Class hath begun

Day Two of class was a success! Besides getting slightly lost on my way to class. I kept just following the crowds of bikes, but turns out they weren't all going to the same place I was. Lesson learned. Oh ya, I got a bike finally. It was SO expensive to. 1500 kronar, and I had to buy a lock (70 kronar) and I still need a basket and a bell (I heard you could get a ticket for not having a bell).

Class only went to 3 today, our lab doesn't actually start until Friday, then I'll be puttin in them long 8-5 days. They give us lots of breaks though, like a 5 min break every hour. A SWEDISH PERSON TALKED TO ME TODAY! The first one to initiate a conversation with me. I couldn't believe it. I didn't even get his name though. Not that big of a deal, I most likely would not be able to pronounce it. He asked me if I was an exchanged student and I said yes and he could tell from my English that I was American (Go America!). He told me that they were debating yesterday whether or not I was Swedish (apparently the northface jacket made me look Swedish?).

Anyways I'm excited to go on with my class work. I've never used a Mass Spectrometer before and thats a huge part of this class, so thats really exciting. And I've used a lot of instruments that the Swedes haven't used yet (NMR, IR, etc) so I'm hoping I'll have a little bit of an advantage, but the machines could be completely different than the ones we have at Cal Poly.

Everybody is going out to Sneirkes Nation tonight. Tuesdays are big party nights. Weird huh? I have class every day at 8am sooooo I'll be staying in. Thats fine with me though.

Let me know if there's anything you want to hear about that I haven't talked about! Hope all is well on the North American continent :)
