This has been a very productive day.
Got on the bus and sat there for the three hours it takes to get to college. It didn't feel like that long though, since I met an old friend who apparently is also going to college. Sat down on the hard wood bench in long hallway, and waisted some time. Saw a real cutie pie, too bad he walked like he had to "powder his nose". Looked at the old people walking by. Looked at the kids walking by. There really aren't any people my age there! And NO ONE speaks with the accent that people have around here, they all sound like they're born and raised in Stockholm.
Time for class. Fortunately, no one else seemed to have read the text for today either. We got the assignment sheets for the final essay, and let me put it this way, if I get a passing grade on that essay, I'm sure to get the Nobel prize. This is supposed to be at the same level as the other classes I've had, but it's not. It's almost as advanced as a frigging Ph.D. You have to write 10-12 pages!! It's more than twice what I've ever written before! And we get graded on silly things like grammar and punctuation. Just add some slugs, and you have
Fear Factor for dummies.
But for some reason, I realized on the bus that I'm actually looking forward to flunking this class. I really want to study. There's a scary thought!
The professors are good, and they make you less intimidated with the whole thing by insisting on speaking Swenglish the entire time :)
The worst part is probably the Ventilation we're supposed to have at the end of the course. That's when we're supposed to criticize the other students' essays... We did have a similar thing in Stockholm, but not nearly as advanced.
Any way, finished class and had to RUN to catch the damned bus. Got there at the same time as the bus and sat there for an hour, reading, listening to some
Tiga and
Luda, enjoying the bluest of skies. Without even getting car sick! Had some food at a Chinese place and went to the gym. I managed to do everything that I had planned, even though it felt three times heavier than usual.
Later on, I went swimming but they must have turned off the heat in the pool. It might just as well have been ice...
