Lediga Vecka

This week was pretty non-descript. I had a business economy test today and was relieved to actually understand most of it. I also had a Swedish test. It's like the equivalent of English class at home, more like literature. I could only answer about half the questions. On the ones I did answer, I had to resort to English for some of the words. Still, it's great that I could understand some of the test.

My Russian skills are steadily improving. My friends and I have been greeting each other in Russian. Here's a typical conversation that we might have:

здравствуйте товарищ!

(Good day Comrade!)

здравствуйте комиссар!

(Good day Commissar!)

K родина!

(For the Motherland!)

фашистский свиньи!

(Fascist Pigs!)

Vill du äta lunch nu? Jag är lite hungrig.

(Want to go eat lunch? I'm a little hungry.)

Okej.

(Ok.)

The downside is that nine times out of ten the school food is disgusting to such a severe degree so as to be inedible. There are upsides though; the juice is incredible. There is also this stuff that they have sitting out called "Knäckebröd". It's kind of like drywall, but it tastes better. They usually put butter on it. It's grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat.

The only other thing to report is that this coming week is our "ledig vecka", or off-week. No classes or anything so I can sleep in some more.
