Lots of ultimate the last two days! On saturday it was a one-day tournament in Bellingham, WA, with the Uvic team. We were sort of the underdogs so we were positively suprised when we won one game and played really well the three other games! I had a little accident in the end of the first game, did a little lay-out to break the disc, which i also did (yaay) but when i cought the disc the player I defended decided to lay-out (or maybe she tripped on me) and she lands on my head(!) Had a slight headache the rest of the day so didn't play as much as I would have wanted to. Anyways a really fun day with nice ultimate and a great team!

Slept in today and was post-tournament tired and sore. Didn't do very much during the day until I had practice :P A bit of skyping with my parents and watching some tv-series were just enough for me.

Ska alldeles snart till jobbet, och vet att min kära farmor och farfar undrade hur mina arbetskläder såg ut så här kommer en lite kass webcam bild :P
.
Idag har jag haft fullt upp, dagen började tidigt med frisbeeträning klockan 7 (!) och sen hem och sen iväg till yoga och direkt från yogan till en liten fika med Clarissa :) och nu har jag haft cirka 40 min hemma innan jag drar iväg till jobbet. Wing Night ikväll igen så det kommer nog att bli mycket att göra.
Ha de gött!

Just got home from yoga, and I feel soo good; it's a perfect way to end a day. I actually went to two yoga classes tody (yaay), right after I had been throwing some frisbee with a couple of friends. Active day today :) The first yoga lass I went on was "moksha for boarders" - supposed to be good for people doing board sports :P haha it was really fun and different from normal hot yoga. It was more like a work-out session with music. After that I went to Yin toga which is more like, hold a pose for five minutes and a bit more meditative.
.
Sine last time, I've played frisbee in the snow - soo much fun, worked, done yoga, partied it up, eaten wings, called citizenship and immigration Canada a couple of times, thought quite a lot about what I want to do in the near future (concerning staying or not staying) and I decided that I shall at least send in my application for an extension and then i'll see :) Yep that's pretty much it haha.

ACE Picture!
Jag ser det snöar, jag ser det snöar!
Snö i Victoria, det är ganska ovanligt vad jag har förstått och folk blir som galna. Haha nä inte riktigt men man märker att människor inte riktigt är vana vid det. Alla har inte vinterdäck osv. Skulle ha jobbat igår men det var så lugnt, knappt några gäster alls på restaurangen så den stängdes innan mitt shift började. Men jag jobbade idag och våran värme funkade inte, det var -4 grader ute så det var freezing cold inne i restaurangen också. Vi hade några element och varmfläktar på men de hjälpte bara om man stod typ en centimeter ifrån dem. Gaash, det var länge sedan som jag var så kall. Hoppas på det bästa att det funkar bättre imorgon!

Och nu är det dags för mig att bestämma mig om jag vill stanna eller om jag vill åka hem... Ni som känner mig vet ju kanske att jag inte är den bästa på att bestämma mig om saker och ting.

Saturday today and I had the afternoon/night shift at work. I realized that I haven't explained what I actually do at work so here we go :) Every shift starts with that I count the till check reservations for the day and if there is anything else special for that day. We have different dinner specials every day, for example today beer and brger for ten bucks. During the afternoon shift I also have to wipe down all our menus and rolling cutlery is a duty that never ends throughout the whole day. It is also my job to seat all the guests and take their drink orders. Clean tables and help the servers with whatever they need is also a part of what I do. Today it was really really slow, during the first hour we didn't have any guests at all haha, so spent much of the time talking with my co-worker and two of the "regulars" that come every day for a cup of coffee.
.
Also had time for some hot yoga today!
.
Yesterday was work and practice, nice nice. And after the practice me and one of my new roomies had some good stretching, massaging and watching a movie. Very chill and nice friday night! On thursday I spent a couple of hours with my au pair friend, just talking and we went for a long walk along a lake close by her house. And talking about her house, it was a long time since I spent time in a normal family household. Evrything was so clean and there was so much and different food in the fridge. Haha guess I've gotten used to living with young poeple with a lower budget, volunteers and students. Me and Clarissa, that's her name, talked about maybe taking a tour to the rockies. That's a thing Id like to see before I leave Canada, but then i realize that I don't even know how muh time I've left - will I have time to take a trip? I'm not really used to having a job where you can't get any many days off in a row.. Well well I'll hope for the best and that I'll be able to go at some point.

In lack of new photos - this one from my Quebec trip this summer :)

11 pm and I just got home from work - late! But it went so fast today. Busy night with chicken wings as the special, it's super cheap actually only $3.50 for ten wings(!) And today our dishwasher didn't show up so I got to jump in for him, haha fun with some variation. Don't really know if it's my thing though, I crashed a glass and a plate, oops. Got myself some baked spaghetti with meatballs for dinner, one of my favourites :)
.
Earlier today I went to yoga yaay, I'm good with keeping it up. And I went yesterday as well :) Yesterday I also 'fikade' (non-swedish people check the word up - a really good word which I miss in the english language :P) with a friend of mine, starbucks yup!
.
We got some new jerseys for my ultimate team the other day. Basketball style and reversible - sweet! I like it :D

Had a day off today :) Started the day by getting downtown and looking for a towel, didn't know how hard that would be. I failed finding one before the hot yoga class I was going to. Gosh it was hard. I went with Alex and Anne and we were all sore from yesterday's ultimate practice, which also was really tough! Lots of fitness, getting ready for the spring season which involves more tournaments, don't really know if I'll be able to play them though, since I might leave. Anyways, getting fit is never bad!
.
After yoga I went for lunch, I think that was the first time I went to an actual restaurant having a sit down meal all by myself. I enjoyed it though, had a nice japanese ginger beef meal :) Then I went shopping to a place where I knew they had towels - Walmart! Found what I needed and a bit more haha.

Green sportsbra from walmart and a shirt from Aritzia

Bra dag idag :) ha de fint!

Saturday night and I just got to my new "home" after work. I moved to two girls in my frisbee team who share a basement suite. Don't really know how long i'll stay here, it all depends on how long i'm going to stay in Canada...
.
Earlier today I went to hot yoga with Alex, my first time and I really liked it! I can't remember the last time I sweated so much, but it felt so nice. I actually bought a month pass so I'll try to go as many times as possible :) Proud mama now maybe? Yesterday I worked, had ultimate practice and then it was a party - good times!
.
I really like working at a rastaurant cause you get free food, saves me lots of money and I get a proper meal every day I work without me putting in an effort of making it, yaay! Today I had a Clubhouse Sandwich with yam fries so good. I had never had yam fries before I got to Canada and it's so good, do we even have it at home?
.
Hope you all are doing well! I do :)

Ojdå längesen jag tittade in här. Har haft det ganska fullt upp sedan jul. Julafton spenderades med skypning med familj och släktingar - mycket trevligt! På Juldagen blev det två 'Turkey Dinners' vilket är det som gäller i julmatsväg här. Blev supermätt och hade trevligt umgänge hela dagen. Saknade såklart familjen lite granna, och kan säga att det var under juletiden som jag hade den största saknaden jag haft sedan jag åkte hemifrån för lite mer än tio månader sedan, men det var inte så farligt. Sedan åkte jag till Vancouver, tog färjan över för att hälsa på en kompis jag träffade i somras under volontärperioden. Denna britt reste runt längs västkusten i USA och kom hela vägen upp till Kanada innan hon åkte hem till London igen. Det var jättekul att prata minnen och utforska Vancouver tillsammans. Jag stannade i Vancouver en natt och dagen efter var det en liten inomhus frisbeeturnerning på eftermiddagen. Kändes skönt att röra på benen igen efter allt julmatsätande! Tre lag och mitt lag slutade på andra plats så det var helt okej. Efter turnerningen gick jag och Alex (hon som jag bor hos) och käkade på en supergod hamburgerrestaurang yum yum.
.
Sedan var det lite jobb igen innan det var dags för nyårsfirande. Blev ett husparty med vitt tema, riktigt nice! Men det var inga fyrverkerier dock vilket var en liten besvikelse. Å andra sidan så träffade jag en svensk tjej och en dansk kille där så vi hade ett litet skandinaviskt samtal vilket var mycket trevligt. Jag uppskattar att få prata svenska irl nu förtiden!
.
Nu så är det jobb igen och tillbaka till 'vardagen' haha. Fortfarande inget nytt angående visat, så jag kanske kommer att vara hemma om två månader... vem vet vem vet?

Saknar sommarvärmen nu! San Diego Augusti
