So, I finally started SFI. I'm supposed to be studying 5 days a week, from 8:30 -> 11:30 every day. Of course, that isn't happening.

One of our teachers has been ill, so there have been no lessons at all on Tuesday or Wednesday. Also, our non-ill teacher needs to talk with each of us one on one, so we've had lessons end at 9:50, and then 4 people every day stay behind and talk with her. So I've basically not studied at all so far. Also, next Friday it ends, and doesn't start again until the 14th January. So that's.. a bit of a letdown, really.

The Vegomässan (Veggie Fair) finally happened after days of constant working. We got there at about 8:00, and then finally got home at around 18:00. We, after all the costs involved, made about £14 profit. So hooray! It was also fun and we got to try a bunch of good food, and a few other things.

I start studying Swedish tomorrow at SFI. That should be interesting. It will be very easy for me at first because although I don't speak much Swedish I understand an awful lot, likely more than most of the people starting tomorrow will.

I've also been ill these past few days, I've barely been able to eat and have been in pain, sweating, feverish etc. I feel better now though (and yesterday I was pretty much better), so that's great timing.

The Veggie Fair is in less than a week! It's going to be pretty crazy until then, we have to finish making several different paper-based things and get many photocopies, we have to make a lot more food, we have to package the food with paper in bags, and Emmie needs her hair cut before it too! Madness. It'll be great once we're actually there, and once it's over, but until then the stress will be D:.

Now I'm going to go clean, so that we can then make more horrible mess when we make stuff later today! Hooray.

We live in a large block of flats (I think there's about 500 individual apartments), owned by a company called Akelius.

The residents of the flats have decided they want to buy their apartments from the company, and Akelius have agreed. It's possible to stay renting, but it's pretty stupid because we're being offered the flats at less than half price, plus each person that keeps renting puts the price of the flats down, and so they hate people renting and will keep making up lies about us making noise or mess or whatever and get us kicked out.

So, we're likely going to get a mortgage. This will mean we earn many less monies (Even with the raise Emmie is getting), and we can barely live each month as it is. Who knows what will happen! Personally I'm planning to kidnap people and sell their organs on eBay. It should work, unless inferior Swedish organs are unwanted. : <

We also have to get 10% of the cost of the house as hard cash, the mortgage only covers 90% of the cost. So that's incredibly annoying. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

Also, I have a Facebook! You should all get one too. It's here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=578108833 (That includes YOU, Ent!)

I don't have much else to say for now, other than that if any of you win the lottery, remember I always liked you the bestest!

It's apparently been 18 weeks since I updated LJ. Doom!

Anyway, I'm going to get right into it. Lots of stuff has happened since I last updated, obviously. For a start, I returned to Sweden (about a week after I updated). I have also...

• Had my graphics card break and had to buy a new one.
• Finally got permission and a date to start studying at SFI (Swedish for Immigrants).
• Got a new cat, she's called Semla and is adorable.
• Got a Nintendo Wii, and hooked it up to my computer.
• Had my birthday, and got a HUGE collection of Discworld books.
• Been to a place called Gekås Ullared. It's a horribly huge shop that sells everything (food, clothes, electronics) and is the size of a small moon. I barely survived.

Soon (Dec 8th), there's a fair called "Vegomässan" ("Veggie Fair"), and Emmie is going to have a stall there. She'll be plugging her blog, selling some vegan treats, and also selling some little magazines with some vegan recipes in. I'll be going along too, and I'll be speaking to all the people that only speak English (so I'm going to have to put up with some fat American all day, demanding to know where I get my protein and making stupid jokes and expecting me to laugh).

I'll try to keep this update thing up. The rest of you should start again, too!
