And so it's done...

I just submitted my UC application.... Have mixed feelings about it, both relieved to have it over with but at the same time I'm scared to death that I screwed up on some essential information... I looked it over probably a hundred times.. but still... Shit, feel like throwing up...

I decided to apply to UCLA and UC Berkeley, this means that I skipped UC Davis, a school I was determined to include, in the last minute.  Well, I can always add it later if I change my mind... Ok, have to try to focus on something else now... for example my sociology research paper, I'm more in the mood for a  beer (or 20), but I don't think that would lead to anything good really, except for a terrible headache tomorrow... which is actually pretty bad so; no.. Sociology it is! 

I might as well post a short update in general while I'm at it:

Since my last post I've:

~Been wining with Anna in Venice

~Attended Meleja's 2nd B-day party

~Discovered Jason Mraz (late, I know)

~Celebrated Thanksgiving in Brentwood with Lina and her "Family"

~Been made fun of, by Lina because of my Jason Mraz fetish 

~Sipped Margaritas at Baja Cantina with Filippa

~Been complaining about life in general

~Bathed a lot (this Californian winter is killing me) 

~Studied, worked, and played with Meleja

I think that pretty much covers it all....

Cheers!

Polisen: Ett mycket märkligt beteende

En medelålders man i Borås söks av polisen efter att han satt sig på två elvaåringa pojkars magar.

– Mannen bad om hjälp med att hitta sina vantar. Efter en stund tryckte han ner dem mot marken och satte sig på deras magar, säger Björ Blixter, presstalesman, polisen Västra Götaland.
Det var strax efter lunch som polisen larmades om att två pojkar utsatts för ofredande av en medelålders man i Borås. Polisen har ingen förklaring till mannens agernade och vet inte heller vad mannen ville få ut av situationen.
– Det är ett mycket märkligt beteende. Men pojkarnas föräldrar har inte velat polisanmäla händelsen, säger Björ Blixter.
Polisen har trots det valt att spara mannens signalement i fall han skulle dyka upp i senare sammanhang.
– Han var lång cirka 190 centimeter och pojkarna blev mycket skrämda av honom. Men eftersom anmälan inte kom in förrän 40 minuter efter händelsen hade han försvunnit när vi kom dit, säger Björ Blixter.

Today is Monday, but it's also Veteran's day, meaning national holiday and campus is closed! NICE! I'm actually still in bed, and as of right now, have no plans on relocating any time soon. It is freaking cold outside.. Well, I just checked the temperature and it's 64 degrees F (17.8 in celsius). It just doesn't make sense, I'm never this cold in Sweden even though the weather is way harsher there... My best shot on an explanation would be that the poorly isolated houses here are not built to shut out cold, making the inside equally cold the outside temp. I could probably use a hot bath to defrost myself right now... yeah, that's gonna be my next project, a boiling tub with bubbles! 

Except for the environmental conditions this weekend has been really good! Worked all day thursday and friday, and saturday until 4, after that I was headed off to school for some volunteer work at the 1958 homecoming game. I'm still not completely sure about the purpose of my volunteering, I carried around some balloons and helped out with seat covers, hmmm, great contribution..? Well, it was fun and I got to spend some time with some of my Phi Theta Kappa mates. After the game I joined, my newly found friends, Julio and Jason to the Gas Lite to sing karaoke and dance, it was just awesome (not my singing, but the night in general;)! 

On Sunday I got to sleep in (I had the second shift at work), very nice and well deserved! 

Ok, hot water and bubbles, can't wait! Have a great Veteran's day you all!!

Oh happy day! (November 4)

News flash! We have a new presidential elect, Barack Obama, who will take office on January 20th, 2009. This is all very exciting! I believe Obama can, and will, bring change to America. 

As a matter of fact, just by winning the election change has already taken place. 

Congratulations America!

Halloween

Betty Boop was the targeted look, but whether or not this was executed in a satisfactory manner... I'll let you be the judge. 

The night started at my place with 4 girls, music, margaritas and make up. It was great spending time with the girls, something that happen way less often than I would prefer these days. After two hours of extreme makeovers, we were on our way to, what showed to be, the worst traffic jam in history. We were literally stuck on the freeway for over an hour, and as we finally made it through to exit in West Hollywood (1 block from where the club was located), an accident and it's blue-dressed messengers redirected us back on to the freeway from hell, damn it! So close! I should also mention that the radio/CD player in Filippa's car is broken, meaning no music to the people. We did manage to find a temporary solution though, by cozying up to a ots-loud neighbor. Many curses and 2 hours later we finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, Hollywood blvd! Our little road trip came to it's end around 11.30 as we happily entered the door to Ecco, and so the fun began! I had no less than a total blast! Lots of crazy people wearing even crazier costumes, but more important, a great group of friends! Filippa, Michelle, and Anna, thanks for an awesome night!

Oh, I just remembered, I'm sorry to disappoint you guys, I was NOT naked in the car, even though Michelle did manage to catch me from a very dress-less angle. Hahaha! I love it, hilarious!
