Grillning var fantastisk ;)

Jenny och min pappa kommer snart!!! På fredag morgon!
Yippee!!
Och balen är på torsdag!!
Superkul!

Ja det är allt.


Over and out.

Brännboll 2010

Yesterday was a lot of fun.  It started with meeting Jennie in town at 11am and going to a friend of her sisters place to have a beer.  I had only had a macka for breakfast and Jennie had only had coffee so we were a little bit tipsy by the time we left for the tournament around noon.

We had a great time just watching the games and supporting her sisters team (kartellen).  There was a great soundtrack as well ;)

And plenty of beer haha.  Jennie and I were already drunk after the 2nd game (which our team lost by Rock Paper Scissors!!) and then came the vodka shots so after that we had a faaabulous time walking home to me and eating Kebab pizza :D

(photos stolen from Jennie's blog)

When we were home we pretty much crashed.   After a couple of hours it was out again to Jennie’s to pick up the rest of our drinks and headed over to the same place we were at that morning.  We drank and played games and socialized and threw cards and drank some more before heading over to TC and deciding that since it was 20+ we wouldn't get in.  Of course its always nice to find out later that someone knew the bouncer and we could've gotten in :P but im glad i went home cause i died on the couch and ended up making mexican soup and watching fight club.

The best part of the evening I must say, was when Jennie got a text from Dea reading:

DET ÄR NÅN KVINNA SOM ÄR HELT BORTA I VÅRAN LÄGENHET HAHAHAHA JAG DÖR VET INTE HUR VI SKA FÅ UT HON XD

Apparently a (most likely extremely drunk) woman had somehow managed to get into the apartment and wouldn't really leave so Jennie and I went out onto the balcony and called Dea so that she could pretend that she was coming to us and convince the lady to leave.

Today was spent doing absolutely nothing except:

1. Preparing for our barbecue
2. Barbecuing
3. Eating

That is what has happened so far.  But maaaan was it goooood :D

New Music For You

Change by The Young Veins
**The Young Veins was created by two members of Panic at the Disco.  PATD is now replacing them I believe.  This song is very Beatles-esque...



Tenderoni by Kele
**Kele is the lead singer of Bloc Party and this is his debut single as a solo artist.




What Did My Lover Say (It Always Had To Go This Way) by Wolf Parade

We are scientists

Kemi är så himla kul

Recap: Monday

Yesterday was surprisingly really fun.  Or "surprisingly."  I wasn't sure how things would go so I just went with it and even though I had a killer headache and felt a bit feverish I smiled and laughed and had a good time.

First Jennie, Hanna G and I biked to Strömpilen to go to DinSko, Vera Moda, and Kicks (always fun) and I ended up finding my new fabulous shoes that I can barely walk in.  But don't worry, that'll change by the end of the week ;)  I'm already getting better I think.

Afterwards we came back to school to congratulate Dea and Michaela for finishing their tests.  Of course it was so badly organized that only 4 of us were there on time and while we waited for the others to arrive Dea and Michaela came out from the test.  Anyways, we ate lunch together and drank Pommac so it was great.  Afterwards we returned books and Hanna G and I played a great quick game of Chess (ahahahahaha) and then rushed to play dodgeball against the teachers.

Oh my goodness, I miss team sports so much.  Soooo much fun!

After dodgeball we went home and changed to get all dressy and went to dinner at Balders.  Taco buffé yum yum yum!  Then we fixed our little project and ended up at Pipe's for a drink.  Unfortunately, I probably won't be drinking until CSN comes in so...we'll see how I end up fixing Brännbollsyran :P

Pictures from the evening:

Klar

I am now done with high school.  Feels super weird.  It hasn't really kicked in yet, although I do get random spaz attacks when I remember.  But then it goes away and I forget that I'm done and that in the fall I begin my long road to a degree in Chemistry.  Or business, we'll see right?

Yesterday there was a great mini party on my balcony.  Me, Jennie, Hanna G and eventually Dea when she got back from Kramfors.  We laughed ourselves silly and had great summery drinks.  I decided to try the Mango Bacardi Breezer yesterday and I must say, I was not let down.  It was super delish ;)  And of course the timeless Smirnoff Ice :D  Perfect summer drinks.  Not to mention Jennie and I managed to watch all 5 episodes of Grey's Anatomy that we had missed, including the season finale.  I died.  Almost quite literally.  There were tears and screams at the small laptop scream.  WHAT THE FUCK does not even cover it.  It was an amazing finale.

Unfortunately, today was not as great.  Started off by waking up at 13.15 so that was the first sign.  Followed by checking the fridge and realizing we had absolutely no food so I skipped breakfast.  Luckily Dea came home from town with a bit of food for lunch...Afterwards was the IIHL championship (hockeys VM) semifinal match between Sweden and Czech Republic.  Sweden was leading 2-1 until the last 15 seconds when Czech scored and they went into overtime that led to penalty shots.  It ended up with Czech Rep winning and me and Dea sitting on the balcony in silence and then screaming at the tv and then sitting in silence again.  Both of us were shaking near the end of the match cause we were so nervous.

Needless to say, that ruined my day.  And today is Kulturnatta so theres  music, fashion shows, and art shows galore in town, just 10 minutes walk away but I can't bring myself to be happy.  We might stroll down there later though.. maybe around 10 or 11 cause thats when the bigger shows are...But even then I dont know any of the people so it doesn't really feel like it matters.

But Jennie is coming soon soooo it'll get better.

EEK

1. One of my nearest & dearest friends is apparently also attending UTD and will also be staying in the apartments with another good friend of mine which means we will definitely be able to hang out next year instead of drifting apart! :D

2. In less than an hour I am leaving to go to school to eat lunch and then take my final exam.  I'm nervous but I think I'll be okay once I get there.  In 5 hours I will be DONE with high school! "Omg yay" is an understatement.

3. I have great plans for the next week.  Really great plans.  Starting with today!  Right now I'm loading the 5 episodes of Grey's Anatomy that Jennie and I haven't seen because of finals.  Even Swedish television is ahead of us...

4. 5 hours!!!

Artist of the Week: Sublime

Ja just det.
Nu blir det svenska, hela tiden. 100% Svenska!!
Eller...jo det finns ju undantager? Nu fattar inte ens jag vad jag vill säga.
Iaf... Ikväll är det lite festligheter hos mig eftersom de flesta av klassen är ju klar med skolan FOREVER ;) Sååå...ja ska se hur det går. Men alldeles först är middag med Jennie!! Spännande!



This song makes my life.




I got a dalmatian
I can still get high
I can play the guitar
Like a motherfuckin' riot

Lovin' Is What I Got

I Said, Remember That.

Choklad? Jo tack.

Tyvärr har jag inga choklad.
Nu är jag less igen med ingen anledning allts.
Men så är livet.  Jag ska försöka bli glad ändå...

Det är grönt överaaaallt!
Och imorgon är sista dagen för de flesta (utom 4 av oss)...
Jag har fredag kvar och sen är det rrriiiiktigt fest ;)
Men jag gillar ju att ta det lite lugnt också...

Ska se vad händer när pappa och jenny kommer.
Undrar om pappa skulle sponsorera några drinkar eller ngt...
Hmm :P

Ja ja, iaf.  Måste plugga nu.
Och sen kolla på lite Doctor Who därför jag är en nöööööörrdd ;)

One of my most favorite scenes ever.  You'd have to watch to show to get it, but this is like an ULTIMATE climax.  Like a story line that is weaved through 4 seasons and there are so many more stories to be told!!!  I love how it works.  It's brilliant, it's genius!  Even though sometimes its suuuper nerdy and geeky, its amazing.  Really.

Our Past Adventures

Så himla less idag, vet inte varför.  Men det här gör det bättre...

Dea var också less i veckan.

Onsdag: gick ut med Milton :)

Och sen pluggade vi enviro ut på gräsmatten

Torsdag: årets första glass

Jättevåffla

"typsikt Dea"   sääääkert ;)

Hanna G är verkligen svensk....

Yeeaa boi

Quotes

I come out to the balcony where Dea and Jennie are sitting speaking in funny accents about herding reindeer in Sami culture.  Jennie had been herding for 10 generations in Luxembourg.

Dea: Det finns väl inte så många kvar där längre?
Jennie: Jaaa, de dog ut när vi drog.

---------------------------------------------------

Jennie: oj vilken snygg kille
Dea (som kan inte se): har han skägg?

---------------------------------------------------

To be continued...

Pankekes

Idag var så himla varmt.  Seriöst.  Dea dör och även jag, som har bott i TEXAS hela mitt liv tycker att det är för varmt!  Fast det var ju skönt egentligen.

Jennie och Dea kom hem till oss efter de var klar med provet och vi åt lite fika på balkongen.  Knäckebröd och rå falukorv.  Så himla najs ;)  Och man får inte glömma lemondaden så klart!

Iaf, efter det får vi till Coop och handlade lite små grejer till pannkakor som vi ska snart göra.  Efter det far vi till Jennie så att hon fick byta kläder.  Det är alldeles för varmt att ha jeans leggings på.  Vi tog en lite detour och lekte på dungen med the whistler och fick glass av hennes mamma.  Såååå skköööntt!

Men det är faktiskt dags att lämna er eftersom det är dags att laga mat!  Spännande!  Älskar pannkakor.  Fast jag saknar min pappas pannkakor, han är mästare på det.  Allvarligt: bästa pannkakor NÅGONSIN.

Ses sen :)

A Night For The Ages

Thursday: Math and bus ride in. Fun times were had, awkward people were met.  Babies licked windows and the danish man wouldnt let me get my salad from under the bus.

Friday: A day on the town.  Shopping forever, school with our hostess.  Took a beer in town and after many hours, found my white dress.

That night we went to a bar where we had plenty of beer and met some very interesting people.  (Btw: Who tattoos their birthday on their arm?  Who takes the subway to a bar at 1 in the morning to meet a girl that found your number in a toilet? And who has hair like Nick from the Backstreet Boys anymore?) Super fun night anyways.

Saturday: Hungover, lunch at Burger King.  Ate so much we couldn't eat before the concert and ended up not eating another meal until 9:30am the next morning.  The concert was breathtaking.  Afterwards we met up with Lee and went to another bar on Medborgarplatsen.  Met some more very interesting (and hilarious) people that came with us to another bar.  One after party and a good amount of alcohol later, it was light outside again, we hadn't slept in forever, and we had to hurry home, pack, and run back into town to catch our bus.  All this at 7.30am when we hadn't slept a wink all night, hadn't eaten since 2 in the afternoon, had had drinks, and were struggling to stay awake and starving.  Conclusion: amazing night apart from certain events, but mostly an amazing night.

One of my favorites.  Although thats hard to say, as I loved every single song, every single speech, every single breath she took.  It was an amazing performance.  This one was the intro:
Dancing In the Dark:

Amazing!!!

Monday: English P2 (okay)

Tuesday: History P1 P2 (good)  (awful)

Wednesday: History P3 (alright).  Followed by hanging out with Jennie and just being outside all day.  Studied out on the lawn and played at the jungle gym. Askul!

Thursday: Woke up laughing after dreaming that I was a princess in a pink dress and I was going to be Miss Germany and suddenly i was in a wheelchair and had to drag myself up stairs.  Fun fun fun.  Afterwards, took Dea to school and then got some groceries and picked up my medicine.  Then Dea Hanna G and Jennie came by and we biked into town to have some ice cream.

It rained so much last night it was so great.  Thuuunnddeeer :)

Friday: Toooday is gonna be great :)  Jennie is coming over and we're going to have pancakes for dinner and study Enviro. yes yes yes!!

Oh just you wait.

There will be a recollection of the best weekend ever.

Omens

Today was the Business Paper 2 and Mathematics Paper 1 test.  I think they went fairly well, although I could have been a bit more prepared?  I panicked a bunch during the tests because it felt like I didn't actually know what I was talking about.  And all the signs this morning didn't help either.

First the weather was being just plain fussy.  Sunshine! Rain clouds! Sunshine! Hail! SUNSHINE!

Not to mention me waking up at exactly 5.38am and looking over to see Dea's eyes wide open on the other side of the room.  Freaky.

But the worst one was this:

I recently went to Kii and got a free tote bag because it was my birthday and I am a club member.  I love this bag btw.  Anyways, so I put some math things in there so that I could review during lunch.  In there was my calculator as well.  So I start biking with Dea on the back of the bike and my new bag hanging on the handle.  Suddenly I hit a bump or something cause the bag swings and hits my tire and the calculator leaps out.  Of course, I'm still biking as this happens so I managed to roll right over my calculator.  On the day of my math exam.

All was well in the end, but it felt like I was the calculator and I had just killed myself.

And then it turns out we weren't even allowed to use calculators on the test.

I don't know.

It was weird, is all.

Tonights plans:

STUDY MATH! Paper two tomorrow!!

Pack for my trip to Stockholm!

Do laundry in order to pack!

Peace out,

catch you later ;)

Well...

I honestly think it went well.  I may just be making it seem better in my head but I honestly believe I did well.  Unless I just totally fucked everything up and didn't realize.

But I kind of killed myself studying business last weekend and it was like...I knew the answers!
So...I guess in the end it's not that surprising.  I was happy anyways.

Yeah.
As for English...Probably one of the best essays I've written in the past 2 years so that was a great success.  I don't think it was a 7 or anything, but definitely a 5 and if I'm lucky, a 6 :)  Hope it was a 6...

Enough about that.
Except there is nothing else right now.
I need money and a return ticket from stockholm and clean clothes.
Omg.
Stockholm soon!!!  I'm so excited :D  GaGa!!!
