Ya baya ein el hawa
Emelie, Solveig, me and Louise from the Bellydance show last night, as well as a pic of the whole group. I'm on the far left (viewer's perspective) in yellow...
Trevor filmed it too so I hope to get that up here sometime soon. But these are it for now :)
Who is hiding when the sun is out
Masquerade Graduation Party! Yes it was fun to dress up xD so here are more pics from the actual party...
Louise and I
Axel, Louise, me and Gustav
...and a bunch of people ;)
Let's play dressup
Went to a fun graduation party last night. Wasn't much at first, but I think we got the dance floor going pretty well and I ended up having a blast. Best of all - it was a masquerade :D
Thanks Louise, Axel and Gustav for a great time :)
"Put your hats on"
Hey! Finally the day has come and gone when all the graduating seniors gather up outside the school, listen to a speech and together - in unison - put our graduation hats on for the first time! Happy Valborg!
I'm graduating in a month with the best of the best friends :D
In addition I'd like to point out that tomorrow is May 1st. I started this blog in May 2008. It's been four years and I'm still keeping it up. impressive ;) This is me in May 2008:
Paris tu nous ouvre ton coeur
Five wonderful days in Paris with Louise. Yes. Happiness ^^
Back in Sweden - I just spent the morning making an unexpected snowman outside :P
Running in circles with you
Lamest excuse in history is bloggers saying "Hi, I'm sorry I haven't written in sooo long.. just been sooo busy..". So I won't do that, just tell you why last time I wrote I was anxiously awaiting my boyfriend's arrival the next day. For obvious reasons such as being in love, being happy, being a senior about to graduate, working two jobs as well as switching rooms with my little sister.... I have not blogged. I've barely checked my email or facebook lately. I am happy and very much alive thought, been to IKEA twice to get new stuff for the room, and been trying to puzzle together my days and still try to sleep at least a few hours every night. I have a weekend of awfulness ahead of me with the ACT (Swedish version), working ICA both nights and Funkykidz Sunday morning. I will be well-dead just in time for easter break to begin Monday. Won't see much of rainy Sweden though, since Louise and I are off Monday morning to PARIS!!! Staying for five whole days and then back home to eat eggs and study my brains to death. Week full of tests comes after that and further than that my calendar does not dare go yet. After that I will sleep. much. Now I'm off to work. Maybe I can grab something to eat before I go so I endure without food till 10 pm tonight. Wish me luck! :D
Hope you like the new look of the blog :)
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow, you're only a day away
I've had an insane week.
Monday was nothing out of the ordinary... just being patient and me :)
Tuesday I work an extra shift at ICA.
Wednesday I got an email from the migration board in Sweden saying Trevor's residence permit was approved.
Thursday I get home from work and Trevor's ordered a ticket to Sweden!
Friday I go see the three musketeers-musical at the theater in town.
Saturday I work extra shift at Funkykidz, move out of my old, loved bedroom and into the guestroom for now, and then ICA.
Sunday (today) I work at Funkykidz + ICA all day.
^Me and the sweet sisters <3
And no one has any right to say I lack patience any more - least of all I do - because today a mom to four of the girls who are in my dance groups looked at me and said "You have the patience of an angel" :D
Bright bright bright Sunshine day
I think today is a happy day. Today is a perfect day. Today could very well be more amazing than I ever dared hope for.
For one thing - I got my Graduation Hat today and it looks more amazing than I imagined and graduation is in just 57 schooldays and I've caught every bus and train without having to wait today and I had tortellini and corn and olives for lunch and I wrote a nice email to the migration board after a nice lady on the phone helped me find the right email address and I managed to stay away from buying anything unhealthy at the cafeteria in school and I didn't have my first hour today because my teacher was sick so I got a nice sleepin and I had scrambled eggs for breakfast and I got around to finished unpacking my bags from skiing week and I had company all the way home from school twice today so didn't have to go alone and I feel less sore from the workout yesterday than I thought I would and it was sunny today. It was way sunny and I felt like sitting outside during lunch and soak up the sun. Today is a great day.
Hope to see some of these in the garden soon. Think the pic is taken by Elsa last spring :)
Up up and away
Sometimes I really wish I was brave. Because being brave looks like
SO MUCH FUN!
Let's just say 10 % of me is really excited about the idea to jump off a huge rock like that. The other 90 %'s freaking out. Understandable...
The laughter penetrates my silence
Finally got the report from SLC after Trevor's interview, and I've handed it in after my nice dad drove me to the migration board yesterday and it's now in the hands of the person handling our case. Now we wait and wait....

All the snow is now gone and it feels like spring. The air is still cold and when I woke up today the kitchen thermometer showed negative 9 degrees celsius. I definately encourage spring to arrive, since I am completely over winter by now and eager to run in the grass and feel the sun on my face. Today while waiting for the bus, heading to the gym after school, I stood for a few minutes and just let the sun warm me and I felt like if I closed my eyes I could almost imagine I wasn't wearing a big coat, or a scarf, or boots... Like it was summer. Somehow the nickname I have received from some people - Sunflower - makes so much sense. I really do turn towards the sun and just absorb it as much as I can. I have enjoyed winter but I am ready for spring to arrive!
This could possibly be one of the prettiest duets I know :) Like it a lot <3
Because it is beautiful together
Solveig, Sara, me and Elsa
Back from sportsbreak with the family up north. Not too cold at all, close to 0 degrees Celsius almost every day. Good an bad, since negative 25 is not too fun in the long run. Would have been nice with more powder and less ice though. Been skiing in the woods, on mountains and last day - according to tradition - we rented snowboards and now my knees are bruised blue.

"It's five o'clock in the morning. Conversation got boring. You said you're going to bed soon. So I snuck off to your bedroom."
Goodmorning Sportsbreak and hello getting up at 6 and not being able to fall back asleep after few hours of sleep lately and a need to sleep in. Ugh better just get up and start the day and make something good out of it :)
If I were a bird I'd be a parrot because they're astonishingly beautiful.
Jag går och fiskar, och tar en tyst minut
Oh what a day..
First off - Today I got my Math test back. Didn't do great, not as well as I wish I had done and not as great as I know I can do.. But alright. After that the day went on pretty well with a long lunch break, a short English class and a birthday party for my niece who turned 1. Then I came home and started packing my things for sports break which starts next week. Realised - I forgot all my physics books in school. Crap. Big test coming up after the break and was planning to study while up north.. yay for being the stupidest idiot on the planet right now..
More entertaining part of today was finding out my dad had bought SWEDISH FISH to bring on the trip!! O.O I had no idea Sweden had started selling Swedish fish!! I feel like the US is taking over hahah these aren't made in Canada like the American ones though! :P
Yum!
Turned the day in my favor and now the sun is out
Happy Fat Tuesday!
Today I woke up feeling like the weight of the world was on my shoulders. Chemistry test for 3 hours in the morning, dentist visit to get an acrylic splint (ok totally just looked up that word, no idea that's what it's called..), and hadn't figured out how to make work next week work out with my skiing trip... So much to worry about. But then I thought - HEY. Everything will work out and if it doesn't there is absolutely nothing I can do right now to force it to. I can just do what I am capable of and I need to stop thinking the world will end if I don't manage to have everything under control. Yes. So I went off and took my test, and it wasn't that awful. Didn't do amazingly great, but still feeling alright with it. And I went to the dentist and turns out I don't need that acrylic splint at the moment at least. And texted a friend at work who said he'll cover for me and I can take his shift the week after that. SEE? (Yes Trevor you're right I need to stop stressing about things..)
I think this quote belongs to Henry Ford, but I first learned it from Rich Hill :)
Also - today is Fat Tuesday and all Swedes have Fat Tuesday Buns (aka Semlor). Tradition at its best! <3
Monday can be the Best day of the week if you make it Happy
FINALLY I can speak again! It's still somewhat rusty and I've heard numerous times today that I sound like a teenage boy entering puberty.. Fun, but at least I'd rather be a teenage boy than mute :D
Today has been exciting enough with Swedish class, two hours of Chemistry which consisted of everyone being half panicking about the huge test tomorrow morning, Lunch during which Louise and I had an epiphany and went to her house to see an episode of the tv show we follow together, an apple muffin, physics class where we plugged in a nail and watched it catch on fire and melt, theater with a crazy wife armed with a golf club as well as guys putting on mascara, an apple cake and fat tuesday buns, then a quick stop at home for a tasty dinner and off to bellydance where we danced out superfast speed up dance and it went strangely well (=I didn't fall, I didn't die and I didn't break any bones). Now I am home and trying to make myself not pick up the chemistry book again because I KNOW I won't be able to study and actually LEARN anything else at this point. Oh well, I'm not too worried, this test will turn out as it pleases and I'll just have to face it right on when I sit there at 8 am tomorrow. Hence... I'm off to bed :)
Thanks for being here for me always sweet girl <3
Right now I can't even remember the basic alcohol molecules because my head is filled with the song from my last post. So pretty :)
