I'm not funny here.

Ahhhh it is a lot of fun here. My roomates are awesome, and more and more just keep coming everyday, they should all be here by the end of the week. Although, a lot of them are messy dirty boys lol. Last night I went to a party at one of the other residences and it was a lot of fun. There was mostly exchange students but a few Swedish people as well. The Swedish people only talk to you if they are drunk haha. I met a lot of cool people.

Today I slept in late, because we didnt go to bed until 5am last night, then I woke up to get to school because they were taking all of the exchange students on a bus tour around the city. We saw a few cool things and then drove us back to the school, where we had this Swedish quiz activity. Antonello and I went to the A6 Centre, which is the mall here. The mall is awesome and is pretty big for being in such a small town. I bought a hat and mittens because apparently what is cool in Canada is not cool in Europe. As my french/italian friends would say that my hat and gloves were "scandalous" which apparently means ugly from what I understand. But it's ok, because now I am "in fashion". (that is something else they say haha)

Well, since dad probably reads this, I must explain the bus system haha. Buses leave every 10-15 minutes and at the bus stops there are electronic signs that tell you when the next bus comes, and they are always on time it's ridiculous (they make fun of Canadians for saying ridiculous all the time). All the bus routes are labelled by numbers so it is really easy, and they say the stop on a electronic sign inside teh bus so you know when to push the button, kinda like Toronto. Also when you get a transfer ticket, it is good for one hour, even for a return ticket and for any bus. A bus ride is expensive, like 3 dollars to get on.

The most frustrating thing here is that nobody understand what I am saying. A lot of the other exchange students don't speak English very well, so I find myself having to explain myself all of the time, which is fine but just gets annoying. They don't understand sarcasm here at all, so if you ever come here avoid sarcasm lol, it isnt so easy to change your sense of humour. However, I was kinda relieved when an American from New Mexico moved in here today, because he gets my jokes (especially "That's what she said" lol). Also i never have to explain what I am saying to him. It's great haveing everyone from different places, but sometimes it just feels good to be understood. :)
