and be out of my comfort zone in a place I didn't want to face with myself, but I know if I can live through those things, these small bouts of homesickness and nervousness of meeting new people and being in a new place are nothing compared to what I have already done, so why not go out and try something new?<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Speaking of which, I'm going to visit Em and her au pair family in Germany for the famous Christmas market the second weekend of December. Oh Christmas is coming up, the most wonderful time of the year, and I'm looking forward to celebrating here in the same way we celebrate at home, except I'm hoping for my snow to complete my first white Christmas! I love being in Sweden for Christmas because for once, the way we celebrate isn't foreign, and we have all the ingredients and decorations here that we have to hunt for at home. There is Christmas, but let's not forget Lucia day which is celebrated everywhere here from the pre-schools, to the cathedrals. I'll hear the Lucia songs I grew up with and eat the saffron buns we always made at home. Lucia is especially Swedish. But first I can't possibly forget about Thanksgiving! I'm going back to Karlskrona to cook with my cousins and show them what a traditional, homemade, American Thanksgiving is like. No doubt I will be extra homesick that day, but at least I will be home with them. Thanksgiving is the hardest holiday to be away for since it isn't even celebrated in Sweden, and it's tied as my favorite holiday with Christmas. The weekend after Thanksgiving we are celebrating the first of advent in Göteborg again, then Germany with Em, Lucia weekend, Christmas weekend in Karlskrona, Stockholm right after, and Em and I will finish our Christmas vacation either in Prague visiting my dad's friend, or in Barcelona visiting one of my au pair friends who was sadly sent home by her host mother. The end of the year will be filled with excitement, travel, lots of good food, and cozy holiday evenings. I'm excited to see Em, it will be my first time seeing someone from home, and I think she is equally as excited. We've got big travel plans for next year also...Morocco? Italy? France? Portugal? Prague...again? Spain? The possibilities are endless, but Morocco is an almost definite yes.</span><br />

Since the last time, I've started Swedish school which is much more work than I was expecting, in a good way of course. I go to school full days from 8-2:30 three days a week, and take one half day from 8-12:30 and Friday off. It's an "open" course, so we can choose the schedule that best fits us. It's been really getting dark as of late (although we just pushed our clocks back, so for those of you in the states, we are only on an 8 hour time difference now until you guys do the same) so up until today, it was dark until 8:00 am and started getting dark again around 5:30. It made it really hard to wake up and get ready in the morning being so dark. Not to mention, when I have to catch the bus to make it to class on time at 7am, I have to leave the house at 6:45. Since we live outside of the city, I get home after my long days at 3:30 and pick Valter up at 4. I've still been cooking as much as I can, but haven't been baking to save my health. It's most definitely soup season, I think I made three different kinds of soups or stews just this past week. Daylight savings ended my daily afternoon walks with Valter as now it will begin getting dark when I pick him up. That was my favorite part of the day, him and I watching the trains go by, pointing at the tractors, saying hello to the horses, and watching him learn more and more every day as we walk along the country roads lined with the train track, now bare trees, and classic Swedish red wooden houses with white trim. Now the sun stays low during the day, and shadows are long. It feels as if it is late afternoon all day. Anyhow, here is the post I wrote almost a month ago the day before my birthday! Yikes! Sorry folks!<br />
<br />
Two weeks, the weather turned into full fall force. I mean really, within a day we went from late summer temperatures in the 70's to early fall temperatures with some scattered rain in the low 50's and even 40's. The nights have that classic fall crisp in the air dropping into the low 40's and 30's. This is my absolute favorite time. The sun pokes in and out of the low clouds that are flat on the bottom, and puffy on top. When the sun shines, the colors burst like zesty lemon with clean, fresh, bright color. The roads are sprinkled with yellow birch leaves, and the backyard has a new fall carpet complete with crunchy yellow, orange, and brown leaves perfect for running through, jumping in, and throwing in the air. It's really the epitome of fall, and the best part is, it only gets better from here. I'm only missing the pumpkin and squash flavors of the US to complete my backyard apple and pear with lots of cinnamon kick. I've been roasting, grilling, and mashing apples and pears for all sorts of uses such as a topping to my cereal, oatmeal, and toast, the leading star of a dessert, and the simple, yet perhaps best of all, apple or pear sauce. I successfully completed my first attempt at making challah bread (perfect for my "grilled" french toast the next morning), and have been on a cooking and baking spree....let me describe. I've almost been addicted to making the best and the tastiest and hunting for even better, reading recipes like they are novels. In September, Anna-Carin's parents came from Götbeborg and brought the most delicious warm smoked salmon and fresh shrimp. I was in heaven, it was the most delicious salmon I have had in my life....it was almost creamy it was so tender. The following evening, with our well-loved autumn crisp in the air, I made sweet potato and quinoa chili topped with creme fraiche and served with locally made knäckebröd....it was just what our rosy cheeks and cold bodies needed. I've also made a scrumptious coconut curry carrot soup, one I loved back in Salem at my favorite restaurant The Wild Pear, and decided to bring it to Sweden. Everyone loved it, as they did the chili. My breakfasts have been consisting of my daily soft boiled egg, and a different rendition of oatmeal or cereal topped with fresh fruit, mainly apple from the yard. I just want to make everything apple and pear to make the taste of fall last as long as I can. Speaking of which, I found pumpkin in the city the other day at a little fruit and vegetable outdoor market! I was so excited, but haven't bought it yet since I'll be gone.....speaking of weekends away, here is the abridged version of my weekend in Skåne.<br />
Filip, Valter, and I traveled to Filip's parents house by the sea for the weekend, the last of the summer weather. It sure felt like it too, the days had that feeling that you get when your vacation is about to end, so carpe diem. We went horseback riding and visited Filip's parents on the most beautiful typical Swedish farm where they were staying and housesitting. Pictures to follow of course. The eggs were fresh, we had fika in the greenhouse surrounded by tomatoes, figs, and grapes and outside there was an over abundance of the sweetest sunkissed raspberries I have ever tasted. It was our last weekend of "summer" as the temperatures were warm and we were able to fika outside atop a hill overlooking the coast on the cafe's last day of being open. Filip's parents took me to some of the most famous summer vacation spots as well as some beautiful coastal landmarks.<br />
<br />
The following weekend I went to Karlskrona to celebrate my birthday with my aunt and my cousins. It was so nice to see them again and have some family to celebrate with. I took the train early Friday morning and instead of going for the fast route, I opted for the slow scenic route and it was well worth it. Train rides are my favorite I think, they are so relaxing when you can sit alone and watch the scenery go by as you think about the things currently going on in your life, or reflect on things of the past. I guess most people aren't always by themselves on the train, but I've only gone by train a handful of times with a someone I know. I'm really getting used to being a lone, and traveling alone. It has some romantic aspect to it, it's good to learn to be lonely I think. However, I'm really excited that Emilie will be here because I will have someone to travel with! This is also an open invitation for any of you from the states to please come and visit me! I am missing people from home, and it would be so wonderful to show you a slice of Sweden :) Anyhow, my birthday was really fun as we had a big feast, like always, at my aunt's parents house complete with a full table of fika goodies and my favorite cake, prinsesstårta. It's a white cake with layers of bavarian cream and raspberry preserves covered in a layer of thin marzipan on the outside. Luckily we have a Danish bakery close to home in the US where we can also buy the cake to fill our swedish cravings. When I came home on Monday the 30th, my actual birthday, my host family took me out to dinner at a pub serving traditional Swedish food and you will not believe what they got me! A complete Linnea tea set! I found it as a second hand store with Anna-Carin and was drooling over it, but didn't buy it because I had no idea how to get it all home! (another reason why you should all come visit me! after being in Sweden for close to a year, you KNOW I'll have loads of things to bring home!). I also got two heaping packages in the mail, one from my mom, and one from my dad, both chalk full of my favorite missed Trader Joe's goodies. It's not even funny how much I miss Trader Joe's here......care packages are always welcome ;) Both boxes were full of everything pumpkin and can you believe that they didn't buy the same things? Mom got me pumpkin tea, Dad got me pumpkin coffee. Mumsie also added in some fall candles I was missing as well. So we won't be pumpkin pie-less this thanksgiving, nor am I pumpkin flavored-less this fall!<br />
<br />
The weekend after my birthday we traveled to Göteborg on the west coast of Sweden (and now my favorite city in Sweden by far) to visit Anna-Carin's parents. The city is gorgeous, there are tons of cafes, the architecture is beautiful, they have a science place like the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park (except it's no where near as good!), and the environment provides the hustle and bustle of a big city, but it doesn't feel overwhelming like Stockholm. I would definitely live there. They have a beautiful park in the center of the city where we walked around after walking through the city, and we also visited the Universareum (the science center) where they had an indoor rainforest, and even at 22, I was in heaven. Göteborg is definitlely on my list of places to go back to, and bring any visitors to. They have a spectacular restaurant scene and the sweetest looking cafes for a perfect afternoon coffee. We visited one of them, Anna-Carin's father and I, for our afternoon fika to celebrate kanelbullar's dag (cinnamon bun day) on Oct. 4th. There is a cafe in old town that has buns the size of a plate, but we didn't go there, sometime to try next time! The cafe we went to was in a little alley across from a beautiful flower shop with drooping vines growing along terrace. There is also an amazing, mouth watering specialty food indoor market. There were displays of cheeses, fine meats, salami, ethnic foods, breads, and of course sweets and buns. I wanted to try it all and spend the entire day there! I didn't end up trying anything although I found Turkish delight!! (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe anyone?) and I just had to get it! I wanted to buy one, but the guy wouldn't let me, so Anna-Carin's dad bought me one of each kind.....naturally the rose was the best! :) *eating one right now* They also have a spectacular fish market full of fresh caught fish where you can find Swedish lobster....a delicacy so much so that they cost well over $100/kilo. This website has a description of them, as well as many delicious, traditional, Swedish recipes. http://honestcooking.com/exploring-the-cuisine-of-west-sweden/<br />
There was an entire Nordic Food Festival in NY starting the day after my birthday and you could go to cooking classes with some of the top nordic chefs....I was a little bit bitter. Maybe someday I'll be able to go! Check it out! http://honestcooking.com/category/north-festival/ Doesn't it look mind boggling and amazing?! It's on my list of things to do before I die, definitely in the top ten!<br />

The days are still beautiful, leaving us soaking up the last bits of summer until there are no more sweet, sunny, and warm days left. The skies have been deep blue with warm breezes. They say it's the best summer in 19 years, I suppose I couldn't have picked a better time to come. The popping summer green in the leaves is slowly fading to hues of yellow, gold, and red. The pears, apples, and plums are in full season, a natural sign that the brink of summer and fall is tetering closer and closer to full-fledged autumn. Leave it to the fruit to tell us what time of year it is. Speaking of, we've got pears, apples, and plums coming out of our ears! It was so windy yesterday the ripest pears fell to the ground, perfect for Valter and I to collect together, instead of having him reach too high for his small stature and pick unripe fruit followed by the celebratory "mmmmmmmm" with a winning smile every time whether sour or sweet. Although, I peak and see his face wince when it's sour, although he still wants me to believe otherwise. We went through this routine while picking plums, tomatoes, and blackberries this weekend. Green plums, tomatoes, and plums were still followed by "mmmmmMMMMM" and a large, proud smile, even if he spit it out after. The color of the plums is beautiful, you could design a room around the mix of maroons, pinks, and gold. Pictures of our produce to follow.<br />
<br />
Since I've posted last, most of my pictures I have realized are centered around food. Last week, Anna-Carin and I prepared a Lebanese dinner and a traditional Swedish apple cake for a dinner party. We spent two days cooking and preparing the food, and I was in cooking heaven. I think my favorite past time is cooking with someone, it makes the flavors more intense, the food more delicious, and the aromas more enticing. It's just not as satisfying alone. That's not to say that I don't enjoy baking alone, because I spent close to my entire day today baking three loaves of bread, and making loads of fresh apple and pear sauce. Scrumptious! Not to mention that the house smells amazing! I was elbow deep in pears and apples, and wrist deep in bread dough! Tomorrow I'm making challah and Czech plum dumplings! The girls (my au pair friends) are venturing out into the country here for a picnic to celebrate the last of the warm days wearing dresses and short sleeves and enjoying the scenery of the backyard, not to mention the lake down the road, and the canal as well. I'm excited to "host" a small gathering! We are a total of 6 au pairs from US, Germany, Austria, and Spain.<br />
<br />
I've begun running close to every other day either down the road past the stables and to the lake, or along the trail that paralells the canal. Sometimes I stop mid-stride and stand there alone taking it all in, and recognizing that I really am blessed to be living in such a beautiful place, and to have been given a job that is not a 9-5 with a grumbling boss in an office building. I may not be making money out of my ears, but then again, who does straight out of undergrad these days? Every knrona I make is worth the life I have been given for the next 9 months. This is not to say that some days I don't struggle with the loneliness of isolation, or homesickness, or feeling as though I'm not doing a job that is necessarily "building my resume." But I will never have this opportunity again to live in Sweden the way I am now, with a laid back lifestyle under the care of a loving and caring family who treats me like a family member rather than an employee, free Swedish classes, free university classes (in the spring), and a student study stipend (also in the spring). I recognize that I am extremely lucky to be a Swedish citizen in which case I haven't had to worry about visas, work permits, or not being qualified for Swedish class or bank accounts. Right now, I am trying to relish in every moment, happy or sad, rewarding or lonely, because collectively, they will all give me an experience that has challenged me and caused me to grow and learn about myself. It's much like a sabbath year....I guess I'm taking a sort of sabbatical. A time to do research about myself, a time to enjoy myself, and learn to love myself again, because school and learning is great, and I miss academia, but I can rip you apart in ways you couldn't have expected. Not to mention, that our society doesn't foster relaxation and taking time for self, rather it's a fast paced, go go go, be the best, and do everything you can to build your resume lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Speaking of relaxation, spending a long weekend on the beach in Skåne walking along the beach, going to lighthouses, and maybe horseback riding. Swedish starts next week!<br />

It's officially been two weeks from Saturday that I arrived here in Norsholm...and I can't believe it is already September! In these last two weeks, I have watched late summer slowly turn into the beginnings of autumn as the breeze is more crisp, and the morning and evening air is a piercing cold that doesn't accompany the smooth, summer breezes. That's not to say that we still aren't experiencing our fair share of beautiful summer-like weather. The report this week is projecting sunny skies (other than today) and temperatures upwards of 75 degrees (Farenheit)! We are happy for that. I have already experienced the ups and downs of moving to a new place and settling in. My first challenge was an old friend that arrived who always seems to come and keep me company when I have just moved somewhere new. This is the same friend that visited me the first three weeks of school at Willamette freshman year, and the same friend who payed me a visit during my first two weeks while settling into my life abroad in Uppsala....this is the friend who makes me sick. Not just a simple throat cold sick, but rather a full fledged fever, soar throat, runny nose, and this time the ever loved nausea and throwing up. I think I had a 24 hour bug as my first Saturday here I was in bed all day. I caught a nasty cold as well that lasted about a week and a half. I know that picking up and moving is both emotionally and physically stressful, but I was hoping I'd be spared this time. Luckily the worst of it only lasted about a day and a half and I have since recovered. In the mean time, I have taken to exploring both Norrköping and Linköping, trying to take some university classes (to no avail), playing with Valter and going on our daily afternoon walks through the country side, making home made apple sauce from the apples we picked, attempting to master a wonderful bread recipe, mushroom picking, and going to Stockholm for the weekend this past weekend.<br />
Stockholm was great. We had a lot of fun, and all of us were eager to get away and see something new.....the big city. On both Friday and Saturday Anna-Carin (my host mom), Valter, and I spent our days walking through the city and strolling through small shops as well as big name stores. We met Filip (my host dad) for lunch on Saturday after an intensive fitness test to get him ready for the NYC marathon in November, and then we headed to meet with their friends for dinner that night. We stayed with Filip's eclectic and outgoing sister who we sadly weren't able to spend much time with. Sunday morning Anna-Carin, Valter, and I walked around the famous Söder (Girl with the Dragon tattoo, most notably) and then went to the Fotografiska museum where they had three beautiful exhibitions of very different kinds of photography. I'd been there once before, and I love it every time I go. We then met up with Anna-Carin's friend from university for a thanksgiving style hotel all-you-can-eat brunch where we ate so much it was painful to walk, and we weren't hungry for a solid 4 hours after. The food, as you can tell, was delicious, and we kept going back for more. We then drove home, ate a light dinner, and finished the night in our onesies (well, Anna and I), drinking tea, and watching our new favorite series....Broadchurch.<br />
So far I've made two friends in the area who are also au pairs from Germany and Austria, and we've planned to meet up again this week with more au pairs in the city possibly to watch soccer, or enjoy a fika. Soon I start Swedish class where I will begin a daily routine of going into the city, going to class, and hopefully meeting some more people....not to mention learning some more Swedish!!<br />

Instead of studying and attending lectures, I will be actively engaging my mind by stimulating the mind of a one and a half year old little boy named Valter. I am excited and overjoyed to have the experience to come back and live in authentic Sweden, that is, a Swedish household where I can put my Swedish to good use and practice. For those of you who don't know what I am referring to, I will be arriving back in Sweden shortly to live and work as an au pair for a minimum of 6 months (with the likelihood of staying longer). I wasn't sure in what form my journey back would come, whether it be for work or for furthering my education at grad school. It all begins in just a few short days on August 14th. Much has happened in the two years since my semester abroad, but I am in a chapter of life where I am thirsty for a fresh start and a new beginning. To "pull up from my boot straps" as they say and start over. I'm searching for a time to reconnect with myself and further understand the complexities of the human spirit. Quintessential post-graduation-life crisis? Maybe. But also a time to pick up the pieces of me and begin to connect them back together, a time to fall back in love with, well, me.....and Sweden, of course. However romantic it may seem to be an au pair in a foreign country, everything comes with it's own set of challenges, and this one doesn't fall short. My introvert nature will be challenged with the overwhelming notion of meeting new people and making new friends, rather, establishing a new community for myself from the ground up. Studying abroad didn't present quite a daunting task as this since it was a preformed group of students with forced interaction activitites, much like freshman orientation at Willamette. Not to mention, I was in a higher learning environment with most of the students within the same age cohort. This, on the other hand, is more "real life" since I must seek out my own relationships rather than have them conveniently presented in front of me, a task I know I am not entirely skilled at. I will also be in a situation where I am not only responsible for myself, but for the safety and well being of a small child, so my days will revolved around his needs, and my actions need to reflect those of a role model. Additionally, it is a new city, and a new way of life, lots of changes in a short amount of time, but nothing that isn't impossible to undertake. I am excited and blessed to have an experience that will only enrich my life and help me to keep growing within myself.Linnea Hardlundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457575168865616395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831452623393961144.post-89038423125874233532012-02-15T15:20:00.000-08:002012-02-15T15:20:50.558-08:00LOVEWoops! I missed yesterday!! Here is my quintessential valentines picture. Strawberry, poppy seed pancakes (yes they are in the shape of a heart, I think our cook thoroughly enjoys cooking for a bunch of girls), my valentines from my students at the elementary school, and my coffee cup complete with a heart, thanks Starbucks.<br />
<br />
This is about as Valentine-y as it gets.<br />

I'm back! Photo challengeOk, so it's been a long while since I've posted. I've been back in the states, and to sum it up, it's been a hard transition. Remember when I said that I had fallen in love? Well I did...with Sweden. Everyday I do a little something to remind myself of the home and happiness I created while I was there. Listen to Swedish radio, read the newspaper, talk to my dad in Swedish, drink Swedish coffee, teach people here the art of fika, it's a perfect way to bring Sweden home with me.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I'm starting a one photo a day or maybe one photo a week challenge. Here's today's. My mom sent me flowers for Valentine's Day, a holiday I'm not so fond of, but when it comes to my parents, it's not all that bad. In any case, here are the beautiful flowers that made my day!<br />

I'm home now, in the states. Since last Wednesday. It took me a long time to get around writing this post because first of all, when have I have I ever been on time with writing my posts, and second of all, I just didn't want to write it quite yet. Leaving Sweden was a most tearful goodbye. I spent my last evening there soaking it all in the best way possible, going to another dinner at my auntie's parents house. We sat around the table for hours celebrating Miriam's birthday, laughing, talking, reminiscing, and eating of course. I sat there and thought to myself "this is Sweden." Sure you can go to Stockholm and see Gamla Stan, the Vasa, the archipelago, and Drottningholm. You could rent a car and drive the E4 up and down the country, but if you don't visit Swedes, you won't really see Sweden. I know I am very lucky and blessed to have so many wonderful people to visit in Sweden, mostly thanks to my dad for keeping in contact with such great friends, and I know I am blessed to have my own family there, whom I now like to call my Swedish family as opposed to just my relatives. My aunt is my Swedish mom and my cousins, well, they are more like my sisters now than anything else. I know very few visitors to Sweden have this opportunity, but it's so invaluable and it is with these people that you really see Sweden.<br />
<br />
Living the ins and outs of daily life with my aunt and cousins in their flat in Karlskrona, we quickly passed the "just visiting" phase of the sweet, extra sugary love you share when you only get to see a loved one every so often, and we dove into a much deeper bond, one that through the ebb and flow of daily life, was still strong enough to harness that sweet love but transform it into a deep, fiery love that you feel mainly towards very close family such as siblings and parents. Now if you aren't getting fed up with your cousins after living with them for nearly a month all together (2 weeks and 2 weeks), you know something is right. We got lucky all of us. After not spending hardly any time together as children, yet growing up knowing our only blood related cousins were far away in Sweden, when they first came to the US eight years ago, we all clicked. But it was that sweet visiting love, you know the kind when you genuinely love those people, yet you are still very well mannered and polite because you still don't know them that well? Then six years past before we saw them again. In those six years, we all went from children to young adults, growing up through our teens, making it through junior high and high school. The basis of relationships changes so drastically during this time that I was almost sure when the girls came back to the US the summer of 2009, we wouldn't have anything in common anymore and it would be so incredibly awkward and forced. To all of our surprise, we slipped back into our old shoes and picked up right where we left off in an older manner. So much had happened in our lives, both good and bad, yet somehow we got past our differences and focused on what made us family.<br />
<br />
My sister and I were exuberant when we found out we were able to go to Sweden the following summer of 2010, saying goodbye to the girls the summer previous, we didn't know how long our next pause would be before seeing each other again, another six years? Thankfully, we got to visit their home this time in Karlskrona and drank up our time together like it was some kind of elixir you can't get enough of. We took picture after picture, gave hug after hug, and kiss after kiss. It was again the feeling of not knowing when we would see each other again, one that gets worse with spending more and more time together. At this time, I wasn't sure if I would study abroad and Sweden or when it would be.<br />
<br />
The stars aligned and I made it back to Sweden for this crazy adventure to fulfill my lifelong dream. During my time this last semester, I learned so much about myself, a country which I can now call my own and my home, and my family. For the third summer in a row, I got to see the girls. This time just me and them and my auntie, for about two weeks on each end of my trip. It was glorious. We got to live not like cousins who live in a far away land across the world, but much like sisters.<br />
<br />
I could have studied abroad in Sweden and not had family, but I know my experience wouldn't have been as full, and fulfilling.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, I am missing these things about Sweden, but mostly missing Sweden in general.<br />
<br />
Splendid sunsets every night:<br />

We had a routine. After everyone went to sleep and the house was quiet, he would jump up onto the table and into the circle of my arms while they were on the keyboard. He would sit and purr while I typed away.</div>

In any case, my Christmas was most memorable and most Swedish. We started the celebrations at my aunt's sister Veronica's house for "Lille Julafton." It's the Christmas eve before Christmas eve. We arrived there in the afternoon in time for typical Swedish fika and lots of family. Like any gathering in this family, we all sat around the table with plenty of conversation and laughter flowing, cup of coffee after cup of coffee poured, Julmust sucked dry, and too many Swedish treats to choose from. Dinner came a little later complete with the essentials for a Julbord and dessert was complete with homemade cookies by none other than myself, Martina, and Emma. Meltaways, which, like their name, completely meltaway in your mouth and are to die for. With a hint of peppermint, they are fresh and light (despite all the butter that is used to make them....details not worth mentioning). Jul games were paired with efterrätt and the warmth of family scooped you up like the big comforting hugs of a grandpa. Christmas spirit was crescendoing up to Julafton and the magic of the day to come. But you know what? Even though Christmas itself is over, it's really not over. Not yet at least. It's not even New Year's yet! Christmas trees are still up lights are still lit, stars still hang in the windows, and adventsljusstake light up every window in the city. It's Christmas here until Epiphany, yet tomorrow I go home to 76 degrees and sunny, and probably many Christmas trees sadly abandoned on the street corner as a symbol that the season of warmth and love, family and giving, and of course, the coming of Christ has come to a halting stop. But in our house, Christmas lives on, at least until after New Year's, come into our doors and the overwhelming warmth of the season fits you like a cozy, snuggly sweater. Glögg on the stove, candles lit, trees up, tomtar out, and Christmas music still playing. It doesn't have to end so soon.<br />
<br />
On a happier note, my Christmas here was more than well spent! Julafton was started with lunch at my aunt's parents house with typical Swedish lutefisk (schnitzel for those of us who don't like lutefisk!), this was followed by a glögg fika with coffee to follow, pepparkakor, swedish cheese cake, and plenty of chocolate (Paradis...typical. The ones Babi brought to us all the time, remember?). During fika, Sweden shut down at 3pm went Kalle Anka started....like Avery said "Sweden shuts down when Kalle Anka comes to town!" Kalle Anka has been on at 3pm on Julafton every year for the past 50 or so years, with cartoon clips of many Disney films or morning cartoons we all love. It's on for an hour, and during that hour, the entire family is snuggled up in front of the TV singing along to the songs, reciting the lines, and announcing their favorite clip is next. Every year, it never fails, at 3pm. After Kalle Anka, by this time it's dark at 4pm, the "tomte" came and delivered our presents in two, heaping, overflowing sacks. When you come to this family, they don't treat you just like a guest, they treat you like family, and I received gifts as if I was one of the grandchildren. I couldn't believe the overflowing love and warmth I was showered with both on Christmas and during my entire time spent here. Yes, I am a blood cousin to the girls, but by no means did I ever expect to receive such acceptance into the family as one of their own. Today I was reminded of this yet again for my last dinner at my aunt's parents house. Three hours of eating, laughing, and conversation around the table. Much was the same around the Christmas table, however, it was also accompanied with schnapps. Lots of schnapps. And songs sung with your schnapps in the air and Christina's dad continually saying to me "this one is bottom's up Linnea." I didn't keep count. But with a julbord, there is so much food, and you sit around the table for so long, that it ends up to be somewhat insignificant. I will post pictures of the Julbord, of course. Miriam works for weeks starting with shopping and then beginning the cooking and somehow, she always manages to get the food out and ready and hot all at the same time. It's some kind of magic she's got, it's accompanied by this radiance that is constantly glowing. She kind and genuine and always happy to see us greeting us with open arms and the warmest of hugs. Although we don't speak much of the same language, somehow we manage to communicate. She always begins the meal with our "ok" to start by saying "så, varsagoda" and of course, she always goes last. She's a mormor.<br />
<br />
Anyway, dinner. I mean, I think Sweden is my heaven. Actually, I am sure of it. I told the girls I dislike Sweden because I love it too much. I want to buy everything in the stores for Christmas of course (other things too, like postcards with illustrations from books we had as a kid from Babi or Christina, or striped clothes, or smart Swedish design, smör knivar.....the list goes on) and the food. Oh let's not get started about that. Pepparkakor, ballerina, päron anything (saft, glass, milkshake, marmelad....), knäcke, soooooo much cheese like präst, herregård, svamp ost, ect., kiviks juice, JULMUST, LOKA, chocolate.....I told Martina I just want to pack Sweden into a bag. So therefore we have a love/hate relationship. Back to the julbord. OF COURSE there were meatballs, probably some of the best's I've had I must say (although Mamma's are still tip top), jul skinka ham, cheese, cheese, cheese (with kumin!), bröd, bröd, bröd, Johnsson's frestelse, pork ribs, sil, korv, prins korv, and my favorite....the kantarell omelet (one of the best things I have ever tasted). Oooooh it was heaven. Julmust was flowing out of my ears with the occassional schnapps and sip of Jul öl. It really doesn't get much better. It was delicious....jätte gott. Great food, a full table of happy family, beaming grandparents, and satisfied, plump stomachs. Laughing by a candlelit klad table in the winter garden and Swedish Christmas music softly singing in the background. I couldn't say I have been much happier. I had to stop myself and make a mental note of the evening as if to come back to it later and say to myself "remember that moment when you were so content?" I did this again tonight. This is why I love Christmas. It's so twinkly and cozy with candles, Christmas tree lights, cold winter air outside, and warm bodies of gathered family members inside. Cozy socks, warm sweater, flannel pajamas, and my favorite....snuggling on the couch with Emma while watching the best of Christmas movies. The Holiday and The Family Stone. Christmas dinner was followed by a generations old Swedish game in which you shoot a small marble with a wooden stick on a board strategically to have the ball land in slot to collect points. It was just a wooden board and marbles, and the entire family was happily playing around the table. Grötris ended the night and we were high on life with full stomachs and bodies filled with that magical feeling on Christmas.<br />
<br />
Now I write at the dark table, with the soft glow of the julstjärna in the window, the scent of spiced oranges wafting towards me, and the twinkle of the Christmas tree by my side. It's my last night in Sweden, and I leave tomorrow morning for the states. The semester I dreamt up since I was a child is over for now. I know I will be back, at least by summer 2013 if not before, or perhaps the girls will come to us next summer. We have to make up for all the time we didn't get to see each other as kids. We've made a pact. I'll be back someday for a longer stay in Sweden, this I am sure of. 6 months is no where near enough, perhaps two years of graduate study will feel less hasty, and well, you never know, maybe I'll just end up here with that "Swedish man" everyone was so sure I would find. Or perhaps Sweden itself will get a strong enough hold on me to never let go. We'll see. Tonight, my heart aches with the sadness of leaving not only a place I have learned to call home, but the place where my cousins live, my father grew up, and my mother's family came from. We've got strong roots here. It's more like moving away from home than coming back from my study abroad semester. Tomorrow will be a teary-eyed, heartfelt goodbye in hopes to see each other soon. Goodbyes are not my forté.<br />

<br />
Baking peppermint melting moments with Martina<br />
<br />
Snuggling up to movies<br />
<br />
Large family dinner at my aunt's parents house since my dad was here<br />
<br />
Shopping<br />
<br />
Quaint Christmas markets including one in a barn with free glögg!!<br />
<br />
Fika. fika. fika. fika.<br />
<br />
Christmas present wrapping at Christina's sisters house with only the girls. A cozy night with Christmas music, candlelight dinner, and presents up to your ears to wrap. Swedes have a very Swedish way of wrapping presents!<br />

It was entirely too difficult to leave Uppsala. I haven't posted since before I left because it was too painful. I felt as if I literally just got my heart broken...again. I have fallen hopelessly in love with Sweden, as I said in my last post. But it's true. I am trying to imagine my life once I get back to the states, and although I may know exactly how it will go, somehow, I can't place myself there. Because you see, Sweden stole my heart and doesn't plan on giving it up for a long time. Packing was overwhelming on so many levels. On the most practical note, I didn't know how I was going to fit everything into the three suitcases it came in, and let's be real, it didn't all fit. I had so much stuff I didn't even know where to begin. But, on a more emotional level, besides not knowing where to begin with the stuff in front of me, I didn't know where to begin with sifting through my emotions and saying goodbye. The first night I tried to pack, I sat in front of my empty suitcase and cried. I tried, I really did, but I couldn't bring myself to take my clothes out of my closet and place them neatly in my bag. It was more than just packing stuff into bags. It was the sadness that came with knowing that this wonderful chapter in my life was coming to an end. This place where I independently navigated my way through the ups and downs of everyday life, traveling alone, and living on my own. This place where my anxiety that comes with academia turned into an immense hunger for learning and knowledge, but in an environment that allows for time to relax, recharge, and be ready to learn. It is understood that studies are not your entire life, and one needs to have personal time to keep going in a healthy way. There are not many days at Willamette where I can sit by the river after class with a friend and talk about our life, our goals, and our dreams. There aren't many days when I can walk around downtown and enjoy the scenery, hustle and bustle, and watching people with their loved ones. There are not many days when my friend and I can go apple picking because it seems we are out from last weeks supply. There are not many evenings when I can enjoy the company of friends in a cozy apartment with the aroma of freshly baked rolls filling he house amid the twinkling lights of Christmas stars and candles. It is rare that I can enjoy a movie night with ice cream and cookies with the smell of snow to come. There are never any evenings when I can enjoy the company of my friend in a basement pub of a building built in the 1600s. There are never any evenings when I can dress up for a fancy dinner at our student run club and enjoy a 3 hour dinner with the company of old and new friends, Swedish traditions, and toasting with schnapps followed by live music afterwards.<br />
<br />
I love the city. It's the perfect balance of size between a town and a big city. It's got the charm of a small town but enough business to make it feel a little bigger than a quiet little stad. It's scenery is beautiful and the cafes are never ending along with their bottomless cups of coffee. It's cozy and it's got both lively student life, but also community life. It's a university town with it's own identity as well. It's antique character shines through and never takes a bad picture. A walk through town is enjoyable on so many levels. Especially at Christmastime with the lights in all the windows, and strung across the streets. Even though the sun doesn't bear much natural light at this time of year, Christmas makes up for it. Everyone warned me about the darkness and how much of a toll it can take on your emotions. I found that I embraced the darkness and learned to love it. No longer did you need to feel uneasy about walking around "at night" because nighttime is at 3:30 in the afternoon. And these short winter days make for stunning sunsets. The sky is a deep royal blue with a hint of violet and magenta as the sun begins to creep down around 1:45pm, or likewise, as it begins to creep up around 8:00am. It feels a bit magical, the sun going down so early, the starkness of night at 3:30, it's perfect for this time of year to snuggle up inside with candles and Christmas lights.<br />

Uppsala will always have a special place in my heart. The memories I have made there will last throughout my life and I know I will think back upon my time here in Sweden often. The semester of my dreams since I was a child has now been completed and many of my dreams have come true. I'm trying to continue to suck the marrow out of these last few days as my heart explodes with happiness, yet aches with the sadness that I must leave the place that has provided so many cherished memories, and became the place I called home for the last 5 months. Sweden has always been my other half, but the tension between life here and life at home in the states is much more of a battle now as I know life has so much to offer here and my family ties are much stronger. It would have been different had I studied in a completely foreign country without any personal ties or direct family ties. The tension of life there and life at home would exist, but it absolutely would not feel as a place I could equally call home. Sweden is so much of my life at home already, I know it will lure me back for longer in the years to come, and maybe, just maybe, it will steal my heart to keep. Until then, I know I will be back soon whether it's for a graduation, a wedding, or a graduate program and when I do come back, it will feel less like visiting the place where my father grew up and my relatives live, and more like visiting my second home.<br />

<br />
Today I realized I have hopelessly fallen in love.....with Sweden. This is going to be a tough break up, I already know. But we've got some good dates planned out for us for the time remaining. What can I say? I just can't help myself! If you were here, you would be swooned as well. It must be the Nordic light, that's why everyone here is so beautiful anyways, right? If the people are beautiful, the country has got to be even better, and it IS!!!<br />
<br />
I only have a week left in Uppsala (actually, a little less than a week) and my aching heart is already breaking. I cannot believe I am leaving already. I am just started to feel comfortable and settled, I'm picking up Swedish, learning the ins and out of Uppsala, and then BAM! I'm uprooted. I had pea soup for lunch today, no pancakes, had those for breakfast. While I ate my soup I sat and wrote a letter. When was the last time in the states that I had time to sit down and enjoy a bowl of soup on a winter day and write a Christmas card? I turned in my final paper yesterday, so today was my first official day of holiday until January 16th. Oh I soaked it up today, I really did. I woke up to the sun rising at about 8:20 and lazely made my coffee to sip while reading my book in front of the window to stare out into the winter wonderland that is Sweden. It was quiet and peaceful, and the snow was a bright, majestic pink. After finishing my coffee I decided it was time for breakfast in which I made some good old American pancakes. Boy were they yummy. With a little bit of apple cinnamon yogurt on top sprinkled with frozen berries, you've got yourself a delicious breakfast! After enjoying every last bite, with my full stomach, I got ready for the day and mozied on out to town where I grabbed my bowl of soup and enjoyed writing. I've made this list of things to do for myself and I am trying to check off every last one. So day was the Evolution museum. A place I have been DYING to visit all semester, but again, it's one of those places that is so close you never go until you absolutely have to, and then you realize it has so much to offer that you should have gone earlier. It was spectacular! I spent two hours in there looking at all the animals they had collected from all over the world! Some, I didn't even know existed. And who knew a moose is TALLER THAN A HUMAN!!! I mean, I knew they were big, but I never knew they were THAT big!! I wish I would have just gone earlier so I could see the entire museum in parts, rather than having to feel rushed to see the whole thing in one afternoon, and even then, I didn't end up having time to see all of the exhibits because it was closing. So I walked down the stairs of the Zoologisk Institution (a really fine building, very academic feeling with it's majestic white marble stars, old wooden doors, and the echoes of even the drop of a pin resonating throughout the hall) and peek out the window to notice the most deliciously beautiful sunset I think I have ever laid my eyes on. The sky was seeping with color and the moon was low on the horizon, almost full, and bright yellow against the rich nordic turquoise sky. Oh it was amazing. The sunset light was casting a pink glow over the city and I could see the moon just above the castle overlooking the botanical gardens, with the cathedral towers peeking behind. The ground was white, the air was chilly, and the trees were lit. It's almost too good to be true. Who wouldn't want to leave such beauty? Uppsala's got it all!<br />
<br />
Here's an idea of what it looked like as I didn't have my camera. But these are from the spectacular sunset the day before, when I was able to enjoy it from our roof top! (Keep in mind this is about 2:35 in the afternoon)<br />

Yesterday, Avery and I also enjoyed the afternoon in Cafe Linné and she worked on her paper while I wrote more Christmas cards after turning in my paper. It's so cozy, especially with snow on the ground. Snow somehow brings out the best in everything during Christmastime. The bells ring with more grandeur, the coffee brings more comfort, the world is more peaceful, the chairs in the cafe are much bigger and oversized than they were the day before and your body melts into them as their warmth wraps around you like you are being embraced by someone you dearly love, and the Christmas carols are much more jolly. The world is not only peaceful, it's deliciously, wonderfully cozy. The season bleeds with coziness, the very reason I absolutely love Christmas. Not to mention all of the magical traditions associated with it that differ from family to family and culture to culture. It's the time of year centered around the home and the homines of home, and outside of the home, the coziness of family nearby, warmth from the fire, and the twinkle from the lights and decorations. It's cookies, it's peppermint, it's hot chocolate and whipped cream, it's giving, it's evergreen, it's candles and lights, it's coats and scarves, it's red, it's glögg and lucia, it's a pine scented jingle bell jolly carol time of year. It really is....the MOST wonderful time of the year.<br />
<div>
And the fact that I am in Sweden where all of the Christmases of my childhood are right here right now. Everything we loved and savored is here. You don't have to go to the special store to buy the special stuff. Julmust is at the market, pepparkakor comes in every size, shape, and brand, lussekatter is in every window of every cafe display, the aroma of warm saffran slowly seeps out of the bakery and into the street, tomtar are on every decoration in every store, Lucia is in the cathedral, and her choir sings you to tears. This is my Christmas. This is everything we ever imagined at Christmastime from the Jenny Lind cards and the Swea Julmarknad. I feel so incredibly at home here, it's almost as if I feel more at home here than if I was actually at home. Julmust is so readily available, I could have it every day if I wanted! With that first tssssssssssssss after the cap was unscrewed of my first bottle of Julmust came an avalanche of childhood memories. Three twinkly eyed, blond headed children patiently awaiting the ok from our parents to FINALLY get our hands, and mouths, on that Julmust, that one night a year, on Christmas eve. We got to drink one bottle of Julmust with our Christmas smörgåsbord and that was it. Here, I've got a 1.2 liter bottle of it sitting in my room and pepparkakor sitting on my shelf. I made Lussekatter with my corridor mates, and again with Amy and Avery while we sipped warm glögg and nibbled on pepparkakor with bleu cheese. Everything that was so magical about Christmas that could only be found inside the wonderland of our house, is everywhere here! It's just so.....comforting. I wouldn't trade anything for a Christmas in Sweden. A real Jul. </div>
<div>
Next week I get to go to a real Jul bord as a goodbye dinner with the CIEE students and this weekend Avery and I are going to a Lucia gasque at our nation, both should be equally as traditional and equally as amazing.</div>

This is due to the fact that I have too many pictures on my computer and not enough memory left, I am in the process of deleting pictures to make room for the new ones, but it takes a while.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, I've been out and about around Europe and am about to embark on my last journey. As you know, at the end of October, I made my way down to Italy alone to meet some of the fantastic girls I met in Iceland. First, I went to Milan to visit my sweet friend Priscilla who lives there. I was blessed to be able to stay with her family in their flat for one day and two nights! Here I experienced real Italy. Homecooking....we're talking about a three course Italian meal every night by Priscilla's oh so dear Italian mother who talks with more emotion, expression, and hand movements than anyone I have ever met. The meals were splendid with a pasta plate, a salad of some kind, a meat of some kind. Rome was as oh so romantic as they all make it look. I'm pretty sure it knows it too, because city's got appeal 24 hours a day. We spent three days there together and probably walked well over 15 miles, no joke. Every morning we woke up around 8 to be out by 9 to grab our cappuccino, brioche, and be on our merry way. We would then walk all day sightseeing only to return back to the hostel around 11 or 12 and ready to crawl into bed feet throbbing, barely able to move. It was that complete exhaustion one experiences after you walk around Disneyland all day, multiplied by three. But hey "when in Rome" right? I saw the most important things and took thousands of pictures (are you surprised?). The Vatican was a zoo, I'm talking a line around the entire wall and a 2 hour wait. Did I already mention Disneyland? You get the picture. The food though. Oh the food. Every night in a little alley way, inside or out (yes, it was that warm!) by candlelight and under an awning we enjoyed each other's company over dinner that lasted a few hours. A couple glasses of wine and a plate of pasta later, we would waddle back to the hostel to do it again the next day. It was definitely stressful (missed my flight in Milan to Rome, credit card didn't work, ect.) but well worth it. I can't believe I just met those girls 4 months before! It feels like we have always been old friends.<br />
<br />
Next was Berlin. It was a lovely weekend trip with the best travel buddy this time (Avery). We were there a full Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and got to experience the sweet taste of life in a real home. Student corridors are great, but nothing compares to the warmth a family and dinner together around the table. Avery's family friends from home are living in Berlin from the year and graciously opened their beautiful flat to us for the weekend. We walked around town through parks with crunchy leaves and colors as if an artist took a paint brush and carefully painted each tree. The wind would blow and leaves would fall....autumn was in full bloom. We also cycled through the greater city to see its landmarks and enjoyed delicious Lebanese, Indian, and German cuisine. Nothing tugs at your heart like the strings of home, and after that weekend, I was reminded of how much I miss my family.<br />
<br />
Lastly, this dynamic duo (Avery and I) traveled to Prague last weekend for a splendid 5 day vacation. We were actually surprised at how much it did infact feel like a real vacation. We were kindly picked up at the airport by my dad's elementary school friend (amazing really.....keeping in touch oversees without seeing each other for years!) with no hastle whatsoever! No missed flights, no traveling to the middle of no where airport (Stockholm Skavsta, where we flew to Berlin from), just a simple 20 minute train ride to the airport and we were ready to get on the plane!! It was early in the morning, and these days, with such limited sunlight in these parts, the sun didn't pop it's head up until just before we left Sweden....at 8:30 in the morning. Yes, daylight is short and dark nights are long. The afternoon simply doesn't exist anymore and the sunlight at noon looks like the sunlight around 4 on a normal day. That was a side note. Anywho, Czech airlines was fancy pancy for us because we got fed AND we got coffee. Happy travelers. Richard and Jana graciously hosted us for the entire week (Sat. morn-Wed. night) and kept us overly fed (let me reiterate...overly. Babi's familiar voice began to ring in my head "Linnea, ve have more, ve have more! Eat more!!") Good thing the food was DE licious! NOM do I love Czech food!! However, I must say, nothing compares to home made knedliky, the restaurant kind just didn't cut it! (p.s. pappa, that means we gotta make some when I come home!) Avery and I also didn't get to try our family's absolute favorite....Czech potato salad (hint hint again Dad) I got to see so many things I would dream about as a child. My dad's flat, our family's previous summer cottage, and PRAGUE! We have lots of Czech stuff around the house including many pictures of Prague, so as a child I would build the city and imagine myself walking through it's fairytale-esque cobble stoned streets. Oh boy did I soak it all in! Castles, cobblestones, mist....I mean, what part of that sentence doesn't scream your favorite fairytale? It was a vacation alright. Avery and I found some good eats...and GREAT pubs! (Yes, beer is actually cheaper than water. Let's just say that H2O you always order to be more cost friendly? Yeah, it's twice as much as beer. Took me a while to catch onto that).<br />
Ok, anyway, enough for the talking, let's see some pictures!!! First will be Prague since I haven't uploaded the others yet.<br />
<br />
(for SOME reason, now I can't upload my pictures at the moment, SO, check out Avery's blog for pics here http://swededream.blogspot.com/)<br />

I'm sure you all understand the present situation. Me+Italy+Camera=plenty and plenty of pictures. They are juicy and luscious and oh, I can't wait to show you. (But first I must delete photos on my computer to make room for the new ones, the main reason why photos haven't been posted lately). Rome was everything I dreamed of and more. It's beauty radiates both by night and by day 24 hours 7 days a week. Simply put, it is stunning. However, I am the world's worst traveler, I have come to this conclusion as traveling (especially alone....in a foreign country) is incredibly stressful for me. Put two and two together and you've got an ugly situation at hand which involves lots of running, bags flying, jackets falling, scarves unravelling, and worst of all, beads of sweat forming and dripping all over. It's bad when you arrive in the airplane (or train) huffing and puffing while you sweat and peal off three layers including scarves, hats, and gloves, or even worse, when you arrive and the vehicle has left.....early. I have found that international traveling alone for me involves lots of the above stated occurrences, along with crying and frantic outbursts. We're working on it and Mr. Journal really is a trooper I have to say, fellow takes on a heavy load through those pages and pages of text. But journal delivers and through those long winded writing bursts comes learning and tranquility for me. So for now, it's a work in progress, me and traveling. We've got a love hate relationship because traveling is really good at luring me in and we begin the aforementioned cycle that always has a magnificent ending for so many reasons; the most important being that I traveled, I did it, I made it, I'm alive, I <i>saw </i>something new, I experienced something new, and I did it "all by myself." There you go Mamma. Oh, the places you go indeed. I guess growing up has its way of making it into any situation, no matter how hard you try to stop it {sometimes}.<br />
<br />
Anyway, been up since 4:30 this morning and I am happily enjoying being home with my snuggly bed, cozy room, and best of all, my clean {let me reiterate, VERY clean} shower. All anxiety left my body as I boarded the plane for Arlanda airport knowing I would be home soon and all the perils of traveling would soon be over. I landed in what I now call home and was welcomed by that looming blanket of darkness that is beginning to win the battle against the daylight for more hours on its side. 4:25 pm we landed and it was no different from 10:25. Sun sets tomorrow at 3:53 and rises at 7:12. With the start of November is the start of drinking up those diminishing hours of daylight and running with them. All Swedes seem to agree that November is the worst month. I guess this means more time for cozy sweats, sweaters, socks, scarves, blankets, tea, and candles. Christmas is creeping in everywhere, airport's already got the big wreaths with lights, and lights are making their way into the trees in town, am I excited? You bet chyah! I am home and it feels good....for all of 1 and a half days. Berlin is next. Pictures to come soon, I promise!!Linnea Hardlundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457575168865616395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831452623393961144.post-148197885064920792011-10-26T14:51:00.000-07:002011-10-26T14:51:39.941-07:00When in Rome...I have taken a Roman Holiday...literally. Tonight I am in Milan staying at the home of my friend Priscilla who I met in my group in Iceland and tomorrow we will travel the city together and look around. Friday we will meet a few other girls from Iceland in Roma!! It is so wonderful to be able to stay in an Italian household to really experience the culture and the daily life!

(Can you tell I am practicing my Swedish?) Whew! It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks here and I can't believe I haven't written in nearly two weeks!

With that, I leave for the night, but will be back tomorrow. Gear up for some reading....otherwise known as the really long post. Gamla Uppsala and more goodies!!Linnea Hardlundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457575168865616395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831452623393961144.post-52864350767132152142011-10-12T07:11:00.000-07:002011-10-12T07:14:58.470-07:00birthdays, friends, cakes, surprises, and fall as the icing on topA little over a week ago, I turned 20. It's weird to say that I'm 20. It seems so old. I've lived for two entire decades! In any case, it was probably my favorite and most memorable birthday. On thursday night before my birthday, a few of my friends and I went out and hit the town for the best Uppsala had to offer on a regular Thursday night. Just before midnight, we ended up by the riverside to ring in my birthday and the mild, balmy temperature must have tempted us all to jump in for a birthday swim. When else is it socially acceptable to swim while screaming in a river? Only when you turn 20. So I did it. Usually I don't do such ridiculously sounding things, but then, that's what makes life interesting right? I want my life's novel to have a little bit of fun! Ooooh, the water was cold, but it was memorable and it will never be forgotten. To aid our chills, we all sprinted home on our bikes and jumped into the sauna (each building has a sauna, perks of living in Sweden). In the morning, the sun shone brightly and it was incredibly warm. I mean, incredibly. It was about 70 degrees. That's no lie. I was sweating as I was cycling. Fall was in full bloom and everywhere I looked I felt as if I had just stepped into some kind of painting. The colors popped, and the city bustled with life as everyone wanted their fair share of soaking up the sun. After class, I met Avery and we joined Amy for a lovely lunch outside at Linné cafe. I know it's kind of cliché, but it was so worth it. My caesar salad was amazing, and what was even better was the blueberry princesstårta Avery and I shared. It was a slice of heaven.<br />

Anyway, after our lunch in the sun, we enjoyed another visit to the last day of the Linnaeus garden right across the street. It was just as lovely as the day before, and I wanted to buy everything in the gift shop! It was a perfect harmony of typical Swedish, with Carl Linnaues, all wrapped up in nature! How could it be any more perfect for me? :) Here are some pictoral recaps. The garden popped in the wonderfully golden rays of the sun.<br />

I arrived home and was getting ready to go to Karlskrona for the weekend when a friend text me and said to come over immediately, as I arrived in the corridor, I was hurriedly stopped by Charlotte at the entrance to the corridor as she yelled to Babsi that I was there. I had no idea what was going on and finally, I was allowed into the kitchen and I was greeted by the most beautiful looking princesstårta I have ever seen along with many excited "happy birthdays" from friends and some screaming on my part in overwhelming happiness and surprise. It was beautiful and wonderful, and I almost couldn't bring myself to cut it and eat it. Babsi and Charlotte worked on the cake for two days straight and Thursday Babsi sadly couldn't join Charlotte and I for an afternoon on the river, little did I know Charlotte had to distract me from coming over to their corridor :) I have never in my life heard of anyone making a homemade princesstårta, but Babsi took on the challenge because she knew how much I loved it so much. It was really one of the best birthday presents and birthdays I could ever ask for :)<br />

After a cake celebration, Avery and I cycled to the train station to catch our train at 8:10, or so we thought, once on the train, we realized we didn't leave for another two hours. This was just the beginning of our train adventures that night. By the end of the night, we were just laughing at the idea of "did this really just happen?" Stories to come. More birthday celebrations were to be had. Stories and pictures to come. I'm a little behind, playing catch-up. My 20th birthday was definitely a day to remember :) Thank you to everyone who even played the smallest part in making it such a wonderful day!! It's amazing to feel so loved even when I am thousands of miles away from home, and it fills me with joy that new friends in Sweden are becoming such meaningful friends, as is evident from my cherished memories of this week! Thank you to everyone! :)Linnea Hardlundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457575168865616395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831452623393961144.post-70636430031687059642011-10-05T15:38:00.000-07:002011-10-05T15:38:25.106-07:00last day of being a teenager<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">

My birthday last week was perhaps the best ever. I have so many people to thank for making it such a special, wonderful day filled with memories that will last a life time! Festivities started on Thursday when class lasted for a mere 10 minutes. Afterwards, two of my friends and I decided to go to the Linnaeus museum and garden before it closed on my birthday (how coincidental). We enjoyed the last flowers of the garden and the warmth of the sun (I even had to take my tights off!) and took some pictures. We then took a tour of the museum of which used to be Linnaeus' home right here in Uppsala! It was a lovely little home right in front of the garden....talk about a view! </div>

Charlotte and I then grabbed lunch at a favorite cafe of mine and Avery's called Ofvandahl's. Their sandwiches are delicious and they offer a generous student discount! We took our sandwiches and coffee to the river side and sat and chatted for hours soaking up the sun, the warmth, and each other's company. We both agreed we can never enjoy such lovely, small things in life during the school year since we are always busy trying to fit everything into one day. It was just wonderful to sit and enjoy the water's edge, the people, and life. Finally we have found a balance between school and life that allows time for academia and learning, but also for enjoying days like Thursday and taking it what daily life has to offer. These are the things that keep us sane day in and day out, it's no wonder that when I am at Willamette stress has it's way of creeping in and taking over, I don't have time to sit and enjoy the water's edge on a Thursday afternoon. Academic life here is both appalling and refreshing. I can't believe university can be so relaxed while also managing to get everything done. It is so refreshing to be able to study in an environment where stress is the last thing that is cultivated. Here is where I have found my learning style. Charlotte agreed and beyond talk of school, we were able to enjoy many more meaningful conversation topics with each other. The breeze blew warm bursts of air, the leaves shivered and fell, the sun shone a bright golden yellow, and the people flocked the streets to soak it all in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As if the day hadn't already been full of good friends and conversation, I was also able to enjoy two birthday skype calls which made the day even better! I was finally able to talk with Emilie for a long while and forgot how much I missed her presence and the friendship we have. I was also able to skype with a few lovely girls from the house and both put a smile on my face! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thursday was, as Charlotte's way of saying it "the day we celebrated your last day as a teenager." There was celebration to be had and memories to be made.</div>

Remember when I said I decided it was going to be fall? Well, this week, fall has delivered, big time. I think my love for this time of year grows with every autumn I spend where leaves turn, temperatures drop, apples grow, and the breezes turn from cool to crisp. The only thing missing this autumn is a good old pumpkin spice latte and some pumpkin itself. Otherwise, I have been taking part in what autumn has to offer these days. This week, my schedule for toxicology has been significantly less than that of last week and the weather has just been so perfect, this only means one thing....get out! More on this later.<br />
My busy week last week ended with a wonderfully relaxing friday night with Avery as we both couldn't muster up the energy to go out. Instead, we decided to take the liberty to cook a yummy dinner and watch a movie, oh, and let's not forget that ice cream was included! Our first time buying ice cream at ICA and oh boy did we discover a hidden treasure! First of all, ICA sells that delicious ice cream I got when I was in Stockholm a few weekends back....saffron honey. It's the kind of ice cream that makes your eyes roll into the back of your head with pure indulgence. We are hoping to make some wonderfully delicious ice cream cake soon! We curled up and watched a chick flick (yes, the Notebook, for those of you wondering). Saturday we worked fika at our nation and then enjoyed another night in due to exhaustion from a long day's work. Sunday, oh Sunday was such a lovely day. I woke up a little later and lounged in my room to the sounds of fall outside and the scents of fall inside while I worked on (trying) to write for my toxicology class. Avery then texted me and we decided to take advantage of the fall weather and ride our bikes to town for some fika at Cafe Linné. First of all, Cafe Linné is located on Linnegatan right across from the street of the Linnaeus garden (which conveniently celebrated it's last day open for the season on my birthday) and Linnaeus' house. As if this already doesn't make it the coolest place in town, the spread of pastries was to die for and the atmosphere inside is cozy and comfy, perfect for those lonely November days when the daylight is diminishing and the winter cold is creeping in. Sunday was different, we ordered coffee and sweets (Avery had a HUGE meringue and I had a cookie with banana cream and white chocolate on top) and sat outside for a good two and a half hours enjoying the fall weather, people watching, working on some Swedish homework, and some good old conversation. It was a lovely way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon!<br />
<br />
Monday morning I woke up to the sun pouring light through the yellow leaves of the trees outside my window. It was a warm morning and I was able to cycle to class without a heavy coat. After class, a few of us went into the center to grab some things and after most of us dispersed, my friend Babsi and I decided it was too nice of a day to just go home. We hopped on our bikes and rode to my nation for their daily organic soup lunch for a mere 35 SEK!! That is a bargain for a full lunch, or meal for that matter! The soup was amazingly yummy with leek, potato, carrot, peas, and lots of other veggies. It came with creme fraiche on the side, along with a really good salad with apple and the best bread I have possibly ever tasted. We sat outside and enjoyed the sounds of fall and the opportunity to have a quality, one-on-one conversation. After we left my nation, we decided to try to get lost and ended up at the castle overlooking Uppsala. It was just breathtaking! I was cringing the entire time without my camera. The city is beautiful from above, and it was spotted with red and yellow trees! We then decided to try and get more "lost" and go to one of the city's forests. We didn't get lost, but we did end up in a forest where we wandered around looking for mushrooms and enjoying each other's company. I love when I get to spend quality time with a new friend and make lasting memories. The breeze blew and the leaves shivered and we meandered around the forest in hopes of finding some dinner. It was lovely to see another part of the city I have not explored yet, and better yet, it was spent with a new friend!<br />
<br />
Tuesday was not as eventful as I was writing all day (no class, woohoo!) but Avery and I did go apple picking which included climbing an apple tree to grab some fruit and filling our bags with enough apples for the week. Who needs a grocery store when you have apples practically in your backyard? Oh, I love fall.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we only had class for about 10 minutes and then we cycled home and I had the girls over at my place this time for some lunch. These girls are from my toxicology class, and they also live in Avery's corridor, so we often have lunch and/or dinner together, and we get to spend the days together in class. Charlotte and Teddy are from the Netherlands and Babsi is from Germany. The three of them came over for lunch and we all cooked curry together and then headed to my room for a fika complete with buns! During our conversation, favorite movies came up, and it was discovered that Teddy had never seen The Notebbok. So, we decided then and there that we were going to watch it. What the heck....it was gray outside, we were all cozy anyway, and we had nothing else to do! So we all curled up on my bed with some fall candles lit and watched The Notebook on my computer. Yeah, it's sappy and cheasy, but we all sat together crying on my bed, but it was cozy and it was lovely, and that's all that matters. It was an afternoon well spent with good friends!<br />
<br />
The week continued on with wonderful memories and unexpectedly warm, sunny weather. More to come. Pictures to come.Linnea Hardlundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457575168865616395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831452623393961144.post-55818631608066262902011-09-27T15:22:00.000-07:002011-09-27T15:22:05.254-07:00Stockholm igen<br />
These past few weeks have brought both a bit more busyness and a few changes. My class time last week was about 6 hours a day for toxicology and 2 hours two days a week for Swedish, so I've been keeping myself busy. Here's an overview of my recent adventures:<br />
Last weekend, my CIEE program took all 8 of us to Stockholm for an archipelago tour paying for our train tickets roundtrip, our boat tickets, and our lunch. It's not often that one can say they only spent 7 dollars for a day in Stockholm, but I did just that! We left in the morning and it was a bit chilly and overcast when we left Uppsala, but the train ride was a lovely time to chat with Avery and Amy (our assistant program coordinator, getting her Master's at Uppsala). Upon arriving in Stockholm, autumn tried to be on its best behaviour. We had about an hour or so to spare before our train left, so we grabbed a most delicious cup of coffee (Arvid Norquist.....for you Swedes) and enjoyed the narrow cobblestoned streets screaming with color. The colors of the buildings make even the greyest days seem a little bit brighter. The coffee was perhaps my best cup in Sweden thus far and the cafe was even better. The aroma of fresh coffee and bullar was overwhelming right as you passed through the doorway. It was like a warm bakery hug that makes you want to stay there all day to be cradled in its arms. And oh the pies...they looked delicious, hallon, blåbär (my favorite) och äpple, freshly morning made and just waiting to fill your mouth with their warm, explosive flavor. I restrained myself and just stuck to the coffee (keeping costs down). However, I didn't have much time to enjoy my coffee because we quickly realized it was later than we thought and we had to make it back around the harbor before our boat left. Coffee was gulped down and speed walking turned into running to make it just in time before the boat pulled out of the dock. This left us in a small predicament....no more seats. It had just started to drizzle outside, and the wind was picking up as we headed out on the water, so standing outside was both undesirable , and unphotogenic. We sat inside for a bit while the rain passed, and headed for the stern and enjoyed crisp autumn breezes as we snaked between island after island. The air was just chilly enough to make your nose cold and runny and your cheeks a tad bit rosy, the leaves were beginning to turn, and scarves fluttered in the wind while coats kept us warm. The houses out on the islands were again, so swedish and so gorgeous, Avery and I found our future homes :) After our boat tour, we were given open-ended train tickets to go back to Uppsala, so Avery and I decided to head back to Gamla stad to stroll through the shops with the intention of ending our day with none other than a scoop of ice cream! Here are some photo re-caps.<br />

But we have settled into this routine that is less summer and more fall. In the three weeks that I have been here, summer has quickly dwindled and fall has encroached on its place. The days are getting darker earlier (around 7:30 as opposed to about 8:45 or 9), the clouds seem to be settling in to their permanent positions, and oh, the wind blows. It blows and it howls. It's very fall-like. It's brisk and chilly, the leaves shimmer and the air cuts at your face. Today is a perfect autumn day, and the first time I really realized the bliss of summer is long gone. Summer left quietly, leaving it's footsteps for fall to come and fill in from behind. The days are colder and it rains more frequently. Swedish weather is more indecisive than Oregon's weather, yes, that's right, I know it's hard to believe. I woke up the other morning to a slightly overcast sky which quickly turned into a stormy downpour 2 minutes before I hopped on my bike to ride to class. I ride my bike everyday rain or shine. Although, I did just recently read about the the physics/mathematics behind the reasoning for getting so much more wet when riding a bike or running vs. walking. The verdict: walking keeps you much drier. We already know this from daily observation, but the it was quite fascinating to read the reasoning behind it, and put that thought to rest. I found myself thinking about it as I rode in the the morning, or before I went to bed. Anyhow, today was particularly autumn-y and I decided today was my first real day of fall since I got to Sweden. It has been autumn weather for some time now, on account of the significantly higher number of rainy days to sunny days, and the drop in temperature. One thing is for sure....I can't wait to FINALLY get my bag with fall/winter goodies. (Oh, that's been a riot....getting my bag which has been here for a week already. I think I should finally have it in my hot little hands tomorrow, fingers crossed)<br />
Today I noticed a lot more fall foliage, and I am hoping to see much more in the coming weeks. The weather today is slightly overcast with the sun peaking in ever so often, the wind blows and you can hear the leaves dancing. This is why I decided today was my first day of fall, despite what the equinox tells us. After lab this morning, I decided to carpe diem and read in the botanical gardens across the street from the EBC (Evolutionary Biology Center), as we call it. Rather, the bio area. I packed a sandwich, apple (of which I picked myself, another sign of autumn in Sweden), and a cookie. I found a bench next to the pond where I enjoyed my lunch and some reading time. On my bike ride home, I saw children playing outside all suited up in their new season's clothes and at one particular playground when the sun was shining, I peered in to see a bunch of little glowing heads. All I could do was smile. Just past this playground, I had to slow down my bike on the trail for children crossing, There was a teacher in the front holding a rope that all the children behind had their grip on, they were all suited up in their identical rain suits which look like construction suits complete with reflectors. They looked like little ducklings following their mamma. I think they were about 3 or so, and by the looks of it, they were also headed to the playground. Needless to say, my bike ride home was entertaining and very enjoyable.<br />
Today I am taking the liberty to rest and relax a bit as my week goes on with 4 lab days in a row, today was a short day sandwiched between two very long, very exhausting days in the lab. I haven't ever spent this much time in the lab as we only have 3 hour labs at Willamette for every one class. Sometimes labs can take longer, but usually we are all too busy to spend any more time than required in the lab. Here, it's different, We haven't had lecture since Monday and the rest of the week is primarily lab time. I need to rest to try to get over this mucinex monster that has taken over my body. My nose is stuffy and runny and my cough persists. So, Avery and I are going to enjoy fika and possibly an afternoon in town. We'll see where the wind blows us! ;)<br />
<br />
Here are some things I have learned so far in Sweden:<br />
<br />
1) ICA supermarket does not and will not accept international packages<br />
2) It is very difficult to do what would be considered very mundane errands in the states....namely, pick up packages! Also, go to the doctor, go to the phone store, have a phone for that matter (you don't have a plan here through verizon for example, you just get a SIM card and fill your phone with minutes, but the DO have plans.....kinda, each plan has different rates and oh it's a joy when you finally figure out that some rates are skyrocketed with one plan vs. another.)<br />
3) Sweden really likes the number system, you've got to take a number for EVERYTHING, I guess it's somewhat efficient, but it also seems like a sad waste of paper. I guess they do have about 300,000 trees per person (this is an actual statistic)<br />
<br />
Sorry folks, no pictures today. Weather hasn't been conducive to picture taking. Hopefully soon I can snag a picture of my sweet bike! Happy fall!Linnea Hardlundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457575168865616395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831452623393961144.post-75711514233204650452011-09-11T16:34:00.000-07:002011-09-14T05:13:01.081-07:00What goes up must always come down.....Another week in Uppsala has brought its fair share of new experiences abroad for me. The week started off on a very high note when I FINALLY got a bike! It's pretty nice I would say, and I got it for a great price! Bikes are in high demand here in Uppsala, so you've got to scoop up a good deal if you see one. It is so much easier to get around town and get to class without relying on the bus and my commute to the city center has been cut from 40 minutes, to just 8 minutes. I am excited to explore the city by bike!<br />
Tuesday morning I woke up early in time to make my 8am lab. Something felt a little off, but it wasn't enough to keep me from going to class, so we rode our bikes and started lab work. Over the course of the 4 hours lab lasted, my ill feeling went from mild to unbearable as I was almost in tears by the time I left. I could feel my pulse in my temples, my neck hurt, my back ached, and I felt flush. I couldn't concentrate on the lab procedure and once I finally made it back to my room, I remembered a thermometer I had in one of my coat pockets from the last time I was sick at the end of spring semester and took my temperature. The thermometer read 100 degrees and I instantly got into bed. Thankfully, Avery brought me some soup and bread and another friend brought some tea and crackers. I stayed in bed all day, despite the beautiful warmth and sunshine present outside. I got up just to use the restroom and heat up my soup again for some dinner.<br />
The next day, I luckily didn't have any class, I took it easy and Avery and I met Amy, one of our program coordinators for organic soup lunch at our nation. I was feeling much better (no fever) and just had a little tinge of a sore throat. I thought for sure it was just a quick flu and I would be good for the rest of the week. After a long lunch full of yummy food and good conversation, Avery and I went to the grocery store and headed home to make some dinner before our first Swedish class. Thursday we enjoyed Sweden's favorite lunch on a Thursday, pea soup and pancakes. We are hoping to partake in this tradition often! The pea soup was yummy, but the pancakes weren't as good as my Mom's :) That morning however, it decided to start raining 2 minutes before I was ready to hop on my bike and head to class. I debated taking the bus, as the rain was coming down pretty hard, but in the end, we decided against it and attempted to cycle. I am now going to invest in a big, yellow rainsuit. On our 6 minute ride to class, we got entirely soaked. My jacket soaked through and my shirt underneath was wet, my pants were so wet that the water was running down my legs, and my boots got soaked through. After class, the first thing I did was hop into a warm shower to cure my chills. On Friday, I didn't have class until the afternoon, so I was hoping to get some work done in the morning and soak up the sun that was out. (every sunny moment these days has to be taken advantage of before the rains move in permanently) However, upon waking up, my symptoms of sickness took another turn for the worst as my throat was so sore I could hardly swallow. After taking a look at it with my trusty headlamp and seeing what looked like strep, I quickly headed to the doctor. Luckily, after my throat swab results came back, I found out it wasn't strep and the nurse told me it was then a viral tonsillitis and there was nothing more she could do. Now I am letting the virus take its course and using good old remedies like drinking lots of tea with lots of honey and lemon and eating a lot of garlic to hopefully ward off my sickness. I don't know how much they are working, but it's the thought that counts. Currently, I am left with symptoms of a cold, I've got a cough, a stuffy nose, and a slightly sore throat. Hopefully this week my sickness will clear up admist the rain in our forecast.<br />
Yesterday was a great day as I was able to go on a tour of Uppland, the province here in Uppsala. I got to go the one and only Carl Linnaeus' HOUSE! Oh, it was amazing. The desk where he wrote his books, the cabinet where he developed his classification system, AND I got to see a plant he actually planted himself. No kidding, they took DNA samples of specimens in his herbarium and compared them to specimens still in the garden and found a couple of exact matches. Now, I know this isn't cool to all of you non-botany geeks, but bear with me. This is like the closest to Carl Linnaeus I will ever be. It was a dream come true, really. I soaked up every minute of it and more. The day was beautifully sunny with the most wonderful clouds, white and puffy (perfect for cloud watching) and the countryside was absolutely beautiful. There was forest, farmland, and open fields. It looked and felt like we were in a story book. Oh, it was just gorgeous. A moving postacard, really. There was only one problem, when we got out of the bus at Linnaeus' cottage, I take out my camera (obviously) to snap a photo of my first view, and I come to find the battery is entirely dead and I did not have my spare. Thankfully, Avery let me use her camera from time to time! After Linnaeus' house (where I could have easily spent all day), we drove to a castle right on Lake Mälaren where we got a personal guided tour for our group and had lunch (who doesn't enjoy having lunch at a castle??). It was beautiful and we even got to snag a couple of apples from the orchard on our way out! Lastly, we made our way back through storybook land to Sigtuna, Sweden's oldest city. Like I said, storybook land. There was a race just finishing through the town's main street that looked like loads of fun. Since we got there at the end though, we were able to walk through the main street and check out the shops after all. I got some wonderfully delicious tea for really cheap and Avery and I broke away from the formal tour and strolled around town on our own. We browsed through the shops, walked down small streets where flowers were blooming in front yards, and apples were left in a basket for welcomed guests. Our stoll took us down by the water where we sat and enjoyed deeeeeeeelicous ice cream. I know, I had delicious ice cream last weekend, too, what can I say? Sweden has got some amazing ice cream flavors. This time, I enjoyed my good ol' favorite pear :) Here are some pictures of Saturday's tour (photo credits mostly to Avery) and some of my first week in Uppsala for you to enjoy! (including pictures from Linnaeus' botanical gardens where university students get in for FREE!! does it get any better?!)<br />
