I went to Jönköping together with a lot of the other participants of the courses and I hadn't exaclty planned on buying much, but after entering the second hand shop and saw the books section I just found too many books and manga that I wanted, and some books for my mom and my boyfriend too. Everything was so cheap too. I even found some beautiful Asian china from Japan and Korea, including that lovely porcelain spoon! :) I also found a thin, loose-fitting black vest dress thing that I thought looked really good on me too. :) In total I spent 249 SEK in this second hand store... Oops. ^_^'

 

Later when we got into the city I headed pretty much straight for Akademibokhandeln to check out the book sale. At first I didn't find much, but then I laid eyes on the Joseph Delaney Spook's series books. I hurried over and checked the price. 49 SEK per book! Such a bargain! THey only had books 2, 4 and 5 but I took them and checked them out. So now I had in total spent about 400 SEK. Definitely more than I had anticipated.

 

In the beginning I had intended to buy new headphones while I was in town because my current ones are starting to become worn. But after the book binge at the second hand store I felt that it would probably better if I waited with that.

 

After the trip to the book store I headed towards the city library and sat there for a bit, but as I was using the loo, someone called out in the PA system that the library closed in 10 minutes. I checked my watch and noted that it was 2:50 PM. And in my head I went: "What kind of library closes this early even if it is Saturday?!" However, I finished my business and when I got out I ran into one of the other participants. Which was lucky because I was wandering alone and I didn't have the number to any of the others' but two, and a teacher. We talked for a brief moment then I ran to the fantasy section and grabbed book 1 and 3 of the Spook's series and borrowed them, before returning to the other participant.

 

The two of us started wander the streets because we still had at least an hour before it was time for the early group to head home. (One group would leave by 4 PM and the other woul attend a play around 6 PM). He showed me where the teacher had parked the minibus and after this we bought ice cream at McDonald's (and I bought a bag of Chili Cheese Tops as well). After that we started heading towards the area where the theatre would be. On the way there we decided to get something to drink in a oub so we went into a pub and I was treated to a glass/pint of beer. :)

 

After that we decided to head back to the minibus since it was almost time. But when we got there around 4:25 PM the bus wasn't there. We called the teacher and she told us that while she had said 4:30 to Robin (the other participant) they had apparently changed it to 4 PM instead. She thought I was aware of that and left when I didn't show up.

 

So, Robin and I walked to the train station so I could take the bus from there to Gränna so I could take the ferry back to Visingsö. At the station we tried to see if it was possible for me to use the buscard that he had been given for the latr groups trip back, but it was not. We said goodbye so he could head towards the theatre, and I exchanged some money so I could pay for my ticket on the bus (they only take cash).

 

On the bus I fell asleep and was dozing pretty much the entire ride there. Once I arrived I had to wait for about 20-30 minutes before the ferry arrived. While on the ferry I took the opportunity to charge my phone which was almost dead and got it up to about 25%.

 

When I arrived at Visingsö I walked back to the school and when I got back I headed to the school building to pick up the rest of my stuff, because I had placed them in the minibus so I wouldn't have to drag them about all the time. After I had done that, printed outsome papers and gotten a housemate of mine to help me carry my "loot" to the cabin. Once in the cabin I proceeded to empty out my stuff on my bed, being careful of course due to the porcelain items.

 

When I looked at what I had bought and stacked them up nicely, as seen in the picture above, I only had one thing on my mind.
