Swedish fever
I've been visiting the Gothenburg University site non stop, reading every last bit of available information about academic life over there, searching for a dorm room etc etc. Fortunately I found out that dorm rooms in Sweden allow pets as long as they do not cause a nuisance. So I was thinking of bringing my Mariposa with me. I'm going to stay there for at least two years, and coming home to your cat is much better than coming home to an empty and cold room and no excuse for talking to yourself while making dinner. So, I need to get her ready, fix her, see if she's up to date with her shots and worm pills and also buy an anti-pest collar. After that i would have to issue a passport for her and also inquire at the Swedish embassy for any paperwork that needs to be done.
HOWEVER, in the meantime maybe I should accept the position I have been offered in Gotherburg's uni instead of procrastinating about it. I don't know why I haven't already. I didn't actually think I would get accepted to be honest. When I applied for it I was doing it "just in case". And now that it's happened I know that by clicking "YES" things will change dramatically in my life. And I absolutely hate change. Plus, moving alone in a foreign country is very scary. Luckily we have some relatives that live in Gothenburg so that makes me feel slightly better.
My brother also downloaded the Swedish file for Rosetta Stone so I will start learning the basics. Isn't he sweet? I wanted to bake a cake for him because it was his birthday on the 22 but he didn't want one. He said he had no one to invite over to eat it with us. Poor thing, all his friends are abroad on Erasmus scholarships and yet he has to stay here because of his job that he really hates. He's been kinda bitter that I will leave too but his turn will come too after he graduates.
Ugh I could go on and on and never stop and this entry would end up being huge so I guess I'll stop here with a picture of my
