yup, Sweden!  
I got my letter of admission this week and other emails concerning my semestr in Sweden started coming after that. It's really happening!

Until now, it was just a pile of paperwork I had to work through, but now it's finally setting in. In two months, I will be alone with a bunch of strangers in a foreign country. It's just... wow... it's pretty terrifying, but also completely awesome!

I applied for a host family so that I could experience Swedish culture in a different way than just through school and everyday stuff. Hopefully, someone will pick me.

I'm a bit worried about my exams this semester as I'll have only a few days of exam period to take them and there probably won't be time for re-takes, but I can always take the whole semester again next year if things go really bad. Hoping it won't come to that. :)

Our bachelor thesis topics have been announced and I'm hoping I'll be able to get my hands on a topic about Digital Photography. At least I'd finally have motivation to get even better at it. I was told I have a talent for composition, so I'd better get the rest of technical stuff right. Plus learned how to use the more complicated functions of gimp or photoshop.

I'm just really excited about school right now!

That's great news! Hope you have an awesome experience!
Good luck with your exams, too! Having them close together can be a pain, but that means they are over quickly too xD

Thanks. I'm a bit worried the exams will be over quickly, but not the right kind of over. :D
