Hello Sweden!

Since I arrived on thursday I've:

° dinnered at McDonald's, Enkoping, with daddy
° struggled with my jetlag (always have a great strategy to beat it, haven't found one that works yet though))
° dinnered at Ceder's restaurant with mommy and micke
° had Tindra chocolate and rom flavored  glogg (different, but nevertheless very good)
° walked around in DT Vasteras at an hour when most people enjoy a good night's sleep
° forced Uffe to wake up and entertain me at 5.30 am on a Saturday, haha!

It was a very long flight, and the 8.5 hours I spent in Amsterdam didn't contribut to making the whole thing less painful, but I finally made it here and it feels great! Nice to spend some quality time with my family and catch up with friends I haven't seen in a long time. It's cold but no snow so far. I'm hoping for a white christmas, but I have yet to see if that'll happen. My fingers are crossed! However, my planned trip to Vilhelmina will surely satisfy my snow-urge, so excited! Cannot wait to see my sister! She'll get here on the 23rd, but I've phoned with her quite a lot since I got home. 

So far so good! Later!

Air, Amsterdam, and nut!



I am the queen of procrastination, actually did my laundry, STARTED packing, and cleaned my apartment this morning. Did finish most things on my agenda though, will be interesting to unpack and see what necessities I forgot to bring, hehe, well, I'll only be gone for two weeks so I'll be fine.. I'm actually writing from heaven (literally) right now, haha, the plane took off about two hours ago. It was supposed to take off early (only 10 minutes, but still), ended up more than an hour delayed instead due to some sort of technical problems..hmmm... Hopefully they figured it out, since I'm in the air now I mean...

On Monday I spent some quality time with my dear coworker, and friend, Lina. We went on a hair-searching metro-road trip, great success! Then we got cheated on our card-discount at Ralph's, that's right! Cannot trust anyone these days, haha! In some strange way Lina's hair grew about 14 inches that night, my hand got scissor-stabbed, and I probably gained about 10 pretzel-pounds, hehe, it was a great night! Oh, I almost forgot!! We met a humanized myrschloook! Or maybe it was a myrschloookized human... Either way, it was pretty cool!
What else, oh yeah, my finals are over and it feels great! It's been a long semester but I think I've done well, hope so... think so... yeah... guess I'll find out soon enough..

So I arrived to Amsterdam! Just got back from a three hour city-trip, it was perfect as I had 8 hours to kill before my next flight. Amsterdam is beautiful! I loved the architecture and all the little cute stores around town square. I've been awake for 24 hours now, my eyes are burning...

Armen i vinkel horrni, snart ses vi! Puss!

One more thing...

In order to ease up some expectation-based pressure: I will most likely arrive as the palest human being within the Swedish (well, probably Scandinavian... or maybe even European....) boarders. So, the answer is NO, I'm not tanned.... not even a little bit! I have not been sunbathing at all this year (except for like 2 times in june), and I'm not planning on starting now... 

Nice to have that established and out in the open! ;)


Final(ly) Week!

Here I go again, last week of the semester... exhausting as always, but nothing can beat the feeling of turning in that nasty bluebook! Was up pretty much all night last night studying, managed to squeeze in 2.5 hours of sleep before the alarm went off, sweet..... oohhh......

I think I did pretty good though, so hopefully it was all worth it! It's now 12.52 pm and I don't have anything scheduled for the rest of the day. I may go for a walk down to the beach and back, weather is beautiful!  Even though I'm very much against the death penalty, coming from Sweden, I do consider wasting a sunny day a capital crime.  

Speaking of which (Sweden, not the latter;), I'm coming home for 2 weeks over xmas and new year's.. Arriving on the 18th and leaving on january 3rd. Rumor has it that Looptroop will be performing on the 26th, so that's definitely something I'd like to check out! Then I'm off to Vilhelmina on the 28th to visit my sister, but don't you worry guys, I know what you are all thinking; will she be in V-as on New Year's eve? The answer is YES, haha, like anyone would care! Hahaha! 

Well, I'm gonna engage in some form of activity now or I'll fall asleep...
Cheers!
