Sorry it's been so long. Nothing really exciting has happened, so I've put off blogging about it. My Biostatistics class is pretty labor-intensive. We have three homeworks and 4 computer labs and a computer project. I know that may not sound like a lot, but keep in mind that this course is only 4 weeks long. It's SO much material for that amount of time. I'm afraid of the exam, but so far I think we(my partner Jochen and I) have gotten all the points on the hw and labs. So that'll help. I only have to get 50% to pass, 85% is more than satisfactory, but it doesn't matter because I only get transfer credit anyway. So, I hate being the underachiever, but I only need to pass.
Sarah Dews and I went to Sarah Moyneur's birthday party on Friday. After some shuffling of locations, we ended up at Sparta, where we met an absolutely completely drunk 27 year old (28 this month) Swede named Erik Johanssen. That's like the most Swedish name you can have. On top of that, he could barely stand, let alone speak proper English. Every time he couldn't think of a word, he just growl/roared instead. We then went on to call him Fun Time Erik, or FTE, for short, for the rest of the night, which didn't last very long. The party was good, but it had come about in such a round about way, I was exhausted by the time everyone was getting into it and Sarah Dews and I went home.
I have new boots! I got them when Kara was here, but I'd like to note how awesome they are. Boots and tights are like the Swedish girl's uniform. And I love it. Kristen Krueger, tights can be worn as pants, and under dresses, tunics, or skirts. And it's good and warm and cute.
This weekend, I'm going to do SOMETHING. I don't care whether it's by myself or someone comes along, I just don't want to party in Lund and grocery shop and clean my room for another weekend. So my plan is to go to Copenhagen or Gothenburg, or both, for that matter. Gothenburg is like two hours away by train, but it's Sweden's second largest city and seems cool. But of course I also want to do Copenhagen, too.
And then, I leave for Ireland the week after that! My first big trip! And after I get back, I take an exam, turn in a film essay, send my Russian visa application off to the Finnish travel agency, and then I'm free! Monika and I are going to Stockholm for Halloween weekend, and the weekend after that I'm going to Prague to see Kara. And the next weekend is free, but I am going to book a flight to Krakow in the next couple days so I can do the Poland thing. Then RUSSIA for a week. And after that, class starts again :-( but Christmas break is in the middle there somewhere and I still want to go to Berlin and Amsterdam and Brussels. It'll be awesome.
