So not ready for this!

It is now 2 hours till I got to be at Uni for our welcome back meeting blahblah, which means that today the summer is officially over for me. Even tho it feels like I’ve had time off for ages, which I have, it also kinda feels like we just split up for the summer. Very strange and mixed feeling. I am not ready to say goodbye to summer just yet, but there is no way around it really, so I just have to suck it up and deal with it. I guess it will be good getting back into some sort of routine, and actually have stuff to do. I just need to be better this year, especially when it comes to the research part. I hate doing research, scanning the odd-smelling library for books to use when I don’t even really know how to use them. I can complain as much as I like, but it is got to be done unfortunately. Back to Uni would mean less;

Drinking...

..clubbing..

While it would however mean more;

Also, I joined a gym yesterday! Waaay go me!

Today and then tomorrow..

It has been amazing weather in the West Midlands today, sunny and warm. This fact surprising both me and Ida, where we were walking around town, sorting out stuff. First we went by the finance building at the University of Wolverhampton, paying some tuition fees, something that really hurt my bank account, it is now in fact crying. Then we went by the international office and sorted out some other stuff, before heading to the library where we booked the hostel for tomorrow. You see, we’re heading down south, to the wonderful city of London. A few days getaway, gonna be ‘aze no doubt. So if I’m not around online much these next few days, you know why. Will be back sometime on Thursday, expect a wicked update about our trip.

Enjoying awesome summerlike weather...

Btw, I have added a few photos to my photography blog, photos I took today around in my gorgeous second hometown that is Wolverhampton.

And with that, there’s only one thing to say;

London baby!

Oh and yeah, I was gonna go to bed way earlier, but because of our rather sucky internet, writing this blog entry took me like 7 years or so to finish…

Holiday Away ‘09

So I came across this blog with a nice little photo challenge about highlights of your holiday away this summer. You post pictures of yourself from your holiday, with a nice little headline showing people some highlights. Tho atm I can’t seem to find the link to the blog where I found it, if I do, I’ll edit it in later on. My holiday away was in good ol’ Egypt if you remember, so here’s some highlights from that.

Success I’d say!

Oh those lovely mornings!

I’ve been nothing but a huge smile these two last mornings at work. I don’t really tend to be the happiest little cheery that early having to clean houses and oldies, but I can’t help grinning when the days starts with gorgeous morning sun. Last morning I even went out photographing before work. This around 06:30 am and believe me, that doesn’t happen often!

blogoao

Finally some Summer again!! Just hoping it’ll last through the weekend so I can enjoy it more. I’m off for an early nighter for once, tweet tweet.

Ps, remember to get your photo in for my contest!

Those lovely summer days

I went to Levanger, also known as ‘Slow City’ go figures, to visit Monica yesterday. We had a lovely day with awesome weather, wicked food, epic cameras and awful singing. Since indeed the weather was pleasant, we went for not one, but two walks, and of course our beloved cameras had to come with us.

For dinner we had salad with pita, I do loooove my pita, and ice tea. Then a bit later we ate strawberries, which was very yummy. We got a new high score on Shake It on Singstar, got over 9000 points, yay us! Was a lovely day indeed. For more pics and such from this day, check out my sisters blog.

Thursday hangout

I love summer...

I love summer...

What is the best thing about summer? For me it is the possibility of the weather being somewhat sunny and warm (I really do hate being cold), hanging out with mates, BBQ’s and drinking. √

A friend of mine, Lars, wanted us to do something yesterday after I’d finished work, so when I got home and after having a nice shower, dressed in a rather ugly towel, he called, asking if I still were up for maybe a BBQ. Having no other plans except staying at home, possibly be very bored, of course I said yes. Around 20-30 minutes passed before he came to pick me up in his gorgeous BMW cab. We then went to pick up IdaPida, went shopping for some food to actually throw on the barbecue, he being a gentleman paying for the whole shabang. Went to Steinkjer to pick up the other Ida before heading home to Lars, making food. Okay Lars did most, I did however make a delicious salad to go with the chicken. It was very yummy indeed.

Triming off some of that amazing food we played a bit of Frisbee, we actually got quite good! As I had work today, I didn’t stay out too late, and were nicely tucked into my bed before midnight.

What do you love to do on those hot summer days?

Summer!

It just hit me that today is the last day of May, which would mean that tomorrow is the first day of June! Crazy how fast time flies by the older you get, and I’m only 20, so by the time I’m 40 will I even have time to celebrate my birthday before it’s christmas?! Being almost June already means the summer is pretty much here, and these last two days have been amazing weather-wise, tho it is said to be raining again by Tuesday. Go figures seeing as I have to drive to work then.. Bleh. Tomorrow isn’t just the first of June, but also a week away from Egypt! I’m glad time moves so fast, cause this trip is something I am really looking forwards to, I have enormous expectations, I hope I won’t be disappointed. Bad side to it is that it most likely will move just as fast or maybe even faster when we’re there, meaning we’ll be back home again in no time. Booo to that. But then again, that means summer gone like that, back in Wolves in no time!

Summer have always been my favorite season as I hate being cold, and frankly, I am cold pretty much always except on warm summer days or when I’m so drunk I can’t really tell if I’m cold or not. This season has so many amazing memories like going camping with my family all around Sweden. It might sound a bit dull, but to me it is memories I wouldn’t be without. Okay, sitting hours on hours in a hot, crowded car may not be heaven, but our parents have always been good with finding activities and taken us places to see and experience things. I thank them for that, for not just dragging us to a beach somewhere, only moving our lazy bums when going for a drink or something to eat. It is nice to actually feel like you have been different places, by going sightseeing, finding what is special for that exact place. If all you care to see is just a beach and some green water, you might as well stay put one place and don’t bother going anywhere else. So are you going camping this summer as well then you might ask. No, I have only one vacation planned for this summer, and that is Egypt. What will I do there? Lay on the beach and work on my tan, when not swimming in the green water or going for something to eat and/or drink of course!

Sweden is summer, swedish music gives me that summer feeling I need to start packing my suitcase full of bikinis. I heard this one on the radio yesterday, a good old Swedish summer song, awfully difficult to sing, yet I sing along!

Håkan Hellström – Kom igen, Lena!

I was just going to post Håkan’s song but when snooking around on different blogs I came across a blog entry (see it here) with another swedish summer wibe song called Ser Jag Tjock Ut I Den Här (do I look fat in this one?) which I thought was pretty cute, so I’m gonna leave you with that one as well. Enjoy.

What happened to my dashboard? It now looks all fancy and blue. I like it :D

So like most times I don’t know what I’m gonna write about, so let’s talk some more about that. Whenever I am bored I seem to do this, blogging I mean, but I don’t mind, cause I love my blog. My blog is fierce. Tho I am a bit tired of the layout, might change it. Again. 

Tomorrow it’s Friday, and that means only one – 1 – week left of my first year at University! That’s mental, I feel like we just started for crying out loud. I’m almost done with all projects except the last one, but that will be okay, I’ll get that done no worries. Gonna miss my class mates over the break, we’ve got some kick ass people starting the second year in September I tell you. Hope you all will have a great summer, don’t forget about the Norwegian one please! I’ll miss you.

Today is Sarah’s birthday, our immature little brat has now turned 19(!) and tomorrow we’ll come with presents and drinks, for some nice food and company. Should be fun. Yet another I will miss during summer. I love you hun.

Here at home in our house the bugs are having a blast, especially in the bathroom. I must admit I won’t miss them that awfully lot this summer. Actually the opposite if I may say so. That goes for the big bug as well. Period several times a month much?! Djeez..

I went shopping yesterday, once again, this time alone so all pressure were on me. I was looking for light blue or gray jeans, found some in Primark, but bleh, they didn’t look good. So I went by TK Maxx, where I couldn’t find any. I did however find a green shorts thingy, picked it up, then went upstairs to the mens wear, where I found another shorts, tried them both on, and oh, the guy-shorts were pretty epic. I bought it. Then Ida has the nerve to say I only bought it because it’s like a Dougie shorts. Bullshit! I actually liked it and it is a Dougie shorts tjihi Let me take a picture for you.

I just checked out that Blazin Squad’s new single, that’s out in June I think, it’s pretty good actually. But I was sure they had split years ago lol. Apparently not. Now it’s only like 5-6 of them, compared to the camp they used to be. I’m not fussed, the fittest ones are still there, Lee and Kenzie. ANd oh boy, that Kenzie has become FINE… Yum, my newest friend on facebook haha xD But seriously, I’m drooling. He could be a guy for Camilla I reckon..

 With that exotic look, brown eyes and killer body… Hmm, I change my mind, I don’t think Camilla would fancy him. At all.

I had more to say, but it’s getting late, going to the tanning saloon tomorrow morning so need sleep. Niiiight
