Study
Woop
On Saturday I'm going down south to Skåne to see some family and friends. Can't wait for a change of environment. As for now, I fell asleep in my couch a while ago, only to wake up and realize I still had clothes in the dryer, yey. And then I felt like puking. Could have been due to my dinner experiment: baked trout with pesto and garlic. At least it tasted well...
Sooo... Gonna watch some Lost and try to fall alseep again, kinda have to get up early tomorrow.
Ciao.

Get it together
Tomorrow I'll get myself a membership at the student gym! Time to get rid of some fat, get some MUSCLES, and most of all get more healthy!
Iceland
Ok, so I found the perfect match. The possibly greatest place to go to for my exchange semester. Iceland! Yes, that's it! The university of Iceland has the best courses for my programme, so I am most pleased. I'll apply and hopefully I'll be accepted. A wee bit excited!

HPU
Funny thing. Last night made me kind of realize that I'm not ready to drop my plans on studying abroad my fourth semester, not at all! I've spent the day researching and came to these conclusions:
- Italy would be lovely, but doesn't have that many suitable universities
- San Fransisco would be cool, but nothing for me I assume
- Florida has been one of my top places, haven't really found any universities through Study Abroad yet though
- Hawaii seems to be the best university to go to. HPU (Hawaii Pacific University) has way more suitable courses than most universities, besides I keep coming back to wanting to go there. Maybe it's meant to be... Well I just made a list of courses that may be accepted by my uni to be counted to my bachelor. Tomorrow I'm going to find out, and if it all works out I might just apply to HPU!
Wish me luck and cross your fingers!

1.38 am. 20 November 2011
2,5 weeks then I'll be out of Sweden for a couple of days. Can't wait to meet old friends, speak English, walk down new streets and explore a different culture. Even though I haven't thought as much as I should have about studying abroad in 2013 I have yet to decide whether I should or should not. I probably won't as the last day of applying is 1 December. Should I? Shouldn't I? Can I afford it? My heart says I should take the opportunity and run off to Ireland or the States, but my brain makes me painfully aware of the loans that will be due in some years. Can I hold on to my final semester that I will be spending in India and perhaps some other country or even continent? Don't even ask me, hell if I know. Maybe I should just have another look at my options.

My hair is growing so fast! These pictures are taken two months apart:
...and now
Exam tomorrow
Tomorrow's my first exam. Quite exciting actually. So I'll be going to bed now, watch some documentaries and get a good nights sleep.

Guts
As much as I do love falling asleep in appropriate times, I'm not that keen to pass out before 7 pm, only to wake up again at 10 pm believeing it's morning. Looking out the window seeing it was dark was probably the biggest disappointment of the week. Bummer!
So now I'm bored and I can't sleep. I have a craving going on for ice-cream... Oh well. Some documentaries keep me company.
IN LOVE!
I am soooo in love with these. Unfortunatley they are only available in men's sizes, but when I go to Amsterdam I will try to find them in store. Hopefully a small pair could fit me. If so I'll order a pair from the US (cheaper). Whoooah, I have to have them!!

Tonight was supposed to be pub night with my student association. Instead I will hang out at the library and get a lot of work done until they close. Hell yeah.
Running solo
So I've been single for almost 2 years now. Crazy how time flies by, however I have no regrets about that. Being single has been the ultimate lifestyle for me during this time, as a boyfriend would have prevented me from living up to my dreams, such as moving 13 000 km's away from home. Realistic as I am, there is no way I would be in for the long distance thing, I just don't believe in that stuff.
However, single by choice or not I do believe that all of "us" have one of those days every now and then. You know the day? Well, it's the one you start off with ice cream and a cheesy American romantic comedy, pretending you have nothing else of more importance to get done.
I, for an example, could have done any of the following:
- studying for my upcoming exam
- clean the apartment
- go hang out with friends
- work out
Instead I chose to wear sweatpants, lie in my bed, eat junk food and watch several crappy girl movies that I usually don't even like. Terrible! I guess that only proves that I am a woman (since some people tend to doubt that).
Even though I am having one of those sad single days, I can't help but wonder why people (women in particular) are so crazy about finding "The One", getting married, having kids and living happily ever after? I just don't get it. Why is that the dream of most women all over the world? How could there not be anything else that is more tempting than committing yourself to taking care of other people for the next 20 years, at least? Well, maybe I'm lacking estrogen but that is not how I want to spend my life.
My life is going to be.... Extraordinary. Exceptional. Great. And it will be MINE! Regardless if I will be flying solo or not, it will be my life and what I shaped it into.
So yes, I will watch another chick flick where the skinny beautiful girl is being chased by that stunning man and in the end scene they will get married, as I will more or less throw up in my mouth. I will raise my eyebrow, call her a stupid whore for letting go of all her dreams just for "The One". But I will watch it. Today is my sad single day.
