... a quarter past because otherwise "it wouldn't be fair to the students". *However, classes at Lund are not at all guaranteed to start at the same day, time, or place that they did they week before. In fact, as all new students come to find out, the times and location of classes are very likely to change through out the term, and it is up to the student to remain vigilant in discovering the updated information. For instance ...

... so I intentionally set off for home from a counterintuitive direction. After kind of a long time (I'm still not real sure how long 2 kilometers takes to walk) I came to a fairly large intersection. I knew from experience that one (very not good for me) way leads out of town, and the other (good) way leads towards the center of town, where I live. So I asked this couple walking towards me which way led to the ...

... hasn't happened yet. I will try to take some tomorrow. I like Lund alot so far, the weather reminds me of Portland during the rainy season, but more breezy and humid. The people are nice here, but everything is way expensive. I'd say anywhere between 10- 25% more expensive than in the US. Not including alcohol...that expensivness is in a realm by itself. Ok, will report more tomorrow! With pictures too hopefully!

... shorthanded on the busiest week of the summer. My job interview consisted of, do you have a work permit, which I do, and my start time for the following day. Since that weekend I have been working full time at the shop. It's a cool place, I work with 11 Swedish girls and I am the token male ☺ Now things here are beginning to die down, all the kids start school again this week and the ...

... were back up. Staffan yelled to release the guides and the spinnaker was released and was flying in the air just slapping the air and the ropes were jerking. They fastened the ropes to wench the spinnaker back into the boat. And after all the craziness it was calm again. Because we were already pretty out of the game we took it easy and used the jib as a spinnaker. To do so we needed to have the jib to hang the opposite as it usually does. So Gugge jumped in and basically acted ...

... at this it is not a good idea to have a lot a wind when learning, but Staffan is excited about getting to go out windsurfing. The sucky thing about windsurfing is that most of the time, the weather is less than ideal when the conditions are best to do so. Where Staffan's parents are moving is one of the best places to windsurf in Sweden and directly north of Lomma Beach. I prefer to stay in the car onshore during these endeavors and take pictures. Brr ...

... a guest lecturer. He was from Britain and talked about int'l business negotiation and was pretty interesting. Ultimately the only major impact of the change meant my long 'weekend' would start a day later. It was a pretty low key night as Garrett, Nikki, and Katie (fellow OSU exchangers) were leaving the next day for trips so they couldn't hang out. A lot of Swedes had tests this week as well so it left Laura and I to drink quietly in my room ...

... night. It's a fraction of the price to go there to drink and dance then anywhere else in the city. Its student exclusive as well which is better to just hangout with peers and not have creepy sexual predators in their 30's and up trying to dance to a Fergi song. The Vastgota nation (VG's) is the nation I may end up joining as many of the int'l students are in it. I have also been to the Ostgota nation multiple ...

After a quick (real quick) stop in Denmark, I went back to the S of Sweden to a place called Angleholm. Helena used to live there and we based ourselves there once again for a few days. One of the days we took a day trip to Hestra, which is actually a small town about 150km from Angleholm. You may know that I also work with Hestra gloves ...

... pleased/interested to meet her sister these people mostly just said hello and carried on with what they were doing. Not rudely, just not that interested. After a while at that flat, where I was struggling not to choke on the smell of cigarette smoke, we left and headed back in to town. Sarah and I went to McDonalds for lunch while her vegetarian boyfriend endured the smell for a while and then escaped outside. We were good girls and phoned our mum! I was tired out and headed ...
