Talking about the weather 24x7

May is coming!!

Me ++ along with everyone else is expecting more sunny days. Like real sunny days without the pretty snow?!


April was supposed to be the start of spring since the flowers have started blooming everywhere. But it somehow described 'a perfect depiction of Swedish weather.' Things were funny in April, how I woke up on a sunny day yet it rained ice in the afternoon. Even sometimes the weather could change 3 or 4 times within a short time, like 'I swear it was sunny 5 minutes a go but look now it's snowing!'

I'm not complaining here, 'weather' is just a very good choice of topic. Anywhere, anytime. You can just casually say "today's weather is so nice" if you don't know what to say. Either you really mean it or not, weather has always been something people put attention to. Weather application is too, very appreciated. Going out without checking today's temperature sounds like a terrifying idea - speaking of personal experiences where I did not wear proper shoes and my toes got frozen badly.

How about now? Have I addapted well? ...I think so? At least now it is easier for me to dress accordingly, somehow reminds me of how I've lost my gloves & broke my umbrella several times (things that happen probably from my natural habit to be clumsy all the time).

Firsts of Things

Just woke up from a pretty long nappy. 10 hours were quite relaxing enough for my dizzy head. 

Can you guess what was my first meal here?

PIZZAAAAAAAAAA

It tasted like heaven. Not that it had the best taste in the world, i was just hungry. No, starving even. After a lovely journey with 2 suitcases and one back pack, how can i not. I ate the pizza in the midst of the uni's arrival day. I still had to carry my babies again back home later, that was why i needed to eat otherwise i believed i'd faint. Not literally carrying it though, just simply pushing all of them with me cause the International Mentor will be taking each of us home by car. 

Anyway, I had a funny story about it. After finishing all the things listed in the arrival day like checking in, buying a new SIM card, getting the free transportation card etc, all the new students had to stand in line before going home. To cut it short, finally we were on our way home. From 5 people, 3 already got off. Not so far from AF building (the building where we did all the arrival day things). Left were just me and one girl. The mentors kept driving the car yet it seemed like we were heading to a highway. 

Me: are we lost? It must not be this far right? (didn't really say it, just a voice in my head)

The mentor kept going and going until we arrived in a.... building. Well, it didn't really look like a student housing compared to the previous ones where the other students got off? It was still under construction or something. But, this is my new house. Didn't have the pictures yet, will talk about it later. 

Update: i like my new house. Once i entered, it was obvious everything is new. And white. Very.. clean. I like.
