So it is no stretch to say that since I started my Swedish Language class with other UC students on Tuesday, my Swedish experience has catapulted into pure amazingness. When you're in this type of situation, you all band together, it's fascinating and great at the same time; and I've enjoyed every second with my new friends since then. I greatly enjoy my Swedish teacher, Mai, she's an older woman with blonde hair and large dimples on either side of her face. She always dresses rather chic, always accentuating an outfit with the traditional black. She speaks to us completely in Swedish, with accompanying hand gestures to maneuver us through the language. Mai has a pretty incredible sense of humor and an even better laugh and smile, and always manages to make the class pretty bearable and funny.
A large part of Lund University student's lives are the "nations," which is a sort of blend of a fraternity and a sorority. Different nations do different activities, usually consisting of the general pub, club and bar nights. Last night, a lot of the UC kids went to Lunds Nation for their party in the "Penthouse" of the corridor with a beautiful nighttime view of Lund. We get to the door when two security guards tell us that there are only three people upstairs, I then tell one of the guys that I'm going to head home..at which point he coaxes me into staying..guess I'm a little gullible. Slowly people start flowing in until is the epicenter of Swedish-ness: all beautiful men and women, generally tall, generally blonde hair with undeniable eye for fashion. It almost hurt to be around so many attractive people at once. The DJ was playing great remixes, and at one point I was singing an Eminem song with some of the UC kids while the Swedish kids tried to follow along and it began sounding like gibberish. The music stopped playing at 2 a.m., and we went to two different houses after that with some of the Swedes..only to arrive home at 4:45 a.m., with a class at 9. Oh to be in Sveeden.
