Missing cameras
Yes. So I woke up and suddenly found myself to be the main wittness of a theft that happend last night when i was here, using the computers. Some dumb french guys stole a camera from one of the guests at the wedding. They were also drinking beer from the weddingparty. Anyway. I got interviewed by the police and then i had to identify the two french blokes. And indeed they were the ones who had taken the camera. I rock. Woahahaha.
Anyways. That is not the reason for blogging.
This is:
La la la Det var back in the daaaaays. Nostalgi.

Money, money, money...
I FINALLY got my money today... thanks to a nice lady at the bank of scotland in Lairg.
The check was not supposed to be cleared until thursday, but yeah. i've got over £750 in my handbag now.
I am on my way to the pub. It's friday and i've got loads of money. can it get better? NO WAY!
Cheers to our lambmeat pieces from Sthlm, who, sadly enough, waited patiently for us to get the money so we could pay for one night out. Too bad they are flying home this very minute, and therefore they are missing out a lot of the fun at the live music evening at the Invershin tonight.
I guess we will have to make up for it in sthlm very soon :D
I am flying out myself on friday and i've only got 3 workdays left. We're going shopping, clubbing and other stuff the rest of the week and weeeeeeeeeeee I am so happy to go home :D

Homesick
Yes, I've gotten very very homesick by now.
I mean.. Things would have been OK if i hade any money to move around with, but no. Things have been shit, (even literally, don't ask) and I now have a check I cannot cash. To get a scottish bank account, i will fill in a paper and send it in to the bank. then wait for 2-3 weeks, and hopefully I will be accepted and get an account.
I haven't gotten payed for 8 weeks now, and i have been stuck at this darn castle for weeks.
Still going to the pub 2 or 3 times a weeks tho. We get free drinks from... erm.. friends and.. other guys. lol. We love fridays the most. Then they have t his live band playing and Emma and I are in the band as well nowadays. :D Always gives us the microphones and we'll have to sing with em. Fun fun. Last friday we got home at 3.30 in the morning. The pub is supposed to close at 12.30 or thereabouts but we had stayed longer with the owner and a few other guys. Emma and I was, as usual, the last girls to leave the pub and this time also the last ones to go back to the castle. The band was bigger than evar and i think 11 ppl were playing on their instruments and people started to shake their asses to the music! It was awesome!
The swedish volunteers from Sweden we have here banged and decided not to go with us tho. Too bad for them, cos it really kicked ass.

Pubtime
Went out for the 6th time yesterday, together with 9 swedish bikers from Gavle. It was awesome. We asked them out the night before, and they were not late on telling us they were interested in going to a real local pub with a local band playing classical songs to sing along with.
"This is exactly what I've always dreamed of!" is what one of the guys said. Yeah.. it was great fun and we sang all night. Hard to get out of bed this morning though.
Today the Haggis bus will arrive. Hopefully it will be loaded with young backpackers, waiting to get down to the local pub. Coz we are prepared to join them. Emma is doing my hair right now as i type and yeah.. fun fun.
The bridge we have to use to go to the pub

My new home and living
This is a picture of the place, in which i will live for two months this summer. I am working with the house keeping crew and i suppose there could be both worse and better jobs available.
Nevertheless, it's rather OK here. Sure it's boring to clean up after other people, but i'm starting to get the routines now so it's getting better. You know.. the apathic and mechanical feeling when you just do what you are supposed to do without even thinking.
And the more merrier things with this place is the local pub and the cheap alcohol. yes yes.... think we've been out drinking more than 5 times in less than 2 weeks. Lucky enough, if i turn out to be a total drunkard, i will get normal back in Sweden again with no money and too expensive alcohol, hahaha.
Oh yes.. we have even smuggeled in three guys to the castle after the pub closed one time. Then we got busted by the manager... not good, but GREAT fun! :D

Skattjakt
Studentmössan är på och nu är det strax dags för skattjakt. Håll tummarna för min klass, Sp3kusk! Vi kommer få en lista med jättemånga saker vi skall samla in, och beroende på vad för grej man har med och prickar av, får man olika poäng. Mest poäng vinner, eller den som avklarat hela listan. Det kan vara allt från kaniner, barbiedockor och gråhårig tant till polisbilar och 10 fjortisar.

Åååh.....
Det är så underbart att vara kär. Det tål att upprepas, såhär efter tre månader av blod, svett och tårar. Men framförallt av en massa fin kärlek.
Arbetsmarknaden
Jag är kvinna, från Norrland, utan fullständig gymnasial utbildning och av invandrarbakgrund.
Mina utsikter på arbetsmarknaden ter sig inte bra alls, enligt min samhällsvetenskapsbok. Och visserligen är 25% finskt blod inget att skryta med i invandrarbanor, men det var bara principen jag var ute efter. Att jag statistiskt sett är ute ur leken just nu.
