In Lund till June
Sorry for my poor blogging record......I am ashamed, but make no promises of getting more regular in the future.
This has been a good week. I thought I was going to be really stressed spending the week trying to learn a whole masters subject worth of international macroeconomics (read: maths) for an exam next week and writting and essay and preparing for a class presentation. That was until I found out a couple of days ago that I can just do the exam in November instead......I Love Sweden!!! I also got conformation that I can stay here for one more semester, so looks like Lund will be my home until June next year. I'm really excited about that, one semester is way too short! Only problem with it is that almost all of my friends are going home at the end of this semester, I will miss them a lot. But im on a friend hunt for people who will be here next semester.... i'm confident I can catch a few!
I went to amsterdam a couple of weekends ago.....it was tops catching up with sez, shell, emily and Nu. We went to art galleries, ann frank house, rode bikes around the canels, ate lots, saw more prostitutes in windows than I ever hope to ever again in the red light district, got offered cocaine in the street, experienceed what it feels like to be a bottle at the heineken experience (for the record being a bottle is rather unexciting, but amusing none the less) and more. A highlight was going and staying out at Nu's (a school friend) place in Utrecht.....she is on exchange there like me. Its a cute little city and most importantly sells some amazing waffles at the market! Thanks for introducing me to the waffle Nu!!
hanging out in a pub (emily, me, shell & sez)
and on a canel (me, sez, nu & emily)
I went to Denmark for the night a couple of weekends ago to celebrate shells b'day....It was a really lovely night......and it was also fun being able to get on a train for an hour, go on a bridge/tunnel over the ocean and end up in another country for the night!
Mum, emily, shell and lisha and others out the front of my favourite cafe in Lund....its kinda like a funky brunswick st kinda place. It was great to have mum and dad here for the week...... im guessing they wont be back to visit me or on any kind of international flight after their interesting plane experiences that included missing a flight, their baggage being lost for 5 days and nearly getting deported from India for not having a visa.....not cool!! They are finally home now.
Brad (from the US) and Dave (from Adelaide), getting free condoms and having the "where did I come from" talk from a swedish social worker....good times!

Hey Pen, sounds like all is great on the other side of the world! All is good back here...Anyways be good or be good at it!!!
Hey Pen,
You're staying another semester? I did not know that. At least you'll get to dispel the myth that there is actually a "summer"in Sweden.
See you on the 15-20th maybe?!
