November in Lund

This week has been a busy one for both work and play.

On Monday I spent a full day at the office doing some research for Crystal Clear Communication, which was both challenging and satisfying. Surprisingly I found that I kind of miss the structure of an office! But I also enjoyed having the freedom to complete my projects for Joanna, the owner, while at home later in the week in comfy pants.

I also spent a lot of time last week devoted to Demola and expanding on our schemes for how to finance the company's efforts. I feel like we are making real progress and so does Per, the co-found of the company and our liaison. He says he feels like there's, "something in the air..."

Even though I was putting in a lot of effort with work and school, I found time to have a lot of fun. On Thursday, I met up with Kate, Min, and Alisa for some lunch at Hemma Hos Greken. Kate and I nearly broke the poorly designed bench we were sitting on and spent the rest of lunch trying to be as still as statues.

Just act natural...

Later that night Alex and I met up with our friend Meghan and enjoyed some beer and cider at a local bar where a Swedish band was playing Irish music.

Lund is getting totally into the Christmas spirit, but since Thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet I am trying to control myself from getting too excited. So to just get a little taste of Christmas, Alex and I walked through Lund central on Saturday and looked at Christmas decorations, advent calendars, and got some inspiration for stocking stuffers. Once Thanksgiving passes, I will let myself get into the Christmas spirit!

The weather has been pretty cold and gloomy here in Lund so it was great to have a nice sunny day today. Alex and I took advantage of it by taking a walk through Stadsparken and having a late lunch at St. Jakobs. I have to take advantage of the sun while I can because the sun goes down at 4pm!

Tonight I'm prepping for a busy week ahead, that is hopefully filled with just as much fun and challenges as the last one.
