Comin' Home

So I'm going home for the first time in 6 months. Fun and sad at the same time. Sound strange? Not really, it's fun to be home again and to see the family again (for a short time, any longer time period and I go nuts) but it's sad to know that now summer break and everyones really gone (yeah, I know, I'm being angsty about this). Hey, it's midsummer so on with the happy faces for a week now.

Another problem with going home is that I will be isolated for the whole week. Internet communication is down to 1 computer that are shared by 6 individuals and no wireless. If that wasn't enough there is 1 hour walk in to Vagnhärad and the buses goes 2-3 times a day to both directions. Then there is almost nothing there as well, but funny enough, we do have a cloth store, and 3 pizza restaurants, 3 petrol stations, 2 small supermarkets (it's the only word I know that can explain it but they are not really super) and a couple of barbershops. Nothing of interest. Of course I hope I can get some tan and maybe start to run of all those chocolate bars that somehow entered my mouth together with all the soda that just happpened to follow it. Yes, I know, I'm weak.

Also started the summer statistic course so know it's time to pick forward all the hidden math knowledge that have been stored somewhere in my mind...or I can ask my mother if she has any idea what I'm supposed to do, she's a math teacher after all. Or even better, I can ask my friends that have actually done the course, my friends that are all gone...sob (angst cloud appearing over my head, just kidding, I'm taking it rather well, but it's still a bit sad that they are gone now, see this as a therapist moment for myself).

So what am I gonna do at home? The biggest thing is the midsummer celebration that almost all Swedes have, it's one of the biggest holidays in Sweden. One of the few non-Christian ones actually and with all the heathen symbols it's a surprise that it's still around. Funny enough the whole universe is following the traditions of that day. It always rains that day around noon or before and then the clouds disappear in the afternoon to make it a really good day. EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Other than that I brought along a 80's TV-series box with one of the best children shows ever (I know, I'm 21 and still watch children cartoons, but they were better in the 80's and 90's than now) The Mysterious Cities of Gold. The one that will enjoy this the most is probably dad who is a more cartoon fan that any other in the family. Well enough for now, until next time! (If you didn't get it I don't blame you, it is a paraphrase of the ending comment of the narrator in the educational 5 minutes part in the show that is uttered 39 times so if you have seen it, you know this but it is almost 20 years since it appeared last time on television, probably a very bad way of ending this)
