back again
back in St Andrews again. Sitting i our empty house, kitchen is clean and the laundry is out in the backgarden drying. Basically all my chores for today has been completed.
So now I can just sit back and reflect in the quietness over the past week and a half. Had such a great time in Sweden, seeing old friends, spending some time with the family and showing The boy around my hometown.
As well as finally having a proper tour of Copenhagen. Just perfect... And then finishing it of with a short stay in Edinburgh. Meeting Dave's nanna and family again + having a wee night out on town.
just a really, really good break. Just a shame I now have to get back into the studying.
-----buuuuuut that can wait. off to town to get some stuff at tesco and see if I can get that damn bag from HM... ad maybe something else... (I really need a small bag for going out... and I found one at HM, just hope they got it in the St Andrews store + that it's cheaper)
Sunny, Relaxing Summer day
The sun has been warming my tired pole muscles all day long, best recovery medicin from a hard workout... and it gives you a nice tan. Better start building on the beach -12 tanning bod ;)
Smelling a wee bit better, bag is packed and filled up with warm tea... gonna have something to eat and since I'll be forced to eat whatever is in the fridge and needs to be eaten before I leave... well doesn't leave much to eat besides scrambled eggs on toast. So that it is.
Right now I simply Cannot wait no to leave this little bubble and breath some swedish air again. Cannot wait to visit Denmark. And I cannot wait to see all my friends and attempt to introduce a bit of Sweden to Dave. :)
Might be developing a new art obsession
Sitting in the library, being redicolously productive (or well... one or two breaks are allowed), listining to Kent, Snook and all my swedish favourites.
Got to say I am absolutely getting obsessed with Damien Hirst. I knew there was something about that statue that just forced me to write about it instead of some of the others. He is a rockstar of contemporary art. He is morbid and twisted. He is my type of artist. It's the themes that intigues me and therefore I just get completely captivated about his art.
I know I have issues. Haha but I have always been facinated about the dark motifs (not saying I like horror films... still hate them). The piece I'm writing on send chills down my back. But that is why I had to pick it for my essay!
I like music that is dark and I like art that is dark. There's a reason two of my favourite artists are Munch and Goya.
But yes! ones again: loving my degree. Spending an afternoon in the library reading news articles and watching documentaries whilst typing up notes so my essay will just be a matter of assembling before I go home on thursday (friday morning technically)
so this whole deal about the summer job....
... I am forever grateful to my mum for helping me out in getting this job at Volvo again. It is truly an amazing place to work at with amazing people, and I was upset when I heard that the place I usually work at had decided not to take in any summer workers this year. But I sent in my CV anyway, hoping I might get another job in the company (figured 4 summers of experience would help). Problem: Volvo usually requires interviews.. I'm not available for interviews, which makes me kind of screwed. My mother therefore spoke to her manager, and my boss last year, and said they do need help... And 4 years of previous work.. Well, it's good since I don't need to learn from scratch.
I have now however heard (and I know non of you mean it in a bad way) that it is unfair and wrong since my mum got me in. Even then 4 years ago.
... But that is how it works - at least in sweden and I assume in most places - it is all about connections. You can barely get a foot in a cafe with out connections if you don't have any previous training. And I have used this contact, and I've work really hard to prove that I was the right choice. Mothers help or not, they wouldn't allow me back if I did work hard.
Is it such a bad thing to use your connections in aid to get a job? And since I can't get interviews that all work require... Is it really that awful to get some help?
things that makes me swear
.... when you half way through a show (or after hours and hours of searching) closes down the internet window!!!! AAARGH! ffs... now I have to look at 2 min of commericals AGAIN.
Internet feel my wraaaaaath!!!!!!
things that makes me annoyed and things that makes me really happy
Bad ones first, mainly so I can go to the fun stuff later ;)
Things that makes me annoyed part one
-when people cut you off/stop listening/acts like they've stopped listening/anything along those lines while you're talking. Especially (!! The think that makes it 10 times worse) when they asked you a question in the first place. Hardly think I am alone on that one. And I know accidentally most of us do it occasionally.. Some people however does it more then other. Making at least me feel: insignificant and as a waste of space. Why would what I have to say matter if people act like it's not worth their time..
Things that makes me vary happy though (and is fuuuun!!)
Rocksoc on thursday: really, really looking forward to it :D and soon easter break and sweden + denmark :) can't wait to get the hell out of here for a wee while :p haha getting a bit tired of st andrews and all the uni stuff (obv not the people).
Also, actually looking forward to starting on my AH assignment. Feeling really good about it and I can't wait to explore the subject of modern art more. (Mainly because for ones it's not all theory behind it, but main focus is on what you see and feel)
Over all: still bubbling with joy for 99% of my time. (Would say 100% but I guess that would be a bit unrealistically in any situation haha) :)
spring
Such a lovely, sunny and amazing day!! St Andrews; I love you days like these.
Have had my last test before the break, and it felt alright. You know... not to great but at the same time I don't think I epicallyfailed it either.
What I love about the sun is that even if I'm stessed and worried - I cannot be stressed, you know what I mean? It's the best medicin :D
+ I am seriously looking forward to the game tonight ;) Arsenal vs Newcastle. no matter how it goes... either me or the bf will be upset.
thought from a wet wednesday
Right now I almost wish that was alcohol related but no... it's raining.
But besides that good day. Last night we managed to book the bus/train ticket to Copenhagen, so me and Dave shall be seeing a bit of Denmark as well as Sweden during the easter break. Other then that, plans are being made. Friday: gothenburg, saturday (hopefully..) dad, sunday-monday Copenhagen, tuesday and wednesday are still sort of up for grabs. But ther are a few things and people I do have to see those days. :)
So, so excited!!!!
lyrics
I absolutely love listening to lyrics. (which is probably the reason I tend to not prefer growlin' songs... not a lot of words to listen to..)
Now and then I think of when we were togetherLike when you said you felt so happy you could dieI told myself that you were right for meBut felt so lonely in your companyBut that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadnessLike resignation to the end, always the endSo when we found that we could not make senseWell you said that we would still be friendsBut I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me offMake it like it never happened and that we were nothingI don't even need your love, but you treat me like a strangerAnd that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so lowHave your friends collect your recordsAnd then change your numberGuess that I don't need that thoughNow you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to knowNow you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me overBut had me believin it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that wayReading into every word you sayYou said that you could let it goAnd I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know-oh-oh
But you didn't have cut me offMake it like it never happened and that we were nothing (oh)I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a strangerand that feels so rough
(oh)
No, you didn't have to stoop so lowHave your friends collect you recordsAnd then change your number (oh)Guess that I don't need that thoughNow you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody that I used to knowSomebody (now your just somebody that I used to know)That I used to knowSomebody that I used to knowSomebody (somebody) (now your just somebody that I used to know)That I used to know
I used to knowThat I used to knowI used to knowSomebody
