My parents will be here Wednesday. It feels like it has been forever since I last saw them. It hasn't really... last summer, but still. This will be their first time to Sweden in the four years I've lived here. Interestingly enough, this will be my first mid summer in Sweden too.
It will be interesting to see what the rest of summer brings. :)
Wonder if I can inflict Surstromming on my parents.... and I wonder what their reaction would be if I didn't prepare them for it. ;)

Summer Rain
Well... it's raining at the moment. Perhaps this is an incentive for me to actually get studying done? I've only got three days to finish up a paper and a lab for my summer classes.
At least the paper can be written in English. I need to play two 'classic' computer games and then using course literature, explain if they are games or not. Somehow this course has managed to make a rather cool topic boring. And David has already gotten a hate mail from the teacher about not cheating with me since we're both taking the class. Love the faith.
I'm also about halfway through my lab assignment. I'll have to write a lab report about the exercises and turn that in too. My parents will be here on the 17th and leave on the 28th. It'll probably take us a whole day to drive back to skellefteå afterwords. So making due dates on the 28th and 29th will be hard if the things aren't done before they get here. I plan to spend time with my parents since I see them so infrequently!

The past 1.5 months...
It's been forever since I last updated this thing. Life has been just crazy. Heck, for the last two weeks I've rarely had more than 5 hours of sleep a night. VERY rarely. Heck, I think my average is about 5 hours. :P
I took my last final Monday (before working 14 hours with the silly avslutning sittning that I got thankfully got a very short thank you from Tuss for helping with. Sad that noone else cared that we put in that much work for no benefit.) I've just got one more paper to finish up and send in before Friday. Tomorrow I've got two redovisning things I want to sit through.
Friday I'll hopefully finally get around to cleaning up the note boards at school so that everything from like 5 years ago gets removed. I REALLY need to get the information for updating the school website, but ARGH noone wants to get me that information and I'm going batty. I'm about to go talk to technos and see if they have any information on getting the website updated. Or heck, even a login and a link would be a great start. I also need to get ahold of the old FUSK leader and get a list of all the games we have so that I can add those to the website. I should probably get a facebook group going for the student union too. I guess I've got some projects to do on Friday while I sit at school between lunch and fika.
My parents are coming to visit in just like two weeks. I've got tons of cleaning and organizing to do before then. Right now I'm doing like a million hours worth of laundry. I've been so busy the past two weeks that I've done very little around the house. And it shows. I need to go do some grocery shopping soon, finish up the million loads of laundry, and do some dusting and cleaning. It is hard to get the energy to come home when I know I've got so much stuff waiting for me to do. Oh well. At least I got it started today.
It's been a ton of fun the past two weeks at school. Lots of parties, lots of meeting with the older students that I've only had contact with online, listening to people stress about their final projects, celebrating people graduating, etc. I've had a ton of school work to finish up these last few weeks too.
And *sigh* Monday I start my summer classes. I spent like an hour this evening just trying to figure out how to register for the classes. Why do schools require you to have like super complicated passwords when the only thing you can do with them is send email and register yourself for the classes you signed up for. This isn't exactly a super secret bank password or anything. Ugh. I think they just like to laugh at themselves as they create horribly complicated password rules.
I think I'll try to get some sleep tonight... if I can actually sleep. I've not been able to fall asleep easily since I've been awake so much during the nights. And it isn't like it ever gets dark. Sunshine! Well... not today. It rained. :(
