They Call Me Sweden

We found out during the night that Jekku would be a really good guard dog when Joel’s flat mate came home from a Fibes, Oh Fibes! concert. Imagine how it would be to wake up in the middle of the night by a dog that’s barking and crying. Well well.

Joel and me will take out him rather soon and then later in the afternoon I’ll meet two of my best friends, Linn and Mikaela. Linn turned 19 yesterday so we’ll celebrate her somehow today. Hopefully we also have time for planning for next summer; the plan is to island hopping in Greece. I’m so excited to go to travel with them. We’ve known eachother for three years (we met in year one at high school) so I’m sure we have the time of our lives!

Mikaela, Linn and I at Linn’s goodbye party in 2007 that she had before she went to the US. They are the best and always there for me. <3

Oh, feels so nice that it’s finally weekend and that I could sit in the green sofa (that you seem to disgust haha) and just typing on the computer. The sky is blue (!) today, hope that weather will stay the entire day. My boyfriend is away playing tennis at the moment.

Today I’ll meet a friend of mine for a ‘fika’ (there’s no translation in English for that word :/) and then I’ll go with my boyfriend’s family to their friends event. The weekend had a good start yesterday when I hung out with some friends at a shabby bar, and as it was Friday before pay check it was crowded (as people don’t afford to go to fancy bars or clubs). First and last time I queued for that bar. However, the place is not what’s most important, it’s the company! I hadn’t seen them for a long time so it’s always nice to catch up!

Have a nice Saturday people have to jump into the shower so I don’t get late for my date with my friend.

P.S Did you notice that it was the 20th birthday of the Children’s Convention yesterday? 20 years has passed and still US and Somalia still hasn’t ratified it and Sweden breaks seven of the ~20 terms. Apparentley all children here are not equal. I really hope that Sweden improves, otherwise I would be ashamed.

Monday and start of a new week, mine could have started a lot better than it did. I overslept which meant that I had to hurry in order to come in time for work. Oh, I really hate being late. If you’re not familiar with the November weather of Stockholm, then  perhaps you would be surprised about how grey and dull everything seem to be. Today’s weather consisted of rain, greyness and coldness. No wonder why so many Swedes are depressed during this time of year…

I guess I’m not the only one that begins to plan my weekend on a Monday, hehe. I had a good one even though I didn’t do that much. I went to Eskilstuna (about an hour from Stockholm) with Amnesty for work at Friday so when I came home I only desired for a sofa night! The rest of the weekend was not filled up with tons of plans either, went to IKEA, met my best friend and I also went to the Modern Museum to see the Dalí Dalí demonstration.

So, Monday – back to business and start of a working week. But, the next destination for me tonight would be the bed!

I went home from work yesterday as I didn’t feel alright, felt like I had a fever and that my body was too heavy to move. I’m better today and though I didn’t have a fever I decided that it was better to stay at home. So now I’m thinking about why there aren’t any better shows broadcasting during daytime. Not that the parliament debates are that boring to watch.

When you’re home from work, is it meant that you should relax and in other words not lift a finger, or should you use the free time and do things that you never seem to have time for? As I’m not deadly ill I should be able to search for a new job (it’s only a seasonal work), email UCAS about uni and read, read, read (there’s so many books that I haven’t read yet). Though perhaps I’m too lazy to do all these things, I might email UCAS and apply for a job, ’cause that’s the most important, right?  I’m not used to have so much time over really, always have something to do that occupies my time. Though, now I feel that I really need to rest and not think of everything I need to do. I’ll do it later, like tonight!

Oops. More than a month has passed since I gave an update about my life! Shame on me. But, everything’s fine with me and the job is good most of the time. Except from the cold, I’m sure it’s hard for you to understand how it is to work outside when it’s freezing cold – meanwhile as people are not the kindest as they could be all the time.

Further on, I’ll try to update more and post more pictures haha.

Today when I worked outside the Stockholm School of Economics, where my boyfriend attends year 2, I forced him to go and take down a White Lies poster for me! British WL is one of my favourite music band and I’ve seen them twice, once at Hultsfred festival but also when they were the supporting act for Coldplay in Stockholm this year. And I’ll see them once again this week when they’re coming to Stockholm. They play at Berns this coming Wednesday and there could be tickets left. If you are fond of bands like Joy Division or Glasvegas I’m sure that you would like WL too.

Well well, I do have to give up the computer to someone else now. Have a nice evening!
