It’s been slightly more than a month ago I arrived in Gothenburg, but tomorrow it will actually really begin! Tomorrow will be enrollment day, and I shall meet my teachers and classmates. From that day on I shall be a true Chalmerist

This last week there have been some introductions activities though. Tuesday was the introduction day by CIRC where many presentations were given by different student organisations and such. I also met some new students there and I just happened to sit down next to an old colleague of mine from SP. It was really nice to catch up with him again. And in the morning I was actually interviewed. Wednesday and Thursday there were guided tours through the campus and the city of Gothenburg. And the past three evenings there were big introduction parties.

Thursday there was a party for all international students at a place called Parken. For many new students this was the first time they experienced the insane alcohol prices in Sweden, and their responses to it actually made me laugh a bit. It reminded me to my first encounter with these prices a year and a half ago

Friday there was a party at the bar of the student area I live in. In a certain Facebook group more than 250 people said they would be attending. That should be interesting, I thought back then, considering there can hardly fit a 100 people in that bar. And I was right, when we got there, there were around 300 people partying outside. It was a great evening where I met many people, including Harry Potter. Did you know he is actually from Czech Republic?!

Saturday evening was the biggest party of ‘m all, Nollkalaset. It’s the first party every year organized by FestU in the Chalmers Studentkår building. The entire building was converted to a big nightclub with seven bars, six dance floors and lounging areas. About a thousand people attended the party. It was crazy. Can’t wait for the next FestU party

But OK, tomorrow is enrollment day, and Tuesday the courses will begin.
