the weather today only looks marginally more promising than the weather yesterday, so we will see how work goes. i heard through the grapevine that once it starts raining in sweden it basically means your summer is over, but i think i will go stir crazy if it rains every day for the rest of the project. i'm really a little anxious about getting started on my research project, but no one else seems to be the least bit concerned. i wrote my postcards out over breakfast - muesli with some fresh blueberries that hans bought in gränna yesterday, so good. now i'm sitting at the big house wishing i had brought over my e-reader, but hopefully we will go into the field sooner rather than later.

today is actually the third, not the fourth..i was a little confused. how exactly did i manage to screw that up? days are getting a bit blurred and there really aren't any milestones to measure them by. friday doesn't mean anything anymore, and mondays are the one day to look forward to - it is all a bit topsy turvy. plus, the fact that i started receiving e-mails talking about returning to campus today, i have a feeling that the days are going to turn into weeks very quickly and just keep flying by. every day i get so excited thinking about putting together my new room, about making the drive to jackson, having my first coffee-shop coffee in ages, kissing billy again, being there to have my hand held. work as usual today, in the meantime, with the exception of a television reporter coming out to film a story about the project. lord only knows there will be footage of me on swedish tv slamming my chest against a metal soil sampler. groceries and coffee, a short nap, more coffee, reading and general contentedness. billy has an interview at broadstreet tonight - i'm sure he will be great. today's update is a little curt, but all is well on the swedish front!
