They Call Me Sweden

21 year old Swede living and studying (BA Journalism, Media and Sociology) in Cardiff, UK. Originally from Stockholm. Loves food, to travel and my dear friends.

Update from a rainy Cardiff

Imagine the relief I felt yesterday when I had submitted two of my essays. There was no anxiety over what grade I’ll get, just pure relief. Those were the heaviest course work, social theory and psychology and social behaviour… I have one more essay to write, but it isn’t due until next Friday which is almost like a lifetime for a student haha.

And guess what! I’m going back to Stockholm tomorrow. I have a job interview on Friday so I’m traveling back earlier than expected. Then I’ll stay there a month, then go back to Cardiff in June for a week for my exam. I’m looking forward to a Swedish summer, though I hope the weather will be better this year. I’m also trying to get my Cardiffian house mates to come and visit me. I’m so lucky to have such good friends in both Cardiff and in Stockholm. :-)

What else then? I have an interview for a position within the media in a couple of hours. I don’t want to jinx it so I’ll let you know the details later. Would be so fun if I get it though!
