As I was taking the bus this morning to school for the first time, I thought about all the strange names they have for the bus stops. Ostbrickan was the weirdest. The translation roughly means plate of cheese. But the direct translation is “cheese tray”.I saw a roundabout dog on the way to school, which is basically a dog someone’s made and placed on the roundabout. It was a popular thing to do in Sweden for a while, we even had one in Ulricehamn!I took about 20mins to get to the bus station and then I have to walk to school, only takes 5mins though. It cost 15kr for a ticket that lasts 75mins, but I don’t need to worry about that anymore. I bought a bike for 300kr today. It was 400kr but I can haggle ;)
When I got to school there weren’t that many people there and hardly anyone talked so the atmosphere was kinda stiff. But as the day went on everyone became more relaxed and I think everyone is looking forward to really starting tomorrow.We started the day off with some information about the school and what we’ll be learning, then we had a short tour of the school, it’s only on one level but I felt completely lost anyway. Maybe I’ll have to draw a map :P Then we had lunch at Restaurang Viktor very nice food, I was completely stuffed afterwards! Then back to school to spend money on some books 1400kr, could have been worse I guess. I saw my massage bench but I haven’t payed for it yet. At the end of the day we just got more info then we had a group picture taken. We also got a free t-shirt with bergqvist and MASSÖR on, for when we have real clients, only 4 weeks away! Scary! And I had to wear a name tag all day!
When we finished for the day about 3:45, I took a bus to gamla tanneforsvägen to buy a bike I saw on blocket (sort of like eBay), unfortunately I got off on the wrong side of the railroad and had to walk until I found an opening. I finally found the house I was looking for. Really nice house, I knocked on the door and this guy opens the door probably 16-17. Anyways he shows me the bike and I’m a bit skeptical because it looks a bit rusty and the tires are flat. I try it out and the gears and everything seem ok, the tires still feel a bit flat. So I ask him if I can have it 100kr cheaper, he calls his mum (It was her bike), she says 350kr. Then I point out to him that one of the gear wires is detached so he says I can have it for 300kr. Nice guy :P
Took about 45mins to get home which is good considering I had no idea where I was going :P Ebba wasn’t here when I got back so I turned on my laptop and here I am writing. Hope you enjoy the pictures. I’ll see if there is anything worth writing about tomorrow.
