International Relations
this blogging thing seems to be fun only when i'm bored, doesn't it? today in academic writing we talked about different ways to say things, how you, by using words, can take the same information and portray it as good or as bad. like;
newclear power plants stand for 20% of the US energy = alot
or
newclear power plants stand for only 20% of the US energy = not so much
we also talked about cells. and former president Bush. and alot of grammar. english grammar is confusing. i think this course will only serve to make me more confused, there are rules for everything. and the commas! gosh! i had no idea something so simple could be so hard!
we had a teatcher named Steve, Steve comes from england, you can tell by the way he talks. Steve has no humor, but he makes jokes anyways, jokes that makes no one laugh. it was brutal.
i also had a teatcher in contemporary history today, he's from Skåne, you could tell by the way he said "Åland" in the middle of all the nice american english. that was funny. kind of the same weird feeling i get when i have to say Laura in swedish while speaking english, but even weirder.
so, i'm coming up to gbg next weekend. it will be nice, meet some friends, just feel at home, know the city and the people, not having to worry about what people really think about you. because you do, really, people say they don't, but that is not true. of course they care. it's a new place and a new town for almost everyone, and you need to make new friends, and until you really get to know people it's hard to feel secure about them. however, i think i'll make some good friends here, eventually.
the english is coming along, which feels good. atleast i understand everything, but it's alot of extra work.
btw i had to pay almost 500 kr for my train ticets! insane! that's what they call student price? it's alot of money!
peace!
