first weekend

so for the past day or two I've been meeting my new roomates, and its been a hell of a lot of fun. We're a very diverse group, with students from Germany, Spain, France, Canada, Italy, Slovenia, Holland, and two from Netherlands. The first night we just hung out in our common area, and got to know each other. Last night, after the "party" up in the 3rd floor died down, we walked around the city for a little bit, then decided to go to the club right below us. It was an interesting crowd and fun....but at the same time it was like watching our parents make out in a club, so we left pretty quickly.

I also met a swedish engineering guy who jokes about every exchange student and where they're from....for the United States, he joked about americans being stupid/dumb, that we just care about ourselves and not other countries....and that he hated bush (which isn't too surprising). As for the beef on Sweden, supposedly they have the highest suicide rate in the world. (I said prob cause of the weather, lol...)

Also, a big hit and conversation starter has been this stupid game where you get zapped. They left it behind from last semester, and it looks like 4 metal handles attached in a circle. After creepy music plays for like a minute, the person who reacts the slowest gets zapped. It's pretty hilarious watching people try it for the first time and see their reactions.

Anways, tomorrow is "Welcome Week," which is basically a week of partying an no classes....so I can't wait! Tomorow at 10am the madness begins...
