Remembering the Past

[*fritids is a Swedish term that refers to afterschool care!] 

Where do you eat lunch? What is your favorite food?:

I basically only eat in the cafeteria since it's free and I have to eat there. I like the hamburgers that they sometimes make.

We speak Swedish, but we have just begun studying English. In Swedish, you can say "Hej" and "Hej hej" to greet each other. [*hej is pronounced just like "hay"]

A lot of kids are named Fredrik, Oskar, Gustaf, Anna, Linda, and Emma.

We study Swedish, Math, English, Social Science, and P.E. My favorite is probably Social Science where we learn about the different parts of Sweden and Swedish history with the old school kings and the wars.

We are assigned workbooks for each subject and each night we are told to do a number of pages in the books.

Carl XVI Gustaf because I really like learning about history, and he was OUR king and all.

I listen to some pop from Melodifestivalen and whatever my parents listen to.
