GROOOAAAANNNNN
oooooohhhhhhh.... aaaahhhhhh.... ouch....I am in so much pain right now...... I have just gone back to the gym this week after a whole summer break (plus a bit linger coz i was lazy before the summer holidays too). I think i am about to fall apart seriously, i am not even sure i can get off this chair. hopefully i can though in half an hour when my next class starts..... last night i went to a boxing class at the gym with one of the new exchange students who arrived here in august, Emily. Emily is from canada and seems really nice- willing to have a good punch and laugh through the class as well!! it was awesome and good to get to know her a bit better.. but... oh... the pain...
so apart from causing myself irreversible damage at the gym, i have been going out with friends a bit- there are a lot of birthdays happening at the moment. also tuesday night i went out with some exchange friends to see a production of King Lear by and american theatre company. my god it was so good! picture this- in helsingborg there is an old scandinavian castle from, i dunno, many centuries ago. just in front of it was a temporary stage set up which was the amazing setting that i watched this play in!!! funnily enough, King Lear was one of the few 'classic shakespeare' plays that i had not studied at skool, so it was all new to me. i have to say it was a bloody good play.
this weekend i am having 3 other aussies over to lund to hang out which will be a lot of fun- we all get along so well i cant believe i have only known them for 7 months. my god 7 months. i cant believe that i have been here for that long, it seriously feels like about 3. time is going so fast!!! cant wait for christmas to come, but then i dont want it to come too soon because that signals the beginning of the end of my time here.
autumn in lund is really pretty- at the moment it feels like the weather is still sort of holiding onto the last dregs of summer which is nice. the leaves are beginning to turn orange, red and yellow and the mornings are becoming crisper.
guess what guys? i have joined the school choir!! hahaha. it is so much fun, and most of the 18 people in the choir i have not met before, so more friends!!!! it is challenging singing in different languages, they sing in english, swedish, french, spanish and heaps more but at least it is never dull!! i am in the soprano section and having a blast- last friday i sang my first swedish song!!!
another "first" for my time in sweden was last weekend when i had my FIRST SWIM IN SWEDEN!!! oh my god it was so bloody freezing cold!!!!! i swam in the ocean with my host mother for about 10 seconds before deciding to get out before i get pnemonia hahaha. aparrantly the water was 18 degrese but i think it was more like 10....
well hope everyone is well.... must get to class now- groan.
everybody keep your fingers, toes and anyother body parts you can, crossed for the aussies in the last, deciding test match against england in the Ashes series starting today. we have to win this game or else england wins the ashes for the first time in 16 yrs!!! arg!! this CANNOT HAPPEN!!!
