I spent most of my day reading in bed. Also prepared lunches for this week, but now I'm out of food so I need to go to the store tomorrow. Tonight Josh and I watched The Prestige, which I now wanna watch again. I'm almost falling asleep... so I should say good night. I'm both dreading and looking forward to this coming week. So much going on right now, both good and bad!

Time to fall alseep to another episode of Cougar Town...

where to start? i guess where i last took off. we spent our friday evening at backstage where we had the usual taco buffee. it was not that good this time. i'm not sure if it was the food or the fact that my cold practically eliminates flavour whatsoever. the gang continued on home to annica who had her friend anette here. i left to go home to have a nice and calm friday night. it's been a long week and i'm exhausted. i managed to catch up on some reading, and thereafter i watched surf's up. exhausted or not, i just couldn't fall asleep. too much coffee, loud neighbors, a high fever, not being able to breath properly, people sneaking around by backyard looking in to my window all made it impossible to fall asleep. last time i looked at the time it was aorung 3:30am but shortly thereafter i finally fell asleep.

today martin, josh and i had planned a little shopping trip to gothenburg. it turned out to be a beautiful sunny spring day. martin did most of the shopping, i did some and josh none. we ate lunch at a greek restaurant. all in all, i had a great day.

after i came home, i had just taken a shower when my darling teresa calls me on my cell from germany. i called her back on skype. nothing bad about skype, technology is fantastic. but when someone is in a desperate need of a hug, watching them on a video screen is very frustrating. t - you know i love you and i am always here for you!

our party night was good! we celebrated the return of the annica. she had foot surgery a few weeks ago, so there has a serious lack of dancing (and alcohol?). tonight however - the annica we all know was back indeed! tihi.

now i am in bed. after taking matin to the town square for hot dogs and hamburgers. after walking home in the cold night giggeling about my lovely lovely matin. after losing my voice. after having mathias here checking on me. even though i had a couple of drinks tonight i feel sober as a judge. i'm sipping some herbal tea with milk and honey for my voice. i'm afraid i will be really sick tomorrow but i hope that's not the case.

no matter how fun tonight was. i'm starting to feel tired of the "student life". i'm tired of school. i'm tired of eating lunch out of a box. i'm a bit tired of never having enough money. i'm tired of eating my dinner alone. i'm tired of mostly hanging out with my friends in school or when there is alcohol involved. i'm tired of being away from my loved ones in norrköping & bethlehem.

a change of environment will be great. right now i am looking forward to: family dinners, drive-way basketball with katie & patch, long walks around lehigh with my furry friend jedd, watching the kids play sports, blabbling with katie kate, hanging at barnes & noble, quick fit with pat, corn on the cob, long days at the pool, itching patrick's back, teasing big george about his existence... which there will be plenty of this summer :)

with that said i would like to point out the one thing i will never get tired of: my wonderful friends in trollhättan. i love you all so much.

nighty night
(and T?, don't forget to turn out the light...)

and then you figure out a way to turn things around. i just had the best talk with sonja over skype!!! i cannot believe it's been almost two years since we last saw each other. scandalous! but we're just busy you know. thank you for making my day so much better. i miss you darling

tycker det är mycket intressant hur askmolnet gör oss lamslagna!

Laying on Annica's couch... we just enjoyed some of Annica's famous oatmeal (sorry for forgetting the butter anniCa). Having a really good night...Joshua and Matina was here for a bit too and we watched stupid youtube clips laughing our heads of. Not literally.

I'm freaking out about leaving Trollhättan, as I always do when something good is about to come to an end. Maureen knows what I'm talking about. About 8 weeks before I was moving back to Sweden I started cleaning, organizing, throwing away things in my room (i.e running around like a crazy person). She compared me with a 8 months pregnant women doing her nesting. I'm the exact opposite. I'm un-nesting myself from things. Current sympthoms I have noticed: 

• I make at least one round to the recycling place everyday. (Okay, I admitt, I never ever went to get rid of any magazines, newspapers and stuff like that during my time in Krebo) So I guess it's about time.
• I'm systematically going through my closet. Today I got rid of two pairs of jeans. (Erika does not throw away clothes)

Warning, sympthoms may also include being a total bitch and crying at unconvenient times.

By the way. Matina has this week appeared on two of the biggest Swedish blogs. She is practically a Hollywood celebrity already! Check out her blog at www.minnies.se :)

my princess!









So yesterday was dinner at my dad's and today we had an Easter lunch with the cousins. I also got to see Mia, one of my oldest friends, and play with her handsome litte one, Elias. In the afternoon Sussi, Mamma, Jossan and I walked mormor home. 

Later on Markus and I drove over to "Världens Bar" where we sat down for some beer and coffee(in my case). Always good to catch up with a good friend. After dropping him off at the train station for his second date of the evening (and no, I didn't mind - I know I'll always be his gal ;)) I headed home. I love driving at night.

sleep tight and don't forget to turn off the light!

grocery shopping with pappa & tilde was on the schedule this afternoon. it must be really confusing having a scary lady for a sister, especially one that only turns up every other month or so. i did however manage to make her smile after a while. after grocery shopping we went back home, had lunch and then blueberry pie for desert. need i say desert was more popular than pyttipanna? i borrowed farfar's old car until tomorrow so i got home super fast. i miss driving. the sun is about to set and i am going for a run.

• i am in a good mood
• my hair is curly
• i am wearing a blue shirt that belongs to my sister (wohoo love that we can borrow each other's clothes nowadays)
• i have found 2 of the 4 articles i need for my public policy analysis
• i am waiting for my dad to pick me up so ia can spend some time with my little angel tilde
• the sun just came out!
• i am going to wear my new shoes today!!!

just came across an exciting opportunity that i will have to take in consideration when planning the fall semester... a back-up plan never hurt anyone, right!? :)

mamma woke me up today, with breakfast on the table!  i just gave up my second attempt to limit my coffee consumption. i made it through friday, saturday and sunday last week without a sip of coffee. this time i only made it through yesterday. tea just won't do. so i give up. i love coffee too much.

norrköping is rainy at the moment. but as i have a policy analysis to write during the weekend, rain is ok with me. i just got off the phone with mathias and should go back to writing!

josefine will probably murder me for this
but i can't help myself. (because it explains why it's so good to be home. i am with people of my own kind)
