HEY!!

So Whats up??
In feeling pretty good. Registration at school tomorrow! I have to pay $ 5200... Thats alot o f money!
So. What have been going on lately. Hm.
YEah . Fredrik, Emma and I went to see some bands Fredrik Like.. The Rocker summers and some more... It was pretty good. And It was fun to go to a show at a new place.
This Friday I played my first gig here in Los Angeles and Hollywood! It went really well and it was so much fun that the audience really liked it. Im doing one gig at Karma on Wednesday and that is supposed to be a good spot!
So I hope I will like it...


The weekend was pretty cool. We didnt do much. It was graduation party for some MI students so we went to see that. Emil our friend got a price for best guitar player so we had to celebrate that night. hehe. in a wierd way. Coctails beer and Taco followed by some "charader: I dont know how to call it in english but you get a sentence and you have to get you team to guess the sentence without talking! So it was fun. My team lost1 Not because of me, It was because of fredrik. He keept doing his chicken dance for every word and he pointed at me when he tried to say Salen (A place in Dalarna) Im from Dalarna but Salen is 4 hours away... How in the name of @$#%^&&$ could I guess he was trying to say Salen???

Anyway... Im posting some pictures...
Im pretty tired today. I dont know why. But I want to do something fun today anyway... Zandra and Emil has a show today but before that Sofia is gonna try to walk up the mountain here! Hollywood hills here I come!!!


Chaaao for now!

Mexico~!

Im Soooooo HAPPY!
I have my F-1 status in my visa now :) YeaH!
All the nervs about that are soooo gone!

I went up really early on Wednesday morning and walked one block to the groundhound Dog Bus Station and Bought my ticket to Tijuana Mexico. $ 28 for a round trip that is soo good!
And Fredrik was so nice and went with me!

So the bus came and took us from Hollywood to Downtown LA. We had to wait there for about 30 min and then catch the Bus that took us to Tijuana and the mexican border... It was a really nice bus ride down there.. We passed Long Beach,, New Port Beach( OC) and San Diego before we arived in Tijuana.
We walked out of the bus and then over a bridge and through a "fence" and in to mexico.
And In Mexico we did some Sovenier Shopping ;) A guitar, a flute and a little Mexican Guy...

After that we walked in to the Immigration Office to get a new I-94 and stamps on my I-20 and The people working there was so funny. And they said that Im gonna be the new Britney just cause they saw in my passport that I was a student at Musicians Institute.. And then they: Hey, But Dont shave your hair ;)

After that we walked back into the states and through secutiry and the asked me if I brought something from Mexico and I said: YES!! A Guitar, A Flute and a Mexican Guy,... And the looked at me and the whole line started to Laugh and I said Oh no I mean a little one a stuffed one;) Not a real mexican :) :) And they also took our fruit that we had with us from America but as soon as we take them in to Mexico they are Mexican fruit so... they took them :(

And thats it. We catched the bus as soon as wecame back from Mexico cause we wanted to come home to " The Family"
