Just another update

First off, things I now wish I had brought with me:
1. Skis
2. Skis
3. Climbing shoes
4. Harness
5. Skis
6. Wireless router
7. Camp stove, tent

Oops.

Now, the good stuff. Aerobics and I do not mix well. Mostly because I am not smooth or graceful...at all. Also, it was me and 30 other girls which in itself wouldn't be bad, except that you know everyone is thinking, "Wow, what's that guy's deal? Why is he here?" kind of thing. Haha, interesting, but probably not for me.

I saw my first northern lights Monday night. Very cool. That's really all I have to say about them. A bunch of us hiked out to the lake to watch and it was basically one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Check the facebook album link for more pictures.I learned a little more Swedish which is awesome. I actually succeeded in having a (very) short conversation with a Swedish friend last night. We had a wine tasting party with approximately 20-30 bottles of wine from all over the world. When the table was covered you knew it was going to be a good night. I also ended up meeting a few more Swedes which was pretty cool.

After that we all (20 of us) taxied downtown. The last Tuesday of every month there is a club called Rex that opens up to let students in free (coat check is still extra of course) so we all went down to check it out. It was a fairly decent place, but the unique thing about it was that the dance section of the club looked like a converted subway tunnel. It was pretty interesting, but also a lot of fun.By about 1:45am Hannah, Trevor, Lauren, Brittany, and I headed back to Ålidhem by way of the river path. There was a bit of snow falling and it wasn't too cold, basically, it was just a really good walk.

I finally got some bouldering done this morning too. Man, I have not gone climbing in waaay too long. Plus, I don't have any climbing shoes with me and IKSU doesn't rent them, only harnesses. So, long story short, I struggled on things I could do without a problem a month ago. At least it's free (well, paid for in the membership price anyway) and it's in the same building as the pool, gym, track, etc. so I have no excuses. I also got on the wait list for a caving trip to Norway (only 6 spots were left on the trip and 7 of us that wanted to go - I've done it, plus I'm a nice guy, thus, the wait list). I'm also on the wait list for some ice climbing that same weekend. Hopefully someone will drop out between the two, but if that fails, there's always Åre for some skiing.

Aside from climbing this morning, today has been one of those much needed days of relaxation; so...in keeping with that theme, I'm off to Ryan and Sarah's for a movie night. How sweet it is.
