Wow...many days have gone by and we have done so much within the last week! On the first Thursday of every study period (quarter), all of the pubs on campus have huge parties. CIRC was taking people on a Pub Crawl, however, we left a little late and new they were going to end at the Architecture building, so we went straight there. Not what I was expecting at all! We arrived to campus and there were so many people there! I thought it was just some small and quiet thing. Headed to the architecture building and there was music blasting and a long line to get in. Nik and I were fairly confused. Got in, and the whole place was turned into a club. At least 5 bars in the whole place, 1 upstairs, 4 downstairs. Truly insane and this is where I have class! Beers weren't too bad at 20kr per bottle. After a few beers and a few hours of dancing, had to head home because the last tram leaves at 12:10am on the weekdays.
Friday I had to get up early for my Project Management class for a 3 hour lecture. Very interesting class. A Swedish professor and already made a few Swedish friends in the class! Some very friendly girls and not as many international students as in my economic class. Went home and as Nik, Dane, and Brennan got home, they told me they were going to go to "After Work". Every Friday between 4 and 7, many pubs have this thing where you come in after work and eat for free. They have this huge buffet set up and I'm guessing that encourages you to buy drinks the time you're there.
Very good food at the pub we went to. Had all sorts of potato and pasta dishes, even some potato pancakes! We actually had to pay a "coat check" fee because apparently people were coming in, eating the food, and leaving without paying. Guess that's what we did, too, but we also paid a fee for coming in. A guy from Cal Poly who Dane, Brennan, and Nik sort of know was there also, and he said they were going to be watching a rugby match and then having a party at some flat in the area we live in. Got his number and would wait for the call to when they were starting.
Went home and started playing beirut/beer pong for a couple hours. After getting a little tipsy, walked 10 minutes over to the apartment. Aside for having to jump a fence to get in, we got in the elevator and before we knew it, we were stuck. A huge elevator that can only hold 5 people apparently where we had 9 people in it. After a couple of minutes, it started to get really hot and some french people who were in there with us called the help line and they told us it would be about a half hour. Half hour came and went, while everyone who couldn't take the elevator stood in the little window and took pics of us. Still no one came to save us! After 45 minutes of sweating and chatting, a man came and unlocked the door for us! So good to be free! However, now we had to walk up the 11 flights of stairs to get to the party!
Lots of international students, one from one of my classes. Met a lot of people from Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France. Got a couple numbers and talked about getting together the next night. After about an hour, went home and all passed out.
Saturday, we called the Italians and Spaniards and made a date to go hang out at Slottsskogsparken just a couple tram stops away. There is a zoo at the park where Nik, Brennan and I walked around and looked at the seals, penguins, deer, moose, birds, goats, and rams. It was definitely fun! Caught back up with the group of Spaniards, Italians, and French who were playing beach volleyball and joined the game. Talked about what the plans for the evening and most of the guys were going to watch the European World Cup where Italy and France were playing. Definitely some fighting I'm sure after the game!
Went back home and played some more beirut and called Eugenia and Sarah who are both Italian girls we met on Friday. Met up with them and headed out for the evening. Got to Avenyn and met up with a few other international people and decided to head to Göteborg Universitet where there is a club called Nefertiti. Got there right when they opened at 12am and drank some Hoegaarden on tap, and danced for at least 3 hours. So much fun! Great music and it changes every weekend, so would definitely be fun to go back! Came home with a few extra glasses (once again) and passed out.
Five hours later, got up to go to Liseberg with CIRC. Scandinavia's largest amusement park and best wooden roller coaster. Got the all day pass and hung out with CIRC members Pan Pan, Nancy, Jasmin, and Abdeel, Brennan, Nik, and a few other international students. Great fun! Lasted from 12 to about 7 and headed home (me soaking wet because we decided to go on a water ride as the last ride). Had to do some homework for the night and then off to bed.
Monday, woke up, went to Economics of Innovations, came home and slept for a little while. Headed to the grocery store and bought some food for dinner and here I am sitting. Well...that was pretty much the last week. Lots of drinking (too much maybe?), but hej, it is college, right?
