Sorry all - - haven't written in a while. Truthfully, like the title says, there really isn't much going on here lately. I made a list while sitting in class, which I always do so I remember what has happened.
Nik and I went to the Botanical Gardens on Saturday. It was a beautiful day and the gardens were absolutely gorgeous! We eventually found a path and started roaming around. Before we knew it, we were in the arboretum (connected to the gardens) and more paths were winding all around lakes. At that point, we wanted to get out of there, so we kept walking in the direction of the main road. Finally found it and were way out of the way from the tram and any main road. Walked probably another 30 minutes after we found a sign with and arrow pointing us in the direction of Frölunda Torg. (The botanical gardens are like a 5-10 minute tram ride from Frölunda Torg.)
The rest of this week has been class. However, today, we had a lecturer from Beijing come and speak to us in my Project Management class. He spoke on the Beijing Olympic construction and all of the important buildings like the "Nest" for the main events/concerts and the swimming pool building. Got to see pictures of the building process and the whole planning of all the buildings back in 2001. This guy isn't part of the actual construction project. He is a professor from Tsinghua University in project management. It was a really interesting lecture. I also really want to go to Beijing to see the actual buildings (or the Olympics would be fine too!)!
Getting darker everyday here. We are getting some sun every couple of days, but like every Swede has told me, the winter is all rain and cold. Hardly any sun, so any we get now, I'm going to have to soak it up!
That's all for this time! Planning some trips and final exams for this period are in a week, so I'll definitely be busy, but the boring kind of busy. I'm sure there will be some fun in there somewhere?!?!
PS....don't have a camera right now (or for the past week) so there aren't any new pics.
