Dark Side of the Dome?


I'm so happy I got done with lab today a full 4 hours early! Now I have time to go into town and go to bank/pay rent. I can also pay Jan back. He's such a sweetheart for lending me 60 kr last night since I didn't have cash and everyone wanted to go to this concert at the cathedral. It was a cover band (rock band + string quartet + saxophone + many vocalists) who played various Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Kent (Swedish pop band) songs. It was odd to have a concert in a gothic cathedral- the visibility and acoustics weren't great plus it got really cold inside. And all of the Kent songs were slow. So we were all falling asleep by the end. I should have gone to the science buddy program, CAMBIUS, party instead. Oh well. I'll post the few other pictures later.

Went into to town to pay rent. Yay for having cash again! I also found a nice little bike shop to fix my bike. Hopefully he's right and it's just a bad cable for the gear shifter, because I'm not paying more for the repairs than I did for the bike. But I can't wait to feel really confident on my bike so I can ride it everywhere.

Also, apparently the Swedes can't understand me when I order in English either. We went to a café after the concert for fika. I wanted spinach and feta pie (spankopita), but somewhere between my ordering and the cashier telling the other guy my order, I ended up with blueberry pie.
