Day 3

So today was our second day of the Swedish cup tourney. We played and won our game today..so we got bronze, overall. It was a good tournament to get our feet wet, adn was especially good considering we'd never played together before, and that it's been forever since me or Miyuki had played. I cant wait to get to Norsjo and practice and get better for our first home game. yay! I just really cant wait to get home to see Norsjo, and my apartment, and get settled!! I'm tired of living out of my suitcase..ugh..So after the tourney, we all left to go to Stockholm Central Station to eat and catch our train. I've never been on a train before, so that was so so exciting for me!! We had awhile before our train arrived, so we all sat around and were talking for awhile. I learned that all of the girls have boyfriends, except Caroline and Yvonne. Geeez..but Freja and Caroline were already brainstorming who my Norsjo boyfriend would be. They asked me what my type was..and I told them tall, athletic and funny..and there response was hmmmm..I dont know if we have one who is all of those! hahaha..so I lowered my standards to prefer a boy wh maybe speaks english a little? So, we'll see how that goes. hahaha. So we got on the train and I was in a compartment with Rebecca and Sophie. When it was time to go to sleep, I couldnt figure out how to roll out the narrow, narrow couch and make it a bed. I figured it was broken and i just had awful luck..Sooo, I slept like a hot dog on the narrowest couch known to man for the whole night..freeeezing cold!! Listening to my ipod, trying to fall asleep.. Finally at 6am, Sophie got up to go the bathroom and said "Have you been sleeping like that all night??" and I said.."Sleeping..not really". haha..She unfolded the couch for me with blankets and i slept from then on..Our train was delayed by like 6 hours..so our plans for the day got pushed back a little. As we got closer to our destination, Skelleftea (a city 50 miles from Norsjo), I looked out the train window..all i saw was forest..and a few houses here and there, and it started to set in..just where i was in the world. The middle of the forest. When we got to Skelleftea, me, Miyuki, Josephine, Olav, and Anders had lunch at a buffet type resturant, and then looked around a bit. We went to Josephine's apt, where she lives with her boyfriend. It was really really nice. Skelleftea is still a small city, but it had a mall and resturants and stuff. Then me and Miyuki went to this physical therapy place to get our physicals, to make sure we were ok to play. We were cleared:) Then me and Miyuki took a bus from Skelleftea to Norsjo. By now it was like 7:30pm. We finally got to Norsjo..and Freja and Yvonne picked us up and we went to ICA to get groceries. They made sure we understood what we were buying:) Then we went to our apartments!!! I love love love my apt. Its cozy and I'm so happy:) So now all my groceries are put away..I'm not unpacked..but i've decided to deal with that later and just watch MTV for now:) It has been such a looong day, but i'm so excited I'm finally here. I cant believe it. I'm so grateful. My dream is actually becoming a reality...Well, for now I'm going to do my shoulder stretches, and exercises! More later!
