Hej! Well last night I pulled my first all-nighter working on the final paper, the blog, and packing. I wrote until about 5 a.m., then took a shower and threw the last few things into my carry on and suitcase before we had to be out the door at 6:15. We packed into a fewContinue reading “Day 15: Homeward Bound”

Hej! Today was our last full day in Sweden. It was very bittersweet because I’ve had such an amazing time here, but it’s been quite exhausting so I’m ready to go home and relax a bit before I start my last semester. Lauren and I woke up early so that we could eat breakfast atContinue reading “Day 14: Goodbye Gothenburg”

Hej! Today we successfully completed our last day of company visits. It was also the earliest we have ever had to meet to head out in the mornings. After a quick breakfast of bread, parfait, and fruit, we hopped on a coach bus. We were riding in style to BraunAbility (Bruno’s sister company) because itContinue reading “Day 13: Mind & Body”

Hej! Today was our last weekend day in Sweden. Since Lauren’s vegan oatmeal wasn’t very good yesterday, we decided to stick with the regular hostel breakfast. The raspberry jam they have here is very delicious and I wish we had it back home After a late night of celebrating the trip birthdays, we got aContinue reading “Day 12: Bougie Bentleys”

Hej! Today was the start of our second weekend in Gothenburg. A few of us, myself, Lauren, Lyndsey, Kendall, Matt, and Matt, woke up relatively early to go eat breakfast at Tin Tins. While I still ate bread, it was a different kind and I finally had some scrambled eggs. It was eggcellent! I alsoContinue reading “Day 11: Urban Oasis”

Hej! Today was another grey Gothenburg day. For breakfast, I had a larger parfait, fruit, a hardboiled egg, and a ginger lemon shot. I love bread, don’t get me wrong, but eating it every morning is getting a bit old. Once again, we had issues navigating to the first company of the day. Eventually everythingContinue reading “Day 10: Liquid Law”

Hej! Today had a bit of a slow start, but by the end of the night, it turned out to be a pretty good day. Breakfast consisted of the usual meal, but I added some raspberry jam for something different. It was a miserable morning with dark grey skies and intermittent rain. I was lateContinue reading “Day 9: Hockey Games and Photo Frames”

Hej! Our only excursion today was to the Volvo campus to tour an assembly facility and view a crash test. But first, we had to get there. Once again, we had some difficulties with having a student navigate to the destination. Today, we almost got off the tram at the wrong stop when someone finallyContinue reading “Day 8: Volvo’s Very Vivacious Vehicles”

Hej! This morning, I had the same breakfast I’ve had the past few days of parfait, fruit, peanut buttered bread, and a ginger, honey, and lemon shot. Day two of company visits kicked off with a meeting with Magnus, the Market Area Director of Qualisys. This is a motion capture, or mo cap for short,Continue reading “Day 7: Brother Bean in Gothenburg”

My day started off on a better foot than yesterday purely because there was toilet paper in more than 1 of the 4 bathroom stalls. Breakfast consisted of the fresh bread with peanut butter, parfait, and fruit. The new addition was a ginger, honey, and lemon shot to help the day by boosting the immuneContinue reading “Day 6: Are We There Yet?”
