Aaaalright guys, I´m sorry for no update in a long time. 
I´m going to blame it on a lot of exams. homework. meetings. practices. workouts. and broken camera.
Atleast I´m here no & I just woke up from an eleven hours sleep, how amazing! We played McGill last night and won 1-0 so I guess I deserved it.
Otherways, school and hockey are going well. I´m taking two Community development & Applied economics courses, which one of them is very hard. It´s all about neoclassical economics and ecological economics and how supply and demand are depending on each other. The other course is very interesting. It´s about how we can help the third world to develop and be sustained in the long run. Right now we´re learning about Rwanda (a country in east Africa) and the the genocide that killed 800,000 people. We watched a video last class as you should watch too, The Kony video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc. My political science class is going well, it´s really interesting but confusing but I have to say that I like that class since my professor moved my exam until earlier on December 13th so I can go home to Sweden a day earlier -thank you, u made my week right there!!

.. and the hockey part. The hockey is going very well actually. We just finished a five games week, pretty exhausted right now so this Thursday as a Day Off is exactly what I needed. We have travelled to Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Providence in one week, a lot of travelling but I like it; living on hotel, get to eat hotel breakfast and to sleep in those hotel beds (a loooot better than my dorm bed), good life!

.. bake&food part. In the beginning of this semester I baked a lot, almost every day. I think I made five Sticky Cakes in a week because people here can´t s t o p eat it. We´ve also made some cookies, mostly chocolate chip but I really want to make Caramel Canapés (kolasnittar) which is going to be another thing people can´t stop eat. 
I´ve tried many new restaurants too. Sometimes it´s so nice to get out of campus to skip school and think of other things for a bit. I tried my first Mac n Cheese last weekend, not to exciting though.. I´ve also seen a new Ben&Jerry called Key Lime Pie, somone tried it yet?? Wallowed in apples is another thing I´ve been doing these days. Apple picking is a big deal here and the apples are soooo big and delicious this time a year.

Last things: 1. It´s three more weeks until Thanksgiving break where I´m heading down to New Jersey and my 2nd home <3 2. I´m soooo happy for my sister Kajsa who finally got her passport so she can come home for Christmas. I can´t remember last time my whole family celebrated Christmas together. And bst of all, we´re probably going to sit next to each other on our flight home :') 3. I have to mention "Solsidan", my favorite swedish TV show that makes my life so much easier over here.


Tomorrow Friday´s schedule looks like 7am workout, ..school.. then practice at 3pm, hopefully a great dinner somewhere. After that, h a l l o w e e n weekend is coming up and time for trick or treat.
Have a great Thursday folks.
