The big party is over - and it was completely different from what I expected, but I'll start from the beginning.
On thursday we had the Goodbye Dinner which was really nice, since there were so many people and everybody was in a good mood. The food was good too, but not enough (at least for me...).However, on friday the first exchange students from last term arrived in Karlstad - we had a small but cool Party in our kitchen and it was really nice to see everybody again. On saturday morning, the day of the real party, people took sofas and chairs outside, listened to music and had a good time. It was pretty cool and funny, Lene (Norwegian girl from last term) and Björn had a water fight, people were dancing and BBQing...and at 4 o'clock everybody went to the parking place in front of Rumpan Bar (a bar at campus) for the big pillow fight...and that was when everything changed... People who know me know that I'm careful, at least most of the time. And I was careful during the fight - I never was "in the middle", I stayed outside and goofed around with friends...and suddenly I saw Harry, the austrian from last term. I said "HI!" and we started a small pillow fight...and somehow, I don't know how, our two underarms crashed together - and I broke my arm. Ouch. I lost the pillow fight, so to say...and I realized it immediately, holding my arm, looking at Harry and mumbling "oh no, please n
o...not now...". Poor Harry, he was shocked too...Anyway, Björn called the ambulance and after they asked for my birthday, name, social number etc. they finally said that I should call a cab...which I did, and Sabrina came with me. Marco took his car and followed us.Together we waited in the hospital..forget everything you've heard about the swedish health system, it's really not THAT good. We were waiting for more than 1 hour before I could go to the x-ray and another hour before they put the cast on...all in all we waited a bit more than 3 hours... Well, the nurses are on a strike (understandable, because the nurse salary is ridiculously low) and that didn't help...
Anyway, my left arm is in plaster now...so I'm typing this with my right hand...hope you appreciate this :P
The rest of the evening was nice...I came back from the hospital, everybody took pictures and was drunk..I called my family and went to Jonathan's place to watch the eurovision...Although I was in a party mood I figured that it's best to have a calm evening. I didn't want to risk more injuries or drunken people running me over, especially because of my arm... Anyway, about Eurovision - Russia won, definitely not my favourite - a bland, Timbaland-produced ballad (why does he have to be EVERYWHERE??)..at least the Ukraine got 2nd...
Sunday was calm - dinner with Sabrina and Marco, since Sabrina left today...
Well, that's it so far...
