For the first month or so after I arrived in Sweden, I was worried that it was going to be a boring life here. Lund is a pretty small town with not a lot to do...especially when you don't have any money to spend. What worried me most was that my classes were only 3 days a week, 7 hours per week. What in the world would I do with the rest of my time?!

Problem solved. These days I'm running around all day everyday. My 'free days' are even busier than my school days. In addition to my regular classes I've picked up some Japanese classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. Swedish classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays (it's also kind of far away so in total it takes up about 4-5 hours of my evening to go to them). Then there's kickboxing 3-4 days a week. My first english student seems to have dissappeared because our schedules don't work together and i think he got fed up. But, I've picked up a new prospective student and a couple people looking for me to edit their thesis.

I've also got a couple papers for my new 'class'. It is just about the worst class ever. I thought it was just me that didn't like it but yesterday i got an email calling for a revolt. The problem is that the teacher seems to know nothing about the subject. She changes her opinion of the material 2-3 times in the course of a 1 1/2 hour class depending on comments from students. She didn't even read the course books before assigning them so many are not even relevant to the course. she assigns papers on anything of our choice dealing with globalisation ('from prostitution to environmental degredation to the failing furnature industry in Indonesia--anything that interests you!') and then tells us to re-write them because they didn't follow the topic assigned.sigh...

On a happy note though, last Friday we all got a chance to relax. Our department had a party. It was fun. Free food. There's a couple more pictures here.
