The Start

So after 6 months of Living here in Sweden I've decided to do what many other immgrants have done and start up a blog. So here goes...



I was living up life in the US as a 23 year old American with a pretty good job when I met this beautiful swedish girl. We started dating and low and behold, two years later, I'm living with her in Sweden.



Things didn't quite go as smoothly as I had hoped but there isn't too much to complain about. Learning the language has been harder than I thought, but progress is certainly being made. It took me about 3 months to get into an SFI Course (Svenska för invandrare or Swedish for immigrants). Its a free course, which is nice, but I've heard that the courses you pay for are much better. Either way, I'm on my way to learning swedish. I also just ordered a workbook for swedish grammar which came highly reccommended by my teacher and the teachers at linköpings university called "Form i Fokus A" so hopefully that will help speed some things up. I'm looking forward to being able to converse with people here in another language.

I'm working at a Restaurant called Sangria near Storatorget (the big square in Linköping). All i'll say is that it pays the bills and its good to have some work experience here in Sweden.

So anyway, what I plan to do with this blog is to keep the fam and friends at home informed, talk about random things that cross my mind, and let everyone know what it's like living in Sweden. Other than that, I have no idea whats going to happen here... Stay Tuned!
