Done!

I'm finally done with almost all of Swedish. Took my last national test today. Wow it feels nice. I'm not sure how I did, but I feel that I passed at least. I'm hoping that I got an MVG, but I know I probably just got a G or VG. I never ever understood what was needed to get an MVG, which makes it really hard to get. Oh well. Tuesday I leave for the states, I've started doing laundry and collecting things to pack already. I can't believe it's so close.

On Sunday David and I will be making phone calls to EVERYONE whose rsvp card my mother hasn't received. Ugh. Not looking forward to it, but needs to be done. Missing about 10 cards from Sweden. According to tradition my mother would make the phone calls since she is hosting the party. I can't believe the number of people who think that just telling David via sms works instead of sending the nice printed invite card to my mother. It is my parents who are throwing the party, not us. Can't imagine why anyone else would ever try to tell someone that they're coming to a party someone else is hosting and hope the message gets through. I checked the Swedish etiquette website, and even in Sweden written invites require written responses. Oh well, can't expect everyone to follow conventions. I just wish the Swedes weren't the worst of the bunch. Doesn't make them look really good. I knew I should have put return postage on all of those things. We just didn't have the money.

My mother is really looking forward to me flying out there, she says she has tons of wedding stuff for me to do. I believe it! I'm slightly fearful of whatever she has planned, but I imagine I'll survive!

Man, it feels good to be done with the Swedish test. Took me about 5 hours of writing, but it's done!
