Got a cold!

Kategori: In English

there was a woman who caughed at me in the metro this monday and by then i knew i would get sick as well.... And here I am! Having a cold, bounded in bed for the last days but now it time to get my ass out there again!
Right now I only have some problems with the throat but my friends is gonna take me to see a fashion show for the french brand Agnès B so there is nothing that can stop me from going there!
Apparently there will be free champagne ;)

Back in Sweden

Kategori: In English

So I'm back again in my parents place from an amazing visit in France. Meeting old amazing friends and finding amazing new ones. How can that kind of vacation not be totally awesome?! Three weeks away but it feels like it has only gone a few days. Time goes by fast when you're having fun!

I had my tickets so I should have gone home after 2 weeks but I just had too much fun and didn't find any good motivation to why I should have gone home already. too bad that you cant rebook your Ryanair tickets so I simply had to buy a new one! (but don't tell my mom that!) ;)

It was totally worth to get that one more week in Angers beacuse it meant that I got one whole weekend in Paris and another half weekend before going home. I also got one more week of applying for jobs which have payed off! I'm having one interview in Stockholm tomorrow and possibly another one next week! This can mean that this trip has given me so much more than pleasure, adventure and vacation...

It was a really long trip home again anyway and a pretty heavy one. It's hard to go home when you know that the only thing that awaits you is a mostly empty house and very few friends in the neighbourhood. But i know I couldn't stay since I was in the long run spending way too much money! 

I sooooo need a job now!! I know so many places where i could put my money, and I dont mean in the matress!! ;)

Here are the best pictures from the France trip. On wednesday I will try to create a facebook album, until then enjoy these!


The most famous sight of Angers, the castle




It was so hot when i arrived! Over 25 degrees


Cathedral


crazy parties


french wedding


HAHAHA!

Paris is calling

Kategori: In English

yes the famous rich bitch celebrity Paris Hilton called me today... or not!

Paris as the metropolitan fashion capital and one of the most beautiful city in the world is calling my name. Yes paris, im coming now, very very soon! More exactly see you in about 5 hours! Me and Mr Bo is taking the train from Angers very soon to a weekend of party, shopping and sightseeing. Cant wait!

So an update from Angers about the-adam-life.

- Still applying for jobs every day
- Still no good answer from any of those mentioned above

No good answers = motivation to find jobs very low = i wish that someone would give me one million euro so i don't have to look for any more jobs

On other matters, life is really good here. Im enjoying the time here a lot and meeting a lot of new and fun people! The weather has gone worse though but is still nicer than home in Sweden (what I have heard). Right now its raining, I love rain! And it will be nice to travel through France in this gloomy weather, watching a movie on the phone, eating some chips and then arrive in one of my favourite cities.

J'adore!


En France

Kategori: In English

OUI!! Now im finally here in France again. More specificly in Angers. A pretty unknown city for people not living in France famous for its castle and crazy university students... and now I'm in the middle of it!



Im here to visit friends and find a job. Not a job in france neccesarily but to look and apply for them online. I thought that the thing im doing at home all day I would just as easily be able to do anywhere in the world! So i booked my tickets with the last money from the summer job and here I am now! Date to go home is next saturday the second of october.

The best thing with being here is that i can come with my friends to the school, sit and work there very focused and get much more done than i got at home in sweden AND during the nights we can party a lot! ;)

Another good thing is the weather! This far it has been really good swedish SUMMER weather, totally awesome!





My aim with this trip is also to learn some french, I already have my french book! :)

Update and traveling

Kategori: In English

the good news is that it hasb't gone so much time since my last update (my summer break from the blog was longer!!). This time i havent written since 3 weeks and 4 days, not too bad i must say! even though.. yes.. i should feel a bit ashamed for letting all my readers down! ;)

Well im home in the countryside now and has been here since i came home from my amazing holiday on the continent. I prefer to call it the continent because its so different from Sweden.Its weird, just cross the the baltic sea and suddenly you enter Germany, Benelux and France and people are immediately more friendly, the architecture change and the air is different. and most of all..

I LOVE IT!

That is also probably why i had a little breakdown when i got back home to the countryside again and realized that now i will be sitting here in the middle of nowhere and wait until i find a job... and who knows how long that may take!?

Now i hav settled in my situation anyway and im trying to make the best of it and preparing myself for job interviews but how can i make myself more relaxed? Just the thought of going to an interview makes my heart beat to a pulse of 200! (not statistically proofed...)

A few days ago i understood that i cant sit and worry about everything, now is the time to work on the stuff i never have time for otherwise! Therefore i have been a lot in the gym, i have taken time to make my CV perfect, analyzing job channels and working on my skin colour ;)

Anyway my euro trip was amazing and I have a feeling that i might be coming back soon...


Fascinating buildings



And best of friends!!


 

Summer is over?

Kategori: In English

Its common known in Sweden that the summer months are June, July and August. The sun i shining all day and late late into the night.

Except in the north where the sun is shining all the time during the summer... Which can sound like a really cool thing (which it is..) but I do feel a little bit sorry for them. I was in the very north of Sweden a few years ago for my cousins wedding. I woke up in the middle of the early morning (I thougth) and thought it was like 6 in the morning because it was really really bright outside. OH NO, it was almost 3.00 in the night! And it was shining like during the day! Madness... I need darkness to sleep!

Anyhow, even though the calendar says it's still summer it feels like the fall is just around the corner. Its getting shorter days, colder days and i I think the plants are going towards a more yellow colour!

Feels like this summer was way too short, i didnt have any time to lay in the sun :(

Hope its warmer on the continent...
God! I would like to make an order.. Give me sunshine for vacation please!



The sea like a painting, there has been some nice summer days after all :)

New favourite song

Kategori: In English

This is a song thats going on repeat on my spotify. It was Lina who gave it to me when i was totally dead hangover from my big party. Well what weird was that i woke up perfectly fine and happy (except that i didnt remember how i got to bed! its amazing that i never learn...) and a few hours later comes the total hangover with everything that normally comes with it!

anyway if you listen to the lyrics of this song there is a sentence in the beginning.

"Better to be hated than loved for what you're not"

True isnt it? Its never possible to be someone who you aren't and its impossible to keep a lie forever, evetually the truth will come out and all the pain with its revelation. Stay true and be happy with who you are!



This song is just a remix but the original song is almost just as good, and it comes with a cool video ;)


Having the day off!

Kategori: In English

yaaaaaayyyyyy, FINALLY FREEDOM! (only two days though, lol)


woke up at nine thinking; No work today!


the sun was shining.

strawberries from the garden.

pancakes from the fridge.

Me and the sun, i love summer



Dear blog

Kategori: In English

Damn its been too long since i wrote something here... But do not dispare! I promisei willwrite plenty of inserts on wednesday.

The only reason that I havent written any here because im working like a slave donkey in the alps on an oktoberfest day! (not very nice as you can understand)

Im now working on my 9:th 7-hour day in a row. Its hard work and probably totally illegal but i have on the other hand chosen it myself. If I work a lot now i will earn a lot of money in July AND have a total 10 days free when Mr Bo comes to Sweden! Im sure its well worth it.

The worst thing with working so many days as now is not the exhaustion, its the fact that its hot Hot HOT here in sweden now! I dont remember when it was this hot last time... I will instead be sitting inside smiling towards lost tourists. Not too bad though, the americans are the nicest ones to talk to, they are so greatful about anything i tell them! So nice :) 

Now its time to go and have my evening shift... Do i have to say that its 28 degress outside now? *sigh*


The song i will be singing in my head all day:

Travel plans

Kategori: In English

I already have stockholm and gothenburg booked in my travel calendar for this summer... But that cant be enough, right?!

That is why im right now is trying to make a master plan a lá the continent which includes Brussels and Berlin!!

I think i have born skill for planning stuff.. or i have just been searching for cheap tickets and finding ways to travel cheap way too many times... either way im now an expert and i think i've found a way to go from home-brussels-berlin-home for only 1300 SEK. 

Sometimes i just get so tired of myself since i can be sitting in front of the computer for hours and hours and constantly be thinking, on the next site, next day, another airport... it will be cheaper!
Annoying

Time will show if i can make it happen!! :)

Brussels





Berlin






Two cities every european has to go to and i think they are two cities perfect for my liking!

aaaand... they both said yes!

Kategori: In English

The TV was on in the Nors' house the whooooole day yesterday! From 8 in the morning with the very first preparation of the wedding until late night around 01.00 when the bride couple had their first dance together.

it was a day when the loved princess found her own love.
TV history was made, never has a royal wedding anywhere been so intimatley broadcasted and this is also why everyone in the country is so moved after this event because the royal family has never really showed so much emotion in public.
500 000 people were gathered outside thepalace when the married came to greet the people.
Half a billion people all over the world saw the wedding!

It was really great to see so much emotion from the royal family and the new prince held a wonderful speach about the crownprincess where he said that once they knew that they were going to be separated from eachother for one month. The crown princess then sat up all night and wrote 30 letters to Daniel, one for each day they would be separated!

Now isnt that cute!!!

What people dont know is that in the moment Daniel said "I do" in the church, he lost all his citizen rights. He can no longer vote or have an own public opinion, that's quite a change!

Im sure they will be happy together anyway :)


And they lived happily forever after!

The crown princess wedding!

Kategori: In English

Today is the big day that the swedish people has been waiting for! The crown princess is finally getting married!

All the worlds royalties has gathered in Stockholm to celebrate and meet over fancy dinners and concerts.

TV is covering everything and its the only thing that they are talking about. There are discussion everywhere about the monarchy and if it should remain or not. I really admire the royal family for the work they are doing with promoting Sweden and i would never want Sweden to be a republic. I think Sweden would loose a big part of its originality in the world and it provides a stability to the political system.

Enough with that statement... !

What is sure that there was not a dry eye in Sweden yesterday when the showed the wedding concert on TV. It was a great program with a lot of romantic music. In the end a children choir came in and sang a beautiful love song in swedish to the bride and groom and then even the king and queen cried (something that has never been shown on TV!).

It feels so good in every Swede that the crown princess Victoria has found someone to love. and it really shows that they are in love! The royal family are so public persons and that is probably why it feels exeptionally good to see them so purely happy. The royal family is like a second family member since everyone has known about them since forever.

Tears of joy will be delivered here around 15.30 when the wedding ceremony starts.

Love is in the air

Long live the love!
(and the monarchy) ;)


Crown princess and her prince to be, Daniel

Absolutely fabulous

Kategori: In English

I love british comedy series and absolutely fabulous is the best one ever! If you have never heard of it, its about Eddie, a totally stupid over weighted fashion editior (that never actually work), her constantly drinking friend Patty. Eddie's daughter and mother are playing the only smart people in the series.

What i love with british humour is that it is sooo evil and sarcastic!! Not like american comedies, it feels like they are more about laughing about geeks and retards (sorry fellow americans!) :P


Dont blame the clothes, blame the wardrobe

Kategori: In English

So now I have fully moved into my house outside Eksjö. Its actually really nice to be home with the parents, they are not too demanding and we are mostly having just fun all the time. The buy me food and pay my travel expenses, isnt it great!

The problem is though all my clothes... This constant problem! On one hand they are always too few but on the other hand they are just too many!

My mom counted that i have over 20 pair of jeans... I didnt listen

Its pretty sick on one hand to have so many clothes and i guess i should throw some...

But its like this (the logic of clothes-keeping philosophy):

- I bought all clothes for a reason
- If i dont use the clothes it means that i had a bad reason to buy them
- I'm not an unreasonable person!
- I have to keep the clothes

Instead of pulling my nerves together and throw out the stuff i took my brothers drawer and now it feels like im living in a castle.


Not too bad of a solution eeh?



The royal sleeping place

first day at work!

Kategori: In English

yesterday was my first day at work at the tourist office. I must admit that i was a bit nervous because i knew that i would be all alone and i guess a lot of things happened in the municipality the last year and then i would have no other staff to ask for advice!

On the other hand, I am the tourist office expert... I own that place! ;)

Well the day went by really really slow. They have a new booking system for the youth hostel so i sat most of the day trying to understand it and what they had done wrong with it, because something didnt work out!

After doing almost nothing the whole day (maybe i had 7 tourists in 4 hours that only asked for a map or the toilet) i gave up and started doing even more useless stuff...


Here's a goodie for all the swedish people


LOL!

Graduation

Kategori: In English

My little little little brother has grown up and graduated last saturday! The graduation from high school is a very big swedish tradition and looks almost the same anywhere you go in sweden. It doesnt have so much sense to celebrate it anymore really since everyone goes to high school nowadays. A few decades ago it was a bigger thing to celebrate since not so many studied for that many years.

The white hat is the student hat that everyone graduated from high school has to buy. Girls dress in white and guys in suit. At a certain time the teacher or principal of the school opens the front door of the school and officially declare that there is no more school for the students so then everyone starts running out, shouting and singing their joy out to the many relatives waiting outside.




The brothers :)


After shouting and getting presents from the relatives and family (all the stuff hanging around the neck) the students get up on trucks, decorated with the each class members' names and other fun sentences.These trucks drive around town for a while, shouting or playing really loud music, drinking and everyone is taking photos.



I still remember (some parts anyway, hehe) my graduation, best time ever!! I had tears of joy that day, amazing... :)

After all the driving around town, we took my brother home to meet the rest of the whole family. So many people that day but it was really fun! I talked and talked and some cousins even found my thesis interesting enough to read! Very good day indeed :) The weather was also exceptional and after a long long day and too much eating i went to bed totally exhausted.

I guess next time we will have this much party at home again will be next year when my mom has her 50 years birthday... No more graduations in this family anyway! ;)

Lady Gaga (again)

Kategori: In English

Yes, this lady just keep on impressing me with her incredible videos!
Its not a new song, just a new video...

There is always so many random stuff going on in Lady Gaga's videos, that is also why they are so fascinating to watch. This time you check out the guys in the beds (they are wearing high heels) and her special "bra" in the end (its machine guns)

I have to warn sensitive readers before looking at this video. No nudity or violence though, just amazingly weird stuff going on... ;)


This woman has one crazy mind...

Home!

Kategori: In English

I've been home now for just over 24 hours and actually... I LOVE IT!

The whole family has been really busy with my little brother's graduation party tomorrow. Like all the relatives are coming! I think we will be around 40- 50 people. Its gonna be fun to meet everyone again. I think my relatives are all very cool and i can talk to everyone easily. We may not have the closest contact with all of them, it would on the other hand be impossible... I mean imagine taking care of all ones friends and aquantancies and at the same time having all the relatives to check up with... No relatives are great to have because they will always be there. Blood is thicker than water after all! ;)

I have been working with cleaning the house all day (especially my room). My room was such a big mess, clothes everywhere from my wardrobre here and from the little suit case i brought with me from my closet in Gothenburg. I have noooo idea how i will fit everything into my closet and drawer i have here in my room... I guess i have to do the unsoeakable again... THROW CLOTHES!

How much it may hurt in my heart, i guess it will be neccessary... ;(

Even though i have been inside most of the day, the weather has been really hot and sooo beautiful! The best thing with the graduation party is that the whole family is working to get the house perfectly clean and the garden looks amazing!

Summer is probably the best in Sweden... It's still sunny outside and its almost 22.00 now.

Here is some pictures from tonight. We sat outside in the sun, had some wine and take away to celebrate my new master degree :)



Here are some pictures taken just now!








This is a milestone

Kategori: In English

And so I am done with school... forever!

I reflected over my four years in university (Yes, its four full years!!). I cant believe time has gone by so fast!

The pages I have read.
The stress that sometimes has been so intense that I have broken into tears.
The joy of actually learning interesting stuff.
The infinite hours in classes being bored as hell.
So many uncountable people I have met.
Tears from laughs.
Amazing parties.
Learnings for life.
Great memories.

Best friends



So many many hours of student living has come to an end and I guess I still can't believe it...


With this insert I guess I only want to say: CONGRATULATIONS to Me and Bob for finishing these many years together!


Four Freakin' Fabulous years!! :D

Love!
