Wow, first 2 days in school has been quite nice… just in 2 days I got classes in all the 4 subject I will study here. Principles of Microeconomics, Principles och Macroeconimcs, Communication and Culture and Intro to Communication skills. I have maybe a average of 2 other Swedish people in each of my classes and a total average of 5 Scandinaviens per class. Maybe 5 Hawaii locals per class and 3 Germans and 4 Japanese.The size of the classes is different from Sweden, just 20-30 people in each class so it is more talking in the classroom and attendence is very important here, especially if you want to get good grades.
A met a bunch of interesting people and that is great, I like! Yeserday we went to The Moose Bar, it is kind of a studentclub. It has a $5 entrance fee but then the drinks just cost $1. Not the best drinks but hey, one dollar! That is really cheap!
And the Ala Moana Food Court which I said I should write about in next post! So here it comes, it is the food heaven! Just 5min away from our house, when I first entered the place I became a bit shocked(in a postive way, of course :), it is soo huge! I would guess at least 35 restaurants and there is also coffeshops, icecream bars, a cinnamon bun bakery! A lunch cost around $7-$9(45-60sek) which I think is a reasonable price!
Tomorrow I have lessons between 14:05-15:30. I will just have around one and a half hour lessons on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. I could change my schedule so I get 3 busy days instead but I dont know, it is nice to have classes everyday so I meet people, the other side of the coin is that it take 1hour to go to and back from the university with bus. I cant really decide how I should do…
Surf tomorrow, it is supposed to be bigger waves tomorrow and over the weekend so I am pretty excited about that. Have a nice day everyone! Aloha!
