That is a sweet ending, except for the parenthesis, isn't it? Sadly I just realised it isn't really true. The hardest thing is starting at 7.40 tomorrow, meaning I will have to get out of bed at 6.10. I know I said I would write in german today as well but I came home one hour ago, have been writing since then and I really need to go to bed now. I hope to write this post in german on monday or tuesday instead. In worst case you german people will at least get to read german when I'm coming back to Freiburg in two weeks.
I came back to Sweden 1/3, 4.5 months ago. Since then I havn't really had much to do. I signed up for 2 distance courses in journalistics but even if I did put down a lot of time on every task I got it was still only 2 short texts a week. Tomorrow I'll start working as a sports trainer for kids like I've done the last 3 summers. I'm really looking forward to it. It is an exhausting job, teaching 15 kids at the same time is tough, keeping control of 15 kids at the same time is tough, my work is those two put together. ... So why do I love it? Well, the kids might be annoying, unfocused and exhausting. but most of all they are wonderful. Seeing them learn and understand, seeing how they change from being uncertain, shy and missing mommy the first hour on Monday to being full of joy and loving it all when our week together is coming to an end. Seeing them make new friends with one another and getting happy as they get better and better. Hearing them say 55 when asked to guess my age because of me having a beard. The hardest thing on the camp isn't really to keep the kids focused and so, the hardest is when you have to say goodbye. The money I get is nothing compared to hearing the kids say that they will miss me and that they can't wait til next year. (That doesn't mean I don't want the money of course, I would work for a week just for the fun of it even if I didn't get paid but perhaps not three as I'll be doing now.)

Me myself had a job like that last summer. I was terrible tired in the end of the day. Good luck!

Ett så viktigt arbete. Alla barn behöver röra på sig.

3.5 months indeed. Just got back home and indeed I'm tired, and will be the coming days as well but it's totally worth it.
