It's been a long december

Right so... it has been a long and nice holiday. Spent it at mother's place in Söderhamn together with her, little brother Jesper and big brother Christoffer plus his girlfriend. We all absolutely LOVE christmas and we had some nice couple of days together. Also spent some time at granny's place and looked after Sigbritt, our family's dog, for a couple of days. After New Years Eve, i traveled together with Christoffer and Annika to Skövde to spend a couple of days there with them, before going home to Linköping to start school again. Had a total slack time with PC games and some Call of Chtulhu rpging.

Finally went home, looking forward to start school again, on January 11th.

Ending of this semester

Packing my things to go home over the holidays. This semester ends tomorrow and after school, i will take the train to Söderhamn. I bet 100 SEK that the train will be late. So typical. :)

My little personal exhibition of photos has been up for a week, and yesterday i had two paintings in the painting class exhibition. One painting will be a Christmas gift for my big brother and his gf. The photos will be taken down tomorrow before i leave. will see if i can bring it with me to show a few of the pictures at home. I also have to remember to empty my mac computer and save all photos i have taken! It has been a fun semester indeed :)

You've got mail

Been a couple of hectic and very stressful days lately with loads of school work due to the end of this semester closing in. Exams, two exhibitions (one is the group project we've done, and one is a solo exhibition), ordinary schoolwork, and more that has to be done. People have been sick or just absent in my group as well, so we are way behind schedule :( Even i am sick at the moment with a dry cough. I am sipping hot milk with honey every morning when i get up, every day when i get home from school and every night before i bed. Good thing it doesn't only make your throat feel a bit better, it is kinda yummy too :3

Today I got some goodies in my pigeon hole :D I had ordered a poster online some week ago, and it arrived today. Sent all the way from Moldova :)

This is what it looked like :D

Sorry for bad quality on the pictures. Took them with my phone :)
So yeah. Everyone in class got super interested in what it contained so i had to open it to show them. When i got home i put it on my wall. Or well. It isn't my "wall" exactly. Just a huge ugly orange message board. Yes, the more i have to cover it with, the better!


So there she is now. The Queen. The one and only. Beyoncé. :)

Anniversary and trip to Söderhamn

Today school celebrated its 50th anniversary. Had some performances and tenderloin for lunch, and cake after. I had to skip the cake though cos I had to catch the train to Söderhamn! First weekend going home after i moved here. Mom will be in Sthlm over the weekend, so i will be at her place alone, looking after her cats and Bitchen who is staying there whilst i live in Linköping. I miss Bitchen :(



Billy is coming to Sweden this weekend, that is why mom is away to pick him up etc. I will go home on Sunday but i have already booked tickets to come back here in two weeks. That's when they are getting married. :)

Weekend

Worked like an animal saturday-thursday to get everything out of my apartment and finishing cleaning before the inspection before i leave for Linköping. The inspection of the apartment took maybe 10 minutes and there was nothing the guy wasn't happy with. I handed over the keys and went home to moms to relax after all those hectic stressful days.

That thursday night i packed my bags, and the morning after i took the bus and the train to Linköping. Met up with sofie and thomas at the train station and they helped me carry all my bags. Went to their apartment and spent the night in their sofa.

Next day was javascript:void(0)spent playing Götterdämmerung and drinking alcohol with sofie, thomas, jonas and sofia. After that we all walked to Ryd from Lambohov to get to Café Myran. We had a welcome party for me and had some nice drinks and 7 hour long Trivial pursuit session.

Today sunday i will move into my new place :D Boarding school here i come!

Moving spree

Have had Sofie over and she helped me start moving all my heavy boxes to the storage room i am renting. 15 square meters big, which is about twice what i need but space is always good, right? Anyhow, we have been good girls today :) We will continue tomorrow.

New books

Listening a bit to The Killers and enjoying some really good dinner. Planning to start packign most of my things after the weekend. Thomas and Sofie are coming over a little bit later, and we're gonna have a nice time on my balcony with some liquor and then head downtown for the club to see what is happening this friday night.

Also went to a second hand store a couple of days ago and bought two old books. Neato :)



I like the one to the left, and hope to find books from the same series in the future as well.

New running shoes

Drog till Valbo köpcenter idag och besökte löplabbet. Helt klart värt resan dit! Fick mina fötter inspekterade och sedan filmades dem när jag sprang på löpband i ett par neutrala skor. Det var ju lätt att se sedan på replay att jag överpronerar (vilket jag redan funderat ut), och den vänliga kvinnan som hjälpte mig hittade perfekta skor på en gång. Fick provspringa igen och nu liknade det mera en rät linje. Köpte ett par Saucony ProGrid Omni 8 för 1400 kronor. Jag rekommenderar Löplabbet till folk som letar skor till löpning eller walking.

Went to Valbo shopping mall today and visited Löplabbet. Totally worth the trip. They took a look on my feet, put me into some "neutral" shoes and let me walk and run on their threadmill. While i did so, they recorded it and after some minute the pressed on replay to analyze my technique. They went to get a pair of sheos they thought would fit me, and amazingly enough they did. I ran again and this time when we pressed replay, i was runnign much better with my feet. So i bought a pair of Saucony ProGrid Omni 8 for 1400 SEK. I reccomend Löplabbet for people who want to try out new walking/running shoes.

Today

Today i drove the sofa+armchairs and some mattresses to the recycling area. My apartment feels atleast three times bigegr with all this furniture gone. I used to use an armchair when sitting at my comptuer and since it is gone now, i use the sofa table to sit on. Yeah, very unconfortable. :(

Took a trip to Trönö yesterday and went thru some more stuff that was mine. Threw away a whole lot of crap, but saved some toys in a big box that i will give away to the asylum seeking kids living on my yard. Got a couple of dolls, games, puzzles, books, etc. My dad gave me 10k SEK, so i will try get a trip down to Valbo in some day, and buy shoes and other things i can find useful.

This evening the dog i have been lookign after for a week has been picked up. As a thank you i got Beyoncés perfume Heat. I think i have been waiting for it to come to sweden since may :P Awesome.

New ID would be useful too. And new school material. And canvas to paint on, plusmore acrylics. Pref. white and black. And more.

Cake

When my dad moved to Karlskrona, some ten years ago or so, he decided to rent the house out. Now he has sold the house to the family who was renting it, and that means we had to go there and get all our old things out of there. I was there yesterday sorting out some of the thigns that were mien and my older brother's. I was a bit surprised and relieved that i didn't have as much things i could have. Most of the things i brought with me to moms place when dad and mom got divorced. The things i found that was mine, i decided to either take with me home or store at my grandparents old barn.
I also saved an old photograph from moms and dads wedding. I wasn't born when they got married but my big bro is on this picture.



Today mom and i went to second hand and looked for books from the 30's-60's. We found none and went to the grocery store to buy stuff to make a cake instead. Little bro Jesper liked it too.

Good fall season

True blood already started this season, and tomorrow we can also see the season premier of Mad Men! After that, all shows i follow will start rolling on nicely :D This fall i will enjoy these:

Weeds, Fringe, Destination Truth, Brothers and Sisters, Gossip Girl, House, NCIS, Glee, Cougar Town, Desperate Housewives, Heartland and probably even more!


And no i don't follow Dexter or Supernatural. The more people tell me to, the less likely i am to actually give them a try.

Guests and Games

Got Sofie and Björn over as guests yesterday. Had some chocolate and lemonade whilst getting ready to play an old game . When we were younger we used to love this game. Plot is that rich Aunt Agatha has passed away and her former employees are vying to inherit her money. You play the employees and try kill the rest off to get the money to yourself.

Food poisoning

Yesterday my mom took me out for dinner at our favorite pizzeria. I had a Hawaii salad. It has crab, shrimps, yummy vegetables etc in it. Today when i woke up i did not feel very well.
Had a very upset stomach and it was coming out both ways.. nice :( And what a perfect timing this is. I need to do some packing and sort out some papers. I guess i will just take it easy and rest all day. Maybe do some easy cleaning and packing only. It is nice to throw away stuff you don't need. Kind of limiting the total sum of things you owe.

Good, good, good!

Got in a good mood when i came home and had mail saying i was approved for student aid this fall. So nice that it is approved! And since i will become a student again, i don't have to pay back on the loaned money i got some year back for studies. So good that can wait. It has been almost impossible to pay all bills plus paying back on the loan, whilst living on minimum living wage.

• Gave notice to the landlord? Check!
• Canceled the broadband? Check!
• Canceled the electricity? Check!
• Bought boxes to pack in? Check!
• Fixed transportation of furniture ? Check!
• applied and approved for student loan? Check!!

Church hunting

Spent yesterday with some sightseeing around the area together with mom, trying to find a suitable church for my mom's wedding. The church we originally wanted is closed from fall to spring, and since the wedding would be in October we had to find a second option. Today we went to Söderala to have a look at the church. Unfortunately we couldn't look inside cos it was locked, but the church is cute from the outside.

We think this is gonna be the one :)

Packing

It is time to slowly start cleaning out my apartment and pack all stuff into boxes. Also have to decide what things to bring to Linköping when i move. It's kinda sad i can't bring everything. Saddest thing is that Bitchen can't come with me.

It is starting to look messy with my things all over the place. Hopefully it will start to clear out soon.

Soft touch of spring

I should take a visit to Kappahl and check these things out. The pants have potential to be a pair of really nice comfortable semi baggy ones, and the spring jacket is really nice. The top is cute and I love the pink colour. :)
