A row of posts about school coming up, and here are some winter wonderland pictures

I notice more and more that I feel the need to write about the school systems in Sweden and Germany. Because it is an issue that really makes me angry. And I think that I've gained so interesting and valuable insights into the swedish school system, that I really want to share with you and give my opinion on.
It is sad that I can only reach so little people. But thank you for reading this and feel blessed ;)
I want to make a couple of posts about this. Because I think it is such an important issue, and it would be more structured than in one single post.



And in general I'm doing fine. The snow came back and transformed everything into a winter wonderland again. Only this time it's nicer, cause it's actually -2°C and not -15°C and there is much more daylight and also some sun. I have had a good weekend which, like every weekend, went by too fast. On friday after having a big italian test, that I have been studying for quite a lot during the week, I was at Uppsalas climbing center with my dear friends Anni and Noemi (exchange students from Germany and Hungary). It was fun, we want to do it more often. I haven't exercised in a while, because I was fighting with a cold for one week (still am unfortunately).

On saturday I slept in and Noemi came in the afternoon and we had a sleepover. We were watching a movie and Melodifestivalen in the evening (I should really write about Melodifestivalen some day). Sunday morning we went to church, where my hostfather and I were performing two songs that he has made. He is really good at playing the guitar and the piano (and singing as well). I was singing with him. And I haven't done anything like that before, singing in front of an audience. So I was super nervous. But it was fun. Having a cold made it a little harder for me though and it didn't sound the way I wanted it to. But I guess it was alright. After church Noemi and I went for a walk in the snow and took a lot of pictures, because seriously, it looks amazing. I felt like I'm in Narnia. I spent the rest of the day watching some videos and writing.

                          

One more week of school and then we have holidays. My hostfamily and I will go to Dalarna for a week, visit some people, go skiing (first time in my life), and do some other things. We haven't planned what exactly yet.

I hope you're all doing fine. Have a good week.
