I attended my first class. It's called "The Elderly in Modern Society". We had class from 10-11, then a 2 hour lunch break, then 45 minutes of class, a 5 min. break, then 45 more min. of class, & the teacher couldn't take it anymore! He had to take a 20 min. coffee break! Then we were done 35 min. later. Not too bad! We have about 2 full days like today each week. Then the "test" is a big paper after 5 weeks of class. The paper is usually around 20 pages, but if I work on it gradually it shouldn't be too hard. In Sweden, students are on a pass/fail system. There is no other grading scale. Also, Swedish students are actually paid to go to college!

so are you paid to go there then? Good thing mom's not in your shoes because if she was writing a paper, the whole dorm would be on lock down "mom has to write her paper". ALL THE TIME!
