Living in America

Yesterday was so exciting!

First, when I got home from the store and opened Facebook, I saw the comments from my friends who still were on campus. "There's a guy running around with a gun in South Hall...cops everywhere!", "Lockdown in the library!". They evacuated buildings and rumors ran high, there were hostages, no, the gunman was on the roof, threatening to jump, with shaking hands I tried to figure out what was going on and where my friends were, but the warning system by mail reported that everything was OK, there was no threat, no weapon was confirmed and then T came home telling that her teacher already joked about it.

Second, I want to tell you that I've found the one! Eh, not the One, the right skateboard. Actually it's a longboard, a short longboard, a Sector 9 Bamboo-series named Big Rock, the board is 26.5 inches, the wheels 61 mm, small enough to bring on the flight back to Sweden and with light surface instead of the usual black (that's why it's called Bamboo). I've only tried to skate once before, so I'm superexcited to get it in the mail from the store in San Diego.

And third. The Sounds played in the Hub, the food court on campus. Yes, we're talking Living in America- the Sounds from Helsingborg. In our lunch room. It was a very small and intimate concert, with the audience jumping and singing along in Midnight Sun and Rock'n'Roll. The guards had a hard time pulling down crowd surfers and I climbed up on a pillar and had a marvelous view of the scene and the digging audience.

And fourth, ”This is the comedy show, right?” isn't a very popular question at a church meeting.


Don't fall of the cliffs and don't go to South Hall!
