Finally finished school!!!

[Solange]

I'm so happy, I just have to share, or I'll burst!

The essay I was complaining about a few weeks ago got the highest grade! That as my last assignment! Now I have my degree!

If I weren't so tired I'd dance around screaming with joy... -Hey, I can do that anyway! *dances around screaming with joy*

*passes out from exhaustion*

I'm back again! :D

Now I only have to work on ships another 150 days, and then I'm a qualified skipper with licence to drive medium sized boats in the archipelago!!! Wow!

If you're ever in Sweden, send me a note and I'll take you on a boat trip! If you have the guts! :)

Hey, that's great! I love boat trips, and I have a friend in Sweden that I'm supposed to go visit in about two years, so I'll give you a call! :D ;)

I love going on boat rides, but I'd get sick on the high seas.

Small boats are taxi boats smaller than 20 gross tons, and usually no more than 12 passengers. I'm already licensed to drive these.

Medium are more than 20 gross tons and below 70, the ship owner I work for has a boat of 69 gross tons, it is 24 meters long and can take up to 98 passengers.

Big boats are between 70 and 500 gross tons, it will take a few years before I'm allowed to drive them!

Huge boats are ferries that can take thousands of passengers, for that you need a captains degree, that is not something I'm aiming for, at least not right now, I like the smaller boats!

Here (http://www.angsholmen.se/) is a picture of Karl Johan, the boat I'llbe driving in ½ year. Right now I work as the engineer on the bigger Tranan in the same company.
