Second day. Well, technically the first. Or maybe we shouldn't get technical.
The flight over here was long and exhausting and I didn't really get any sleep. By the end of it my ass hurt from being stuck in an uncomfortable aeroplane seat for a ridiculous amount of hours and I was so tired that I felt kind of stoned. ... But once I actually got here, everything was fine.
I'm not sure I've recovered yet. I still feel quite, quite tired. Perhaps I'll go to bed early again today, like I did yesterday. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
It rained today. But Stockholm looks lovely even in the rain. Sea had to work in the downtown area today, so I went with her. Man... it's really something. It's so big and impressive and I'm not used to being surrounded by so many people, holy shit. It's like Halifax multiplied by 100. Didn't get any photos because, like an idiot, I forgot my camera. But I doubt most of them would have turned out what with the rain, and it isn't as if that's the only time I'll be in the downtown area. There will be other opportunities to get photos. :)a
Generally I find... it's very relaxing here. I feel at-ease here. It's good. (And Sea is wonderful, of course. <3 )
So. Couple more days of staying here, and then on Saturday we'll go to Turku to meet up with certain persons. That should be interesting. I won't lie - I'm a bit nervous. But I'm sure I'll get over it.
Though, surprisingly, my nerves here have not been as bad as I've expected. Only a little bit of panic now and then. Feels good, man. Though who knows how it would be were the situation even slightly different.
I suspect that it hasn't quite really hit me that I'm actually... here. I mean, I'm here. I know I'm here, because I'm not back home, and it certainly isn't Canada. But somehow, it's still kind of hard to believe that I'm actually in Sweden. Maybe it's because the very thought of travelling is kind of amazing to me. I mean, it's not really... done in my family. But here I am, in Sweden. And it's lovely, and my friend is lovely, and everything is just so -- I don't know. So nice. That's what it is. Well, I'm sure it will all hit me eventually, maybe after I've had more sleep.
Yes, I think I like it here.
