Santa Lucia... Swedish tradition. To have details about what is it exactly, go here.The change in schedule was fucking bad. Class at 9.15 this morning, about the writting of a paper. Anyway, we were almost all there, Mats showed up and started his presentation, very seriously. Suddenly, all the teachers entered the classroom, Mats shutted up and a Lucia's procession entered the room. They were six, singing typical swedish songs for about 20 minutes, then followed a huge fika with pepparkakon, the traditionnal Christmas buiscuits. The surprise was nice.
About the class in the afternoon, another surprise. The teacher did not show up.
Came back though, to prepare the little Santa Lucia's party going on at home.
The roomies and I decided to invite few friends over for a glögg (traditionnal spicy warm wine)and cookies. Thanks to Jen, Qiao, YuKey, Yo, Zen and David who came in spite of the rain and the exhausting time we're having now. Silvia cooked some nice pepparkukon, Ben was in charge of the glögg, Carol, the decoration I guess, and I... washed the dish. Anyway, it was nice and quiet, and I had a wonderful talk with Qiao.

Sometimes, it's hard to share a place to live in with other people, that are finally very different from you.

Two more days to hold on. When I think about those who are home right now (Biz Marie).
