Fell in love with a pair at SkoPunkten :)

Swine Flu Vaccination

I took the vaccination yesterday.  I've gotten really good at handling needles.  I'm totally fine with shots now I'm pretty sure.

So thats good.  Except now I'm kind of scared of getting sick.  People say that it's just for like a day or two but others say like a week and I have way too much skit to do right now.

I've turned in my TOK essay first draft.  And working on Business IA now.  Not tooo much left.

Sigh.
I've been listening to She Wolf (the album) by Shakira on Spotify.  This is an amazing album actually.  Definitely worth buying.  I think I am while I'm home for Christmas.  Its half price because of the dollar value :P  So about 70:- vs. the 150:- or so in Sweden.  And I dont have the money to pay that much.

But I'd give it like 8.5 of 10 stars :)

Hungry

Done with my Vive Voce now :)
And hungry.
Luckily school ends 11.30 today.
Food soooon.
Hurry history!
Then its Swine Flu Vaccinations
And plugga.


I'm seriously considering this.

Rare Eminem/Proof Freestyle = Heartbreaking

R.I.P Proof :(

Roomies :)

Randomly felt an urge to mess with her hair today.

So we did.

Visst är hon sööt? :D

I've been to my uncles house today for his sambo's birthday.  It was amazing actually.
Riktiga MLIA ögonblickar.  :P
Typ när alla vid matbordet började sjunga låten från Dallas tv-serien.  Kung.
Det var helt spontant och jag gillade det.
Och sen träffade jag Julia's pappa.  Han påminde mig lite om min pappa fast helt annorlunda.  Fast ganska lika.  Typ när de skojade med varandra.  Jag saknar min pappa :/

2 WEEKS.  15 dagar tills jag är i stockholm.  17 tills jag är i Dallas. Shit vad coolt :D

I've Gone For The Day To The Trolley Wood

It's been a really great 2 days actually. Även om idag var inte så jävligt bra, jag fick prata med en gammal kompis som jag inte har pratat med för skitlänge.

Igår började med den vanliga på skolan.  Business och Swedish.  Men sen åt jag lunch och gick till stan att köpa the goods så jag fick förbereda kalkonen.  While I was preparing it I had my dad's music on and it really felt like home.  It was great :) Sen gick jag till stan och träffade Lina och vi åkte buss med Hanna L till Säääävaar :D

Vi satt kalkonen in i ugnen och sen bara typ softade.  Drack julmust och åt pepparkakor, startade filmen Drömflickor :P Inte min favorit film, men det går att se den.

Jennie, Hanna G, och Dea kom lite senare eftersom dom behövde vara med på engelska lektionen.

The rest I will leave to pictures :)

Haha Lina taught me how to make the flowers out of servetter.  Mine was on the left...

But eventually i got the hang of it, and this is how they looked.  It was actually super simple.

Söt :P

Lina är jätteduktig att spela pianon :)

Working hard?

Or hardly working?

Fan vad gott!

Saying grace?

Haha he looked so round here. Watching Lina intently

The final meal

Skål

Interesting tool choice ;)

Yooommy :D

And that pretty much sums up Thanksgiving 2009 :)

Obsessed.

oh, what will the next days bring?

someone needs to stop this insanity!

Over and done with

Nu är jag klar med TOK-presentationen. Så sköööönt!
Älskar att vara klar med saker...

Maybe not the most interesting or exciting presentation
but i had to make it ToK-ish for a good grade. and i thought it was interesting...which is why i ended up talking for waaay too long and trying to go faster :)

Anyways.  Now it's only the first draft of the TOK essay and Business and History IA :)
And that task for TOK the last week. haha. i get to go to the Picture Museum (?? asså, bildmuseum) and do an assignment or something.  but it feels great that i'll be okay the week before school actually ends.

and Pelle has said that I'm in a really good place in math so i could pretty much "do nothing until after christmas and still be okay"


Ahhhh, school is coming together now :D
Graduation is right around the corner and I have no doubt that I'll pass now.
Things are looking up again.

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine
you make me happy
when skies are grey


Done eating now.
Mac and cheese was delicious! Haha i dont think dea liked it very much
but i love it.  its such a childhood meal.  it was a bit different from the normal Kraft version (it was organic something brand from lee) but it was still great.

I'm hoping there are more days with sunshine.

Mac N' Cheese

there was sun today.

Went to the library today to plugga a bit.

Worked on my business pretty well.

And now ive officially started my essay on repetition in Waiting for Godot.

its going pretty well, i think.

Makin mac and cheese now :D

(the cheese "sauce")

haha we're eating it with chili con carne.

weird mix but theyre not "together"

its just not enough with one thing.

or?

December 11th, 13th

December 11th I leave Umeå for a month.
I love my godmother.  She's sponsoring my trip to stockholm and back by plane :D amazing! she said she couldnt have me on a bus for 10 hours; It was unacceptable :P

So the 11th I leave Umeå.
The 13th I leave Sweden.
I arrive in Dallas Sunday night their time :)
Oh my, I'm so happy.

I'll be back the 12th of january (in sweden).
I'll be at school (hopefully) the 13th.  I can't really afford to miss that many more.
And I'll have my math, business, enviro, and history things with me.

Hopefully i can drive.
Or at least get my permit so I can be on the street legally.

And I'll get to meet so many people.
Aivy's having a christmas party apparently.  Fun stuff.  Then I really can see people.


Note: Do not mention anything on Facebook. We are surprising my brother and he does have a Facebook account and I am friends with him.  So...yeah. Its on the down low.

Hmm. Now to work on my business internal, english essay, tok presentation, tok essay, math stuff, and history internal.  Looks like im spending my weekend at the library, catching up and making up for the week of school that i'll miss.

I'm kind of hungry.
It's jell-o time!

Steka Steka

Håller på att laga middag nu.
Hamburgare med pommes frites.  Shit, vad gott!

If you want to destroy my sweater

Hold this thread while I walk away
Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked

Lying on the floor, lying on the floor

I've come undone

I love how when Lee came, we spent like 2 hours

just sitting on my bed listening to music from ages ago

and showing each other new music.

We both listen to the same music so we were just belting out lyrics

from aaages ago.

I mean, we sang Jimmy Eat World, Weezer, Eminem, haha, Marilyn Manson, etc.

Good times.

I love singing really good rock songs with people.

It brings people together :P

The ambassador thing went okay.

Ahah Jennie.  You know why i'm laughing :P

Mmm ;)

As I have made fairly clear, I've become obsessed with Glee.
My favorite character, I'm pretty sure, is Puck.
He's an asshole, but he's hot and every episode shows a new side of him.
Yes yes, I'm a geek.  But if you even remotely like musicals, then I assure you that you will get attached as well.

What's so cool about Puck (not necessarily the coolest thing though)
is that he was born and raised in Dallas. So it was pretty much a shout out to my hometown :)

And he's a musician. A damn good one as well.
I have a thing for (good) musicians...

Enviro: Doing it right.

Actually, I've discovered that if you really listen during class
You can either learn new things
Or using her information, figure it out on your own.

I need to pass with flying colors.
I need to find a way out of spending my life in debt.
:/

This pedestrian knows better than to even try

Lee was here this weekend.  It was fun.
On thursday we went to Emmas pv's hockey game (Chiefs vs. Teg?) and just generally chilled.  Caught up.
Friday she came to school.  It was the whole "different style day" thing going on. haha and kristina. oh dear, kristina.

she was a gangsta.

Eastside! :P

Later that night we went and played laser tag with Jennie and a bunch of her friends.  my team totally won even though there were a lot of screw ups with the score.  I still like to think we won anyways :)

Saturday we pretty much chilled, went into town. We went to the apple store and played with spotify and then went and got lee her first french hot dog :D

And then we had a bit of a filmkväll with The Break-Up and Saved :)

 

And Jennie, on the high hat, pss-ts pss-ts :P

and Hanna on the kick drum, cum cum.

Then we took Lee to the flygbuss :)

That was our weekend in Umeå.

And now I've just spoken to my parents and there is a good possibility that I may come home for the big Xmas :D  That would truly make my year if i did.  I mean, sure, I'd have to miss the white christmas and possibly a killer new years party, but I mean...There will be time for all of that later.

Will be spending the first week we're off in Stockholm with Lee, goign to her student skiva and studenten thing and then itll be back to Umeå and then my own studenten.  and my sister will be here.  and everything will just be okay, it feels like.  Life feels like its going to be okay right now.

Things are looking up.

This is how we do

 

 

Vad konstiga vi är...

But we have a lot of fun.

These were done after trying to decide how Thervethuth should cut her hair.

And then it became this.

It's a Conglomeration Club :)

We are held together by our afros..

<3

I'm not sure how much more i want to say.

Recently

IB Halloween Party

First snow(s)

It was actually like the 2nd or 3rd, but it was more this time.

I'm surprised at how much i blog.  Its addicting in a way.

I guess that would be why Facebook and Twitter are so big.

People like to talk about themselves.  Well not in a bad way.

More like, people like to share what theyre experiencing and sometimes the only way to do that is to talk about themselves.

I've been feeling bitchy recently.

Not to other people, just...angry sometimes.

Not sure whats happening.

I think I need a sunny day.  Just one.

I've asked my dad to go home for christmas.  As much as i'd love to be here for break...

It feels like everyone will have their own thing to do

And I dont want to hang around doing nothing the entire time.

And I dont want to spend my christmas break studying.

Christmas is such a family time.  And my entire family, my nukes anyways, all live in Dallas.

I miss home.

And I get so depressed in the winter.

I dont think I can do this forever.

I can't be here next year.

I'm sorry.

It's feeling like its about 95% sure that I will be going to UTD next year.

Maaaaaybe Texas Tech or UNT but I dont want to live in Lubbock...Or Denton.

And definitely not Austin.  And not Houston.

I'm preparing.

Now I know.

This is my last consecutive year here.

Next July I'll say goodbye to Umeå.

Maybe I'll come back the following summer?

Maybe I'll have to work.

Either way, I will come back.  Just not in a living situation.

I'm actually thinking...

Maybe I want to do my undergrad years at Dallas and then travel.

Get a job somewhere in a different country.  Work and explore.

How fun that would be.

Grey's (Spoiler Warning)

Oh my god.
Oh my god oh my god.
The ending of Grey's was brilliant.
Oh my god.
Avery is my favorite right now.

"Can I Christina you?"

and maaark :D

Surprise parties never end well.

"They're hostile and someone always ends up crying"

He hasnt gotten too much screen time lately :/

My stomach is growling.
History now.
So hungry :(



//EDIT//

Mr. Jessie Williams (Dr. Jackson Avery, aka the first picture) is apparently half swedish and half black.
sweet jesus, he's hot :P

More Movies to See

I really want to see that (500 Days of Summer).
It looks like such a chick flick :D

When did I become such a sap? I used to hate chick flicks, used to never cry during films.
I'm telling ya.  I've gone soft.

Either You High or You Ain't

So one more time for old time's sake
Dre, drop that beat and scratch that break
Now send a little bit of smoke my way
Let's go, you are now smoking with the best,
The best.


My goal is to be on time to every single class this week.  It's Thursday morning and I'm wide awake and read to go 20 minutes before "departure time."  Plus I've already made it this entire week.  Let's see if I can continue.  I think it's a Monday thing.

Mondays set the tone for the rest of the week.  I made it to class on time Monday for TOK and since then I've been on time.  Hmm.  Interesting.


Hi, my name is...
What?
My name is...
Huh?
My name is..
(chicka) Slim Shady.


A lot of artists have their best work in their early years.  After a couple of albums they hit a peak or something and then they are suddenly just albums without any real substance and are selling based on the name that they made with the first albums.

Eminem was looking at going that way, but I sincerely think that Relapse is one of the best albums.

He is one of those eternals that seem to be the only ones who can make a real comeback (and i mean a REAL one).

That is Borderline Obsession

Or perhaps it exceeds obsession.  By a lot.

Lions and tigers come running just to steal your luck
