Hej! (Pronounced “Hey!”)

The last week has been mostly school work as my one month class is drawing to a close. The final home essay is due on Thursday and I just have a bit more to do. This is obviously different from what I’m used to. No essays in a computer science course!

Had choir last night as usual. It’s actually turning out to be a pretty fun group! I tried to get into a different choir but they seemed a bit high brow so this will be more fun. The guys are singing the melody to “Your Song” and I seem to be both the only native English speaker and the only one who has heard the song…oh well.

Just before choir yesterday I received a text from SJ (the Swedish train company) saying basically “Hej! Your train back from Stockholm next Monday is cancelled. Sorry!” then about four minutes later, “Hej! Whoops, nevermind, disregard that!”. Way to get me worked up for about four minutes, SJ…thanks. I head to Stockholm at 5:54am on this Friday! (It was the cheapest ticket of the day) That should get me there just before 10:00am leaving nearly a full day to explore. I’ll come back on Monday evening.

Yesterday it got colder for the first time and I think it’s probably going downhill from here. Currently 42F feels like 38F as I write this at just past nine in the morning…brrrr!
