Host host

I ended up with a nasty little cold this weekend. It's starting to develop into a cough again. Why oh why do I always end up sick in Sweden?

Anyways, this weekend was a lot of fun. Friday night my class party was nice. We sat at Snerkis and had a nice dinner and just talked. I've decided that some of my classmates get a bit shallow when drunk, but I guess we all do. Oh, and they forgot to feed some of us dinner. When the other half of the table was getting dessert, we complained and they freaked out and it was generally much fun.

Saturday morning I was a bit tired, but not too bad. We spent the day relaxing then we ate a late lunch around 3. That way we'd have food in our stomachs before the gasque. David looked soooo cute in his fancy jacket and nice shoes. It was good we ate early because the food took forever to get there. And long before food we had worked our way through a couple of drinks. With our 250 SEK dinner tickets we got 2 glasses of white wine, a drink before dinner, a beer/cider, a snaps, a portvin, and an avec. We also got a three course sit down dinner with entertainment. That isn't really a bad deal when you think about it. We also had the option of buying 6 cl snaps for 25 SEK. I did NOT drink all of the alcohol I was given, or even most of it. It was way too much for me, but Swedes seem to drink a lot at parties. Quite cheap, even for a nation. We met several really nice people and sang lots of songs. I think David was glad we went with me. Even if he wasn't a new student or a varmlands member.

Sunday I woke up with a really horrible cold. I spent the day doing nothing. It was nice. On Monday I dragged myself to class and when I got home David made me drink some soup and go to bed. I slept for more than 2 hours before dinner. Today I think I'm going to just take it calm and maybe study a bit for my paper if I start feeling better. Our next 5 page paper isn't due until Monday morning. I think that gives me plenty of time.

Sometime before this weekend I need to figure out how to get a birthday party together for Peter. He's turning 30 and therefore needs a big party!
