Getting there...


We seem to have stumbled into the month of May rather quickly, and in 5 days it will be June!
Okay, how is this possible? As much as I want my exams to be over and to be home in Örebro, I am not ready for it to be June. Mainly because I don't like how bloody fast time flies, and that the weather here is proper shite. We have our sunny days of course, just like any other country, but I'm stuck inside with heaps of revision…
My first exam is on Monday and my second is on Tuesday. Wednesday will be spent packing up my room to put into storage for the summer. I then leave early in the morning on the Thursday to fly back home.

I've planned my June to be a chill month. Mostly I will be hanging out with friends, relaxing, and a bit of traveling (hopefully). Helen is arriving on the 16th which means we have 6 days to faff around Stockholm and Örebro. We are planning on cycling, kayaking, possible visiting Grönalund, having picnics in the park, going to the cinema, eating food, going out for drinks, visiting one of the many islands in Stockholm's archipelago, and most importantly making sure to show Helen how Swedes celebrate Midsummer!
I then hope I can catch a train down to Copenhagen to visit Christel. I think Sofia, Matilda and Lauren will also be there, which means we can all explore Copenhagen together.
I then start my work experience in July.

As a distraction from this term's exam revision, I have been planning my holiday next summer. A little bit ambitious perhaps, but I like getting excited for things!
I want get a 22-day rail pass to go Inter-railing around Eastern Europe, starting off in Berlin and working my way down towards Split, Croatia. Stopping in Warsaw, Krakow, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana and Zagreb, before getting to Split. Hopefully it all works out as I've been wanting to go inter-railing for quite a few years now!

Valborg

Stefanie, Irma and I at the Tunnels

On the 1st of May the Nordic society got together on campus for a meet up which included champagne and strawberries, music and good times. We spent a few hours on campus enjoying the sun once it finally appeared amongst the ever-grey clouds of Aberdeen. After a few hours of chilling in the grass a few of us headed over to Wavell in Hillhead for a few more hours of socializing.
In the evening, Irma, Stefanie and I headed over to the Tunnels where the rest of our evening was spent with the rest of the Nordic society, and eventually the Politics and IR society. We snacked on the nibbles available, had a few drinks and danced to some golden oldies. All in all, it was a pretty successful day :)
As the new Swedish representative for the Nordic society, I am excited to plan next year's events along side the rest of the new committee!!
