So yesterday I studied, the day before was spent trying to do homework but got very sidetracked by other people doing stuff and inviting me to go along. Like there was a Dutch cultural presentation that pretty much had to do with cheese and people not talking about their country. Then I found out that the landlord of the building that I lived in bought us all tickets to a hockey game that night. It was cool. We won in overtime. I forgot my camera but there was a ton of picture taking going on. I'll try to get my hands on some of them. There's photos of me trickling down off of Facebook if you want to see more. I'll try to remember to take my camera places. After the hockey game we were wondering around Jonkoping looking for food. There was absolutely nothing open, except a candy store and we didn't want candy. So someone made food back at the building and we stayed up till like 4.
The night before was the celebration of a frenchman's birthday were a few french guys made dinner and everyone else brought stuff to compliment. Louelle and I bought a cake and it was soooo good. It was chocolate with more chocolate stuff on the inside. They got some good bakeries here.
Yesterday I took a break from studying and went to an after work, which is an all you can eat buffet for only buying a drink. They do this at just about every restaurant and club in town. They all do it at different prices but the food differs quite a bit. The after work I went to was at a sports bar based in Boston. The food is still very a Swedish version of American food. Like their pizza looks sort of what my pizza looks like but mine is way better. Their buffalo wings still lacked kick. It's still worth it when you're only paying like 50 kronors.
Last monday we had presentations to do in our class for our paper that we wrote on a successful innovation. It turned out that I didn't need to do all of it. That was sort of the original plan cause I'm a native English speaker, but Faustina did the bulk of it cause she wanted to get some experience cause she's never done a powerpoint presentation before. It all went fine for us, but there's this one kid from Pakistan whom everyone hates. He left our group alone but he asked very rude questions to pretty much all the other groups. This is him:

This photo was covert. What he's actually doing in this picture is looking up info on the net about the topics of other groups are presenting on. He's looking for hard questions to ask to rock the boat. He's a jerk and we all hate him. It's that he's a power freak. When he presented he got really defensive when people were asking him questions with points of views that were not succinct with his own. btw, he gave the guy presenting with him only one slide and he took up way too much time with his slides to a point where the teacher asked him to wrap it up but he still took like 5 more minutes.

Here's a pic of a friend of mine in my program. He's from Nigeria and this is the first time I've ever seen him eat anything in his life. And we've been out for lunch a bunch of times with groups from our program. It's rare. Savor it. His name is Olawale and goes by Wally.
Here's a pic of Cider, the cat we adopted from the side of the road who lived with us for a couple of weeks.
