update 11/2
yesterday i sent in my application for exchange, my choices were put in following order:
1. Milan, Italy
2. Vienna, Austria
3. Prague, Czech Republic
on the 18th of feb i will know the answer to where i have been accepted. its gonna be interesting to see how they decide over my future.
this is the fabulous picture i sent with my application ;)we aslo went to play curling with the marketing class, it was much fun, some were really good (for being the first time) and some had more difficulties, including me, though i have to say that i mad my team win once out of two time so i don't think they could complain ;)
and the super heroes on ice!
cheers
before and after
it is nice to be at my parents' house after a long and tough semester. the christmas was quite calm with no guests this time which made it possible jsut to take it easy. i actually didn't even by presents, im trying to catch up with that now ;) i got a really nasty cold right before i left uppsala and thus didn't have energy to shop.
now a very close family is here from another city with their twin boy and girl so i have the opportunity to play nanny ;) and i have to confess that im glad i don't have children at the moment, its tough work. so these days im trying to make myself study but its difficult. so in the meantime im trying to look forward for the new year filled with lots of experiences!
cheers
saturday no taco day
so its not friday it is saturday today... next weekend school will finally be over, i cant wait! but first this week has to be survived: what doesnt kill you makes you stronger right? :P
so today i bought this saralee pizza kit which includes the dough and some sauce (which is quite salty so i don't like it, but the dough is quite good and so easy to do :) ) i had some ham in, mozarella, pineapple and pesto so a pretty good meal ;)
now i will relax in front of some movie...
cheers
2 dec
im waiting for the weekend. even if i need to study but a weekend is a weekend no matter what! so im sitting in my bad preparign for a test we have tomorrow. hopefully it wont be that awful, but who knows. the problem is that i havent really studied for it and we also have an opportunity to do it next friday, but next week is totally crazy so i probably wont have time to do it. and it would feel so nice just to be doen with it! im i taking the right decision?
im considering going to the shop ad by some lussekatter (saffron buns) because they are just so nice, and maybe what i need to cheer me up... but should i cheer myself up by eating, maybe not.. well we'll see ;)
cheers
a beautiful day
yesterday we were in stockholm at nielsen company. they are a world wide company that makes consumers surveys of fast moving products, that is foods and hygien prodcuts. so they measure everything thats is being bought in this country an supplies compnaies with possible strategies according to consumers' behvaior. intresting right? :)
so today its saturday. i slept very well and it was really pleasent not have to wake up and special time. it has snowed quite much and everything is covered in white pluffy snow. since its advent tomorrow christmas feelings are hanging in the air. love it! :)
cheers
saffron
tomorrow we will go with the marketing class to another company to listen to some number of products on the market. we don't really know actually what it is about, the teachers are quite bad at informing. its is incredible that teachers cant accomplish such a simple thing as giving correct and on time information. what ever, what else could be expected when there is no school fees? (yes, i know we should be able to rely on this perfect swedish tax system)
so on sunday it is finally first of advent. i like when its advent becuase then its allright to eat ginger cookies (pepparkakor), saffron buns (lussekatter) and drink julmust and glögg :) but then of course there is the cheating part. so yesterday i bought saffron gifflar. they are niiice :) i hope that there will be some baking done during the weekend. would be sweeet :)
cheers
windy day
yes it's cold outside.. its very windy! i don't know if i like it. im glad im not 10 years old anymore and are compelled to go outside during the breakes. that was so bad, wasn't it?! omg! especially when it was -20 or lower. damn! wouldn't do that today for sure! ;)
so talking about cold, i have bought a new jacket :) i found a quite simple black jacket at carlings, but i like it since i'm nut found of too much. but the jacket has gold buttons, so it has some different features :) its of Elvine brand and the model is called Gunnel. quite funny right? ;)
Cheers
unilever
today i have been to school finsihing some group work. it doesn't feel ok to be at school on weekends. so i feel that i deserve a really nice evening with some lovely dinner at tv or something else :)
cheers
monday it is
so the diploma cermony went just fine, i didn't fall of stage :) later during the evening we went with my parents and brother to a very nice restaurant (peppar peppar for anyone who is interested). we had lovely food and very tasty wine :)
i didn't have time to study (or didn't want to) during the weekend which i have to pay for knoe, but it just not fair that we haven't had any free days at all, not even during halloween. its tough to keep up 24/7 and keep the motivation, espacially when the teachers fail big. there is big lack in the communication and when trying to ask the teachers to inform us better so we can stress less, they just make fool of us instead of helping! insane....
so need to get back to studying now...yeay!
cheers
diploma cermony
i mean, anyone there? i know i suck at this blogging and i have no idea why i even bother to have a blog. why do people have blogs? why are we so interested in other peoples' lives? i don't know. any way if you think that what i write is interesting you are more then welcome to read it ;)
so where to begin. im on the masters programme within management and marketing. 2 years to go! yeay! (?) but first of all, i have already struggeled for 3 years so i have diserved (at least the school thinks so apparently) a diploma. i know i will get one after my masters, but then i thought why not have 2 diplomas? :) or if i wouldn't finish my masters i will still have a diploma.... right? yes....
i just really hope i wont fall or do something other embarrassing! keep you fingers crossed
cheers

june
so i have finally finshed my thesis. it has taken a lot of time and energy to pull it together but one has to do what one has to do. so im back know i
snow snow snow ur boat
but i have been really busy. lot of school work and nothing over for fun stuff. im writing so much on this computer sp why would i want to do it voluntarily? =P
ok so this is how thing are.... it is snowing!! everyhting is getting white! its really stupid, i have no idea what happened! i meen i know that this would be of that big of suprise in the northern parts, but come on upstairs, give us a rest from this white stuff folloing down from the sky, we dont want it! we want the sun! :)
ok so much from me for now!
good night adn take care! and put on some warm clothes!
Chanel
we have alot of great brand names as chanel, dior, gucci, armani, louis vuitton etc... but how are they able to distinguish themselves? do people know what is different between the products that is recieved? or is it just the label, the name everyone is buying? i think it is very interesting to follow this progress beacuse i consider that many, if affordable, try to buy themselves their image through fashion and it is their clothes and accessories that determine one's social status. and of course that is how it worked back in the days as well, but i sweden at least we are not supposed to have these social levels. we do not talk about how much we earn, how much we have spent on different things, but we love to show off with our belongings!
i think this is an interesting behaviour at least. we live in a world of mass production. we are expected to consume. and so we do!
