Rally Sweden!

 The application process for UCF study abroad was a little bit long. It is really important to have your passport for a couple months before your trip. I would also recommend getting in contact with the international coordinator of the university you plan to attend early on. That connection is pretty important. If you have to do a wire transfer to another country for a payment, like housing, do no wait until the month before. I am with Fairwinds Credit Union, and they gave me a really hard time. I ended up having to go to Wells Fargo.

 Unfortunately, I cannot really remember too much about what I wanted to say during that first post, but a lot of it is written down somewhere at home. When I get back, I will talk more about the application process and do's and dont's.

Back to SWEDEN:
I went bowling two weeks ago with a couple of guys in Erasmus program, and we had a ton of fun. I also went to something like a backyard rally car race across this tight dirt track. It was pretty entertaining for 100 sek (which is what I paid for a burger one day...). That is how have been judging price here haha. That burger was not as enjoyable as the race, and hanging out with friends.

I think, more importantly, I should mention my trip to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. It was gorgeous. The past couple of days had been very rainy, but on the morning that we were leaving for Stockholm the sun was up for us, and it stayed up all day. We had a three hour guided tour around the old center, and new center. The guide showed us the Royal Palace, Parliament, Town Hall, etc. I love cities on the water so I had a really great time just walking across the bridges.

 I am going to go back for another trip, and maybe do the Ghost Tour. They can be pretty fun sometimes. This coming weekend, I am going to Edinburgh, Scotland to visit my girlfriend and explore the castles. I am a little worried about not having the right clothes since it rains practically everyday over there according to her. It should still be really fun.
