Weekend of SOLITUDE!
Well, we had out team building day which was AWESOME to say the least! Team 9 rocked the socks of all those who opposed us and we won all of our events except for the last one, but that’s because we felt bad for Team 10 not winning any of their events so we let them win this one
!
This is how it rolled:
First we had the snow sculpture competition! Our team decided to make a jacuzzi! We made a sweat ass jacuzzi in the snow and put people in it, the put snow on their laps so it was like WATER! Crazy awesome!
Then it was all GROUP PICTURE!
Then, we went inside for fikka! (This is a common word used in Sweden, it means break or coffee time, Swedish people will tell you that they love the fikka!)
After this were had races on…what did they call it…frick I don’t remember…but it meant like a baby toboggan. And we had to push on person in this little tiny baby toboggan. It was crazy hilarious!

After this, we did and Irish Christmas! And after I saw what it was I totally understood! HAHA. What you do is you take a brumball stick (sweden sport, it is like a smaller baseball bat) and you twirl around on the ground with your forehead on the handle of the stick ten times. After this you must get up and run back to your team and tag the next person. You don’t feel that dizzy when you are doing it but as soon as you get up it is like you’re drunk! It’s hilarious to watch people do it! LOL! Everyone looked like they were drunk!
After this we did the classic pass the orange in the chin thing. My hair kept getting in the way though, but we still won! Hoorah!
After that we did like…a seven legged race? Basically five people tied together! It was awesome! It was also hilarious because when they got to the turn around point, both teams got stuck at each other and almost fell down trying to move out of the way and it just looked like a mess of people fighting and pushing!
After that, we went and we played no feet. where you have to get seven people with no or less feet on the ground in a shape or formation that is creative and no person can be in the same position. People just kept trying to do dumb things and it was all blah! I just stayed out of that one, I was like, oh I’m staying out of this! But yes, we let Team 10 win this one
.
Then the day was done and I was suppose to go to Forfest (pre-party) at 530 (yes the swedes start this early). But, I wasn’t feeling good in the morning and then as soon as I got home I felt it
. And then I was down for the count for the rest of the weekend. I couldn’t get out of bed. And I had no food left, but I didn’t feel like eating anyways. But yes, I did absolutely nothing ALL WEEKEND. Disgusting, I know.
But, today however, I finally went grocery shopping! THANK THE LORD! And I made the most delicious sandwich ever and bought some BRAGO! The most delicious swedish cookies ever, they are my new love! Except, Patch Bear ate them all! OH NO!
Tonight, going to hang out with Daniela at her apartment because their common room has a tv and dvd player! so we’re going to watch a movie! I’m bringing my wine that I never used from the weekend and some fanta!
They are crazy about their fanta here! But that’s all for now! Tomorrow is finally my geography class and I will let you know how that goes!
