Just as I didn’t know that we were staying until 5pm yesterday, I didn’t know we where going to meet on Wednesday as well. But there were more information, this time about expectations and myths about the Hyper Island, and our presentations continued.
It hit me several times, both today and yesterday, that I’m really sitting here. Here at Ångan, listening to Maria, Sofie, and Sofie talking. And they are talking to me, me and my classmates. We are a part of Hyper Island from now on.
We finished before 4pm. The last thing we talked about was next Monday. That’s when the UGL (Understanding Group and Leader) begins. I’m both very excited and a little intimidated about this course. So let’s see what happens.

Today was my first day at Hyper Island. Ola, Sanna, Calle, Karin, and I met outside our apartments and walked together in the morning. It really felt like first day, just like first day of first grade. Everything is new, so many expectations and thoughts at the same time. And we all walked with a smile on our faces.
I didn’t know what we were doing this day, but I some how didn’t expect to be there until 5pm. But there were so much information, we got our email addresses and the access card to the facilities, and we also had to present our selves.
It was really cool to meet all my classmates. I “knew” some of them from Grafiskt Forum, MSN, and Facebook. I also met some of them during the admission days. There was still some I hadn’t met and our class is now a full number of 38 people.

Now I have met so many of my classmates that I really think DM11KNA will be an amazing group of people. We are from all over the world (well Danny is from the U.S. and Åse is from Norway), we are from different kinds of environment, and the ages goes from 18 to 30, and we have done so many different things.
Right now we are all excited about school, we are why more relaxed then last time we saw each other – which was during the admission days and I’ve never been so nervous as I was then. We all hung out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Last night, which was Sunday, eight of us had dinner together. Home made dinner. We were all eating, talking, and listening to music. We actually have our own DM11KNA music list at Spotify where all of us have added songs we like. After dinner we walked over to another apartment where five students are living together. Their apartment is sick. 4 meters to the ceiling, five gigantic rooms with a super nice kitchen…all spread out on 173 square meter. So we where sitting in one of the guys rooms, 15 of us, and talked until midnight.

I’ve been in Karlskrona for a week now and I really do love it. My family helped me move last Saturday and there has been something going on every day. I’ve unpacked and the apartment really feels like home. Some of my stuff I also had in my last apartment in San Diego, so that might be why. I’ve met up with my friends who I got to know while they lived and worked in San Diego. I also found a trail where I can run and it’s about 5K.
A lot of people from my class got here Friday and Saturday, so we all met up and partied a little. It’s nice since 12(!) people live in the same building sharing three apartments.

I think I’ll keep the title WordPress gave this first post. Hello world! It really says everything I want with this blog. This will be my story, my presentation, and my thoughts about everything going on during my time at Hyper Island.
Hyper Island. I can say that so many times and it brings a smile on my face every time. I am so so so super excited and can hardly wait until Tuesday which is the first day of school.
