weeeeekend

The weekend was a success! I definitely got to relax like I was hoping to. First night we went to Sneirkes Nation. Mostly dancing and hanging out with people. I have a friend Marielle from France that I spend most of my night with. We were with this Swedish girl (can't remember her name...I am terrible with names), and she kept saying we look like sisters (we do not). Here's a picture from the night. Marielle is on the left, me in the middle, Californian friend Claire on the right.

I met an Australian guy and we had SO much in common. Well he plays hockey (I used to...sorta) his favorite team is the Red Wings, he's right handed but plays with a left-handed hockey stick (me too...I can that my dad for that one)...I think there was more. But eh, it was fun talking about it for a bit. I guess they're going to try to get a hockey team together with their nation, so I hope I can watch a game sometime! Sports here aren't big at all :(

I think the most fun I had all night was biking home with Claire. We were just in a good mood and the air was fresh from rain. We just yelled (Ooooooo OOOOOOOO) and laughed. It was really fun.

Saturday we went to Flogsta, which is housing for students. It holds the most international students and I really wish I lived there! It's SO much closer to my classes and people there are a lot more social. I would still have my own room so alone time wouldn't be a problem. Mostly I'm just sick of biking 30 minutes to class every morning (at 7 am ...and its always a lot colder then, so I bring big jackets...and then I get hot biking and I start my day all sweaty...and then have to bring all my big clothes back when its hot after class, I could complain all day about it). Any ways...we just hung out with some international students, drank some delicious Croation wine that our Croation friend (she is on the right) brought. The girl in the middle is Celine, also from France.


Yum yum yum yum
Then we taught all the Swedes how to play quarters. It was pretty entertaining. Our friends from Illinois invited us over for some light night American food. And we ate SO much. First we made a fluffernutter, then had a hot dog, then a piece of pizza. It was amazing. Claire even wrapped her hot dog in a piece of pizza instead of a hot dog bun. Ahahah I love American food.

And thaaaat was my weekend. Not super exciting, but much better than class all day :/
Now I get to study NMR and figure out how to do flash chromotography! It seems pretty easy though...
