I'm now a registered...
uhhhm, swede in Deventer.
Uni started monday and it has been fun so far. Less great is that I find myself having to admitt to being sick. Today I missed our brainstorming/group meeting but I'm working on getting better - drinking loads of tea for one - so that hopefully I'll feel good enough to go tomorrow atlest.
The school is profiliing itself as a college, very much towards young people that just moved out of home and just want to have fun and party lots basically. And the administration and the students network people all seem to assume that exchange students are like lost sheeps in need to be herded around (or having their hands held). I guess its not a bad thing if you indeed do feel lost and lonely and need help with things but it's a bit riduculous when you're fully capable of taking care of yourself. I was told I can go by train from Deventer to Zwolle after I let them know where I would be staying... like I hadn't checked transportation possibilities before saying yes to the room.
We have to write a journal..diary for school, every day and evaluate our own work/effort and so on... right back to drama class in highschool where we had to do exactly the same. Our teacher is cool though and the course will be demanding but fun.
Anyways.. now I'm starting to feel crappier again so enough blogging for now!
