Beware

The pro-Swedes are coming to get YOU.

Tickets booked to go spread love and chaos in Manchester town mid-June.
Very nice indeed, got cheap tickets and it is lovely to have some trip or other to look forward to when summer comes. Especially since money is always low in summer, it's even nicer to have paid for the tickets already! Perfect plan.
Thursday evening 10pm leaving Gbg city airport, going back home Wednesday morning (well early, but I'll live) 7am.
Next mission is to find out coaches to Manchester from London.

I'm busy having fun these days, not so much time for blogging. But a little is promised, as always.
If not so for my English to improve before going to the UK!

I'm mad, pissed off, infuriated and plain upset.
Found out today that because of cut downs in the public health care in this godforsaken country, someone close to me is having a burn-out. As in sick leave full time for 2 months. Which is quite long, and as I hadn't realised: pretty damn serious.
Now how did this happen, my mind goes?
These days the politics goes: "money money, more for the richer, privatise everything possible" and all of a sudden we're sat here with health care that doesn't stand tall to half of Europe's, where less and less money is put into making this better.
Shame this woman is a caring person who acutally enjoys her job and wants to work in health care.

Since half of my social circle votes right wing, I want to erase their phone no's, never speak to them again or even punch them in the face for being so ignorant to think it's OK or at all human to prioritise money and wealth before people and health. Catchy.
How did I make friends which such fools, I wonder?

I'm right. They're wrong.
And above all I'm worried sick.

Grow up, people!

let's go stealing cars

Trying desperately to get motivated enough to read this thick bloody book I need to read for the final written exam in this course on Wednesday. Since I'll be gone visiting a birthday girl Saturday to Sunday, I won't be getting much done those days, so I really need to finish this! Not happening, in spite of chocolate and numerous coffees. Keep falling asleep or remember something VERY important I "need" to check online. Could be blogs, could be facebook profiles, could be things to buy on ebay...
Useful.

Useless.

But I made my first own pie today, with peppers and broccoli, very good indeed. Even made the pie crust from scratch.
Who wouldn't marry me?

Annie for life

Other things meant to last a life time:

- parents
- siblings
- best friends
- one true loves
- teddy bears
- bamboo trees
- pianos
- smells
- gardens
- forests
- oceans
- humour
- football teams
- music
- dreams
- books

Trying to keep positive today. This list makes me happy. Lots of things I shouldn't be able to loose, unless I try very very hard (like burn up all forests in the world, or drink all of the ocean).

Bad day, didn't get the job I wanted. Also half the group I'm working with are being careless about the PM we've handed in for gradings today, and I'm not pleased with the result. I mean, it's not bad or I wouldn't have handed it in at all, but it's not as good as it could've been and more than our half of it is done by me and another girl. Unfair, but our own fault also.
Learning to work in groups is hard. But fun.

fancy a beer?

It's 10.42 am and I'm longing for an ice cold beer.
Not a good thing, since I:
1- got no money,
2- got school all day,
3 - need to work in the evening,
4- still has tummy aches every now and then so chances are beer won't help.

Atleast I've cleaned my flat so I can have people around today and tomorrow as the plan goes. Today: class mates for studying. Tomorrow Linnea with kid Anthony for dinner and socializing.

Breakfast: fruit salad and ginger tea
Music: Iggy Pop - the passenger
Book: 1900talet (translates: 20th century), by Svante Nordin. Yes, still.
Thoughts: beer

university

I'm all excited about life right now. It passes by so fast and I'm having so much fun at the moment!
Uni is great, I'm making friends left and right at the same time as I'm loving my flat and this big city life.
In 5 days they open the online application for uni programs starting this autumn. I've found a program I think I want to apply for, it's a candidate (word?) in Global Studies, a three-year-program. Since it's global and all, I'm  thinking a year or maybe even two abroad which would do magic for my economy in comparison to moving abroad to pay for studying all my myself.
So there's a plan.
Now I've been worried about not getting in, since it's a very popular program where high grades are needed, especially with everyone studying now instead of work since there are no jobs and that. Blahblah.
Today I checked the scores for getting in last year, same term. 18.5 in high school grades, out of 20 possible. Mine are 16.49. Too low, crap.
Then the last third they take in, they do regarding to their "uni-preparing-test" or whatever this could be called. A test built on hard questions in 4 areas, it's on a short time limit and you do this all day. 2.0 is the best score you can get, which is very rare to do. On my first test I got 1.5, average is 0.9. Very good indeed! And since I juuuuust found out the limit last year was 1.4, I'm thinking this could be it! I might even get in on the first try!

Fingers crossed.

Also fingers crossed for the people I had the job interview with yesterday to chose me. I mean, they better - I'm the best they could get.
But still. People make mistakes. Let's hope they don't.
12 out of 1000 people applying got the interview though, I'm pretty OK with being one of them also.

Life is good. I am good.
As the kid I'm nannying said in a "let's name all super heroes we can think of"-conversation: "you forgot one. The worlds best Annie!"

the game is ON

I've now officially passed my first exam at uni. 5 points out of 7 according to the Bologna system. (not passed: 1-2 points, passed: 3-5 points, very well passed: 6-7 points). Very pleased with myself. If I now do better on the next two parts (one hand in group project, plus one more exam) I'll get top grades on this part of the course! Let's do it, game on.

Tomorrow is a big day also. 3.30 pm I've got a job interview for a job at Liseberg, a big funfair (Northern Europe's biggest). I've applied to work in the two photo shops where people can come in and have their photos taken in outfits or just to print on a mug or tshirt, etc.
Haven't picked out The Outfit yet, but I'll have to figure this out soon. What are you supposed to wear? I mean, I will be going there straight from school (9am - 2pm), and I don't normally wear suit jackets and stuff. Aaaah big issue here I come.

Busy bee working on our group project for the rest of the evening? Yes sir.
