Swedis, sunshine! and saunas

Just got out of my first Swedish class, and it was so much fun. I think after 2 classes with him I will have a decent grasp of the Swedish language, for sure. I bought the book, 35 euro, but Asha and I are splitting it so its not so bad. The professor is incredibly eccentric and its great. He speaks in a flurry of Swedish, German, English, and his own language. Sometimes hard to follow but always entertaining.
This morning it was so cloudy I wasn't sure the sun had risen, but when we left Swedish the sun was shining! I didn't see it of course, it is only an hour to sunset, but still, blue sky! Senate Square was lovely in the sun.
I may be saunaing tonight with Asha, that should be interesting. The saunas in the building are SO nice. The one open tonight has a small pool attached.
Had History of Nordic Countries yesterday, it should be fun. Our first test in Feb. 3rd, but we got all the potential questions yesterday. 3 essay questions, and we got 8. Not too terrible, I reckon.
I've become such a coffee drinker. I get at least 1 cup a day at Cafe Portalli, which is next to the library. The coffee is so strong, I have to put a lot of sugar in it. After I make it drinkable it is quite good.
Class tonight, then Swedish the next 2 days. Don't know what is going down this weekend.
I may go to the Erasmus party tomorrow, but I don't think so. I don't really feel like dancing much. The year-long Erasmus people tease us because we are still in "training" because we can only make it until 2 or 3, instead of 10 or 11. Seriously. These people party like its thier job.
