I've been really busy with Uni work lately. We get two assignments every week, and we also have a lot of reading to do. Our first two essays has to be submitted next week, so I've been working on those almost every day. 

I have also been to a job interview and a Zumba audition. Both these places seems to be good gyms, and I already know that I passed my audition and they put me on the cover list. And also, I have that other Zumba job starting in November. Only a couple of weeks left. 

I'm on my way to Uni, and later today Ellis and I are flying to Sweden! I have never been excited about going back to Sweden before, but this time I'm really excited. I just can't wait to see my parents and friends. We already have every day planned, and I just feel so happy about going home. 

First week of University is over. My schedule is perfect, I'm in Monday-Wednesday 09.00-15.00, and Thursday 12.00-15.00. I'm studying five subjects: Business, Accounting, Hospitality, Study Skills and Management, and then I have extra classes in Maths and English. Maths and Accounting will definitely be my biggest struggle this year, but I think it's only the first term that we have those subjects. After a year I get a SQA Diploma, and if I wish to continue I can study two more years and get a degree. 

 

There are people from all around the world in my class: Japan, Holland, Brazil, Italy, Jamaica, Ghana, Nepal, Pakistan are just some of them. And then we have the Swedish Clan. I think we are maybe 6-7 Swedes, and I got to know some of the girls. The class is small, I think we are 25 or something, but I kind of like it.

 

 

On Saturday Ellis and I went to Bicycle Film Festival. We watched two films, BMX and Urban Bikes. I couldn't even imagine that films like that could be interesting, but they really were. 

Also, we have booked tickets to Sweden! Wednesday night to Sunday morning in a couple of weeks! :) It's gonna be great to see my family and friends again. 

I almost started University yesterday. I mean, I went there for registration. I was there maybe for an hour, and I met my first (and so far, my only) friend. A Chinese guy, the only person who was there at the same time as I was. We tried to talk a little, but because of different accents it was hard to understand each other. Tomorrow I have my induction day, and then the real deal starts on Monday.

 

These last days I've also: tried English ginger bread men (don't do it, it's nothing like real pepparkakor), tried Dancehall at pineapple, bought a membership in the dance studio, and been shopping with Ellis. I bought a Winter coat, some dance clothes, and just some basic stuff. This is probably the only time I'm buying clothes this year, unless I get rich while studying.
