4 girls found me at the train station on my way to Vaxjo. This is all of our luggage we had to lug everywhere!
I finally got my address:

Christina Sweeney

Seminarievagen 24A:205 (2 dots over the 2nd "a")

SE-352 38 Vaxjo, Sweden (2 dots over the "a" & "o")


These are all but 2 of the people living on the same floor as me. We share a kitchen & living/dining area. They are fron Spain, Turkey, Bali (I think...somewhere below Sweden), Canada, & Ireland.


The Kitchens:









The sink is broken on this side.













Walking from dining/living area towards kitchens. Both kitchens are on the right.
























Dining table. I try not to eat off of it.









Living area:



When i took this it smelled like beer. Vaxjo University has rules that we have to keep everything clean. Sweden has a law for no indoor smoking. People weren't abiding by these rules in any of the 3 apartment buildings. The University heard it was a wreck & came in yesterday. They promised to sanitize & clean everything up early next week! YAY!

This the room I came to:










This bed was the most disappointing after so much traveling! Yes, that is one mattress cover.

































Teeny tiny bathroom. A shower, sink, toilet, 2 mirrors, heater, & medicine cabinet. This is the photography I've been taking with my new camera! What do you think?





















There are 2 doors. There's the wardrobe to the left, & bathroom to the right.





This is at Vaxjo University. There are about 300 International students that come to them every semester. Off the top of my head I think I have met some from Turkey, USA, Canada, Spain, Bolivia (or Bulgaria...he was hard to understand), Hong Kong, Japan, Ireland, Germany, Mexico, Italy, & more. Here we are standing around waiting for a town & campus tour.


haha...this is not even everything I wanted to pack. These are just some of the clothes. I did get everything packed! However, my weight limit was 2, 50 lbs suitcases. I had 1 suitcase at 60lbs., & one at 75lbs. I had to leave a lot of it! Ashlyn liked that though.
