Hey guys!
Just thought i would post a few pictures to show you what i have been up to. For more, go to photobucket with username: kattywoman.
Monica (from Ecuador), Mirella (from Brazil) and Me
Frozen Lake that I went Ice-skating on
Me with my host mum Paivi
Me on skates!
My Host brothers Jakob (8) and Johannes (12)
Casey Josh, Caitlyn and Flick with Malmö church behind
All dressed up for a Rotary Concert- note the dodgy green blazers!
Apart from that, I have been busy organising things for up and coming weekends, like I am visiting Maddie in the Easter holidays!! yay!! I can't wait. Also planning a trip to Copenhagen with the other Aussie rotary exchange students... stay tuned!
So far, the homesickness is bearable. It tends to come in flashes, like if i hear a certain song or something. I have memories of Emma playing House of the Rising Sun on the guitar, and of Rosa singing along to Downtown etc. And since I have a 25min walk to school, and i listen to my mp3 player the whole way, these memories do surface often enough.
However, I have been so busy that I have not had that much time to think about australia. nights are the worst. i wonder if i will ever see a truly blue sky, or if i will ever feel the heat of a 35 degree (thats POSITIVE 35) day again. but i mostly miss the people. my family and my friends. People who mean a lot to me, who are so far away. And then i remember that this is only for a year and i better make the most of it, live in the moment and remember that everyone and everything will still be there when i get home.
luv u guys and miss u heaps!!
