I received my card this week to vote in the Swedish elections on the 19th. That is nice. Information about voting in Sweden and the upcoming elections is available in 24 languages including English as well as “easy” Swedish. That is very nice indeed.

Nice things happen to me in Sweden.

Consul Martin Tatuch will be in Jönköping on September 17, and in Gothenburg on September 20 to take applications for consular reports of births, passports, social security numbers, and to notarize documents that will be used in the U.S. Please note that we will not be able to accept applications for immigrant visas.

Umeå University welcomes students from diverse backgrounds; international students from all over the world, and domestic students from the whole of Sweden. What they all will find is a broad range of academic opportunities with English language instruction, including an exciting campus life and valuable support services.

During my last week in DC I learned that I had been accepted into the first of four web design classes at Umeå University. That was really nice.

But it just got nicer today after accepting the registration and accessing the course information, I learned that we have a total of 5 assignments that require approximately 40 hours of reading/work each that must be completed before January 16th. That is nice to know. I love being able to plan.

And what is the nicest thing about the course so far is that we do not have any scheduled meeting times but the young and not bad looking instructor will set up a meeting space for student discussion if that is what most participants want/need.

I am siked about finally learning web design, at my own pace, on my own schedule. That is super nice. Nice things happen to me in Sweden.
