Well, I am about two weeks in at this point. I'm kinda anticipating school's start soon, I am about ready to fall into some sort of sustainable habit. I suppose I have the capacity for setting one up myself, but at the moment, not the will. It's been a while since I took some time to collect myself.
I'm really not feeling very homesick yet. Maybe it's still to come, but I feel very confident in my ability to stand on my own two feet. I feel prepared, like I've got the right attitude for this.
Swedish is coming along nicely. I ordered a sandwich today and the guy behind the register understood me, so that's encouraging. Apparently my accent is so thick and my emphasis so screwy that I'm hardly intelligible much of the time. It's a tough language! Thank God these people speak English.
Oh, I met some of my fellow exchange students today. There's this guy from Charleston named John who I swear to God looks and sounds exactly like a young Coach Inserra. And this Australian-- Tom-- who looks just like Alex Steele. Most seem to be pretty warm and kindly. Others a bit reserved or shy, but that's to be expected. I feel comfortable with them.
I'm in Gothenburg, by the by, which is where I'll be living for the duration of my exchange. It's a lovely city. I'm right at the edge of it. The public transit system is absolutely brilliant, I wish Chicago had something like it.
Oh, the women are BEAUTIFUL here. Like, ridiculously so. I fall in love every five minutes.
School starts on the 24th. Next week I'll be going to Borås for language camp, which apparently is tons of fun.
I guess that's it for now. G'night.
Oh, and for some reason I can't get the title text to write in anything but Sanskrit. Tis peculiar.
