Back in Sweden

So this is the first time since i got to Sweden that I've been able to sit down and write in the blog! Tobias and I first arrived in Stockholm on Tuesday, and there we spent time with his family and I went to my first ever football game. Yesterday, we arrived in Skåne and my grandfather came over and had dinner with us. I've also met my sister's new puppy (which I of course took millions of pictures of, and I will share some of them here!)

Although this was not the end of my time in London, as I will come back to do the final year in uni in September, it was still sad to leave and to say goodbye to everyone.

I've had the best experiences in London, and I've met loads of amazing people. Even if people may come and go there, the friendships you've had are truly meaningful and some of them have turned out to be some of the most important ones in my life. I will always be grateful to the city for what it made me into, and for all the things I've learnt there. I'm a different person now than I was 3.5 years ago, when I first moved there. When I left Sweden the first time I was Caroline, the naive, insecure, shy 19 year old who was thrilled if someone would bother talking to her ( it's true, you should have heard me telling my parents how many people I'd talked to after a day in uni - I was thrilled). Today, I  am Laurea. I'm more confident and outgoing than I ever was before.
