Valborgs and the First of May

Yesterday was a semi-holiday. Valborgs. In Uppsala it would be celebrated with starting a day with champagne breakfast. Here I did two hours of math homework until David woke up... then we wrote up a shopping list and went shopping. Can you get a bigger difference? This year we celebrated only around dinner time by going out to a friend's place and grilling some meat. It was quite nice and relaxing. David didn't drink and instead drove us around. I drank very little since I was planning on getting up early and working on math homework again. It didn't happen since I didn't get to sleep until around 2am since the entire neighborhood was trying to see how many fireworks they could set off, and how many things they could blow up. They did this from about 10 in the morning until I was finally too tired to notice at 2 in the morning the next day.

Today is the first of day and it is a true holiday. It is marked in red on the calenders, like Sundays. So it is a 'red day' in Swedish. I plan to spend the day doing Swedish and math homework. I also have to clean the apartment, and go shopping so that I'll have the mushrooms to make lunch and dinner. I like to buy those the same day I plan to use them.

Ugh. Just thinking about everything I need to do today makes me want to go back to bed!
