Day 168

So I didnt sleep one bit last night..just paranoid about missing my flight..even though its not til 6 tonight..if i would have known the kind of day it was going to be today I WOULD HAVE SLEPT!! So i caught the bus to the airport, giving myself plenty of time to get there..and this is where the fun starts..i stood in line forever and when i got to check my bag in finally, they said it was too full so i had to get out of line, rearrange all my stuff, and get back in line..so i stood in line again forever and got up there and they said when i bought my ticket, i didnt choose the online check in..so i would have to get out of line again and go stand in a different line and pay 20 euro to do the airport check in..by this point i was beyond frustrated..so i stood in another line, payed for that, then FINALLY in the line to check my freaking bag..which finally happened..and took like 1n hour 1/2 it was ridiculous..ive never had so much of a hassle ever geeeeeeeeez. So i caught my flight okay..and then landed and called Darashaya my friend who i was supposed to stay with. It was 11pm and so i told her i landed and was taking the bus into Stockholm central...she told me tonight just wasnt a good night for her and that maybe we could get together another night. I thought she was joking. I couldnt even belive it. Here i was on the bus to Stockholm, totally expercting her to pick me up on the other end, and she straight up DITCHED me. I was so pissed and upset..i jujst did not know what to do. It was too late to do anything! I didnt know anyone else there, and she just left me in the worst situation ever. I tried calling her and she just did not answer. I was brainstorming ideas on the way to stockholm central and my options were pretty limited..I called my other friends, in Gislaved (a small town a few hrs south of Stockholm) and no trains or busses ran that late to them..or i would have done that:( so it looked like i was going to be spending the night in stockholm central station..so i got to the train station and little did i know..it closed at 1am!! So I was on my way out not knowing what i was going to do or where i was going to go, and i heard these 3 spanish guys asking the security guard where was open..so i asked them and we all headed to this kebab house which was open til 5am..so it looked like i wasnt going to go to sleep tonight either..i would now be running on 4 hours of sleep in 72 hours! Which i did not know was possible..So we all sat down at the same table..me and these 3 spanish boys..they were in the same position..just needed somewhere to hang out until trians and busses started running again..So we sat and talked and ate from 130am until 5am..they were super entertaining..one of them did magic tricks, the other one juggled, and i had an arm wrestling contest with the other one haha thoroughly entertaining haha So i said goodbye to them at 5..they caught their bus and i had to wait for my bus at 8am still..another few hours to go until i could try and sleep on the bus!! ahhh I finally got my bus and passed out for a good hour and a half..i dont know why i couldnt sleep for longer..i just was not comfortable at all..I was so so beyond exhausted..never have i ever been so tired! So i FINALLY got to Gislaved around 3pm and got to Christina and Liesl's..I literally set my suitcases down and they told me we were going to catch a bus to this town nearby to hang out with some friends..i was like of course..we WOULD be hopping on a bus right after i just got off of one for 6 hours hahah..but i was okay with it:) We caught the bus to this town Halmstad..which is this awesome town..its like the perfect size, so pretty, has some cool resturaunts and shops and the people are super nice. So me, Liesl and Christina went to this place called Harry's and had some dinner and the whole resturaunt played this music quiz..name that song, band and year type thing..so that was fun..the songs were all American except one swedish song..so i think we did pretty good:) Later on we met up with Christina and Liesl's friends..Murray and Patrick..who play vball for a teram nearby..so it was fun to meet them..anyway I neeeed to get some sleep for the first time in like 4 days now..so More Later!!
