Dorm living

It’s almost noon and we survived in the dorm last night! I have to say, other than the wave of people who came in around 11:30 pm and shuffled around, it was pretty pleasant. I think another group of people came in around 2:30/3:00 this morning but I was so tired that I woke up and went right back to sleep. Asides from the guy in the corner snoring loudly on and off through the night, it was pretty quiet for at least 8 hours or so. Around 7:00 this morning, people started getting up and I grabbed my IPOD and some music totally worked at drowning them out and I fell back asleep until 11:00, when they came around to wake some people up because they had to check out. What was really nice about this dorm room is that there is no direct contact to the sun and since the sun comes up at 4:30 am, it was nice to not get woken up by that. Everyone kept the main door shut as well so light couldn’t come in that way. So now, I’m just kind of waking up, will prob. get dressed and wait a bit to see where Brandy is/went to (I think she was going to check out an art museum this morning) and then we might walk around Södermalm, which is like SoHo but called “SoFo” here and it’s known for a bohemian feel and little cafes and stores. It’s the bigger island to the south of here and we figured we’ve basically explored almost everything except that. We have just one more night here, in the dorms again because we can save around $20 if we stay in the dorm beds over a double room and for this trip, it’s worth it. We thought about taking a night train to Jonkoping tonight but there really isn’t one. We’d end up having to pay for a night at a hotel in Jonkoping rather than just sleeping on the train. So, tomorrow morning, I think we’re heading out around 11:00 am in order to get to Jonkoping around 3:00/4:00.
