She is really looking forward to the new school year at the her new school, for all kinds of reasons. She&#8217;s looking forward to a fresh start in a new class and making new friends. She will be going to a class with a maths and science profile, which is great because she loves these subjects and has been complaining for years that maths class is just too easy and she doesn&#8217;t get any more challenging tasks even though the teachers promise in each parent-teacher conference that she will. Her previous class was kind of noisy and relatively disorderly, and she has high hopes that this class will be better because it&#8217;ll be made up of students who actually want to be there and study.<\/p>\n<p>And the new school itself seems great. There is a giant library, and all the classrooms (especially the science rooms) look inspiring, and the kids get their own computers and lockers. LOCKERS! Did I mentions lockers? The rest of the school could probably look like a junkyard and Ingrid would still look forward to being there because LOCKERS. She is so happy to get her own little corner where she can have her stuff and not have to carry it around or worry about it getting lost.<\/p>\n<p>She is also looking forward to Comic Con in September. She will be browsing and buying pop culture stuff for an entire weekend and has saved up money for it long in advance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The list of Ingrid&#8217;s favourites below is a mix of questions I asked and categories she added. It hadn&#8217;t even occurred to me that one would have a favourite YouTuber for example.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\nHobbies: reading, gaming, board games, drawing. She also likes learning odd skills, such as popping bottle top liners or distance-spitting cherry pits.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nOther activities: roller coasters and water parks\n<\/li>\n<li>\nSchool subject: maths when it is hard; crafts\n<\/li>\n<li>\nFuture job: games programmer\n<\/li>\n<li>\nBest friends: Majken and Benjamin\n<\/li>\n<li>\nWords: <i>kummaline<\/i> (meaning strange or weird) and <i>m\u00fcstiline<\/i>. Especially <i>kummaline<\/i>. It&#8217;s almost becoming a joke between us; she winks at me when she calls things <i>kummaline<\/i>.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nColours: mint green and turquoise.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nMovie: <i>Ready player one<\/i>, hands down.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nBooks: <i>Classroom of the elite<\/i>, <i>Hunger games<\/i>, <i>Ender&#8217;s game<\/i>. (School-age kids doing tough stuff.)\n<\/li>\n<li>\nManga: <i>Gun gale online<\/i>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nAnime: <i>Kakegurui<\/i>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nSeries: <i>Steven Universe<\/i>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nGames: <i>Overwatch<\/i>, <i>Slime rancher<\/i>, <i>Wipeout<\/i>, and the board game <i>Mysterium<\/i>.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nMusic: <i>Hamilton<\/i> the musical, &#8220;Centuries&#8221; by Fall Out Boy, &#8220;Uma Thurman&#8221; also by Fall Out Boy, &#8220;Radioactive&#8221; by Imagine Dragons.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nYoutuber: Aki Dearest\n<\/li>\n<li>\nFood: sushi\n<\/li>\n<li>\nFruit: paraguayo peaches, watermelon, crisp green apples, blackberries, blueberries. She likes her peaches and apples much harder and less ripe than I do.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nDrink: Virgin mojito\n<\/li>\n<li>\nIce cream flavour: mint chocolate\n<\/li>\n<li>\nCountry: Japan, for its sushi, anime and manga\n<\/li>\n<li>\nClothes: zip-up hoodies, especially her Ravenclaw hoodie\n<\/li>\n<li>\nSuper power: transform into anything\n<\/li>\n<li>\nThing: a large marshmallow-shaped super soft plushie with the face and ears of a dog, known in the house as &#8220;shmallow&#8221; or &#8220;pluffen&#8221;.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nAnimal: hedgehog. Hedgehogs have become like a mascot for her, because her nickname at school used to be Iggi, and hedgehogs are called &#8220;igelkott&#8221; in Swedish, so she was &#8220;igelkotten Iggi&#8221;.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nSport: dancing\n<\/li>\n<li>\nPlace: the armchair in her room, and the corner seat in the sofa\n<\/li>\n<li>\nShops: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firebox.com\/\">Firebox<\/a> and Gamestop\n<\/li>\n<li>\nMeans of travel: ferry, like the one that goes to Estonia\n<\/li>\n<li>\nTime: evening, when the house is quiet and it is dark outside and she can hang in her room\n<\/li>\n<li>\nSeason: autumn, because it is beautiful with all the colors, and pleasantly cool so she can wear her hoodies, and because it&#8217;s when her birthday is.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(I haven&#8217;t done any monthly posts in a long time and probably won&#8217;t be picking that habit up again.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingrid is really looking forward to beginning seventh grade.
