Tom in Sweden

Acceptation.. at last!!

// June 9th, 2009 // Sweden

“Dear Tom,
I am happy to enclose the admission letter for your studies ar Karlstad University the next semester!”

That’s how the Study counsellor from Karlstad University started her email she sent me last week. As you can imagine, I couldn’t be happier! Although I didn’t really expect to be denied, it’s still kinda nice when you get such an enthousiastic response. She even used an exclamation mark!!

Still, when reading the admission letter itself.. a little disappointment was in place. One of my first choice courses is no longer part of the programme. Too bad.. but, instead of studying Web Design & Digital Imaging, I’ll be following the course Nordic Studies. Which is also fine, but still: Second choice Oh well.. I’ve always said that I’m interested in Scandinavia, and there I go! So, all with all.. theser are the courses I’ll be following when I’m over there:

- Global Media (15 ECTS)
- Nordic Studies (15 ECTS)
- Swedish as a Foreign Language 1 (7,5 ECTS)

Sounds great right?? The only thing left is for the examination committee to approve it as well.. again: fingers crossed!

Tack! Tom
