Today has been SO strange and massively confusing!
This morning was really slow, though I had hoped to get things done. I went to Uni around 10, although the buses weren't exactly running like schedule!
I went straight to Uni and managed to get some stuff printed, which was way overdue! *oops* I met a friend there, and I got a nice surprise! :) She took the Old Testament course last fall (spring 2010) where I was mentor, and all the students as well as me were invited to our teacher at the end of that semester. I took a few photographs, but apparently so had she, and she gave me one with me and the professor of OT and a few other students! Nice! :)
I spent about an hour outside the library going through the material for the seminar (and I ran into one of the attendants of the seminar, a guy who does research in NT, then - I haven't seen him for a while, so it was nice chatting to him!) - and then I met another friend ... we took New Testament Greek together last spring! :) I spent some time talking to her before the seminar.
We had one of few Old Testament seminars (mostly for post-graduate students and researchers - and New Testament is so much more common), on Leviticus and "leprosy" (sorry, not quite aloud to all it that after today's seminar!) .
I don't know why, but for some reason, it felt really good. I'm usually quite intimidated by these seminars, since they are above my level, but today it felt really good. I knew everyone attending, and I followed the discussions in a good way - and even though I didn't have anything to say myself, it felt really good.
I took a few photos, some are from this morning but I took a few after the seminar on the way to the railway station.
And then the problems started...
YES we've had snow in southern Sweden and yes, it's created the usual chaos! *sigh!!!* A 15 minute train trip took over 2 hours today - SIGH!! I was eagerly awaiting two packages, that I felt simply HAD to arrive ... not to mention part of the two packages was quite important - it was a Christmas gift for my mother and a birthday present for my father ... none of the packages had arrived! *very annoyed*
I had hard to focus for quite a while - so this evening hasn't worked out great!! It's 10 p.m. I still have tons to do tonight and I'm guessing I have to get up about 4-4.30 a.m. tomorrow ... *great - not!!* Ah well ...
At least it feels "good" (if you know what I mean) that I don't have to drag Zorro through the journey tomorrow, especially since no trains seem to run on time these days ...
I will make a last entry before I leave, not sure if it will be a late entry tonight or an early one tomorrow though ....

sorry to hear about the packages not arriving..I hate when that happens!
Yeah, totally annoying! :(
I hope it has arrived by now!
Unfortunately, no ...:( Well, they did arrive while I was gone, sat in some stupid little store for about 3 days, then they decided to send one of them back (the other ended up in some delivery storage about 40 km from here and I have to pay "rent" for it until they can deliver it!) - so I have to try to reach them and have them send it again .... will probably make an angry blog entry about the whole mess some day ... (the package being sent back was actually my new cell phone, and I had my old number transferred to the new one on Dec 23, meaning I have no cell phone ... *frustration*)
aw that's REALLY annoying! :-(
No kidding ... I'm currently at WAR with the phone company, as they now have annulled the whole order (since I didn't pick it up!) and now they can't sell me the phone again because the price has changed since I placed my order!! Total frustration right now!
