H&M, Postcards, and Neighbor Country Sittning

My class ended lectures on Tuesday, our exam is next Wednesday, and Kara comes on Sunday. I think Eric and I are making plans to go to Helsingborg on Saturday, and tonight is my tour des Chambres with the corridor.

And now stuff that's already happened. I had a sittning with mentorgroup 9 last night, our theme was 'Neighbor Countries', so you had to dress like one of the countries that borders yours. All the Swedes dressed as Danes, but to them, Danes must all dress like the flag, because they all wore red and white and painted their faces like the flag...hilarious. I tried to do Mexico, I wore a flower in my hair and my turquoise necklace, but it's hard to find good costume stuff. The Canadians were all Americans, clearly, they were like hilljack folk and went around talking in an accent all night, etc etc. Lisa was Swiss, she had a little green hat and a hiking stick and was soo cute. Bianka was Polish and wore red and white and leg warmers and this fur scarf thingy she bought at the flea market on Saturday. But Simon's costume was by far the best. By FAR. He's Swiss, so he dressed as an Italian guido, complete with fake chest hair and goatee. I'll put some pictures at the end of this post of everyone.

Anyway, it turns out I couldn't get into the sittning at first because I didn't have a nation stamp on my acceptance letter. That's because Sydskanska girl hadn't replied about my number, etc. So I emailed them again and she replied yesterday, but I couldn't get the stamp until today. So me and another girl went next door to Hallands, and luckily enough someone knew a forman there that could hook us up. So I signed up with Hallands nation. I don't know how it works exactly, maybe I won't pay the bill for them and will pay for Sydskanska, and it'll be ok? who knows. Anyway, the point is, I got in to the sittning. And THEN, we were sitting at the end of the last table, and they ran out of food. We still got food, it was just not as much as everyone else by far. So they gave us double dessert and an extra bottle of wine, which definitely made up for it. Then it was already time for the club to start, but some people went back with Petra to Erik's for the mellanfest (middle party), but the bar in the club was already open, so me and some others just stayed. And Eric and Mathias were there, and eventually everyone else came back too. It was a great time.

Now I must stop putting off my homework and room cleaning/decoration so I can be ready for this corridor party tonight...ack! I do have tomorrow totally free, so maybe I will take the day off. Or maybe not, Nora invited me to a pub night, so we'll see.


Heidi (Lisa) from Switzerland (Germany)


This is Will. He dressed Canadian and then someone was using his props against him.


The SweDanish look. There were probably 7 or 8 Swedes dressed like this.

And finally...

Yes. Simon is a D&G wearing, greasy, smooth talking Italian.
