A day in the life of me

So what do I do all day? Well, being a grad student I don't do much more than read and study and read some more, but for those of you who are far away, here is a little picture by picture account of what a typical day looks like for me :)

For now the weather is still a pleasure--we have had a lot of sun and while there is the nip of Fall in the air, you can still get away with a light coat and scarf. I am trying to take advantage of this so instead of heading straight for the tram in the mornings on my way to school, I'll take a stroll down to Lindholmen to hop on the ferry to Rosenlund.

Lindholmen



There is the ferry I just took!




And then I'll wait for the tram at Jรคrntorget



I get off the tram and here I am at campus

That's my building!



And look, people just park their bikes here. They don't even lock them up! Can you imagine?! This really is utopia.....




I can take a little detour through our "secret garden" and grab an apple for a snack from the small orchard




Close up of the main building where all of my lectures are held





Here is the computer room at the library, where I spend a lot of my time. There are weird mask-like sculptures on the wall...I'm not too sure about those, but I guess they are cool to look at





There are a lot of excellent open lectures held by the various departments within the university. This one was one of Jan Eliasson and was held in this gorgeous hall





Jan Eliasson himself (if you don't know who he is, look him up, it's worth it)




And then I make it home and take over the kitchen table (to the boyfriend's dismay) with all of my reading and studying and reading and studying......

Not too exciting, but now you know!!

  2. I think you should be a featured lecturer! GoteBorg is definitely a beautiful city and even more beautiful since you arrived!
