On the 309

Well it has been a very interesting week to say the least. We went raindear seperating, raindear are not that big but they dont like to be grabbed by the antlers and they put up a heck of a good fight when you do. But how many people in there life time can say they helped seperate raindear in the artic circle? and in - 16 degree weather i might add. Everyone was just so happy and relaxed. everyone seemed to know each other and had no problem with including us, i found it rather touching. So that was wed. i spent the next day in band practice till friday in the morning we actually had the dance. it was alot of fun, the rules are if someone asks you to dance you cant say no and you have to dance for the entire song. It was really funny to watch the teachers grabbed the really shy boys in the back and dance but everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves, it was a day well spent. Then the day started to go down hill fast. We opened grottan and we didnt think really anyone would come because the 9th graders were doing the lucia show agian that night from 8 to 9 and at first i was right till they started pouring in. We were packed in there and kids just reeked of alchohol. After a while i poked my head into the back room to check in and make sure everything was ok and the minute i opened the door the rushing smell of beer hit me in the face. I walked in and one of the kids playing pool who we know from östra walks over and says sam! try swedish beer. at this point im and truly pissed off. I take it when he hands it to me and i tell him that he cant drink at grottan and i walked to the back door and procceded to poor the dang stuff out. when i got back in i found alyssa trying to get a kid out who was so drunk he couldnt stand nor really speak and the kid i took the beer from was fighting with another kid. So i ran and got Elis (AKA the swedish hulk) and he grabbed them and pulled them all outside. Well the one kid wasnt happy about that and while going up the stairs out side he kicks a window and breaks it. Some other people walked the group home and i was happy to be rid of them. It was a rather depressing end to a depressing day. Saturday morning i went lifting with my friends markus and richard then we stopped at the bakery\ coffee shop in town and just talked. it was one of the most content feelings i ve had since i been here. just hanging out with friends talking and eating. Just relaxing and having fun. Well im tired of writing and this is really long so for those who read this stay safe and your always in my prayers.
Sincerly,
