I’m groovin, I’m doin it
The photos are a bit small, but they’re of me suspended above the ground, so they do the trick. And holy crap, climbing shoes are small.
I had to pay the second installment of my rent today. I realized that my rent is around $200 cheaper for the entire term than my friend’s rent. My friend lives 3-5 times closer to campus than I do, and his internet connection is 200 times faster than mine. And just to add fuel to the fire of jealousy, he’s trying to move here. I mean, he’s a good guy, but I wouldn’t trust his decision making skills.
So I wandered down to Ye Olde Banke to pay my big ol’ bill, and lucky for me, I had just enough money between my chequing account and my wallet to cover the bill, with just under $2 CAD remaining. I gave the bank teller the invoice and started counting out an uncomfortably large number of bills, but I was interrupted by her quoting me an amount that was 50kr ($8 CAD) more than what the bill had said. I blinked as she explained that there was a 50kr charge for paying a bill. Sweden gets a lot of things right, but whoever thought up the fee-payment-fee needs a good ol’ fashioned face stabbing.

i recently bought a camera and had a similar exchange with the cashier, more on that later… gotta finish these god damn medical school applications.
good luck in your job search.
hehe you should trust my skills 🙂
The option of sharing a room with my girlfriend, living on an international corridor and saving about 100 euro each term is good enough to give it a try.
Allthough the shoes are small and start hurting after a while, they are the only tools that mike climbing possible this way. I’d like to have that much grip on my normal shoes as well 🙂
good luck on the applications, wes.
tack så mycket, grandma.
Felix, I’ve already explained this to you. Your reasoning is flawless, and I’d probably do the same thing if I was in your situation. That doesn’t make you any less wrong 😛
If they’re how mike defies gravity, then god damn, sign me up for 12.
At least you could understand my comment which is more than I can say for my ability to understand yours.
It means “thank you very much” in swedish.
Honestly grandma, with the amount of international guests you have, you’d think you would have at least learned some international courtesy by now 😛
