Konstigt och Kul...

Forst och framst vill jag be om ursakt for den longa vantan for en ny post. Jag ska forsoka forklara varfor det tagit sadan tid.

Sen har jag beslutat mig for att inte bara skriva pa engelska da allt annat jag gor ar pa detta sprak.

Ok.. Jag hadde vall tankt beratta vad som hant. Min vardag och de speciella saker som hant.

(Det ar betty och sam pa den forsta bilden)

Den 20 augusti dagen innan min fodelse dag tog Sam och Betty mig till en "Western" resturang for att bjuda mig pa fodelsedagsmiddag. Det var mycket trevligt. Jag at pesto tortelinis med sallad och de at en biff sa stor att den skulle kunna foda en person i afrika for en vecka. De sa till personalen att det var min fodelsedag. De sjong en valdigt trevlig, standarliserad song med yterst anstrangda leenden pa sina lappar. Det var kul att titta pa. Sarskilt en sag ut som om hon atit skamd fisk och tvingades att le. Ett mycket interessant leende. Nar sjungit fardigt sa klappade de hander i tva sekuder och forsvann.
I Kalifornia far man ta med sig sitt eget vin till resturangen om de inte serverar det. Resturangen tar dock ut en avgift for att oppna flaskan at dig. den kan ligga pa allt ifran 2 till 50 dollar beroende pa resturangens anseende.
Jag fick en present ifran Sam och Betty. Pa nagon marklig vanster hade Betty letat upp en marklig svensk grupp kallad "Dungen" och kopt deras CD till mig. Mycket marklig musik. =)
Sina den Tyska utbutesstudenten hade fragat ut mig pa date sa Sam slappte av mig hos hennes familj. Hon ville se en film sa vi fick skjuts till biografen i "Downtown Santa Rosa". Hon lurade mig att betala for hennes billjet. Nar jag lamnade fram min $20 sedel sa rakte hon upp 2 fingrar och jag fick tva biljetter i stallet for en (Hon har fortfarande inte betalat tilbaka mig). Vi sag "Red Eye".. Sammanfattning: Boooooooooooooooooring.. Se den inte.
Efter bion gick vi for att ta en kopp kaffe. Gissa vad. Allt stanger kl 10 pm i Santa Rosa. Sa drack inget kaffe....

Min fodelsedags fest var riktigt trevlig. Betty hade bjudit alla kvarterets ungar, nagra slaktingar, Sina och Jane (Sinas host sister). Betty hade planerat sin drom fest med girlanger glass och socker tarta. Oj, glomde nastan balongerna. Jag har nu 7 helium balonger i mitt rum. Laney min jamnariga granne visade sig vara jatte trevlig. Hon har dock en stark tro pa gud och ar en Mormon. Mycket interesant del av kristendommen. De har en del anorlunda tankar. Ex. De dricker inte kaffe eller te som ineholler koffein. Man ska inte lata beroenden kontrolera en..
Josh, hennes pojkvan (kille hon haller handen med nar de gar pa stan) ar valdigt trevlig han med. Alla ar lite omogna dock och agerar som om de vore 2-3 ar yngre. Kan kannas jobbigt ibland. Jag fick en hel dros med presenter. 2 footballs, en SF 49ers t-shirt, en OBEY t-shirt (Ett kladmarke), ett kortspel, divarse skamtarticklar iftan Sina och Jane och en present check pa $25 ifran Stan och Petra. Vi hade kul. Jag fick en del markliga fragor om lagar i sverige och om tjejerna i sverige ar snyggare an dem i USA. Jag vill bara passa pa att saga: SVERIGE AR BATTRE PA ALLA SATT OCH VIS. Lite kallare, dyrare, regniare och saknar football teams men annars sa...

Football ja..
Mitt liv ar en football. Jag kommer nu att trana minst 4 timmar om dagen 6 dagar i veckan till i december. YES =). Vi tranar nu med full utrustning vilket innebar dubbskor, shorts med kna, hoft och lar skydd, biffiga axelskydd och hjalmen. Jag spelar som "Corner back" men jag kommer troligen att bli en bankvarmare under macherna. Konkurancen ar stenhard.


jag sonar nu till och fran medans jag skriver sa det far blim mer vid senare tillfalle..

Football

I'll soon be a full time football player . Got my helmet today. Heavy thing, heavy but steady.
Football is not quite as I imagined but a very fun game. This far I've tried to understand it, and belief it or not some is actually getting trough to me. I never been in such pain after workout though.
I started my day today by getting up at 6 a.m running fore one hour. Than I cleaned my room and Betty and I went to my school orientation. I payed different fees for transportation, library card and stuff like that. It all ended on a $140. Urk.. To much if you ask me.
Than after that back and change to football clothes. When you're going out for football it doesn't matter how much it hurt from the day before. You are supposed to preform as good as the day before.

Text on my pull over:
Montgomery High School
Vikings

Going over to the German exchange student (Sina) Now..
I'll write more later..
Love You All...

First days

Oki.. Internet is up and running.
I now It's been some time since my last post but I culdent enter my domain.

So coming to the millers.. Hmm.. Well quite an experience..

When they picked my up at the youth hostel in the Fort Mason area of SF the first thing that chocked me was how short they were. They are both ecually tall (or short) around 1.50m or 5".
I diddent se the Golden gate that day thoug it was to foggy. When we got home to the house in Santa Rosa Bettys nephew Steve and his wife-to-be Sara was there to welcomme me. Steve seams like a really fun guy and will be my persone to go to when Betty and Sam is driving me nuts.

It's Steve in the pickture to the right on the night I came here.

Since The day I came here I've been introduced to the neigborhood and toured Santa Rosa.
Some Fackts about the millers:

1. Nothing is so dirty you don't put it in the dishwasher.
2. Nothing is to big to fit in the dishwasher.
   
3. If you use the oven for something else than to do your pizza (the one you buy frozen at your lokal store) you're strange.
4. There is no food you cant prepeare in one of the two microwaves.
5. Betty is a "Pump" driver. You press the gas pedal to the bottom just to lift your foot two seconds later. Than guess what. Pedal to the mettal. Release.. And so on. Meybe a little exagerated.. or not..
   
6. Baseball is the name got to watch all the games. Atleas the millers do =).
   

Had my first fotball practise today. O my God.. "You fucking sissis, Don't ever think you are anything without your team. There is nothing that will make you miss your god damn practise. If there's anything more important it's your family, nothing elese. But guess what The team is your Fucking family" Our coach was going on like that for 10 min before we went out on the field. Than we worked so hard I almost puked on the spot.
I'm going to practice 3hours a day, 5days a week for 7 month. I'm already loving it =).

And here's some various pickturesThor giving me a hard time making my bed.
cuisine
Store in Santa Rosa. BIGGG store..
Frukost, Blueberry Pankakes.

I'm about to compete in candy apple eating.
We are located at the Apple fair in Sebastapool. (somewere near santa rosa)
Guess what. I came on splitted first place along with the other dude in the picture.

Well it's getting cind of late.. Write more later.
Post questiones to get an awnser.

By the time I post this I've approximately been up for 29 hour.

I woke up 4 a.m Swedish time and my father drove me to Castrup, the airport in Copenhagen. From there I took the plane to Hetrow (London). I spent 90 minutes at the airport before I took the plane to Los Angeles.

In Los Angeles I meet the AFS contact who helped me check in my baggage for the flight to San Fransisco. We spent the whole afternoon talking about expectations and strange differences and laws in the US, like the drinking age and death penalty. Than I took the plane to SF and got picked up by AFS representatives.

And here I am, Fresh and clean sitting on a high speed connection computer in the youth hostel.
Write more when I've had my rest...
Bye
