09 Sep Part two by the confused and stressed Swede.

I promise to stop with the silly headlines in time, but just not right now.

I’m a little bit stressed out already. So not used to these weekly or almost daily small assignments given to us by our professors, and therefore I’m trying hard to keep up. I did a lot of weekly reading in Sweden too, but that was more for myself (so that I wouldn’t need to study in panic right before exams, though I guess I had to do that anyway) and not really because I was going to be tested on it the following day. I guess it’s a good system though. You’re forced to keep up and you’ll learn things as go along; you’re not only pile-reading for an exam.

I’m also not used to school either. I still have summer vacation on my mind. Those awesome days where you were heading home from work, knowing that you had a bunch of hours of free-time in which you didn’t have to study. I like being a student, it’s not that, but sometimes it feels like your life, and not your temporary occupation. It’ll be alright, though. In a couple of weeks we’ll all feel like we’ve always done this. Studying.

On to funnier stuff: San Francisco leverar, as we would say in Swedish. That means that San Francisco delivers. Gives you great experiences. I didn’t go to any IEEC events this week, simply because I was busy with other things. But I did go to a underground food market here in my part of the city, Mission. It was Friday night, and you pay a small $5 cover, get a ticket, walk in, and you can enjoy loooots of small dishes from local food producers and restaurants. It was heaven. I’m such a foodie and I could probably have had everything that was sold in there. I was content trying one of the dishes though, and it’s hard to explain what is was exactly, so I’m just going to leave it telling you guys, that it was super delicious. Hopefully, you’ll have time to explore it by yourself. Google forageSF and make sure to go there next time it’s open. It’s not only food guys, it’s live music (lots of violins, guitars, local bands, if you’re into that sort of thing), bars, awesome people and just a really nice atmosphere. It’s sweet. Perfect as a starter on a Friday night. Especially the food. Sadly, it’s 21+, but I’m sure there are other markets like that with no age limit. I’ll do some research on it!

I hope you all had a nice weekend. I know I did :).
