The year started off a little slowly with all my friends and house mates spending the holidays at home, but as they started to return that is when things really started to become crazy fun again. At this point I would just like to bring to your attention that the average temperature in Linköping for the past month has been -20'C and as I'm typing this post there is easily 50cm of snow covering everything outside!
Under these circumstances it is easy to understand how things slowly led from one thing to another and soon we found ourselves marching towards the forest near my house, wearing everything we owned, armed with shopping bags because we were going sledding and nothing was going to stop us. It was great fun and the sight of almost 10 students screaming like little children as they sped down slippery slopes inside big blue IKEA shopping bags turned more than a few heads. Unfortunately the cold got the better of us and after only about an hour we were sweating out the craziness in the sauna.
Sledding along with movie marathons, parties and fika's is pretty much all one can do in this weather, but I'm not complaining as even that can be fun. However, the real highlight of January was my trip to Ireland and the UK.
