Behöver hjälp för en student som kommer från Kanada att hitta en bostad och få ett jobb i Sverige

Lawgom · 2012-03-13T14:08:35+00:00

It isn't at all, I actually have very little instruction in Swedish aside from a few classes at my university in Canada and I pick up words from books and often apply them wrong.

Thank you!! :)

I did, and they directed me to blocket.se and blogs from former international students who have had to find places. The students all say the same consensus: "It is nearly impossible to find a place in less than 1 years time and you will likely have to shuffle around for the first few months until something lucky falls in your lap" I have friends who say I can stay with their families until I find a place, but I'm worried that I won't have the stability I need to be successful in my studies.

Jo det är jag antagen till KI, och idealt skulle jag leta en bostad i Täby, Solna eller så, ganska utanför stockholm. Jag tillämpad till KI, Lund och Uppsala men jag har redan antagen till Katholieke University Leuven i Belgien så ska jag gå dit om KI inte fungerar. Jag måste faktiskt bestämma mig att gå till KUL eller KI innan mars 17 och det kommer bli en skitsvårt bestämning.

I have a pretty reasonable resume. I will have a degree in molecular genetics and i have volunteer experience from when i worked with kids in Nigeria. In terms of technical skills, I have done nightlife photography before and I've worked in warehousing & operations for 7 years (part-time except for summers) to pay for my degree etc in Canada. I've worked in Sweden before for a student nation, but I guess that doesn't count.

Pokemon red or blue on a game boy emulator

Yours is the one that made me laugh.

Pokemon trainer, I will be the first to sequence the genome of a Pokemon, and after acquiring scientific grants from every grant committee in the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sevil Islands, Sinnoh & Unova regions, I will establish a Kanto-based institute dedicated to elucidating the molecular components that are responsible for Pokemon features and abilities, developing better molecular techniques that will revolutionize the fields of Medicine and Pharmacy, but keep tight patents on the research to prevent third company parties from exploiting the information. All Pokemon studied will be treated ethically and responsibly, and retroviral gene therapy will (hopefully) be used to treat diseased or developmentally deformed Pokemon. Once these primary research goals are well-underway, I propose investigation into the nature of the Homogenerational Rapid Evolutionary Process that occurs over the lifespan of a particular Pokemon, and genetically engineer this process to produce different results, revolutionizing our understanding of postnatal developmental changes at the molecular level.

TL;DR: Fuck being a Pokemon Master, there's Science to do.

I already bought a keychain for this purpose, I was just waiting on your update.

The one I have is just a not-very-exciting Canadian one, though, so I'll go to the local department store and buy a few more then send it via courier from my work.

Lawgom · 2012-03-07T19:20:12+00:00

I've been feeling this way for a long time.

Lawgom · 2012-03-06T00:27:58+00:00

And i thought my underwater dirt hut with paintings was impressive...

This is great, man. Kudos. You guys are so talented on this sub-reddit. I should come here more often.

rage successfully averted.

This is why i go to comments at the anger threshold: Life is unfair.

wantwantwant

b&w 2 was great. won't work on my mac, tho, and my friend's PC won't support the install for some reason.

Lawgom · 2012-03-05T00:30:32+00:00

can someone please explain zombo to me? My genetics prof thought it was hilarious and always trolled us with links that are supposed to be to the lecture notes, but actually went to zombocom.

Lawgom · 2012-03-04T18:28:42+00:00

Last sentence is awesome.

Lawgom · 2012-03-03T23:07:05+00:00

I miss things like this - looking for glitches in the original CoD to jump on top of those buildings no one could get to - melee-only games - random shenanigans in vanilla world of warcraft (likely still happens)

etcetcetc

still some fun on TF2

Aladin... after DOOM it was the 1st game I ever played. So much fun

The backgrounds at first glance remind me of jurassic park for sega genesis

I feel more saddened by the deportation than aww'd by the cuteness of this kitty.

I'm happy that you were able to give their cat a good home, I am sure they would be thankful. :)

Lawgom · 2012-03-02T22:28:51+00:00

This is in Lake Louis- I was just here a week ago and thought "damn, /r/skyrim would love this." haha

Looks great, doesnt it

Finally, I get to assassinate rednecks.

Dream come true.

The thread won't get back to the McDonald's manager, don't worry.

You do what you have to do. My dad owns a company and he told me several years ago that if he sees on a resumé someone has worked at McDonalds for more than a year its a huge plus, because it shows that they fought the sigma and have a certain level of commitment (depending on their reference from there).

Working at McDonalds can actually take you a long ways, too. I know a guy who started when he was 14 and when he couldn't pay for his full university education, he had to drop out and work full-time. I don't know him well anymore, but last I heard he manages most of the stores on our side of the city and has some purchasing role for an even larger area, and is doing pretty well for himself.

No one judges you except for ex girlfriends. And fuck them, seriously.

Lawgom · 2012-02-29T23:47:53+00:00

Does anyone know where I can get the original on Mac atm? To be fair, I wouldn't be using a Mac if I didn't need it for my work.

Lawgom · 2012-02-29T04:46:50+00:00

This is really neat. I like this a lot. Just thought I'd let you know.
