So basically, since I've been sort of MIA this fall, I want to know: What's your new vice for this TV fall season? Which show has been so amazing/awesome/terrifically addictive but yet you can't admit to it? For me, it seems as if though the shows are piling up.

First we have The Vampire Diaries, which I sort of only watch for Ian Somerhalder, and it's surprisingly entertaining. Not this whole cheesy non-angsty thing going on over in "Twilight" universe. The show is dark and messed up. Me likey.

The second show that I've got addicted to is, even though I desperately want to deny it by all I hold dear, the remake of Melrose Place. There's just something about that show that makes me want to watch it when I am feeling down or just need a distraction. Jonah/Ella are amazing and so is also David/Ella <3.

Glee sort of goes without saying I believe. That show is just... amazing.

The work is piling up to be quite honest. I realised the other day that it's only two weeks left until my Politics essay is due (and it's 30% of my grade) and I haven't started. The question has been chosen and all that but I haven't started reading for it. Hence me not updating so much. Politics is really what I want to do so I don't want to fail...

(and yes that's the sound of me freaking out)

I'll try and update more, I promise.

I'm quite good at studying. I actually went to the library at 11 am this morning and I am still here, five hours later. Of course I had an hour off where I went for lunch but nevertheless.. I deserve some credit for that at least I suppose. Right now I am reading about the Russian revolution and the book is really nice. Short but concice. It's just so nice that I'm considering purchasing it to be honest. A good basic book!

Last night we watched Angels & Demons and somehow we also ended up watching Beauty and the Beast. Now, I must ask about B&B because there's this song, Human Again which I do not recognise from my Swedish version of the film. It's never been there and suddenly as we were watching my English version (that I intended to put on my iPod at one point), there it was. It was quite insane to be frank. Has it always been there?

Well, I suppose I better get back. Marika (one of my new friends from Finland) and I have decided to go to France over our Easter-holiday! Yay! That's going to be so wonderful! Now I better get back to my book!

I bought a new camera yesterday! Of course I still have my lovely Nikon D40 but that's not exactly a camera one dares to just take outside with no actual reason for it. Hence the purchase of a smaller camera. It may not be the most financial decision I made since I got here but heck, I want pictures of my own ;)

The new camera is a Lumix FS62! It's pretty, new and shiny!

Just because I want to continue with updating LJ I will tell you something I did two nights ago, just so I won't forget to update. Two nights ago, there was a football game - Sweden vs Denmark, which a whole bunch of us decided to go to. Some of us (me) were Swedish, some Finnish and some Danes. Needless to say which team the Swedes cheered on and which the Danes cheered on. The Finnish were divided. The majority were cheering for Sweden but some would just refuse to cheer for Sweden because of our victories in ice-hockey. Isn't that kind of cute in a weird way?

In Sweden there's a tradition, when you graduate, that you and your classmates ride around town in a carriage. This carriage has then been decorated with everything from sheets (where you have written something funny or witty) to branches and such. It's quite a tradition and I am really looking forward to it on Wednesday. We spent the whole of today decorating the carriage for our school (we are so few so one carriage is more than sufficient) and even though it was freezing-cold and only a handful of people had brought material (I was not one of those), I must say that it was very pleasant. Enjoyable even. I couldn't have been more poorly dressed though. I had a short skirt and it was only 10 degrees outside. Sigh, why did I think it would get warmer this morning?

Tomorrow is the final day of school and then we will do some things in front of the whole school - fridizh and I are writing a song (re-writing a "The Junglebook"-song to fit the occasion) and a guy has written a play which they will preform. It's going to be awesome! Then on Wednesday, I graduate!! Can you imagine? Three years have past already! Where has the time gone? What is a girl to do? Haha.

The student ball is today, which makes me slightly nervous to tell you the truth. There is so much to do. For instance, I am going to turn in my computer and hopefully gain a little money in the process. Apparently the school is in need of additional computers and therefore, they offer 700 SEK for the first 10 people who turn in their computers. I really want/need to be one of them. Buying my MacBook really emptied my account. Not that I regret my purchase, it's just not as fun to lack money...

Back to the ball... First off all, a friend of mine who was going with me and my sister, got food poisoning so she doesn't know if she will be able to make it. I also have to know whether or not the weather is going to be awful or not (I so hope not. I don't want rain). While in town, I also have to get pins for my hair, get some lunch, remind a friend about a pair of earrings that I am going to borrow and then go back again. Whilst home, I also have to walk around in my shoes, and they are not meant to be played with (the heel is almost 12 centimetres). Then there are a couple of other tiny things that need sorting out but who cares for the details? Haha.

Also, before I return to my lovely day, I want to know - does anyone know some good music? I want more music recommendations!

I got my MacBook today! Amazing how wonderful it is. It's the aluminium, in case someone missed the previous entries where I ranted about the awesomeness that is my new computer. Of course, I still have a few things to learn but I am very glad that it's finally in my possession! All that's left now is to figure out a name for this new lovely thing... Suggestions?

What else can I say? The student ball (aka prom) is tomorrow, which means that I have a crazy schedule for tomorrow which includes everything from calling people to getting my make-up done. I'll even take the day off so I will have time for everything (though, worth mentioning, I only have one class tomorrow)

Okay I am going to type this entry real fast, since I have to start getting dressed for work and all such things, which in itself isn't that wonderful since the weather is good (meaning: plenty of customers from the get-go).

Last night we saw "The Holiday" after that French film and I have to say: that's a film that grows on you. For instance, when I first saw it, I was distracted by the fact that Cameron Diaz was in it but now... now I hardly minded. She was actually very good but there's no doubt that Kate Winslet was the actual leading lady of the film - despite whatever the poster might incline. Jack Black's performance in this film is also wonderful, making this role one of my favourites (of Jack Black's roles).

In a moment, I will be off and getting dressed, then off to work. After work, I will go to a friend and have a sort-of girls' night - making ourselves pretty for the student ball we have next week (I promise: I will give pictures afterwards!). Oh which reminds me, I have to ask my sister about possibly borrowing her camera (my ex-camera) for the prom! I am really excited!!

Seeing as it's Saturday today, I had work this morning. I started at 10.20 AM, which was almost an hour ahead of schedule - I was supposed to start at 11 AM - and I was done for the day by 7 PM. A very exhausting day to say the least. What made it almost worse was that the weather was impeccable. It was absolutely perfect! To boot, my sister was on the other side of town, swimming! Poor me, huh? ;)

Right now, I am watching "Les voyages du ballon rouge", a French film about a mother who neglects her son and hires a new nanny who turns their lives upside-down, sort of. It's really good but it feels really like you're just looking into their lives. There's not much explaining going on about the characters etc but it's very enjoyable!

Seriously. This abuse has come to an end. I will now, officially, returning to Livejournal. I think, if I remember correctly I had a similar announcement not too long ago but now I have to pull myself together. During my very long absence, I have lost some English (it feels like it always) and I've had some really dull days without your lovely entries and comments.

So in short: I'm back!

Further developments in my life: I have ordered a MacBook Aluminium which will hopefully arrive sometimee next week. I also graduate within the next two weeks (I graduate 10th of June).

Last night I saw "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and I have to say, it was absolutely hilarious. I loved it! Isla Fischer was so much fun and Hugh Dancy as always was completely gorgeous. I recommend that you guys see it, especially if you just want a laugh or feel like someone understand your shopping urges (lol). Review will come in due time.

It's also going to be a quite interesting day for my sister and I. We're home alone because mum and Hany left for Egypt and they'll be gone for two and a half week (yay - I know, right? *sarcasm*) and what's basically happening right now is that we need a few things from the store quite direly, but we are without chance to shop these things today. For example, the cat food is running out and we need more... now? Because in two days, it will be completely gone. Let's cross fingers and hope I won't wake grandmother up when I call her in a few minutes.

It looks like it's Glasgow then. Last night I received an mail from Edinburgh (not UCAS which was sort of strange since it's usually UCAS that notifies the students) letting me know that my application had been rejected. I would definitely lie if I said that I am not a little sad that I didn't get in, I may even have shed a few tears, but what am I suppose to do? I'll move on. The only thing that confused me was the bit of the mail that said that the grades that I had/were expected to achieve weren't high enough - which is complete bullocks since I literally have the highest mark in every subject but two and those two have nothing to do with Politics (and the grade on those are actually the second highest mark so they are not bad either). In order to get some closure I did email about that particular phrase since I highly doubt it was my grades that made them reject me. I have awesome grades thank you every much.

Anyways, now I need to force myself to get excited about Glasgow or Aberdeen. Since I prefer being in a big city, I think I will ultimately go with Glasgow.

I just got to make a quick update before I rush to work (have been working like mad these past few days!) to say: happy birthday lalaland!!! Love you so much and I hope you had the best birthday ever!!!

What's going on guys? Lately I know I have been extremely horrible at updating and this has been the case for the past month. It's almost insane how little time you can have even though hardly anything has changed - work load-wise that is.

Basically, what I have been doing is school, work and friends. I suppose that sort of summarize it all rather smoothly. After school, I have had school work, I have also started a Fairtrade ambassador-course which I have on Mondays and then I have been working. Quite hectic but that's the way we want it, right?

Last night I was also with a couple of friends and we went out partying. It was really nice. There was music and loads of people so there was really no excuse for not dancing. Yay! Since this morning, I have also snapped a few pictures with my lovely camera (I will show them later on I think) and seen a bit of "The City".

As far as universities go, nothing's changed yet. Practically dying over here but I am keeping my fingers crossed. Edinburgh... Man, I want to go there so badly I can't even say it. However, I am fully prepared to face a rejection as well but it's not what I am hoping for. I am well at ease with my other choices as well.

Where have I been? Good question. Where have I actually been? Not here that's for sure. God, I really want to update. I want to have the energy to update every second and tell you all the awesome things that are occurring in my life right now - but there's nothing special going on at the moment. School, work, everything else... It's so plain it's sad. I am feeling anxious about various things in my life (like actually learning how to drive a car - something that I have lost every interest in because mum is being completely stupid) but there's nothing to share. Not that's interesting. I am also in a complete shopping-spree mode, which makes my bank account cry but I need it. I have to spend money this month. February sucks because it's the coldest month of the year.

I have cut my hair though... Short. I suppose that's something.

When it comes to TV shows, I have almost stopped watching all of them. It's horrible but I have lost the feel for most of them. They are just going downhill. Those I do watch are Skins, 90210, The Mentalist, The Lipstick Jungle (YES I have started watching that show despite being ashamed of the fact but Kerby makes me happy, he's so pretty) and Dollhouse (OMG!! Saw the pilot just now and it was aaaaawwwesome!!!!!!!!!! MUST SEE!).

Also, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO EVERYONE! I love you all ♥ and I still do read entries but I fail at comment ;)

I am totally boring now, aren't I? ;)

Yes, I am alive. Although I can understand it if you can't really tell. I haven't been able to update that much due to work and school. Until yesterday I had a test to write over the weekend whilst working 6 hours on Saturday and 7,5 hours on Sunday - needless to say it was a challenge. But somehow I managed to solve it. It's now turned in and even though I am not 100% certain of how it went, it doesn't feel too good.

On the university front, I can say that I have got one rejection (St Andrews) and even though it might just sting a little bit, it wasn't entirely unexpected. Now, all I have to hear from is Edinburgh and I really, really want to go there. Otherwise I think Glasgow or Aberdeen are good alternatives.

Later today I also have an appointment at a hairdresser! Yay! No more split ends and finally something resembling a hair style rather than merely having some hair on my head ;)

OMG! Guess what people? I have got my third offer!! This time around it's from Aberdeen and it's the same offer as the one I received from Glasgow (average VG). Yay! Now it's only two universities left - and they are my favourite ones!! Keep your fingers crossed!

Why does people have to be sick? I don't know but it really sucks. After Sunday, I was completely exhausted and now... let's just say I have felt better. It's almost like I have a fever and the beginning of something worse but I have decided to not declare defeat. I hate being like this.

The downside of being productive and being somewhat of a control freak when it comes to school assignments is basically that you don't have anything to do at times. True enough, I have things to do but what I can do for most of the time (read: my project) is something that I am going to do later on, after my final class. Therefore I am now without mission. Without aim. Without anything concrete to do. This tragic turn of events has led me to Livejournal in hopes of reading plenty of interesting entries. But what do I find? No updates! ;)

Alright, jokes aside. I am really bored. I want something to do. If I was at home, I could take some pictures, read my book ("Mig Äger Ingen") or something else but since I am at school, the possibilities are limited. Not to mention that I need a new project. Like my upcoming blog, but it's at the moment put on hold for a number of reasons. It's coming though.

Any suggestions folks?
