So much to look forward to!

Right now I am sitting at my parents house, or I dont know about sitting, more like jumping around! 

It was like lightning just hit me, I realized that I have so much to look forward to, and I just got so overwhelmingly happy that if I wasnt alone in my house at the moment, I would give the nearest person a big kiss!!

So in the near future I have; first a big club premiere with all my friends on thursday, then I was invited to an old friend's party on friday (yes I know... let's ignore the apparent increase in my alcohol consumption...), I'm going to visit my sister in the UK in like two weeks, not to mention that it is only 30 (OMFG!!) day until I fly to Colorado Springs where 3 craaaaaazy weeks lies ahead; skiing, cuddling&kissing and travelling! Moreover, spring is slowly coming to Sweden which means that tons of coffee will be enjoyed in the sun with some amazing friends! 

However, even though I have so many things to look forward to, my life is still pretty messed up and my feelings are like a friggin rollercoaster; I'm graduating in May without any plans for the future, I just became single which obviously means a lot of stress and sadness, and I have veeery confusing guy in a country on the other side of the atlantic...

But right now I'll just forget about those not-so-nice pieces of crap, because man, there some fun times coming for me!

Colorado!


YES!!! This is actually completely true!! Guess who is going back to heaven in 45 days?! ME!!!

Holy Cow... Im sooooo excited! A little bit too excited actually haha! Because I have a hard time focusing on the things that actually matters now; like assignments, thesis and everyday life... I just cannot Carpe the Fucking Diem... If you get what I mean. 

Every single minute of the day, ever single second, nano second.... I think of the moment when I walk into Colorado Springs airport, when I hug my friends, buy my first coffee at Benji's, the second when i see him... 

Yes, of course there is a guy in the picture. There is always someone special. I'm going to stop talking about him right now, because once again I have to STOP FREAKING ABOUT IT! That's what everyone is telling; "stop thinking about it and then time will just fly by!" Pffffff.... Like it is that easy?! No, it's is not. 

So pleeease, my little cyber space friends; if you have any tips at all to make time just fly away, please share them! I will soon have my own Grand Canyon in my apartment as a result from walking back and forth, hoping that the 45 days between me and the 3rd of april will just magically disappear...

What I reallyreallyreally want to wear right now!

Winter can be a little toooo harsh here in Sweden, and you mostly want to stay inside. In bed. All day.

Well, you still have to go up, step on the freeeezing floor, drink a cup of coffee and drag yourself to school. Wearning any of these outfits would just make my day so much cozier and easier. Well, they would just make my life a lot better, Im sure of it! 



New Beginnings

Here I am again... Long time no see!

Quite much has changed since last time.
Here I am again, being single.

Usually being single or not is really not a big deal, but since one of my last post was about weddings and me wanting to marry my then-boyfriend. Funny, how quick some things change...

However, since I have been dwelling on this break-up thing far too long already; thinking back and forth on my decision (yes, apparently I am the bad guy here...) to break-up was right or not... Luckily, I am really sure that this was the best for both of us. We got together when I was 16 (almost 6 years ago!) so I really believe that we both have to test our own wings a bit.

So why the heck am I back here?! 

I mean, it went sooooo well the last... what is it, 1000 times?! (you hear my irony right?!)

Well, the thing is, being a single gal means that you suddenly has a lot of free, dead time, which you normally would spend with your BF; like cooking, chillin' or going to dinners at grandmas/grandpas looking all fancy and dressed up... but suddenly, there is just soooo much time!!! 

I figured that I really need to do something with all this time (well, what's left after I have been terrorizing all my girlfriends...), otherwise I will just get crazy! Anyways, my sister said "Maybe blogging is your thing!" In that moment I was just too ashamed of my non-talent in blogging that I just stayed silent... 

But here it is; my 1001 try at blogging!

Hey, you can't blame a girl for trying!

TGIF

Hi all!

Finally, IT IS FRIDAY! 

This has definitely been a hard week; lots of studying and an exam on Wednesday. So I actually think that I deserve having a bloody good weekend! 

So yesterday I went jogging, not the most fun thing to do but the feeling the seconds after you stop is just intoxicating! No wonder that people become exercise-aholics.... After I had run for 40 min I did some squats in the hill that leads up to my house and apparently the CC hockey team passed me because my friend who is in the team told me today that he and the others saw me and that I was crazy making squats in a uphill slope... haha I guess handball practice has teached me well ;)

So, on Saturday me and my room mate are going to Manitou Springs which is supposed to be a prettier version of Colorado Springs. We are taking the bus there, which apparently is an adventure of its own... It's going to be interesting! 

Now I am off to the shower because tonight is party night :) I wonder if I will ever get used to the very-american-house-party-thing... Going to be fun anyways!

Have wonderful night y'all!

Longing for cold nights and hot tea

Hello lovelies!

I hope you all are fine and that you look forward to dark autumn nights, hot tea and a lot of other cozy things, I certainly do! But summer is having a firm grip on Colorado Springs; it is still around 25 degrees celsius here  and, I am sorry, but I just cannot stand the heat anymore! Please please please give my chilly mornings, orange leaves, some rain and wind! I might sound strange but autumn is definitely my favourite season and has always been. So come on now Mr Autumn, give us some real autumn storms!

Otherwise, everything is good here! Though I have an exam tomorrow and that is of course never actually fun. But I did go to seven eleven before to buy some study treatments (Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream of course!), so now I am ready for a long night of mercantalism, realism, marxism and public choice theory (Yey...)

It is funny how patriotic you get as soon as you leave you own little sphere! Right now I just can't think of any bad things about Sweden and actually about all of europe. When I am here I make a point of that I am both swedish and european. I feel so far away from home right now that even if I went to Spain or Franch it would feel better, beause then I would at least be in europe!

Anyway, enough talking! I have some major studying to do! In the meantime, indulge in these gorgeous autumn pictures and pray for that we will get colder temperatures here in C.springs because I am minutes from melting...









Until next time, cheers!

First 14 days in Colorado Springs

Ok, so now I am here. In the big land on the other side of the pond. In America, Colorado springs. The land of opportunities, the land of people that talks very loud, the land that has a very strange breakfast. I have been here 14 days and have exactly 119 days left.

So how do I feel? 

Good I guess... I have a great time, my room mate is nice, the area is nice. The way of studying here; wierd. Breakfast; what is is with americans and bagels?! They are not that good.... (I am trying my best to avoid the unavoidable but soon you can probably call me Fatsy...)

The way of studying and how you act in class is very different from Sweden. At CC we have one course at the time, for 3½ week. So no time for procrastination (baaah, that my favourite thing to do...). Morover, americans are very talkative! This can sit and discuss subjects open in class without really knowing anything about the subject. I must say I am very impressed even though I feel slightly uncomfortable being the only one sitting silent. But I will try to do my best. 

One other thing that freaks me out is that there is NO free time AT ALL. I even feel stressed now, writing this blog post because I have so much to do! Generally its 100 pages a day I have to read and present infront of the class tomorrow. Hello stress-symtoms! 

So this will be it for now! I'll come back and write more when I dont have a study-concious left....

By the way... Right now I need a huge cup of Tea. Because when there is tea, there is hope! 





Et moi! In Great Sand Dunes National Park



Goregous mountains everywhere!


Cowboys...


Rodeo-time! 


Cheers for now!
