I AM BACK ON THE MAP!

HIYA FOLKS! sorry it took so long for me to write on here! i have been back for a week now i think and have been happily doing nothing the whole time :D Well besides homework (when i can focus long enough lol...) and running (YAY... i am sooo pathetic right now, i cant even run a whole mile without being pretty winded and having to walk some....) and cleaning my room (veeeeery slowly...). Got my schedule fix up, these are my classes for first semester: Theater Arts 2 rotating with Art and Design, then Algebra 2 Trig, Clothing 2 alternating with AP European History and last but certainly not least American Literature and Composition Honors! woooooo! and for el secondus semester i have: Algebra 2 Trig and then French 2 and then Psychology 1 alternating with AP European History and finally Physics. TA DA! i am not sure whether i will actually be taking Physics or not, i want so see how AP Euro and Algebra 2 is first ^_^ so i might switch it out for Drawing and Painting 2 alternating with Web design or something like that if i think its to hard. OH! i also got a car kinda :D lol well its officially registered in oregon to me and it has insurance under my dad and i get to use it, but my mom will probably need it for when she is in the states lol and since Rocinante (namesake of the wonderful little toyota) is Don Quixote's horse first i will let her use it whenever she needs it. Hopefully she wont need it much though! She is applying for Swedish residency! i think thats pretty cool, and it means that i can visit her there, she has even mentioned even driving to Paris! (you can, there is a tunnel under the sea to Denmark or somewhere near there) which for me is SO TOTALLY AMAZING. so lets all keep our fingers crossed! :D

The time between leaving Sweden and getting home was pretty epic, we stayed at a house that my mom's friends were out of for two weeks (with permission....) for about a week. We did a lot that week, mom in particular. it was so great going through the storage unit that had everything that my mom had left in the us besides what she brought back from Sweden for her trip and Rocinante. I got so much stuff :P mostly costumes and books, because i need so much more of them :D then we drove through bend and dropped stuff off (sorry i didnt stop so say hi to anyone) then went to portland and hung out with my grandpa Ben and Lisa his wife and my Auntie Tana and her kids Selene and Isabell ^_^ i really like them, particularly Selene, she is 13 and pretty cool :) so while we were with Tana we went to this really AMAZING food place, i would recommend it. it was the best restaurant food i have had since the Grove, and that is saying something, they had me at soup appetizer... it was just a simple tomato bisk, but it was soo yummy.... and then i had this salad.... i was in love! it had pine nuts and this wonderful vinaigrette.... and then i had a burger (sans bun of course) that was nummy and then they had this chocolate wheat free tort! it was so chocolatey and good with berries (raspberries and blackberries and blueberries) suffice to say it was good.... and if you are ever in portland go to The Observatory, yup. it was even beautiful in there! their decorations were so cool, like lots of bare light bulbs hanging at different heights and such, there were these really neat pieces of art that were like paintings but in wax, i forget what it is called, and the music was really fun, deathcab for cutie and such :) really nice atmosphere :) so go there! lol then we went to some city between Santa Barbara and San Fransico and gave Paddy to his dad... i miss the bugger.... .... anyway, then we stayed at Clayton's for a night and then we went to Padme's ( i love her! lol oh and it was cool because she is going to burning man, might even be there now!, so we got to watch prep for the playa) and we stayed with her and her roommate Peter for two nights and then went and stayed at Fiona and Ryan's for a night, then drove to oregon! lol yeah, pretty epic :) to all my dearest of dear friends i will give better details another time, because we need to get together my sisters and i have been separated far to long! lol

love
