It 's true, it's a nice little' do not write that, but as long as the course is not started I did not have much to say, when it started and the time available has decreased a lot.
And yes, the course has begun. The alarm rings at 6:30 in the morning because I have to be in class at 8.45 and is not really close (I'm in Västra Frölunda and the course is to Mölndal, near the Scandinavium ... sob).
The course is pretty easy ... well too. They are more or less the only European or nearly so, by excluding an Englishman and a Pole. The rest of the other students come from all over the world: Somalia, Russia, China, Turkey, Eritrea, there are a lot of Arabs and even an American.
The course is all in Swedish: the teacher occasionally uses English, and for short stretches of time. Even if I do the questions in English, she replied in Swedish. At the beginning is a bit 'confusing, but it is very good and in the end I still can understand what it is communicating. Over time I started to make us an ear and now I can make out what it says.
The problem is boredom. For me they are all concepts already studied in my courses in Italy, so for me it's basically a reality check. For the other not, and adding the fact that they have high education and that many of them are not just the peaks, the picture is done.
practically in the time that they put their 3 exercises to do, I did the 3 years and I finished the whole book of exercises for the week.
Some of these exercises are interesting, but others border on illiteracy, especially when they ask me to order the alphabet, put words in alphabetical order, or to count the vowels in Swedish. I understand that this is for Arabs to learn a totally foreign concept, but for me it is really boring.
Friday during a girl pretend that Monday (today) would do a test to the next level. I was immediately intrigued, and I immediately sent an email to the teacher. But he replied saying that there is no test, and that if I wanted I could just go to try the new class next Monday. AND THAT IS TO TAKE 13! : D
So this week will be the last in which I will get up at 6.30 am, arriving in class dazed and wandering around the house all the rest of the afternoon with the desire to do something concrete, but without the energy to do so, Having stayed low 3-4 hours.
On the musical things are moving instead, but only in an "organizational".
I managed to find a guy to make a melodic death (he sings and plays guitar), and more just half an hour ago I was contacted by another hard rock band to go for an audition with them.
Great! Too bad they are 4 months that I do not touch rods, and he's banging his head anywhere to find a place to go to practice, but without success.
Here the system is at least strange rent single rooms, where you have to put your equipment. The only "replokal" (it is the Swedish word for the rehearsal room, it took me a month to find it) publik (which means it has rooms with adequate equipment and that is already shared with other groups) provides that a group has a at least 3 people to play, and in any event should I book the room 6 months in 6 months. There is also to say that for 6 months asking 200 € A BAND. and if you want to do 2 shifts a week, only 300. Unbelievable. This the link for those interested.
As for my roommates, they are very quiet and polite, I think we are creating a good relationship between us despite a couple of defaillance. Today I was invited to go play badminton with them hahah! It seems that Sweden is a fairly widespread sport.
In these days has begun to snow again today outside was covered with snow, fascinating.
