we started april with a good surprise: 2 extra days of holiday, so 2 weeks on the whole! but anyway we worked a bit befor starting the course, to be able to defend the idea of making our project together (this term is supposed to be individual). and i still continued going late to sleep and so on...
it was also the week i recovered the faith in my possibilities of learning swedish. i explain. the week before many people from another class came to ours, and i had a long and funny conversation (in swedish!) with some of them. then i met one of this guys again on thursday in cafe bojan and he tried to persuade me to go the next week to his class, that i would see it's more fun, and not so hard. so i did! i went on tuesday. and it's definitely better than mine, i could understand almost everything! so i came back home so happy...
and on wednesday we completed the "process". we met some people from sundby with heidi to have a beer and speak in swedish (they started with this the week before, nice idea), and at first i went just to listen, but then i found out i could actually say something, so again happy :)
by the way, earlier on wednesday we began our classes. as usual everyone else in the class just went on talking about "deep" thoughts, and we were the only ones that had worked the days before and had something.
and at night, after the swedish meeting, we went to have dinner at alberto's, that he prepared gnoccis for all, yummy! and just note an odd moment, sending sms within the people that were there, very funny :P
*it's not the first time we have a similar situation, it's what happens when you have free sms... haha
and again going to sleep when i shouldn't, so i overslept and couldn't pick up antonio in the centre, but he knows how to come to sundby :P he stayed until sunday night this time.
we had lunch, then a long sobremesa with the girls, and a long walk all around södermalm. after that a nice dinner with a long deep talk... and the spinach quiche!!! :P
then we went to cafe bojan, where we met the other sundby people (amongst others). and a night full of stories... several comments about everyone and everything :P, an unnecessary discussion that ended up in a bigger upset than it should :(, odd situation going outside to smoke, a stupid mistake when coming in, then this feeling of not being able to wait to be back home (or maybe just not wanting :P), the funny ending songs of every thursday (but this time with portuguese karaoke), waiting for the bus with a strange english-swede-whatever, and some confessions in between, a lot of disgusting jokes along the way to sundby, holding hands, funny videos, and some more karaoke back in sundby...
highlights of the night:
a cafe bojan classic! :D
and portuguese karaoke in sundby!
friday (4th) i had to go to class, almost without sleeping, and "our guests" joined us for lunch at school (important event, maite cooked :D and great, btw). a hot chocolate in kungstradgarden, in a terrace! a walk, and going to try to sleep for a while. and later we joined andrea and her friends in the centre for dinner, finally the creperie!
*since the beginning of april is as if the city had come back to life. all the terraces open again, people everywhere in the street, summer timetables starting again... and of course so many hours of daylight!
on saturday, more sightseeing, but this time i also discovered new things! we went to the television tower, the highest view you can get of stockholm, and so nice to sit there with your coffee, the music, the sun, the views... :)
at night we all went to ace. we were so many people! 24 from sundbyberg, and then we met there a lot of people from kungshamra and skrapan :D and, as always in ace, it was great!
and then a bit of a blue moment coming back home, but trying to give support in this situations i think it brings you closer to people, at least i felt like that after that day... i hope i was useful!
so another day without sleeping much, because on sunday we woke up quite early to go to vaxholm, a town in the archipielago. we spent the day there and came back by boat :)
*very strange that just the wind on the face made me feel exactly like the day we went to grinda, in august...
at night we organised a dinner in the terrace, and then stayed with a guitar concert by alberto :P
and a long long night, talking a lot, finding out even more, trying to sort out, a trip to t-centralen at 4:30 am, and arriving home much later (i had a deal...).
monday (7th) back to real life, all day working. but it's always nice to work with these people :)
during all the week the "base" was at maite's, we had everything really well settled!
and tuesday all day at school, and wednesday and thursday all day working as well. we wanted to have a really good proyect and a lot of work to show everyone that the idea of making the proyect together was not an excuse to work less...
by the way, in between my computer problems started, the first and second blue screens appeared.
and on tuesday night we organised a family dinner at home to say goodbye to andrea, that was leaving to barcelona for some days. after that i had a long and nice conversation with igor in the corridor (i missed that!), and then "killed time" until andrea had to leave. i went with her to the bus stop, and it was snowing! the 8th of april! so there we were, singing stupid songs and dancing in the snow :P
(oh, and watching the snow until late again, i missed that too! :D)
*my continuous lack of sleep (i was around 15 days sleeping no more than 5 hours) was starting to be quite visible by then...
but i could do nothing! either sightseeing or working during the day, and always something to do at night that kept me from going to sleep early, so...
on wednesday (9th) night we gathered at my place for our swedish meeting, many people this time! and later also "non-swedish speakers" came, and one thing led to another and... another 516 party finally :)
some highlights again!
a 516 party without this is not the same :P
and pedro singing this, of course! XD
