i don't read the sunday papers;

but it seems like a good day for some blogging! and it looks like an update is in order. school-wise things are going alright. handed in my first paper about a week ago and yeah well...i got an a+! which felt extra good considering i almost always feel like i am behind everyone else. i guess i am not and that i am actually a genius. good to know for future reference haha.

what else have i been doing? mainly i have met some really fun and interesting people to hang out with. international students and americans, feels like a good mix. moving somewhere new always leaves me with acute home sickness, but it always works out in the end. this friday i was out with two swedish friends and an american. we went to a bar in pioneer square where the drinks were strong and cheap. lethal combination. then on to a club with drag-queens and horrible dance music. because drag-queens are always sarcastic and rude, ie funny, i didn't really bother dancing but chatted with them instead. after the club it was time for an afterparty which basically was the best part of the whole evening. silly americans!

today i haven't done much, did some reading and chatted on msn. msn really is a lifesaver sometimes. oh and i made meatballs with "gräddsås" that i bought at ikea. win! grocery shopping in america is really hard, i never know what to get. so if i make dinner at home it is almost always something with pasta. hard to get rid of that habit! i am not entirely useless in the kitchen, though, a while ago i helped a friend make  a gyoza dinner, which is japanese for dumplings. looks good, no?
