Wedding Planning

Well, the invites have been sent out and now we're just waiting for people to say if they are coming or not. My mom has gotten one of the response cards back already. Yea! We've got so much more planning and stuff to do though. There's still music choices to be made, a dance to be learned, and 100s of other small things to do. We have bought our plane tickets now, which I'm sure will make everyone else happy. I get to be in the US for 1.5 months and David for about a month. It'll be so much fun!

In other news I've FINALLY gotten my grades back from the people who were 'translating' them. It only took them 6 months and the end result? A single sided piece of paper, saying that I've got about 8 classes above and beyond what I need to get into University, and that I still need Swedish. Ok fine, but it DOES mean that it changes my study plans for the fall. Originally I was trying to get into something called a 'teknisk basår' or technical base year. It'd give me all the math and science I need to get into an engineering program. Except now I only need 3 classes, one math and two science. The guidance counselor thinks I can get an exception for the two science classes and take those two next year, BUT I need the math. So I'm now going to spend the next month frantically trying to learn a year's worth of math. It doesn't look as hard as I first expected. The D course (the one I'm missing) seems relatively easy. The hard part is going to be getting through the C course first. I've got that class on paper, but since they break up the classes differently here, lots of it is new. Today I'm going to go try and track down a book for the D class, and a teacher, and a few other things as I try to get everything into order. Fun fun fun? Not completely sure, but it's a shot! Worse comes to worse and I just do the technical base year and start in the spring or fall with my actual studies.
