Student life in Lund... What am I getting myself into?

Valborg. Quite an overrated event, in my opinion, but still an awesome night. Went to Lundaspexarna's farce - which I will from now on refer to in Swedish, as 'spex', because, well, it sounds better - called 'Djingis Khan'. One of the most traditional ones along with the Uarda-spex, only performed every fifth year.

I love spexes. I laughed so hard my belly hurt, and it was made all the better by my two all-time favourite spexers being in it. Johan Stenfeldt and Pär Thored - two legends in the student's farce society. The fact that Pär was playing the Empress, dressed in a glittery bra and skirt only added to the hilarity of it all... And Johan, well, he only needs to come on stage for everyone to laugh. He sang 45 seconds of complete nonsense (literally), and was called back on stage by the applause about ten times to do it all over again.

'Ja, ni har då inte bråttom hem i alla fall.'

'Vad vill ni höra nu?'

'Ding-a-ding-a-ding... Äh, ni fattar.'

Imagine that in a Hasse-Alfredsson accent, and you've got a performer everyone loves.

The weather even cleared up on our way up to AF, but damn, it was cold when we came out. You'd never think it was May. And all the students in their fancy dresses and tuxes... Christ, all that - the dresses, tuxes, the spexes and parties... That's going to be my life for the next five years if I get accepted to the linguistics studies, and it's so not me. But what the hell, you gotta sell out a little, right?
...

I finally finished my essay on Lisbeth Adrian. I think this course has made me a tad too critical towards teachers' methods... I do love picking them apart, though.
So, now we've only got the horrible oral presentation tomorrow, not to mention the long awaited for confrontation with the mentor. Exciting. Then, just about nothing for three weeks, and then it's time for the Lund carnival! Yay! Please, please, be sunny. It's only every fourth year, we deserve a nice carnival.
Oh - we're gonna try getting tickets for the shows again tomorrow. Cross your fingers we'll succeed this time, would you?
