I have no clue what that word in the title here means, but it doesn't matter, because that's what it says on the visa stamp in my passport, which arrived just a few days ago!!!
For real this time.
Now, with only 6 days until I leave, I am getting anxious. I've got all my gear spewed across my bedroom floor--down jacket (which, by the way, isn't as frumpy looking as I thought it would be. See it posted in the corner there? Cute, huh?), long-johns, camera, scarves. The temperatures in the region of Sweden I'll be in in less than a week range from mid-40s to low 60s already. Snow is on its way and I cannot wait!!!
Before I go, here are some things aside from snow that I'm excited for:
* Being in a close-knit community of students again
* Learning about different cultures
* Actually taking time to learn more about the Bible--willingly
* What God will reveal about me, about Him, and about my future (i.e. possible career paths, etc.)
I'd love prayers from you all for the roommate selection (they haven't done that yet... I hope I can live with some girls from other countries!!!), and travels.
Thanks!!!

I asked my Swedish friend what uppehallstillstand meant when we were playing tennis this morning. He said it meant "permit to reside."
I'm getting excited about you going because you're so excited!
Thanks John! Now I know a bit of Swedish! I really appreciate your enthusiasm, and the fact that you're actually reading the blog! I love getting comments. It's good to know people actually look at this thing!
you're leaving today! have fun!
Hi my friend! I prayed for you yesterday as you traveled. I hope you and your mom have a great time together.
I am excited to hear all about what God does in this next year. I know you are going to thrive. Those new roommates of yours are going to be blessed by you and your craziness and creative ideas.
Thanks for being so suppportive as I have started school.
Love you friend!
I think you should update your blog. I mean how am I supposed to know what's going on in your part of the world. :)
I echo Valerie's sentiment. You have a fan club that wants to know what's going on.
