Day 18

This morning we were all up early to attend all the graduations that were going on for each of the different grades. We had to be at the school's gym at 9 am for My's and Fanny's graduation. Then at 10:15, Karin and I walked over to one of the classrooms to watch Pontus get his name called by his teacher for completing the grade. After that, we waited for My's class to walk over to the classrooms for the students to accept their grades from their teachers. Once the students accepted their grades, we had "fika" where there were different kinds of cakes and coffee for everyone. A very popular cake here in Sweden is a version of our strawberry shortcake, so there were tons of those. Karin and I walked over and tried some of the cakes from Fanny's class because the treats that My's class brought didn't look as appetizing, haha. Once all of that was finished, we walked back to the house. I read for awhile and then decided to lay out until all the family arrived around 2, and while waiting my package from home came! YAY! ;) 


We had smorgastorta for lunch, which they call in english sandwich cakes. It's sandwich bread layered 3 times with a spread in between each slice and then on top there are different toppings. There were 3 different ones at the house, and I tried all 3. I thought they were all really good. Then they had fika again with another version of the same cake, so I had a couple bites, but was full from the smorgastorta. 


I sat around and read awhile and then dozed in my room for about 30 minutes, and then decided to go workout on the elliptical machine in the garage. I did that for an hour and then did 500 punches on their punching bag. After cooling off for awhile, I rode my bike to Ingrid's and me, her, and Kelsey walked to a small field a couple minutes away so I could catch Ingrid while she pitched. The bugs were TERRIBLE in that grass field... I thought I was being eaten alive by them, and I'm pretty sure my neck has about 50 bites on it. 


Anyways, after walking back to their house, I rode the bike back home, showered, made a salad for dinner, and then rode the bike back over to watch The Island. The movie ended at 12:30 am, and I just got back to the house from riding my bike back. Even it being 12:30, it still wasn't pitch black outside, but my bike has a flashlight on the front that turns on when I pedal so I was good to go :) 


That's been my day today. I'm exhausted now so I'm heading on to sleep. I don't know what tomorrow holds for me!
