International, that's me alright

So, apparently in the eyes of my new university I'm an International Student!! I find this highly amusing on many levels. I'm getting many useful tips on Visa permits, the social security system, travel etc. Apparently I can get a Swedish mentor - the only offer I might want to utilize. I would think being a rootless second generation immigrant Swede with hardly any acquaintances in this part of the country would qualify me, wouldn't you?
