ugh :)
So! It's been a while.
Well, NOISE (the summer school) is finally over. We had a party at the end, which was great fun. Saturday, most of us didn't do too much. I went to the store, and also the chocolate cafe with a few people. I also did homework--huzzah!
Sunday, we packed and cleaned and all that jazz. The highlight of the morning? I was taking a bag of trash out to the dumpster, and it broke. I was trying to clean it up, and I cut my hand on a piece of glass. I went upstairs to wash it off and try to stop the bleeding when I slipped and fell on our wet bathroom floor. The other girls were kinda confused. :) I was a bit shaky after that, but I think it's funny now.
So then, at one, we met at the train station. We took a three hour train from Linkoping to Malmo, Sweden. We had a six hour layover, so we walked around malmo, which was an awesome town. I had a steak for only 89 kronors, which was a lot less than anybody else paid for their dinner (a lot of other people went to an Indian restaraunt, which was at least 120 kronor per meal). I think I hit a happy hour special. Anyway, then we got back on the train. We took an overnight train from Malmo to Berlin. It was the greatest game of Sardines ever. We had a sleeping car, but it was six stacked beds (three on each side) in a room the size of a closet! Six girls plus all our luggage . . . it was interesting. :) Then that train got on a ferry! Let me tell you, that is an interesting sensation. I got seasick on a train! Anyway, we got into Berlin at about 6 in the morning, and our next train was at ten, so we just hung out at the train station. The train from Berlin to Krakow was about 9 hours. It was long, but not too bad. We ended up in first class somehow, though that didn't provide a whole lot more space. Oh! and customs on that train was kinda scary. They had guards line up in front of each compartment so you couldn't switch or anything, then they checked our passports--both the German customs and the Polish customs. Anyway, it all went ok. We got into Krakow at about 7:30 and to our hostel/hotel place at about 8. It's a spacious place. I am sharing an apartment with a bedroom, a kitchen/living room, and bathroom with only one other girl. It's cool.
Anyway, I must get ready for our first lecture.

Glad you made it safely. Didn't know about the cut hand. Hope it is OK. Do you ever sleep? I guess it happens whenever. Got your e-mail so I was up to speed on most. Hope you are enjoying it all and taking pictures. Be careful
BTW .. in talking with your mother .. I will probably bring your laptop. At least we can download pictures and also store on memory stick.
Take care.
Love,
Dad
