So I made it through my first week of school in Sweden, real school rather than swedish for foreigners classes. I'm taking a gardening program out at Förslunda, the bus schedule to get out there and back is absurd by the way. There are several days in my schedule where I'm either out there two hours early or (and sometimes 'also') not able to go home until two hours after class as ended. Luckily I've always been a rather self entertained person and have a stack of books that need reading.
The program has several different classes which I'm really looking forward to and a greenhouse that makes me all smiley to stand in. I went out to the farm part of the school and looked at the cows, pigs, and sheep. I learned that I have a slight desire to own a cow, something I had not previously considered about myself, and I also discovered that monstrously large pigs have very human looking eyes. I'm not sure what to make of that.
The classes are all in Swedish and I seem to be the only foreigner in the program but everyone has been really nice. With the exception of the biology class, I'm following the Swedish pretty well. I think I just need to get ahead in the biology textbook and learn the words.
I hope to get some pictures of the school up soon!
