My first couple of days in school, IH Palma
The past days have been really good and I've been too busy to be on the computer much.
Two days ago, on sunday, it was great weather here and I decided to go out and try get some tan. In a bikini just beside the pool, that's where I spent about an hour in the sun, I really can't complain and I think I might have got some tan, but at least my freckles that always shows during summertime is back! That day we also went for a walk with the dogs and went to the stable. I really like to do different things here that I normally don't do in Sweden, that's how I can tell the difference between the places.
Yesterday I started school! I got there a bit early and I had some time to check out the neighborhood and go to a café to get a second breakfast. I was at the school when they opened, at 9 in the morning to do a test so they know where to place me, since I've studied spanish before. The teacher realized pretty quick that I was not able to speak that much in spanish so she put me in the beginners group and said it will be a bit too easy for me the first few days, but then it will probably get better.
We are seven people in my class, two from Sweden, four from Germany and one from Russia, a really nice mix! Two guys and five girls and the age is also very different, I'm the youngest one and I'm not sure how old the oldest one is, but they have stopped working at least. Everyone is there for different reasons, exchange, moved to Spain, want to work here during the summer and so on! People are taking the course from 2 weeks up to maybe a year.
These first two days have been good, I have no problem on following the teacher during the lesson even if she speaks spanish all the time, i even think it's too easy. We have a lesson for two hours and then get a 20 minutes break before we continue the lesson until we finish, which is 13.30 every day. So, school from 9.30-13.30 monday-friday, that is really perfect! Everyday we have homework, but so far it has been less than half an hour work on my own and I really hope there will be more.
So far I havn't been up to much here in Mallorca but I guess I don't have to rush anything since I'm staying for a while. I've been out with the dogs everyday and trying to relax as much as possible. Today I also went to Palma. I learned how to go from the school into town and just to be able to know where I am. I saw some nice stores with lots of shoes, so I really need to go there some day!

In Spain
A couple of days ago I went to the airport to get on the plane that would take me to Spain. I had to change in Berlin and wait for a couple of hours, but after that I arrived in my second home, Mallorca. So for the next couple of months I will be spending all my time on this beautiful island which I really adore and I hope it's going to be amazing!
I'm staying with friend I know from before, which feels really good! So far I've been sorting some things out that I needed before starting school and just relaxed. The school starts on monday morning and I really feel like I mad the right choice of going here a few days before.
When I landed it seemed to be just the exact same weather here as it is in the summer, except the mountains where it seemed to still be some snow left. During daytime it's nice, sunny and warm, you could be out in only a t-shirt if it's not too windy. But the same minute the sun goes down it gets much colder so you will need a jumper, maybe even a jacket. It's pretty much the same weather as it is in Sweden late april early may I think, which is not too bad since it's only february here!
There will be photos, soon!

I've got the best friends in the world and I will miss them like hell!
The last week I've been seeing friends and family, having a big dinner, some caketime, been out saying goodbye to friends and fixing things before my adventure! So far it seems like I have most of it under control, but I guess that will change a thousand times before I leave even though it's not a long time left....
I know I will miss everyone around me, but in one of the places in Spain I will have people I love around me. I'm going away when the snow is melting in Sweden and get (as far as I know) about 15 degrees and a lot of sun in Spain, that's not so bad! I get the chance to start school again and learn a new language! I'm hoping to spend some more time outside when it's not so cold, talking long walks and just enjoy everything. I just hope to feel good, see as much as possible and experience new things!

Yesterday was my last day at work before I leave for Spain. It feels good to have the last day about a week before I leave, because now I can focus on getting ready, pack everything I need and everything else that needs to get done!
All day I've been trying to get things done, there is a lot more than I expected, but it feels like I have most of it under control! Tonight I'm going out for dinner and play some pool with friends. I need to see people and get my mind off things for a while :)

Right now I'm trying to get everything done for my adventures this spring, I'm really excited and I just can't wait! Since I'm going away I'm thinking a lot about what to bring and not and ofc since I love fashion this is hard. I'm trying not to bring too much, especially since I know I want to go shopping and bring lots of nice things with me home...! Anyway, here are some favorites from Forever21 that I would want to bring ;)

A little bit of the big bang theory and once upon a time and the night is saved, or I don't know, but at least it feels good!
The last week I've been feeling happy, prepared things for my trip, worked and had a movie night with friends, I really can't complain! This is going to be a calm weekend, i need to just take some time off and just be, sometimes you just have to do that. After some chill time I will work for a couple of days and then only prepare for my trip and see all the people I really want to see before going. That includes my family and friends.

Today is a good day, I don't know why but I'm happy and it seems that most things are going my way today which I really like! It's not every day that happens! During the day I've mostly been running errands and sorted things out now before my trip. There is a lot more to do than you expect.
During the last week I've been working, been to the hairdresser, relaxing a bit, celebrated my 20th birthday a bit early and been to the cinema with friends where we watched Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy which was a kind of weird movie.
This week I will work, see friends and family, start packing and ofc a lot more.
My adventure
In november 2010 I decided what I wanted to do during my gap year. I wanted to see the world and learn spanish. With that in mind I started to look for schools in Spain. I really had no idea where to start, where to go, how to live and so much more details than that.
So this is what I've been planning for during the last year, making decisions about where to go, getting advise from people around me and even been to one of the school while I was in Spain a few months ago.
I will be showing parts of my adventure here on the blog, so that people back home can follow me during that time! I really hope you'll keep reading! :)
Do I have to say that I'm looking forward to it?! :D
Lovely Spain
Now everything is decided, I will be in Spain for 4 months, study spanish in two different places and schools and have a great adventure. I will leave Sweden already in a few weeks!
