Short and quick update!

So basically, I just spent the rest of the evening yesterday chilling on my own, which felt really rather nice. Today has consisted of the regular breakfast, a lecture before lunch on divided cities in Europe, a fun lecture about thinking outside the box (with an exercise consisting of everyone in four groups picking up one item from their pockets, and then solving a given problem with those specific items – in our case we had a USB-stick, a student ID-card, a 1 zloty coin, a small bank note from Ukraine, and a small note saying “good luck” in German, with which we had to stop disaster from happening when a fire broke out; I’m telling you, some really awesome MacGyverish solutions were presented by all groups), then lunch (which was pretty much the same as the day before), followed by a lecture about the close cooperation between Torneå and Happaranda (it was interesting and I learned a lot that I’d never known before, ironically enough while being in Poland), as well as one on Social Capital.

Most of the lectures were held by the guy mainly responsible for the course – a Polish teacher from Poznan University who’s really energetic, fun and layed back. Then supper at 18 (that is, basically kvällsmat), after which most of the class decided to go and sightsee some of Frankfurt, and me, having seen most of it already, went to my awesome CouchSurfing friend and stole some more of his internet (where I am now). We were just invaded by his very drunk but terribly entertaining female friends, who have been running in and out of the door a couple of times laughing and chattering, and now left again. I’ll be heading back to play some role playing games with my class (Maffia it’s called apparently, never played it) once they return from Frankfurt. And on that note, I end, because I feel I should socialise a bit with my CouchSurfer friend and his room mate. Sorry this got so short and compressed, but it’s a bit difficult to stay focused and write long and elaborate texts while being among a bunch of drunk girls and two other very nice guys with whom I’m trying to speak at the same time.
