ett, två, tre, fyra, fem, sex, sju, åtta, nio, tio

I taught myself 1-10 in Swedish today. It will probably be useful to know. So the overall party in the rain Wednesday night was awesome. A section of grass on campus was roped off for it because in order to sell/drink alcohol on campus it needs to be contained in an area. The party was put on by older students in the computer science department for the new students as sort of a way hangout and drink beer. Deb's boyfriend Bjorn is in that department so we tagged along. There was a huge trailer full of crates of beer that were sold for cheap and there were burgers as well for like 3 bucks. There is this sauce which is a combination of fry sauce and thousand island dressing and it is SO good. The area filled up with tons of students and everyone grabbed crates of beer and sat in groups of about 6-8 people and played caps. It was a very simple game and a lot of beer was drinken. There is a middle cup filled up all the way with beer and everyone places their cup around it and fills it about halfway and sits indian style a legs length away from their cup. Going around in a circle you throw a bottle cap with your elbow on your knee and you can't extend past 90 degrees to try and make it in a cup and who evers cup you get it in they have to drink it. If you make it in the middle cup everyone drinks and yells hjalte (hero). The person can challenge back if you make it in theirs and if they make it into yours you keep going back and forth until someone misses and you have to drink the amount of caps that is in your cup. There are funny rules also. If someone burps you try to slap people on their forehead and to prevent it you put your hand to yours. Also, if someone does anything stupid/embarrassing they have to drink. If you ask whos turn it is you have to drink. If you take too long to throw someone can go "ahhhhh tempo...tre, tva, ett, kuk (three, two, one, cock) and everyone points at who they think is supposed to throw and whoever has the most people pointing at them they have to drink. It's a fun game. 

It's raining today. I might plan a day trip to Stockholm this weekend. Have a good weekend everyone! Miss/love
