Finishing the program

The entrance to the Institute of Art, where we studied.

So we're done! Finito! Complete!
After studying all day on Thursday and taking the final exam on Friday morning, we are finished with our schoolwork for the program! Thats it! We did it!
I think the final went fairly well; we had a good idea of what would be on it and we all studied the right things. Not saying too much yet though, because we haven't gotten our grades back. Dr. Kimbrell congratulated the class on having the highest average of all her classes, ever, so somehow I think we'll be ok.

Um. Art. At the institute. 

Sweets shop. Wandering around is dangerous.

Farewell dinner

Friday night we had a farewell dinner at the hostel. It was soup. We had spent the past two weeks trying to get the right soup and I was foiled at every turn, but Friday not only did I manage to get it for lunch, I was also surprised with it at dinner. Figures. Cannot complain, however, because it really is good soup and I had been questing after it for quite a while.

Yummy soup with bread and cream cheese.

We all hung around for a bit, taking silly pictures, but eventually people started drifting off to their separate pursuits. For most people, Friday night was their last in Stockholm, and they were leaving fairly early the next morning. Our room turned into Grand Central Station (or T-Central for here in Stockholm) as people came to attempt to get us to go out with them (no, Dad, I wasn't into going out, and yes, I can hear you prodding me to go. lol) and to say goodbye.
I'm glad that I'm staying for a while. I really do not want to get up to leave at 4:45 am to go get on a plane the morning after staying up until 2 or 3 am to pack and say goodbye to everybody. I enjoyed sleeping in this morning. I do have to say, however, that I'm starting to want to go home. Just a bit. ;) I've been going hard for a month.
