I cannot believe how quick the time is going already, but as
that saying goes ‘time flies when you’re having fun’ and this week truly has
been great.
Well it was birthday at the start of the week and I turned
24. That was a brilliant night, I invited over some of the friends I have made
over here so far for dinner. So Mary and I cooked for 17 people. It was a bit
crazy at times but the food was great if I do say so myself. We made spaghetti bolognaise
and chicken tikka masala. It was just lovely to all sit together and chat and
get to learn and hear about other people’s lives and culture, what they are finding
difficult and new that I may see as fairly normal. But it was a great place to
turn 24 and I will always remember it.

I also got to meet my friend family this week. The friend
family group is organised by a lady within the university, it’s organised to
help students meet real Swedish people and really get to see what Swedish life
is like. This is one of the main reasons I done it as I felt I could get to see
things that maybe tourists may not. Also its helps I have more people to
practice my Swedish on because at the minute I am shocking so hopefully the
more I practice the better I’ll get. Well that’s the plan anyway. My family
seemed really nice; they are an older retired couple who live on a farm 35 kilometres
outside Växjӧ. Furthermore
I get to share this experience with another exchange student; he is called
Ravie and is from India. I just think it’s amazing that in a few short weeks I have
met so many people from all over the world.

Like I said this has been a really great but busy week. I got
to meet up with my buddy for the first time. His name is Andreas Bång
and he is from a town not too far from Gothenburg and studies international marketing.
We met up for fika (coffee and chat) and that was great and not at all awkward
we talked none stop so decided to grab some food with one of his mates and his
buddy. The food was awesome and at a great price as well which is always a
bonus. I think we are meeting up sometime again this week before he goes on a weeklong
trip so looking forward to that.
Hopefully visiting a high school this week but I shall tell
you all about that experience next time.
Tak så myket for reading.
Until next time Hej då
