So, here I am, only 4 days left in Sweden! Obviously this is both a bad and a good thing, due to leaving here and everyone I've met, but also I'll be going back home, and Christmas, and things... I'll reflect more when I've got time after my return, right now I just wanted to put a brief update on recent and upcoming events.
Obviously there's a lot of partying going on, but I'm somewhat restricted in this side of things, as I'm also in the middle of my final exams for the semester. This a shame, as most people come back to do theirs in January and are thus free now, but I'm doing my best to spend as much time with people as possible :)
On Monday, Danielle, Jane and myself went Christmas shopping in Stockholm's gamla stan, which was fun...and for once it was actually cold! Much fun was had, and things bought.... Then Wednesday was the farewell dinner for all the international students, and also Lucia day! for those who don't know, Lucia is a Swedish festival of light meant to bring warmth in the darkest days of the year...well, that's the short version. If you really want to know more, you can read the 1000 word project I did on it in Swedish...
Anyway, that's it for now, just thought I'd keep up to date. Another exam this afternoon, then another party! So I'll leave anyone who's reading with this sign, spotted in Stockholm central station - clearly symbolic of my imminent return to Bol'on... :) (click on it to make it bigger...)
