summer 08 and beyond

hey
sitting here right now and thinking about the last few months and thought i would make a new blog post to put some of my thoughts down on paper..or at least the internet

the last few months have been a bit scary from the standpoint of feeling pressure to make decisions that are not easy and trying to move forward into a world that seems to becoming both bigger and smaller at the same time. smaller in terms of distance between places and bigger in terms of the possibilities that have been opened up to me.

i passed the swedish test i wrote in lund (southern sweden) a couple weeks ago which means i am going to be coming back to sweden in the fall to study. i was very excited to get this news as i have probably never done something so scary and put myself out as much as i did to write this test. it is a pretty big accomplishment for me as it is not even 10 months since i learned my first swedish words.

my girlfriend annika and myself are coming to canada for the summer to work (she has her work permit approved this week) however, after the summer i will be moving to sweden for the fall and possibly beyond that. i feel like i have a lot of things i want to do with my life that i wouldnt have even considered a year ago, and of unfortunatly that also means spending less time with my family and friends in canada than before...but that does not mean you are forgotten...i really hope we all get a chance to see each other this summer!

my brother and his wife maria just arrived in sweden and it is great to see them again...just wish i didnt feel so busy with schoolwork and everything, but im gonna get back to that now and try and get some stuff out of the way.

take care everybody and let me know what you guys are up to..i want to hear!

will
