Me levantaba ilusionado tras no haber dormido demasiado. Había llegado el día que había estado esperando meses.
Poco tiempo después ya estaba en el coche camino a Santiago. Tras algo más de una hora de viaje, enseguida estaba facturando, despidiéndome de mis familiares y pasando el control que tanto odio.
Y ya dejaba España para no volver en dos meses. El viaje en el avión transcurría sin nada destacable, salvo por una especie de postre suizo que nos sirvieron, con un olor especialmente difícil de aguantar.
Estuvimos muy poco tiempo haciendo escala en Zúrich, de hecho no fui ni siquiera al baño.
El vuelo hasta Estocolmo se hizo aburrido, estábamos todos deseando llegar a Täby y conocer a nuestras familias (eso sí, esta vez dije claramente que no quería ningún tipo de comida suiza).
Al aterrizar, nos esperaba la profesora de español del instituto sueco. Fuimos en taxi hasta el instituto (donde tuve que viajar atado en una silla de ruedas, aunque reconozco que me gustó bastante).
Y allí me esperaba mi compañera sueca, Amy, con su madre y su hermano. Hicimos unos recados, y fuimos hasta casa. Allí conocí a su padre y su hermana pequeña. Me instalé rápidamente y cené (¡a las seis!) una tabla de platos variados, que dicho de paso, estaba deliciosa. Les di los regalos a mi familia de acogida y tras algo de conversación, me acosté temprano. Había sido un día agotador.
Shortly after that, the car was on the way to Santiago. After more than an hour away, I was billing soon, saying goodbye to my family and doing the flight control (I hate it).
And I was leaving Spain for two months. The trip on the plane happened without unremarkable things, except for a sort of Swiss dessert we were served with a particularly hard to stand smell.
We stopped in Zurich for a few minutes, in fact I was not even in the bathroom.
The flight to Stockholm was boring, we were all looking forward to going to Täby and meet our families (yes, this time clearly I said I didn't want any type of Swiss food).
After landing, we met the Spanish teacher of the Swedish school. We went by taxi to school (where I had to travel strapped in a wheelchair, though I admit that I really liked it).
And there was waiting my Swedish partner, Amy, with her mother and brother. We bought some things, and went home. I met his father and younger sister there. I settled quickly and had dinner (at six!) It was a table of various dishes, which incidentally, was delicious. I gave gifts to my host family and after some little talks, I went to bed early. It had been a tiring day.

Sonaba la alarma del móvil a las 6.35. Bajé rápido a desayunar pero para mi sorpresa no había nadie abajo. Tras subir y repetir la operación un par de veces, vi a Amy y me confirmó que hoy no entraba a las 8.40, si no a las 9.40 (saliendo de casa a las 8.30). Desayuné una manzana y café y salimos a por el bus.
Tras atravesar un bosque llegamos a la parada del bus. Después de viajar unos diez minutos, bajamos y subimos directamente al ferry (el cual es completamente gratuito, comprensible ya que es la única manera de salir de la isla donde vive Amy, que roza los 1000 habitantes.
El viaje en barco fue mejor de lo esperado, apenas noté que se movía.
Subimos a otro bus y llegamos a clase de español. Fue bastante gracioso porque el libro estaba diseñado de una manera muy formal, tratando siempre de usted. Tras un breve paso por las taquillas (sí, taquillas), fuimos a clase de historia. La verdad me parece una asignatura perfectamente planeada. Quiero decir, hoy hablaban sobre China y no se centraban en saber exactamente el día en el que pasó algo, si no por qué pasó, por ejemplo, que China sea una potencia económica tan grande como EE.UU. pero no sepamos tanto como de esta última (presidente, principales compañías, etc.) Me parece un sistema mucho más justo y práctico.
Como cada alumno tiene su propio horario y el número de clases difiere de un día a otro, hoy solo tuve dos. Luego comí en el instituto algo de arroz y ensalada.
Cuando acabamos, fui con el resto de españoles, Amy y Elin (la sueca de Antía) al Täby Centrum, un gran centro comercial justo al lado del instituto.

Nueve nuggets de pollo en el McDonalds llenaron el vacío que a mi estómago le había supuesto la comida del instituto.
Más tarde, hicimos el camino de vuelta a casa. Cené estofado hecho por Amy, muy rico, escribí en el blog, hablé por Skype con mi familia y dormí.
After crossing a forest we reached the bus stop. After traveling about ten minutes, we got out and wentdirectly to the ferry (which is completely free, understandable as it's the only way out of the island where Amy lives, which is almost 1000 inhabitants).
The boat trip was better than expected, I didn't notice that it moved.
We caught another bus and went to Spanish class. It was pretty funny because the book was designed in a very formal way, always treating as 'usted' and not 'tú'. After a litle break at the lockers (yes, lockers), we went to history class. It seems to me a perfectly planned subject. I mean, today they spoke about China and did not focus on knowing the exact day when something happened, but why happened, for example, that China is a big economic power as the US but we do not know as much of China as the US (president, major companies, etc.). I think that's a much more fair and workable system.
As each student has their own schedule and the number of classes differs from day to day, today I only had two lessons. Then I ate at the institute some rice and salad.
When we finished, I went with the rest of Spanish students, Amy and Elin (Antía's Swedish partner) to Täby Centrum, a large mall right next to school.
Nine chicken nuggets in McDonalds filled the empty place that my stomach was.
Later, we made our way back home. I had dinner: beef curry made by Amy, delicious, I wrote on the blog, I talked on Skype with my family and slept.

My mobile alarm rang at 6.35. I went downstairs to have breakfast quickly but surprisingly there was no one there. After going upstair and repeat this habit a few times, I saw Amy and I confirmed that today she was going to school at 9.40 (leaving home at 8.30), and not at 8.40. I had breakfast (coffee and an apple) and wet straight away to the bus.After crossing a forest we reached the bus stop.
