Autumn in Stockholm

Fanny&me

Hello dears:)
haven't written anything for quite a while coz there're actually basically nothing to write about: just busy working-studying life.
For those who still dont know what am I doing here, general schedule (it's pretty boring actually but ppl keep asking me the same questions all the time and I just dont have time fot this and you'll see why..):
6.20 - waking up (brrr, hate it!!!)
07 - breakfast
08-09 kicking out kids to school/kindergarten:)
09-09:30 tunnelbanan (metro) - half sleeping, trying to understand from Sweidhs newspapers what scandal happened in Russia at this time:)
09:30 - 14:30 lectures at the uni/swedish classes
14:30 - 15 tunnelbanan - deeply sleeping
15 - 18.30 (19) - hallo little monsters:) working
19-20 tunnelbanan (getting bored)
20 - 22/23 - trying to do some assignments on university computer/meeting with working group from uni/teaching Russian to Australian guy (once a week)/babysitting (will start next week in anither family nearby)
23-00 tunnelbanan (hate it!)
o1-06:20 - zzz.... sleeping:)
Also I have training once a week on Sunday for 2 hours, and I'm thinking about joining local BEST group:)

exciting? I guess not that much.. just tiring, but I'm trying to manage....
and anyway weekends still exist:D even though usually I still have to study on sat and sunday afternoon because we have to submit new assignment almost every week (and unfortunately it's not just like our crappy electronic labs in Russia which you could just copy from the friend:(

so weekends: when I have money (what happens quite rarely unfortunately) - going out:) Like few weeks ago I finally found a club with drum&bass parties here every second saturday:)
Also once we've been to a bar called "KGB":) funny, all those soviet posters around, бюстик Ленина, and russian lesson in the toilett:) (they have speakers there and u can learn some crappy stuff like "I don't understand Russian", "Do you speak English" etc.). And of course there were few russian drunk guys, and my nice friends (thank you, Mischi:) just turned me to them and say out loud "hej, she's Russian also!" Damn! it took 30 min at least to get rid of them!

This weekend our crazy little french is coming:D (french girl, Audrey, who's my first friend that I met here, she's been travelling in Russia and Mongolia during this summer:) - vamos a fiesta:D

And next weekend - Finland:) ok, forst exam on Saturday morning, and then gonna celebrate my total failure on the ferry to Helsinki for the weekend:)

oh, and if some of you don't know: I'm not going home for New Year:(((((((((((( have to wait for my residence permit prolongation in Sweden... hopefully I'll come to Ekb in spring some time (8th of March maybe, to get some presents:P as they don't celebrate it here). Pavlik, tell me, when are u planning to go to Ekb, it's be extremely great to come at the same time!

So ppl, who wants to celebrate Christmas and New Year away from boring home, enjoy snowy Stockhom, full of blond Swedes, glögg (swedish analog of glintwine), pepparkakor (cinamon cookies) and candles on every single window in the city - VÄLKOMNA TILL SVERIGE! Welcome to Sweden:)
I have nice and cosy room (pics enclosed:) which I'm trying to decorate by monthly trips to IKEA:) Last time bought some unknown but quite nice red flower - just 20 SEK (2 euros):D hope it'll survive during few months at least (I guess you know how I am with plants and animals:P)

miss you all:)
pls write me smth nice and warm (just not "public heating":) - this grey, chilly autumn weather is killing me. And I have home nostalgia, especially after Katia's CDs

puss och kram från Sverige (kisses and hugs from Sweden:) - hardly trying to learn Swedish....
