First things first, Daisy came today (and Tom's letter)! So I'm listening to it right now. I bleed Brand New. They are inside my soul somehow. It's crazy. I know.
The rest of Kara's stay was really fun, it was just unfortunate that she came
a.) the few days before my exam
b.) from Sunday to Wednesday, instead of the fun part of the week. Which is Wednesday - Saturday.
We walked around Lund on Monday and shopped and checked a bunch of stuff out. The Domkyrkan really is way awesome. I bought some boots! They are short and black and I love them. Having Kara ride around on the back of my bike was an interesting experience. All the Swedes make it look really easy, but it's no small feat to have two people balancing at the same time, but we did it.
Also, my mom's package came this week and I had to bike all the way to Nöbbelövsvägen...through the suburban area of Lund and also there was a potato field and horse pasture and a cool park, in which I discovered the BEST sledding hill. So if it even does snow and stay for a while, I'm going to figure out a way to make that happen. But anyway, I eventually got my package so I could upload pictures finally. You can see all of them on facebook...162 so far and I took more last night.
My first exam for Sequence Analysis was on Wednesday morning. I'm pretty sure I passed, or I'm close. But if I failed, I get another chance to pass, so all is well. After my exam, I came home to sleep a little to make up for my late night of studying and then went to meet Sarah D. at Matteannexet (Math annex bldg) to buy tickets for the Sea Battle. The Sea Battle is put on by ESN (Erasmus Student Network) for students on exchange in Estonia, Finland, and Sweden. It's an overnight cruise from Stockholm to Tallinn and then back. The tickets include food and drinks (except hard liquor) for 1000 kr...which is less than $200. Tickets were going on sale at 4pm, so to be 'safe', we got there at klocka 15.30 (as they say in Swedish). Well, turns out there were people waiting since like 10 am and Lund only has 124 tickets available. So we didn't even wait and gave up. So not worth six hours of waiting. Then I went on the big journey of picking up my package. I saw the cutest tiger-tuxedo cat along the way. I wanted to take her home. She looked mischievous. Then, my class planned to go the sports pub at Hallands nation at 7pm. It was fun, and a bunch of the Germans(Lisa, Jonas, Andy and Markus(they count as one), Bianka, and Antonia) and Simon and Camilla were there as well planning their weekend trip to Stockholm. I really wanted to join, but my Biostatistics class has homework due on Monday and they weren't coming back till Monday night. Oh well, some other time. Simon and Jonas went to VGs after, and I thought about it, but decided against spending the 50 kr cover.
Last night I went to Sarah M.'s corridor and then we went to ÖGs club. It was not crowded at all, but there were a lot of fun people there, and it was a great time. Completely worth the 50 kr that night. And today, I've been in class and need to make a run to the Systembolaget before it closes at 6...stupid government controlled alcohol sales. I'm going to Monika's flat to pre-party and then, this is the time that Sarah D., Monika and I will ACTUALLY get in to Hallands club...lol. I hope.
I'm trying to think if there is anything else...does anyone have any specific questions? LOL. Here are some pictures...
