I don't know if I will ever get used to waking up and really having no pressing need to get out of bed, when does this ever happen! I should probably take advantage of it, but I got up early anyways.
Lucy left Stockholm yesterday. I was a bit sad to see her go as it was super nice to have an old friend to hang out and visit with, although at the same time really excited not to have to share my single bed anymore! (I know you were too lucy!) I gave her a 2 day quick tour of stockholm, which included a long run along the water, a walk into Old Town where we went to Kaffekoppen (correct me if that's the wrong name) which is a medieval style cafe that serves the most amazing hot chocolate in these huge soupbowls, amazing! We did a lot of walking and shopping and talking and eating. My favorite things! Went in to the Acne clothing store where I fell in love with a really cute dress, if anyone wants to sponsor a student wardrobe, please contact me!!
Yesterday we walked to the Moderna Museet (Museum of Modern Art) which was really cool! It was full of awesome pieces of artists that I used to study in high school and had an exhibit of this Swedish artist called Evert Lundquist. I really enjoyed the regular exhibit especially the Duchamp stuff ( in grade 12 Mr. Lund thought studying Duchamp was the best thing ever!! I'm not sure I agreed then but seeing work in person gives me a new appreciation for it), the Lundquist exhibit was really beautiful but I found his work sort of depressing and uncomfortable. Maybe I was just having a really emotional day, but the whole experience left me feeling really unsure about everything.. (i'm not really even sure how to describe what i was feeling!!) Anyways, it made me miss the days of trying to tell Grandma what I thought about pieces in the gallery in Edmonton and inspired me to maybe pick up old hobbies of painting.. or even just appreciating art like I should. Not really sure if that emotional vent made sense, but o well it doesn't have too. In summary it was a really cool gallery! YAH!
Lucy
So the day got reaalllyy cold and lucy headed back to Uppsala. I had my (easy!!) entrepreneurship class, which I am so relieved that it's easy I can't even explain, just to give my brain a break from the finance class from hell!! I can't remember if I said this in the last post.. but something I have learned about myself already being here is that I am really not that interested in the Economics side of finance, for now anyways.
After class we went out to this australian bar with a bunch of Aussies to have a beer as it was Australia day. All I can say is..... LOTS of accents! oi mate!! (ah!)
That's about all, I'm sorry if my blog is getting a little bit dull, I will probably just be hanging out in Stockholm for the next little while until I plan some trips! I think Cato gets back to Copenhagen this weekend so I'm really hoping I can head there for some quality cousin time.
I think I will face the cold and go for a run to kill some energy/ try to enjoy some of the rare moments of daylight. Its supposed to drop to -20 this weekend so I will probably be spending it in cafe's and in bed!! No one told me it was going to be this cold!!!
Alright now I'm just rambling.
Sending all my LOVE,
J
