luzula1) I just returned to civilization after a week out in the woods. It was pretty great--we returned to a place in the north of Sweden where a company wants to mine for nickel, and we're helping the local resistance against the mine. Last year we did forest inventories there (looking at forest structure and fungi, lichens and mosses); this time we did botanical inventories (looking at vascular plants). We found lots of stuff and we just finished working on the press release. So it was a success! Although I'm pretty tired now and the trip home is taking forever due to train track repairs. I'm looking forward to getting home and eating pizza.
2) I have an apartment! \o/ It's from the 1st of August, which is perfect, and it has three bedrooms and a living room (and a kitchen, obviously). I haven't seen it myself, since I've been away, but I sent a friend to take photos and also my parents went there. My parents were against it at first because it's in a poor suburb and they are worried about all the dangerous immigrants and unemployed people living there. *eyeroll* But when they went out there it seems their prejudices didn't bear out, and they liked it after all. Not that them not liking it would've stopped me. Anyway, I am happy about the apartment! It also has a huge walk-in closet/storage room where I can put a guest bed so I can host guests. \o/
3) And so now I'm hunting for two flatmates (this almost sounds like a pun to me because in Swedish "flata" = lesbian). Anyway. I put out an ad at a house-sharing site and now I have eight potential flatmates. I'm planning to meet/Skype with them in the next few days and then hopefully I will find people. Most of them seem interesting and nice, though young--I'm 36 and they're all 20-25. (Although I'm kind of judging one of them for being 23 and having David Eddings as one of her favorite authors?? I liked Eddings when I was, like, 15. Errr, possibly I'm judging her too hard.) The process of finding flatmates makes me kind of anxious. Like, will I be able to tell from first impressions who will work? *frets* Also it's hard to say no to people.
