Hej! Mitt namn är Mira

So as I'm finishing up my first week being a Swede it is getting a little better each day. Sometimes I feel like I could be doing more but then I look back at my day and realize I've done something new or different everyday and it is only the first week. However as the days go by I am becoming more and more swedish. By the time I get back I will have forgotten how to speak english, only eating meatballs, and wearing clothing similar to lederhosen. 

Last night was my first time going to a club at a nation. It was a lot of fun just because everyone just goes to dance and have a good time. However I learned that Swedish people don't bump, grind, gyrate, or have sex on the dance floor which was actually wonderful not having to worry about being groped by some rando. But swedish boys are also very reserved so although these swedish boys were dancing like jamming out with us all night Amanda and I couldn't tell if that was them flirting or not - so ill report back on swedish boys hook up tactics hopefully sooner than later ;) 

However the club we were at was doing a pop night so the swedish songs they played were great and now I know a good popstar named Veronica. But the American music they considered pop was ummm very dated. It was weird because Cher, Greenday, Beach Boys etc would come on the swedes were loving it and I was like yeah no not music I want to hear. Where's my girl Rihanna and my boy Macklemore? I also was kind of upset they didn't play any Avicii or Swedish House Mafia but I think it's cause it was a bad dj. So k byeeee Gotlands Club. 

Other than that I had class today and it was a 2 hour lecture with an hour break in between and then another 2 hour lecture. It wasn't bad at all. The teacher gave us 2 10-minute coffee breaks which was weird but at least he's considerate of people with small bladders. During the lunch break me and a few American girls I met in my class went to lunch at a nation. I felt so swedish. Two of the girls were from university of Illinois, 1 from Gustavus (MN represent what what), 1 from UND, and 1 from UConn. Two of them were nice and normal, the others though k byeeee. 

Now I'm just doing some homework, working on my side trips (so if anyone has recommendations or input holla back) and just chilling out and watching Shameless which Laura got me hooked on like 2 days ago (hi from sweden laura) until I go to hopefully a better club than last night. And when I say club pronounce it "cloob" - its much more swedish. 

Until next time x0x0x0
