20 days in Sweden

Time is flying, it has been already 20 days since I arrived in Sweden.

"University" is still quite intensive and taking into account that already in one month I have to hand in the course paper I am getting a bit stressed.
I really like the topics we talk about, but I have to admit that I was quite lazy with all my readings. There are so many other things to do and then there is no time for "the real studying time"

On Friday we went to a party organized by a friend of Mikael. The party was at her place - and here I have to say that most of the apartments in Stockholm are around 20m2 big and so was also this. It was quite an experience for me to see that it is possible to organize a party and invite like 15 people to your 20m2 apartment. Even though it a bit of squash but as the old proverb says the more the merrier.

On Sunday we finally went to Ikea to make our cozy apartment even cozier. Today we went skating with me course-mates and we had a lot of fun. It is so nice to find new friends from all over the world. I learn a lot about different cultures, tolerance and more about my own culture every day.

Tomorrow we are going to Jonkoping for a weekend and the next weekend my course-mates and I are going by a cruise ship to Helsinki.

Čas letí a už je tomu 20 dni čo som sa presťahovala do Švédska.
"Univerzita" je stále celkom intenzívna a ak vezmen do úvahy, že už o mesiac musím odovzdať "course paper" tak začínam byť trochu v strese.
Prednášky a semináre sú super, len to študijné povinné čítanie akosi nestíham popri všetkých tých iných aktivitách.

V piatok sme boli na párty u jednej Mikaelovej kamarátky. Tu musím podotknúť, že väčšina bytov tu v Štockholme má v priemere 20m2 a aj tento byt bol jeden z nich. Celkom zážitok pre mňa vidieť, že je možné zoorganizovať párty a pozvať cca 15 ľudí do 20m2. Bola to celkom tlačenica, ale ako hovorí staré príslovie dobrých ľudí sa všade veľa zmestí.

V nedeľu sme sa konečne vybrali do Ikea aby sme náš útulný bytik ešte viac zútulnili. A dnes sme sa boli korčuľovať. Užívam si tu multikulturalitu mojich nových kamarátov, a každý deň sa dozviem nejakú kultúrnu pikošku.
Zajtra cestujeme s M. do Jonkopingu a ďalší víkend sa chýstame so spolužiakmi do Helsiniek.
