Spring
has arrived in Växjӧ and the weather has begun to get warmer….finally. This
week the weather was particularly warm with the temperature rising to 20°C. So people were out in numbers with their shorts and t-shirts on
ready for a BBQ. Our friends decided that we would all chip in and buy a proper
BBQ together rather than keep spending the money on the disposable ones.
During the day before the BBQ we decided that we
would go down and enjoy the sunshine beside the lake. I had told my friends
previously that I would love to swim in the lake and jump of the bridge into
it, so I decided that today would be the day. We enjoyed the sun for a while
and I change and went for a swim in the lake. The water was so cold but so nice
at the same time, really refreshing with lots of fish around me. I decided that
I would head round to the bridge to see if I could jump in as I wasn’t sure if
it was going to be deep enough. I got back in the water and swam out to the
middle and tested the depth, but it wasn’t deep enough and I didn’t want to
risk anything stupid.

It’s great when the sun comes out over here as you
just start to realise how many Swedish students there are as every grass area
is just filled with people sunbathing, barbequing and playing games. It starts
to bring that community feeling around campus that I have missed from home.

We have enjoyed some of the spring night by having
camp fires down by the lake. I have to say I love making camp fires; I always
do it at home so it was nice to have one over here. My friends at home make fun
of me for being a bit of a fire bug and it didn’t take long for my friends over
here to pick up on that.
Campus is beautiful at the minute with the beautiful
weather, just hope it stays.
Until next time Hej
då
