Row, row, row your boat — SERENDIPITIOUS MISADVENTURES

On Saturday, six of us took part in a rowing competition (despite any real experience, minus a short practice on friday). It was put on by Akademiska Hus, the organization which runs the school buildings. Not only was it a fun, beautiful day, but we got tons of freebies for participating - lunch, a really nice dinner, and entrance to the music festival (Sof). As you'll be able to see, we got our faces painted, and watched the most ridiculous parade I've ever seen. Its theme was "Britain," which I found very strange, but it was so fun. About half of the city comes out to watch it, around 70,000-80,000 people.

First, a cool gif of a bunch of us being silly

Now I want to show you a couple videos. Here is Farrah, being interviewed by Michele, a girl in our program from the Netherlands. We named our team "Team Awesome."

We had two races. I couldn't make it to the morning race, as I had my written Swedish final, so I participated in the race at noon. Here's a video of that race (we kicked butt!). We're around the bend, but you can see us come into view at around 20 seconds.
