Second week at Skövde!

In my last post I didn't remember what happened the 7th day of my first week, but ... It was something super important... We had our ... BAKING NIGHT!

Baking night

Baking night!

Yes, that Sunday some friends decided to gather and bake some things together. Some of us were preparing desserts others more salty food (as I'm not a very good cooker I made paninis xD) and we had a very nice evening :)

But, going back to how was the second weekend in Skövde...

FIRST DAY

The University looked perfect that welcome morning! There were little flags around the campus, tents in which students informed about different groups and activities and a big stage. We had to find the groups where we belong, and there were some speeches and also the band of the University, SMS, played and that was awesome... Like in the movies!

After that, the master students went to meet our degree's directors and also who were going to be our classmates. The teachers gave us more information about the study programs and answered to all our questions.

That afternoon an activity known as "raft building" was taking place. I went there to see what was about. There were large cans, wooden pallets, nets... And we were supposed to build a raft with all that items. We had 5 days to finish it and that Friday there was going to be raft race in the lake. You've to be warned that the raft had to be able to carry people on it, because the students were going to be on them rowing to win!

Our raft!

I couldn't assist more than to the first day of the raft building and neither to the race, but I have some pictures of that :)


SECOND DAY

We had an English test that was the hardest I've ever taken... It was like written by the ghost of Charles Dickens!  But after that...

Speedfriending!!! It was a very nice activity in which the international students were going to meet other swedish students. We had to talk for 5 minutes about a topic that was given, and... Most of them were very difficult in terms of expressing yourself! xD These were some that I remember:

• What was your idea of Sweden?
• What is the best thing from your country or of what are you more proud of?
• What would you think you'll be doing in the 6 months?
• How do you imagine your life in 5 years?
• Say something you'd love to do but you haven't done because you were afraid of it?
• What makes you happy?

etc... etc...

It was very funny!! Also, because after that we were asking each other with whom we were talking with and by that we were figuring out more about the ideas, life experiences, etc... Of other people!

Then... Movie night at Norra (that is where I live)!!! We watched Sin City!! [Extended version] ^-^

THIRD DAY!

Pam, Wendy and me went to Billingen ^-^ Which is the Hill of the city! A very nice place with wonderful views and lakes... And also ducks, very social ducks! We spent the morning there and it was awesome, the landscapes were unbelievable :)

Is this the real life, or is just fantasy... ??

... but ... that night... was... 80s NIGHT!!!! The most funny things of thematic parties is the dressing up! And I think we aced it! Here there are some pictures ^--^

 80s freakin' bitches a Go Go! (We looked fabulous!)

80s spirit!

We went to Boulogner's park night club! We had some beers and continue playing the speedfriending, but... something happened... Dominika, Dorota and Agnieszka (my super nice polish neighbors and also classmates) were going to watch Kill Bill... And that was Super tempting! So we went back home and enjoyed that wonderful night and we also learnt how do you say in polish Bang!Bang! It's Pif!Paf! xD

FOURTH DAY!

Leo, Bill and I went to the center and we spent the part of the morning enjoying a very nice sunny day. It was truly nice!

Then, that night, it was an Outdoor Movie Night in the campus! In a very huge screen we watched... Jurassic Park!!! ^--^  And I've to confess that it has aged very well #betterthanexpected! It was amazing being watching a film in that big screen, sitting in the grass and with a starry night above us :)

FIFTH DAY!

That day was a Me-Day! A day to organize, clean, be out of the world... But that night was... WHITE NIGHT!!! [I always try to follow the party's theme because if you do it the entrance for the night club is free xD]

We had a very good time! We danced, we laughed, we were gossiping about who was flirting with whom... Super fun as you see!

SIXTH DAY!
There was a hang over brunch at the club that morning and as it's discourteous to reject a lunch invitation, we went there (Free food moves mountains!). We had some pasta salad, juice and coffee and then we were in the park, enjoying nature :)

Boulogne's park 

The day was that sunny and perfect that after that, I took my computer and go outside to work a bit on the digital ambassador documents that I had to sent to StudyInSweden.se (http://studyinsweden.se/news/new-students-blog-for-us/) :) I was super motivated, listening to music and writing!! And ... Let's say "someone" took a picture of that xD

I'm the small working thing xD

That afternoon there was a concert in the corridor of Dominika, Dorota and Agnieszka! The garden and the corridor was full of different people, there were very good groups, the environment was awesome, we played beer pong, drink wine with juice (I love that combination! xD), were talking, learning persian, polish, spanish and more things!

You're the best, guys! ^-^

We were planing to go to the city center to go on party, but as everyone was going to Bolougner's... We dressed in pink because it was... PINK NIGHT!!!! As always, we had a lot of fun :)

SEVENTH DAY!

I'm going to talk about the morning of the seventh day in another post because I think it was pretty nice and that deserves it's own space in this blog :)
