update #4 - Los Angeles

Days count: 46

On Thursday, September 1st was my 16. birthday & it was awesome. My host family took me & another exchange student from Switzerland to a restaurant & we had so much fun. On Friday night some of our friends came over & we ate pizza & watched movies outside. I got so many presents from my host grand parents & friends & my host parents & everyone, it was incredible.


On Saturday morning we headed out to Los Angeles to watch the soccer game LA galaxy against Columbus SC (Ohio). We won the game  2-1.

We spended the night in an amazing hotel with whirlpool and stuff. 

On Sunday morning we went to the Universal studios. I was literally in hogwarts.  It was awesome. 
Hogwarts
We had butter beer and my host brother got the magic wand of Voldemort and the rides were amazing. We were like flying through Hogsmeade and Hogwarts and over the Quidditch field and everything & it was so much fun.  There were also other rides and a tour where they showed us their studios where they're actually filming the voice and stuff like that.  After the park we went to Hollywood City walk and had Mac and cheese for dinner. We spend the night in the Hilton universal.
I love my host siblings

Today we went to Hollywood, like the walk of fame and stuff like that. 

I freaked out when I saw this tbh
Seriousely, they have stars for everything. Winnie the Pooh, snow white, Victoria Secret Angels, Christina Aguilera etc. After that we went to different museums. 

Tomorrow I have school again, I still feel like my English is the worst but its okay. Most of the time I hang out with other exchange students, but I start making friends. People keep asking me dumb questions like: "Do you guys have cars in Sweden?" or "Do people in Sweden get sick?" Never mind, I love Americans. Cross country is getting pretty hard, we run about 2-4 miles ( 1 mile is about 1.6 km) when its like 35 degrees outside, but at least I get tanned. 
Homecoming is in 3 weeks and I'm so excited!!! And seriously I'm so happy to be here, my host family is amazing.
