Old times
It's been a long times since I've written here. Or anywhere. But tonight I went back and read al those posts from 2010 and 2011, and got all warm and fuzzy inside. It's funny that there is still a few people who ends up reading this blog, which hasn't been updated in over two years.
So, what has happened? I left Glasgow after my year with such great memories and friends for life. Spent the summer in the States working as an au pair in Darien, CT, outside New York. Came back to move in to my first proper flat on my own, finished my last year of uni with placement at Adecco and a thesis finally. Got a job at Adecco as a recruiter, and here I am. It's 2013, still working and enjoying life. Not so much at the moment, but that's because my foot is a cast and I'm on crutches. But only 5 days to go, and I'm back on two legs. I've got the best of friends who's keeping me company, doing my laundry and cooking for me so I'm not the one to complain.
We'll see when I'll be back here again, but it was so nice to be able to go back and read about how it alla was back then. It's a diary most of all, so maybe I should keep this just for that.
Bye bye, blogg.se
So for ALL of you who's made your way to this blog, it's time to change that bookmark. I'm leaving blogg.se to new, hopefully better grounds. So all of you, click on this link to get to my new Spotlife-blog. It's still under construction so be patient with the design etc.
I'll miss you if you don't...

Something exciting
Helena is arriving today and I'm way to excited to form any kind of thoughts and ideas for this book review. I'll give it a go though, because I don't really have anything else to entertain myself with for the next 3 hours. So i'll try, I will. Also, dear wee mom, if you are reading this. I've got really strange bruises on my leg, the one with the twisted ankle. Definetely not from the fall... What can they be ? Give me a ring.
And for all of you, my dear readers. Something exciting for this blog is coming. It's in a planning and hope stage so far, but I think it could be good. Hope you will too.

New nails
Went to get my nails done this morning. It was quite a nice experience and not to expensive. Cheaper than I thought at £31, so I could definetely go again. But I will make sure to go on wednesday because than you get 2 for 1, which means they'll give you a voucher for the same treatment for free to use at another time. Or to go with a friend. I'll show you guys a picture when I get back to the flat tonight. I did natural pink extensions so no frensh tips, which means I've painted them over because who has pale pink whitish nails ? Bought a nice light brown polish together with a darkred. Painted them brown for now, we'll see when the dark red will go on. Hopefully this will lead to me quit biting my nails. Fingers crossed !
Now, back to uni work before actual work. Btw, twisted my ankle again tuesday night getting off the bus so if you see a blond girl limping around at iCafe GWR, that's me.

Essays - it takes time
And it's killing me. I'm a really slow starter but when I finally get started I would say I'm pretty fast. But for tonight, I'm done. Decided that my essay was taking a turn and that I needed to read some more. But at the same time I was thinking that I've already read to much. So I'm leaving it for a while. It's not due for another couple of weeks and between that I have another essay AND a book review to finish. Sigh, the panic is slowly starting to come back. But I'm trying to take it easy, not to work myself up too much. I'll get nothing done if I do that.
So watching a film and then sleep. You need sleep.
XOXO
Day off
Been at uni most of the day today. It really is insane how much work I have to do... It's killing me just a wee bit. So I decided this is the week I'm treating myself to some nice things. Like dying my hair, which I'm in the process of doing just now. It's not so much dying as even out the roots, but still. It feels nice. And I'm also getting my nails done on thursday. Always wanted to try and off course give the whole stop-biting-my-nails-hell a go again. So getting wee extensions done thursday. Then off course my dear dear Helena is arriving on friday which means a weekend of drinks, fun times and shopping off course. Already have my eyes set on a new bag from COS. I know mom, I have my Marc By Marc Jacobs. But as I'm really not a big bag person I would like to have a bag so swap with ones in while, don't want to wear out my dear MarcyMark.
Need to wash this color out, will show the result tomorrow. Btw, how much does the latest episode of Gossip girl make you long for the next one ?! OMG, lonely boy and Queen B, who would have guessed ?!
Love you,
XOXO
MY OWN FLAT, GODDAMMIT !
YES ! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes and YES ! I've finally, F I N A L L Y, managed to get my own flat in Gothenburg. For you who don't know the living situation in the big cities of Sweden, it is a mission impossible. But I've finally made it. Move in date 1st of may, so obviously it will be empty for a bit but didnt want to gamble and risk not getting a flat. But this is all mine, for myself, as long as I'm at uni in Gothenburg. I'm so happy I want to cry. I've moved 10 times in the last 2 years, so for me not having to move for a while will be fucking amazing. Sorry for my french but it's unbelievable.
Love you, love you, love you.

Sloppy saturday
Oh, just had a day infront of loads of tv-series yesterday instead of doing uni work. But sometimes your head needs that to be able to really beast what you are suppose to do when the time is right. Today I headed for the library with the swedish comedians Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingson. Good shit. I've written a bit on the essay but it's time to call it a day and work instead.
See you later, cheers, thank you, ta !
XOXO

New but old iPod
As I said, my iPod broke last weekend. It's was fine except for the menu button, that didn't work. Went into Apple store here in Glasgow, and was told I had to book an appointment for examination... I know, it's like taking your iPod to the doctors. But I took it and was told that everything was fine except for the menu button and because of it being a closed product there was nothing they could. I got a couple of days to backup my music through Senuti and to say good bye. Went in yesterday and have to give my baby away so receive a new one. It was hard, I have to tell you. It's been with me for over two years, and it's done me well. I gave it a wee pet and got my new baby to take home. It's now plugged in and I've transferred most of my music. It did give me the opportunity to do a cleaning of my music library and get rid of that music that no one really listens to more than once.
So, my new baby and I are now trying to get to know each other.
XOXO
It's been a while...
Oh, and that sentence makes me think of that song. Can't remember by who, but it reminds me of my teenage years. The last week has been busy. I'm swamped in uni work so I doubt that I'll do anything fun before next weekend when my dear dear Helena is over for a visit. This week has also involved Dino's birthday, the making and eating of hajktarta, as well as a lot of lost keys and a night of too much afterpartying in the flat by other people when trying to sleep. So I've been tired for a bit as well. My iPod broke, so I'm picking up a new one today. And, I twisted my ancle and fell down the stairs in the lecture theatre. Such a good friday... Everyone's away for the weekend so my plan is to beast one of a million essays and finish it. I'll come back with an update on that when I know if I failed or not...
Love you
XOXO
Wet silence
Sorry for the silence, guys. But the week did not start the best way. Were sitting alone in my living room on monday night, talking to Julia and Carro on skype. All of a sudden I here what I thought was the shower. Which was weird because everyone was away. So I went to have a look and when I open door for the bathroom their is a flood of water coming out of the bathroom light. I panic and throw in like on towel before trying to get in touch with the landlord. When the plumbers finally came, a lot of the water had made its way down to the neighbor downstairs. So not only is our roof and floor ruined, her roof as well. Apparently the water tank over our bathroom over flooded because it was rusty, and instead of the over flowing pipe going out the building it was pointing down our bathroom... And because all the electricity lying loose up their we're not allowed to use the electric shower. And as our landlord so nicely put it - 'You guys have a bath don't you?'. So, for now all of us just have to take baths...
Oh, the relaxing feeling of a bath.
XOXO
New York, New York, I'm longing for New York
I want to go now. Now, now, NOW !
This week is New York Fashion week and where ever you turn you hear someone talking about it, in a blog, a magazine, the TV. It makes me want to go back so bad. I'm obsessed with the blog NioTillFem, and off course my fav, Where Did you get that. A while back I discovered the blog Ett annat New York, where a couple in NY is giving you the best tips on non-tourist places. And I've now got a ache in my heart for NYC, I just want to go back and that is soon. I'm thinking late August. Who's with me ? Ten days of just walking around Manhattan, Brooklyn, Williamsburg ? Anyone, please say yes. I need this. We'll rent a flat and be proper New Yorkers for a while, wouldn't that be great ?!
Who's with me ?
XOXO
As comfy as it gets
I'm in love with my new cardigan. I'm going to live in this. From Topshop.
God, my flatmate Dino must have had the worst day in the world. Went up this morning to say good bye to her, she was suppose to go away on a road trip through England for a week, and she was so stressed. Gave her a hug good bye and went back to bed. Got a text from her about 30 minutes later on where she told me she was an hour early for work and had to sit in her car and wait. Then she came back, apparently they sent her home because she hadn't ironed her shirt. Fair enough, so I said good bye to her again when I left for uni, but when I came back four hours later she was sitting in the sofa, looking seriously depressed. This time, she lost her purse with her bank card, her railway card and all, so she couldn't take the train down to her friends in Wales. I would be completely gutted.
So my day was pretty good compared to hers. Bought 19 pairs of knickers, so tired of having to wash all the time because I'm always running out of underwear. So know I'm well prepared.
XOXO
Less is more
I could look like this all day everyday. Hands down for Columbine.
Ain't no sunshine
When they're gone, anytime they go away. It's been a bit dark this week, was in such a bad mood yesterday at work. Thought I was going to snap over the smallest of things, and it was quite busy so it could have happened. Luckily it didn't. I've been studying all day today, and now I'm at work again. Thought I was working tomorrow but it was today which threw me off a bit. But what can you do, looking forward to tomorrow night. Just going to have quiet night in. By the way, a man just printed off roughly 350 pages at work, at 20 p a sheet... Looks like we're reaching our target tonight...
Still in the planning stage of what's coming. Be patient.
Love you, you're the best things in life.
XOXO
