Hörde jag skål?
Hejsan Tumblr world! It’s waaaaay too early but gosh I am sleeppy and I still have a lot of things to do :( (aka el estudio de español y sueco!) I was up last night catching up on certain tv shows… whoops! Shouldn’t have stayed up late. Regret in the morning - as always. Aaahhh have to do things in advance since I already have two books that need to be read ASAP and another...

Before class today Frida and I tagged along with Elin to get some photos they’ve developed. I love film photography. I think it’s so natural, so raw and real.
Elin and Nicole are going to use the photos for their thesis this year! Preeeetty cool. Reminds me of my days of sitting in with April and Analou at the Film Institute in UP.
The photo below was taken waaaay back...

Tonight I realized that I take a lot of things for granted. I love my Mac with all my heart but I usually just leave it lying about. And today I lost her. Seriously I know this sounds stupid and materialistic but you never actually realize or appreciate how much something’s worth until it’s gone.
I was going to watch the last episode of Sherlock but I couldn’t find all my...
På Lögnens Väg
So many reading left to reaaaad. I don’t even understand half of the things written since these articles were written in the like 1930’s - HELLO old Swedish. Also have to research on fake historical artifacts (?!?!?!!) so I better get on with it!

First Aid Kit
I got a text from Elin yesterday asking on whether or not I wanted to go with them to watch First Aid Kit and I think that the answer is preeeetty obvious!
I remember hearing and seeing the music video of You’re not coming home tonight from their first album and thinking wow I wish I could sing like that. They’ve recently released their sophomore album The Lion’s Roar and...

I know how naive and totally impractical it is to tell everyone to just embrace their bodies the way little kids do. I mean, are you really going to channel your 3-year-old cousin’s body confidence the next time you try on ill-fitting jeans or see any picture ever printed of Blake Lively? Probably not.
But if you’re still searching for a 2012 resolution (or you’ve burnt out on Master...

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
Woke up early morning and saw the tulips on the dining table! I love love love tulips. Especially when everything outside’s dead as a doornail. A bunch of them in different colors? Deeeelightful.
I’ve started working on my thesis about Alexander the Great. History has always been my favorite subject and I’m really glad I got History B this sem. I guess part of the reason...

What would you do if I sang out of tune?
I love waking up and seeing winter wonderland outside! I mean we haven’t had a week of just real fluffy pretttty snow this year and that’s quite sad.
I wore my favorite button-down yesterday! I got it from Ralph Lauren and although it was on sale it was still part of my splurge list during my trip to London - but I have to say it was sooooo worth it!

BACKLOG: Korean winter
One thing I hate about January is the fact that the holidays are over (meaning playing Christmas songs, eating gingerbread cookies, and drinking glögg? - now considered weird) and that it’ll remain cold for another three months. But on the bright side, the sun now rises a tad earlier and sets a bit later!

The Great Game
Holmes: Listen. This is my hard drive and it only makes sense to put things in there that are useful. Really useful. Ordinary people fill their heads with all kinds of rubbish. And that makes it hard to get at the stuff that matters. Do you see?
Downloading the second season now but this is by far the most amazing episode! Marga I owe you one ;)

Where's Waldo?
Was up at 4 am this morning trying desperately to remember what Ottoman Bismarck contributed to the world, why Hitler thought twice before attacking Great Britain, and what went down in Germany during the early morning hours of November 9-10.
HELLO STRESS! UGHHH SO TIRED. And it’s only the 2nd week after winter break. I’m already counting the days til sportlovet!

The Breakfast Diary: den 15:e januari 2012
☑ 1/2 bloody grapefruit ☑ 1 clementine ☑ 1 banana ☑ handful of nuts or seeds (walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds)
OKAY NOW. GAME FACE. THIS PAPER WILL BE DONE BY LUNCH TIME.

I told Frida that I wanted a break from studying so she proposed a walk. It was a lovely day and I didn’t mind going on a second walk - but this was no power walk. I suppose she had this secret agenda (of I don’t know… wanting to kill me?) haha I mean when we got back the sun had already set. But we felt so much better after so it’s aaall good!

God morgon!
Starting the weekend right: Home from an early morning power walk/jog! ☺ It was minus outside but the sun was shining so I decided to stop making excuses haha. It’s been a while since I’ve been out and about so it feels great starting my Saturday like this!
The Breakfast Diary: 1/2 apple, 1 banana, and 1 clementine (I skipped the Activia but I’ll probably eat it later :)
Well...
Not bad Friday the 13th, not bad at all!
Turn that frown upside down. Seriously, there are a million reasons to be happy! Why waste your time being miserable? This week has been a bit of a challenge and when a task comes your way, you better be ready to put your game face on ;)
It was such a lovely morning and the sun was shining! (HUGE DEAL because this rarely happens this time of the year and because we’ve had depressing...

Lunch with dad
The thing about panicking is that it never ever helps the situation. Just stay calm. Break the problem into several pieces, making them easier to solve. But whatever you do don’t panic. Nothing good ever comes out of it. And don’t worry about things you can’t control. Remember life is short, we shouldn’t spend our time worrying.

House of Bagels
Aaaand I’m back! Back to the other side of the world that is. I arrived at around ten in the evening and I took the usual train from Denmark to Sweden. My body clock is so messed up and I don’t know what to do because we have to be at the auditorium at 9 in the morning tomorrow.
But whatever I’ll figure a way to make it work haha. I had a lovely Monday morning with Frida,...

Packing.
It’s the worst part of the holidays. It’s plain depressing having to end something. I should be used to leaving. I should. But I guess I’ll never get used to leaving home. It should be easier by now. But it isn’t. I mean I’ll be back, but spending the night packing? It just gets me down.

Par Avion
If I could spend a day going shopping for anything? I’d spend the entiiiiire day shopping for school, art, and weird supplies ;) But seriously though when I was younger I really had this dream of owning my own National Bookstore (like at home where I could grab whatever I wanted like pens, post-its, notebooks - you name it!)
I got a couple of really adorable items during my recent trip to...

A Pescetarian dinner with the Owls
I started my 2012 with a delightful afternoon and evening with the Owls! Louie, Fara, and I met when Cue did Wicked when I was a sophomore in high school and boy does time fly by. It feels like I’ve known them forever and the best thing about hoot and hoot? They never make me feel excluded no matter how long we’ve been apart. #drama #cheese hahaha
Anyway we had dinner at Zao (because...

We’ve all had our share of ups and downs this year, but thing is for some reason I always remember the ups. What’s that saying? Always look at the bright side of life? Well I guess it’s a saying to live by.
Thank you to everyone for...

The Beach Club
The Beach Club looks so colorful! They’re making all the preparations for tonight’s New Year’s Eve countdown dinner.

You and I, Ingrid Michaelson
Focus your mind on the good versus the lack. Speak less. Listen more. Don’t settle for anything less than excellence. Say sorry when you know you should. Never miss a moment to celebrate another.
Resolutions? I tend to avoid them. Yup I’m an avoider. But for 2012 I want to stop being an avoider.
Last day of 2011 everyone so make it count ;) Time to...

The 30th of December
Got to meet up with some really good friends yesterday and it felt nice catching up with them. The last time I was home was during my summer break and that was what 5 months ago? A LOT happens during that span of time.
This year has been crazy and I don’t know, sometimes I think we all need a break from the real world. Spoiling myself tonight with pretty nails and...
Bag of Beans and a whole lot of traffic
Extreme headache and hunger #stress We’re on our way to Hamilo and the traffic is CRAZY. I mean seriously what is up? Sometimes I really miss the awesome feeling of just country driving back home in Sweden. Road trippin… I am totally buying my red hippie van once I get enough money!
