pumpkin

I am done with chemistry courses for the rest of the semester!! It is a fantastic feeling. My exam was on Saturday. I think it was okay...there were definitely some things I wasn't sure about, but I think overall it went okay. This is a pass/fail class (all the classes here are pass/fail) so...I think I passed? It only took me three hours to complete the final. I thought for sure I forgot a problem or something, but I went through it at least four times making sure I didn't miss anything.

Now I have a whole week off before my next course starts. I'm still not sure if I want to take Media Analysis or Development Economics, but I am just going to enroll in both and see which I like most. Until then I am going to focus on Swedish class and making plans for travel! So far on the list I have: Oslo/Bergen, Norway- Nov 6-9, Coppenhagen, Denmark-Nov 27-29, and then Northern Sweden (to hopefully see the Northern Lights) December 4th-7th...then back to Cali for Christmas!

Today me and Claire carved pumpkins. I didn't even carve a pumpkin last year. It's something about being away from your country that makes you really patriotic! I want to celebrate everything the way we do at home! Here's my pumpkin, I need to think of a good Swedish name for it.
I was trying to make the same face as it. Turns out my teeth aren't pointy enough.

We also made pumpkin seeds. Soooo good.


annnd thats that for now
