Here it comes!
Yes! Finally! A blog about my year in the US :) Thank you Ellinore for helping me!
Well, I left home sunday at about two o clock swedish time, to go to the Hotel near the airport. Mum, my boyfriend; Markus and my sister followed. Monday at nine o clock it was time to go through at the airport and say goodby to everbody. We cried but it felt great for me at the same time! On my way, woohoo! All by myself.. a little bit scary.
The plane from Arlanda took off at 10.30 and landed in Helsingfors 11.30. It wasn´t a long waiting at the airport in Helsingfors, we took off 13.10. Long trip by plane to get to New York but I finally landed at 15.50 local time(-6 from Sweden). Wow, finally I was in the big city, and the excitement was so big. We were taken by bus to Sheraton Hotel in Stamford, and I had a room to share with a german girl and a girl from Austria.
Today was the first real day of the orientationweek. The first meeting started at 8.30 and ended at 12 o clock. Then we had three hours off. We went down to the mall to shop a little bit, fun! Then there was four more hours and a lot of information. But this is really nice, I have allready learnt a lot from this, and it has only been one day.
I got a cute messege from my sister too, she said she misses me allready and that this will be a long year. But it will be a funny year! I am looking forward to thursday when I am travelling on to my hostfamily.
I am not that good in taking pictures but at least the camera is with me, so I will try!
