Today it has been a really nice,warm summer day, not just spring.
In school we have been discussing, we have looked at a film we saw a demonstration.
It seems like that the people that dont live in the citys make less money, so it was a big demonstration were the union also was involved.
After school we went for some lunch and after this we drove up to La Jolla beach with the ppl from Switzerland.
It has been a beutiful summer day.
We were not sunbading close to the sea(at least, we thought we werent) but obvioussly we were, a gigantic wave sweept in and completely drowned my camera and mobilphone....so if anyone gets a call from me, dont answer it, it is doing this by it self:-).
Thursday is a club night in this town but after have had some nice chinese food, we just felt that we dont want any more adventures for today.
Im really looking forward to the day tomorrow.
First we are going on a field trip to the court house, to sit in and listen to a trial, very exiting I think.
On the evening we have decided on going to the Hyatt Hotel, one on the talest building in town that has a lovely view and a resturant in top.
Have a lovely day and weekend:-)

Today we have had a real summer over here, so wonderful:-)
At school we presented our homework and we did also practise argueing.
(for those who do not know, we discussed ppl who are important to american history, I had Martin Luther King and one thing that Im sure you didnt knew about him is that he sang in the churh quire that sang on the premier at the movie"Gone with the wind")
Im also invited home to my teacher, this Im really looking forward to, lets see what day it will be.
I talked to some of the other ppl in my class today, to men from Switzerland, it seems as they have the "same" problem as we do, everyone things that they are from Sweden:-)
After school today we just stayed out in the wonderful summer weather, we found this nice greek resturant just down at the harbour, a lovely place, we sat for hours and hours and did also talked to a couple from Arkansas who was here on a convention, the convention at the moment is about handikapped ppl in the US.
Very interesting to listen too.
After this, we went for some shopping, I really need a pare of shorts, they have promised 28 degrees tomorrow, love it.
Have a wonderfull day and remember, there is always someone having a much more terrible day then you have ( like all the beggers in this town)

Today has been a very nice day.
I started in my new class (highest level they could put me in:-) the studenst where nice, so was the teacher.
It was students from all over the world, one person from SE, Karl (but somehow I mix that up with Erik, dont know why:-)
The class has just ended a book and is now in between books, so we are doing a lot of reviws, the plan is also to make a visit to the court on friday and to sit in and listen.
After this we went to USS Midway, a big US flagg ship, very interesting.
One of the things we know about this ship, is for exampel, stand like a sky scrape and it will be taler then any of those in this city!....
There wer so many cool things to see, defently worth a trip.
On this ship, only 40 ppl are employies, the rest is "volunteres"(volänterer)...
The only way this ship now makes any money is by having turist, partyies and different events. they et no money from the state what so ever.
Taco tuesday!!!! love it...all the mexican resturants in the city have it, its cheaper then the other days, its like a happy hour that also includes the food:-) LOVE strawberry margerithas:-).
Naturally i brought Kim but i also brought Alesandra, my new friend from Brazil.
I thought we were the only country that the americans didnt knew about, but we actually meet a person today that didn ned anything about Brazil!!!
Are we the only ppl that learn about other cultures and history? ....
We also discussed a lot about the diferences of our countries, like forinstance, after given bearth to a child they stay home for 3 month!....3 month.....if they stay longer, then they wont have a jobb to go back to...!!
This is it for today, have homework about american history, i got Martin Luther King and his childhood:-)
Have fun, and rememeber, that you live in a good country that take care of its ppl
(Having problems with the photoes, it only work downlouding on FB, im sorry....)

This day started out lovely, panic is the word.... it was stop in the toilet....the claening lady who helped me told me "to much paper" :-) after this I completely lost track of time, so the meeting with the other students from J Inn where we live, almost ended up in me comming with my tooth brush in my mouth. In other words, panic.
We had a lovely school guide, who showed the way to the school, gave som tips about things to do, like tomorrow we are going on taco night:-)
At the school we were presented to the school staff, they informed about rules and regulations ( this most be the country with most rules in the entire world:-)
Naturally the mixed me up and though that I was from Switzerland(surprise)
They sterated out listening to how we spoke and after that, we had a writing test, wich i felt went very well.
I felt sorry for the ppl who sat there and couldnt say a word in english, but then again, thats why there were there.
I sat next to a girl, Ella from Korea and Alejandra from Brazil, we had very much in common and a lot to talk about.
The school today ended very late but still we decided to go to this big shopping center just next to the Mexican border, we must go back there it was so cheap and much to see.
So no when the clock shows 22:30 here and 7:30 at you, im sitting with a big cup of tea and will soon end this day.
School tomorrow and a visit on Midway.

27 of March (sunday)
We have had a wonderful day today, we started out the day with going to a local market were I found this beutiful neckless made out of a real orchide.
We met a Swedish artist that made lovely pictures on "marmor(kakel)".
After this we walked and walked and walked... we saw a memorial of the people who sacrificed there life in Pear Harbor, we are also planning on seing the war ship "Midway" in a few days.
This city is so full of history, I love that, its very exiting.
After all of this we went on a whale wathing, this is so beyond one of the coolest thing I ever seen.
The whales swam arround the boat. next to this we saw some sea lions, dolphins, seals, pelicans
I must say, seeing them in there own invirement is way much cooler then seing them at sea world , it must be.
Tomorrow its school time, I will start out with a test just to se how good (or bad) I am at English.
When we were going of the boat we got comments on how much "couler" (=read red) we got, and did we get today? :-)...we are so scandinavian:-)
Besides all this we saw the military flight going in and out of the base. We saw where they have there simular test for flight pilots. we have seen a lot and there is so much more to see in this beutiful, clean town. like tonight we are going back to the gaslamp district to have a nice dinner.
I could recomend this town to anyone:-)
See you tomorrow

It is early morning here, we have just got out of bed. I have had a few problems with connecting to the internet, but will try solving it.
The flight and all the different transit went ok, I never thought that I will be able to find anything in the New York airport, but i did:-)
Yesterday was a really nice day, we went for shopping and sightseing, today we are moving from the hotel to were we are suppose to live the next 14 days.
Tomorrow, sunday we are planning on whale watching if the weater is nice ( wich they have said it will be:-))
School is starting on monday, looking forward to it.

Imorgon bär det av!
Har idag varit så nervös så jag varit helt darrig stundvis....började packa igår, 16 dagar = 16 klänningar, 16 toppar 20 uppsättningar underkläder osv osv....
Efter mycket urpackande och nytt packande har jag nu förseglat väskan med mycket mer plats än jag hade igår vid första försöket.
Om man varit ute på en båt i många timmar och sedan när man går av båten och fortfarande känner det som att marken är väldigt ojämn, så har jag också känt idag....
Nu är jag i alla fall redo, imorgon bitti(=i natt) bär det av.
Mina mål, att lära mig så mycket jag bara kan ta in, att bli galet duktig på engelskan, så jag aldrig nånsin behöver att hamna i ett underläge när jag diskuterar med bla mina engelska kollegor.
Utöver det målet, att ha skit kul rent ut sagt, lära känna många nya människor, se och upptäcka massor.
Nästa inlägg blir på engelska.....so here we go! :-)

Pirrigt men helt redo!
All set! Alla papper under kontroll, allt bokat som ska bokas. JAG ÄR REDO FÖR DEN 24 MARS NU!! :-) Längtar till allt nytt, alla nya människor, alla upplevelser, allt oförberett, känns ändå skönt att Kim från Gbg kommer att möta upp mig i San Diego, så kommer jag inte att vara helt ensam, känns ändå ganska skönt!
