i must say that its starting to grow on me, i was able to walk from my class all the way across town with out using the trams or a map and it made me feel really good about my time here and my orientation skills.
i cant believe its been 4 weeks, it seems like time is going slower and slower, but when i think back it also seems like its gone by fast as well, im like a living paradox.
in 2 days it will mark the official one month time of me arriving, it was january 17th, and that will mean that ive got a mere 4.5 months left here, and that may sound like an eternity now, but if they go by as quickly as this last month i will be out of here before i know it, and im totally not complaining about it, because im still very homesick, but as each day passes and i become more and more used to the european lifestyle and i become more attached to this place.
one thing i really like is that im going to be able to say that "i lived in gothenburg sweden." not only did i visit, but i resided here for 6 months, and not many people can say that about a foreign country. its going to be something that i can tell my kids about i think, and i think ill be able to appreciate it for a very long time :)
my first class is ending in a matter of days, and my second class will begin, so in someways, after january 21st, i will be officailly 1/4 of the way done, but in terms of time i am shy of that fraction by a little.
well, ive noticed that this writing has become more of a weekly thing, and i think im ok with that. a weekly update, but maybe next week ill talk more about the things i do instead of solely the passage of time and my feelings about it, haha.
