Sweden!

Just some thoughts on my first week in Sweden.
-I haven't showered without flooding my bathroom. The shower curtain hangs roughly a foot off the ground and the shower is really just a shower head with a drain in the middle of the floor. I felt stupid wiping the entire bathroom the first time I showered, but slightly less stupid after finding out that all my friends nearby had the same problem. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if my bathroom was designed by an alcoholic, but taking showers that turn into baths makes me feel like an idiot.
-Speaking of feeling like an idiot, nothing makes me feel dumber than shopping here. Today I tried to buy some crackers. I ended up with cookies. Normally this would be a good thing, but these cookies had no sugar. They sorta tasted like crackers. Except terrible.
-The question everyone asks is are the Swedish girls really as hot as everyone says. No, they're not. They're hotter. It's unreal. Still no word on how to talk to them.
 - I didn't realize how diverse the population of international students would be. Yes, I am aware how stupid that sounds. But everyone I know who has studied abroad in other countries was with mainly American students. I've only met a few that are American so far. It's definitely adding to the experience.
