What would I like to wear today?
During a break in the studying I ended up at net-a-porter.com looking at the fabulous clothes and accessories you could order if you weren't a student...or a normal working person either for that matter.
Anyway...I invented a new game called: What would I like to wear today?
Anyway...I invented a new game called: What would I like to wear today?
Here is today's result (feel free to give me any of the items as a Christmas gift!):
Clutch bag by Fendi
Clutch bag by Fendi
Bracelet by Juicy Couture
Neclace by Juicy Couture
Shoes by Marc Jacobs
Dress by Dolce & Gabbana
At least it doesn't cost anything to dream!
New shoes!
Yesterday I decided that I "needed" a pair of new shoes! They look really good to both jeans and a dress/skirt!
I've just finished writing some Christmas cards...Unfortunately I won't send as many as usual, so some of you might get an e-mail instead this year... I hope I will be back in business next year!
Now I need to go to town and finish the last Christmas gifts... after that I'll be sitting with the books and maybe do some laundry...wohoo, what a lovely Saturday!

The sun?
I can not believe what I see...Sun rays are touching my balcony!! Is this for real or is someone playing with me?
I can't remember when I last saw the sun...I think I need to go outside for a while...I know I should study, but you never know when the sun will be out next time and I need every bit of energy I can get right now.

The concert and some thinking
Peter Jöback Oh, Peter Jöback... It was a great concert!
He sings even better live...his voice is..is...no, I won't even try to explain how wonderful his voice is...there is just no word that can describe it justly.
In between the songs he said some true things, like every performer do on a Christmas concert, about peace, taking care of the ones you love, making time for reflection and living right here and right now...
When I think about it...the happiest times in life, and the times you always will remember ,are the times when you lived in the very moment...not thinking about the next year, the tomorrow or the next minute.
When someone ask me to think of a happy place my mind always ends up at a street in Merida, Mexico. On that street, that Sunday night in April 2005 I lived in the very moment. I didn't think of anything...I just let everything flow...and it was so easy. It was so easy because I knew that I had to live it or lose it, just like that...there was only right here and right now...
I know that you can not always live for the moment...you have to make plans most of the time to survive in this world. But I do wish I could have more nights like the one in Merida... nights you wish would never end... and nights that will always stay a happy moment, no matter what the future brings.
And one more thing... I wish I could go to a Peter Jöback Christmas concert every night...all year around!
Enough for tonight...see you tomorrow...Good night...sleep tight...x

Relaxing tuesday
I've had a really relaxing day today. Just what I needed! Maybe I didn't really have time...but I made some...
Haven't really done anything useful at all...except picking up the exam and the concert-tickets for tomorrow night.
I went over to I's place for tea, saffron buns and quality time. Hadn't seen or talked to her for ages. So that was really nice.
Well...
...it's dinner time now.
I just realized that I have only eaten two sandwiches for breakfast and then two saffron buns so far today...hmm...not good. But the weird thing is that I'm not really hungry...
....anyhow...After dinner I'm gonna place myself by the computer again and write 700 words and make two diagrams for the clinical improvement work. Booooring!

Poker face?
I just love the David and Goliath characters, especially Trendy-Wendy.I've had, for some reason, this picture and quote on my mind today...
...and you know what, it put a big smile on my face, and made this day a fun day!!
By the way... I passed the clinical exam...

It's a fact...
Well it's a fact...didn't pass the exam...so it's time to take out the fucking books again.
Goodbye lovely Christmas holiday...but hey, there will come a Christmas holiday next year right?
There is one thing that bugs me and that is that 41 % didn't pass this exam...according to the exam statistics 23 % didn't pass the "same" exam last semester.
To me these figures are quite suspect...and it makes me fucking furious!!
My question is: Are we, in my class, really that much more stupid than the students in course 3 where last year?
Probably not...the problem is not my or the other the failed students knowledge...The problem is the fact that we are the Guinea pigs of a new curricula.
But what can I do about it?
Christmas is already ruined, there is lots of snow outside this morning and I'm working the whole fucking weekend in Motala.
Well, to be honest...I'm thinking about calling in sick...I just can not be bothered today. I need to think...think about doing something else, something that makes sense at least every now and then.
I'm not sure I'm motivated enough to become a nurse...It's not my dream and it damn sure isn't my passion...

Wouldn't it be great...
Wouldn't it be great if you had like your own coach, just like, for example, the football teams have.
A coach that calls for time out when you are playing really, really lousy and unmotivated. And during the time out tell you all about the plan he has worked out to make you get back on track.
A coach that will make you change place with someone else because he can see that you're not in the right position at the field and make sure you get the position that really suits you and bring out the best of you.
A coach that will pep talk you in to a career in a higher league.
Maybe Svennis would be interested in the position of my personal coach if I asked him ?!

Friday night + Song of the day
It's finally friday night!
I need to clean the flat...so it's not a party night, but it still is FRIDAY NIGHT!!!
I bought Peter Jöback's new Christmas Album last week...and I love it. I listen to it in the car while driving to Motala. Song of the day is a song from that album. A duet with Peter and Sarah Dawn Finer and the song is Min bön (The prayer). Beautiful song...and Peter is still so gourgeous you could cry!!
Tomorrow morning 7.55 I'm off to Stockholm.

Morning has broken
Took a shower last night so the alarm didn't go off until 4.30 this morning (or should I write night?!)
This is not human....I want to go back to bed!!

Home sweet home...
I just love coming home after two days at the hospital. Turn on the stars in the windows. and light some candles. Unpack the bags and check my email while boiling up some water. Then make a cup of tea and finally place myself in the sofa in front of the telly...OHH, IT'S HEAVEN!!
The placement is going just fine this period. It feels good and I haven't had any complaints. Last weekend I had two patients that I was responsible for on my shift. Today I had four. My tutor is helping me of course when I need it.
Tomorrow is my last working day this week.
On Saturday morning I'm taking the bus to Stockholm to visit sis and E. My plan is to do some Christmas shopping and interview E for a school assignment . I'm really looking forward to a weekend off...or almost off!

The day of the exam - and what a crazy exam...it gave me a bad headach that's still torturing me. I spent the afternoon shopping with I. Bought a dress, a t-shirt, leggings and two vests at Gina Tricot, major grocery shopping at Maxi, mini-light strand for the balcony and two cerise christmas tree balls (even though I don't have a Christmas tree) at Rusta and lots of candles at IKEA. I felt so worth all that shoppig!! And It felt so good to have a full fridge again. I went to bed early that night...

I love a full fridge!
Wednesday
The alarm clock rang at 4.15 am. Lovely...absolutely lovely...NOT! But nothing to about that more than to get up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast and get out to the car and drive all the way to Motala...(I thank the guy who invented the car and mom for letting me have hers during my placement time!) They let me finish one hour early at the hospital so I was back in linköping around 3 pm. Did some "christmas decoration" in the flat and on the balcony. After that I cleaned the flat properly...something I hadn't done for weeks!

Thursday
Day off! Finally! Had million things to do...but half of it never got done. At least I finished the Cuba album on the computer and sent it away for printing. (Got an e-mail from fujicolor today saying it is on it's way...yay!!) I made a lot of lunch boxes, put the stars up in my windows...and then of course I looked for a stupid CD to my computer...turned the whole flat upside down...without any luck! Wonderful and clever J came over and fixed my computer that night...it took quite some time...because I hadn't found that stupid CD...and I went to bed at 2.45 am.

Tuesday - today
Woke up at 10 am. Me and A hade decided last week to start with our placement - project that we have to finish before Christmas today but A sent me a text last night that she had other plans for today...and maybe we could meet up an other day? AN OTHER DAY??? It's not like we have a 1000 days to choose between...our hospital schedules are not really synced and she lives in Motala and I live in Linköping...but hey what can I do. I tried to start with the project on my own...it didn't go very good since we havn't decided everything about the subject yet and everything is very unclear.
Ohhh...I've been so sick of this studying situation today...and so sick of group-projects...and sick of group members that you haven't chosen yourself.
So after a breakdown around lunchtime time I decided to take the day off from school. Why should I take responsible for this project. I just cannot do everything by myself...I wish I was more irresponsible...I will work on that from now on...
So...what have keeping me busy all afternoon then?
Well... I've made a chocolate and banana cake and watched 6 episodes of Sex and the city...after this The bold and the beautiful episode I'm watching at the moment I'm cooking dinner and then I'm gonna watch some more Sex and the city...
