DO YOU KNOW THAT EVERYTIME YOUR NEAR EVERYBODY ELSE SEEMS FAR AWAY









Hoobastank - Disappear

chiropractic, yes please.

My landlord tog me and Brittany to her chiropractor this afternoon for some serious backcracking. believe me, it was. My 3day long headache is now gone and my back feels so good. for 20 dollars only.

Today, I had my first psychology test. Turned out pretty good, I'll have to wait til monday to see the results though (cross your fingers!)

I'm so tired! I've barely been sleeping at all this week. Going from work-class-work-homework-ceramics studio (take away one, add another).

I salute this weekend. You are very well needed. I need sleep, and maybe ice-skating tomorrow! :D

meatball making

So on Monday we made Swedish meatballs at Nathalie's House. Erin got so excited when when Nathalie asked her if she wanted to mix everything and roll the meatballs. So funny!
Good thing she got to experience a Swedish dish with Nathalie, while I enjoyed homemade mashed potatoes and salad :P haha

Erin is pretty much a pro-roller by now.

BRICKS & BREAKS

We had plans on clubbing this weekend, but they didn't happend. brittany didn't feel well.
BUT, we did go to Haleiwa Eats with Nathalie and Christa. I LOVE HALEIWA EATS! I would by a ticket from Sweden to Hawaii, go to Haleiwa Eats and then back to Sweden again, just for their Thaifood. thats how much I love Haleiwa Eats. Tips: Mussaman Curry w/ Shrimps & Sticky Rice.

Anyways, this weekend, as most weekends, have been very good. I took my history homework and Nathalie with me to Waimea Beach. Went to Walmart, since we were already halfway there, and then stopped at Kava Roots for my first back-to-Hawaii Acai Bowl (SO GOOD!).

The rest of Saturday was spent with finishing up Psychology&Visual design homework, then running over to Shelby's place with Paul to watch Titanic. Yes, I know, but Shelby had never seen Titanic.

Sunday hasen't been too exciting. But we have had major cake-baking going on in our house. Brittany made a Strawberry cake w/chocolate frosting and Shelby&Tessa made home-made Oreos.

I'm ready for a new week.. almost.

:]
Peace

Can you believe that I was playing this song on repeat last night until I fell asleep? I can. So good.

psychology.. eat my brain out.

I've figured out why I'm not following in my psychology class.. I'm a days reading behind everyone else: I have absolutely no idea of how that happened.. but for some reason, even though I've looked at my reading assignment paper, I've fallen a day behind.

NOt only do I have 25 pages from my missed reading assignment to do, but an extra 25 for tomorrows class. KILL ME! Time to bring out my skim-reading skills and my marker, start marking definitions like crazy and let go of that "be-good-read-everything" principle thats nibbling on my brain.

The Brain and theNervous System was it?.. yeah.. FOCUS!

This is the book.

Good thing: I'll be hanging out with the sweet Michelle Fawcett this afternoon. SO LOOKING FORWARD!

Beloved Hawaii.

So, I'm back in Hawaii. Settled at Paradise Place (in front of School of Education). I have food, sheets, schoolbooks, a hand-me-down bike (with a flat tire.. haha) and have pretty much bumped in to all my friends these past days. I've been hanging out a lot with Paul and Nathalie, though.

this weekend I finally got to go to the beach for real, and did my psychology homework there starting the day at Hukilau with Nathalie, then dropping her off, and Paul meeting me up at Temple. We made sandcastles :] .

I love my Visual Design class, and History has turned out to be quite interesting. Psychology is.. well, psychology, and Ceramics & Eternal Marriage should be fun.

My car is not itself. The cooling system is not really working, and as soon as it's gonna be driven, I'll have to put gallons of water in the engine. It needs fixing, and I'm not so excited about that.


This is where I live. Come over at any time! :D

2010 - WELCOME!

Last Nights New Years Party was so much fun. Although the music weren't that good, the people certainly were. I'm so happy to have celebrated the coming of a New Year with them! Last year, at this time, I was in Las Vegas, which is probably why last year was so good too!

No New Years resolutions. They only make people paranoid at the end of the year, which is why I haven't had any for.. ages. My goal will instead be to maintain my motto "to never say anything about someone that you wouldn't tell them face-2-face".

This year I've become better at: organize, tell people what they mean to me and to be more open with my feelings (well, except for anger that is, haha).

Year 2009:
Jan: Leaving Las Vegas for a last semester at BYU Hawaii. Get to know Brittany.
Feb: School continues, I spend most of my time in the Math Lab.
Mars: Brittany & Heathers Birthdays, party held at TB.
April: Leave Hawaii to go home to Sweden again. A bridal shower is held for my childhood friend Amanda.
May: My sister Sabine turns 20. Graduation party รก la Stephanie. Realize that FIDM will be WAY too expensive and decide to stay in Sweden. Apply for The Pattern cutter Program.
June: Steph graduates. I get a job.
July: Got accepted to the Pattern Cutter Program. I go as a leader for a YW/YM conference! Start to think that it might be nice to go back to Hawaii again, and start to re-apply.
Aug: Visit Paul & Brittany in Oregon. A roadtrip to San Francisco. School Starts! Got re-admitted to BYU Hawaii.
Sep: I turn 22 and celebrate with great measures. Get to know a whole bunch of cool people from YSA, like Miriam and Marlene. Start Applying for Scholarships.
Oct: Get 2 new jobs. One back att Espresso House and a new one at the baby/childrens clothing store Floralin&Junior. Start registering for classes.
Nov: Work 24/7. Get scholarships from BYU Hawaii and start arranging for living.
Dec: Work, but not 24/7. School ends, and I get an Honoring Award with a diploma and a gift certificate. Celebrations in different places and in different ways are held to enlight the month of December. Packing for Hawaii starts.

All that is left to do now is pack, pack like a maniac. There are piles of clothes on my ironing board and on my carry-on bag. United airlines make you pay for your second bag! If I'd bought my ticket in september, my second bag would've been free... 50 dollar for a second bag. GOSH! I hope the people at Arlanda Airport here in Sweden let me have my second bag for free anyways. One can only hope.

All done for the New years Part last night, with false eyelashes and all. :)

Happy New Year, and see you soon!
