back in Lund, back in life

Hej!

After 5 wonderful days in the capital of Ireland I am finally back in Lund. Unfortunately I have a lot of work to do for university in the next few days, but I think that's a fair price for 6 days away from everyday life and university. I don't wanna say to much about Dublin right now, except that we really had a great time. A more detailed report will follow as soon as I find some time (maybe during the weekend or next week).

As my Mum said on Skype today: my current life does not seem to differ that much from that at home. Of course, I meet a lot of nice people from all over the world, and of course I do travel a lot more that at home and I really enjoy my time up here, but I can't negate that fact that I am here with an university program and therefore have to study as well. And right now is "high season" for the next 2-3 weeks, but that's totally fine for me. I have some very interesting courses and benefit a lot from all my work I do here. I did have much time for doing other stuff during the first study period and I will have more time in a few weeks as well but I just feel it's the right time for pushing university a bit. The weather is much less than charming, it's getting dark early and it's quite cold outside, so I try to get as much work done right now to have some credits to burn in the spring term when the nature will be more inviting.

I am currently starting to think about our trip to Lapland this winter. I hope we will have the opportunity to try dog-sledding, snow shoe tours and maybe cross country skiing. I really would enjoy staying in a lonely hut surrounded by wood, snow, ice and hopefully northern lights. But we will see what life has reserved for us!
