My new favorite addition to the blogroll

14 January 2008 287 views No Comments

Okay, I love you all my dear blogrolled friends, but I must point out this great blog that I found on a random Google search recently.

I was looking for something related to Swedish cuss/curse words and stumbled upon A Swedish American in Sweden. I’m really enjoying it so far and certainly glad I hit upon it.

The only thing is that it depresses me to read it. I would really like to be back in Sweden right now, as much as I am enjoying life in Boulder and the beginning of the end of uni life. Sure, I like a lot of things about being back in the States — an occasional long drive (certainly not as a daily commute, though, because I just like driving!), 24-hour groceries for those late nights of studying (though the late nights of studying don’t really happen in Sweden), not paying out the ass to have a good night of barhopping with friends — but I do believe that my happiness was greater in Sweden. I miss speaking Swedish every day, having a more laid-back lifestyle, and just being healthier overall. Trust me, life is much healthier in Sweden — even from the viewpoint from living in Boulder for several years.

I will have to sit still for a little while, though, and have some patience. I’m not sure how long it will take me to get back to Sweden, However, I do know that if this next election goes horribly wrong that I will be a lot more willing to leave the U.S. a lot sooner.

    Thanks for the comments! Glad you found my blog and that you’re enjoying it.

    I went through your blog a little bit too. Very cool that you’re studying Scandinavian Studies at CU. One of my professors is teaching Scandinavian Studies there now and my little brother goes to CU also.

    And even cooler that you are from Greeley. Because let’s be honest. Good old Greeley is hard to beat.
