Baby one more time

Well it turns out you're never too old to jump around for hours with your friends singing 90s songs. :) Until literally 4am last night, French, Dutch, Canadian, and American alike all had a dance party singing every word to all our favorites from N*SYNC, Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, Britney Spears, the works. It was a blast to say the least. 

And then today at brunch I put some plans together for yet another adventure I'll be having in the last month of being here...we're going snow horseback riding next week!! I'm so excited. And then after that I have the farewell weekend at a hotel up north with the exchange students, followed by weekend of snowboarding in Åre, the biggest ski resort in Sweden, and then the big holiday party/gift exchange! Time is just going to shift to hyperdrive now, I know it.

I also clarified the due date for my paper today, and it's later than expected. This means I have two options: I could finish it this week and never have to put a single thought into school in Sweden again, or I could take it easy for another week and churn it out when I feel like it. Jury's still out. I think tonight I'll just read for fun and see how I'm feeling tomorrow. :)

Despite boasting how little school I've had recently, I am in for a big week. THREE DAYS this week I have class. THREE DAYS! What is THAT?! Balderdash, I tell you. Just balderdash. I can see the Coe Conditioning taking some big strides this week. Productivity, let's be friends again.

Regardless of how well I spend my week, however, some news I got today will be a cloud stuck overhead until I get home. After months of hearing she's been in and out of the hospital, I found out today my grandmother has lung cancer. It's crap to feel stuck. All my warmest thoughts and prayers are shooting westward, and hopefully ending up somewhere in the vicinity of the U of M hospital. Love you Nana.
