Closer to the end...
…End of the year!
I’m so tired right now, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix is running in the background. Right now, I’d still prefer flicking through Tumblr’s kindle-tagged posts than watching that movie. In my opinion it is unfortunately the worst of the bunch. Then again, I am no big fan of the Harry Potter-movies. I’m too biased when it comes to...

ENFJ -- > ESTJ?
I’m intrigued.
I think it was three years ago I took the Jung/Briggs Meyers’ personality test for a school-thing. My result at the time, if I remember correctly, was being an ‘ENFJ’- Extraverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging- also known as The Giver.
‘As an ENFJ, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how you feel...

Reading and books and kindles and other things...
I’m pretty sure looking through Tumblr’s tagged directory for ‘reading’ and ‘kindle’ is one of the most addictive things I’ve done today.
Here I’ve been sitting on my butt for most of the evening, with half my face paralyzed from the stupid anesthesia I got at the dentists’ this afternoon, scrolling through page after page of kindle-posts....

Odontophobia?
I somehow managed to pry my eyes open, roll out of bed, gulp down some müsli with yogurt, and head to the dentist’s office all between the times of 7:30 and 8:30 AM. I’m in a bit of a zombie-mode right now, I can’t exactly say I’m properly awake at this time, and sleeping before 3 AM was definitely no easy feat for me last night. I think I finally fell asleep at around...

Booklist of 2012?
I know I’m nowhere close to finishing off my reading list I’d set up for this year, but scratch that- I’m a little worn out from all the Robin Hobb books. Not that they aren’t any good, it just takes a toll on one who isn’t accustomed to reading any heavier fantasy than Harry Potter to suddenly jump into Hobb’s [albeit lighter form of fantasy] works.
I think...

Food, food, train. Repeat.
As I somehow managed to go to bed pretty late again last night, I woke up just in time for an early lunch that consisted of my own thrown-together concoction of:
whole-wheat spaghetti, pan-fried garlic salami, chorizo and garlic cloves along with some cool cherry tomatoes.
Best lunch I’ve had all week, if I may say so myself.
After lunch I got straight to making the dough of what I...

The worst planner in the world...
Why do my plans never turn out the way I hoped? [They just…fail me..]
I had made sure I’d be able to train with at least 1 or 2 of my friends this week, and am left with 0 both today and yesterday. I was supposed to start cramming and bake today but ended up sitting in the car, reading for 1 1/2 hours while waiting for my grandparents at the supermarket….. And I was hoping...

Picking up those weights again...
I cleaned my room today! How startling is that?
Okay, I still have a long way to go, but at least I kept all my clothes away and most of my jewelry is stored away as well….And my bags are no longer cluttering the floor- so that, at least counts for something, right?
As planned, I went for bodypump-class at 4 PM. I did not think before booking myself in at the gym at the mall, seeing as the...

Christmas Day 2011
We were watching Harry Potter 7, both movies, last night- and I didn’t sleep until around 3 AM. This resulted in all three of us oversleeping this morning, leaving us with 30 minutes to eat breakfast, getting dressed for church and actually leaving for the 12 PM mass.
We made it somewhat in time, I guess we were 2 minutes late or so, and mass ended almost as quickly as it had started.

Christmas Break
I’ve been flapping around everywhere since Christmas break started. I spent a full day with my girlfriends on Thursday, from early noon til late at night.
I was in town for lunch followed by some cocoa with Malin, for once we had hours and hours of stress-free time to catch up and just hang around. It was different for a change, and really nice.
Sofia showed up in town around 7 PM for...

Late-night realisations...
I’m so mentally exhausted I barely know what I’m doing right now.
I’ve completely thrown all my math books and notes aside and am just staring out past my computer screen.
I was in Lund both yesterday and today, revising maths. I have to be honest and say that my average productivity level from the whole of last week to this, was nothing compared to my last-minute cramming...

Should I be worried..?
Before I shoot off to bed, I couldn’t go without sharing this quick thing:
“All of us who wants Ashley to write the exam in her pikachu-suit clap now!”
Followed by 20+ comments of people saying ‘clap’ …..
It’s all in great fun but I’m suspecting that I kind of have to show up in that pikachu-outfit now… [I think I somehow accidentally made...

Social weekends
This weekend has mostly been about meeting up with people, and it was so nice to see everyone again, from all our social circles.
On Saturday it was little Neyo’s birthday, he’s now one years old! Time really flies, I remember Christmas Eve last year when we went to visit Sissie and the family and he was only a week old. He looks just like his father and you really can’t tell...

"I dreamed a dream in time gone by..."
It was great catching up with Blanka again. It was so great I definitely had to mention it in this post after having mentioning it in the previous one. [Repetition harms no one…]. We must’ve watched about 6 different versions of Les Misérables’ ‘I dreamed a dream’.
And now I’m watching the ending credits to You’ve Got Mail, mummy just watched the whole...

Cramming
I intended to write these past few days, guess I forgot all about it.
I’ve been caught up with maths for the past two days. I got some done on Monday but not as much as I’d wished to for Tuesday. I had intended on going for shape-class on Tuesday morning, 6:45 AM to be exact, because I remember the few times Adrian and I went for 6 AM spinning-classes way back when. It was amazing...

Christmas-y Sunday shopping
I decided to break up my last post a bit, in fear of my blog being covered in huge walls of text again.
I just thought I’d show you what we got today.
At Yves-Rocher: A cleansing milk from pure calmille, and a shower gel from their Noël-series. I got a free necklace from my membership points, yay!
Free necklace from Yves-Rocher.
The owl necklace we got at the Christmas market.

Christmas-y Sundays
Today has been a busy kind of day.
I woke up at 9, missed the bus I’d planned to get me to the gym on time and ended up taking another bus that got me there 5 minutes before my first class started, giving me 2 minutes to get changed and run into the training room. I was just in time, and proud of it. Probably a little blurry-eyed and flustered but being on time is all that matters.
So we...

HarryPottah!
I’m getting into the rhythm of studying at home again, I managed to plow through a great deal in my books today so I’m glad I put my mind to things for once.
Aside from studying, dad and I cleaned the house, though to be fair, he did most of the cleaning. At 4 PM I was off to fetch my mother from work and we went grocery shopping for a bit only to find the blu-ray edition of the...

Mushy brains
It’s that time of the night again.
The time when I’m suposed to be fast asleep but can’t because I’m too occupied thinking about completely irrelevant yet highly relevant things.
I’m pretty happy with the new blog layout, it’s easily customized so I’ll probably be updating the picture to the right constantly. Also, this theme has an inbuilt function...

Under construction....
Excuse the crap-looking quality my blog now possesses while I try undergoing construction. I was too paranoid to only save the HTML-coding for my current theme as I ended up setting some custom settings on it and didn’t want to dabble too much with it…and I was too lazy as well.
I’m meant to have a header image right at the top. It still bothers me that the preview of my...

Midnight madness
It’s past midnight and I’m sitting in bed.
Why am I not sleeping?
I look around my reasonably tidied room. My desk is visible again, my floor isn’t cluttered with clothes anymore, and most of my things are properly tidied away.
But somehow I have a feeling that someone.. Or something, is watching me.
I look down at my floor, and just beside my bed- I see it.
Why does that...

I can, I want to, and so I will...
I just wrote the creepiest starting paragraph to any blog post I’ve ever written. Then I cut it out of this post because it was completely irrelevant to what’s coming up next. [But you can read said creepy post right here]
If I haven’t been complaining enough, my body is going to be torturing me for the rest of the week.
For some ridiculous reason, I agreed to attend 1 hour of...

Staying home...
I’m sure I had something reasonably interesting to write here before it flew out of my head again, as usual, I might add.
It’s the second week into December and compared to last year, we’re definitely suffering less from the weather. It almost slipped my mind that the snow came so early [around the beginning of November] last year, though how could I have forgotten- I was...

Ice cream sundaes on a monday...
Today hasn’t been all that bad, to be a Monday.
I ended after 12 PM, had a great lunch-buffé comprising of Swedish Christmas-food [julbord] that they had set up in our cafeteria- and did some programming until I deemed it time to go home by 4 PM. I reached home an hour later and had the movie Bridesmaids running in the background while a) eating a gigantuous portion of grilled chicken and...

Sunday shopping
I browsed through my blog’s shopping-category while pondering if I’ve been going to Yves-Rocher far too often. After my quick research I’ve come to see that- no, it’s okay. I haven’t been to Yves-Rocher [or at least bought anything from there], since July, and can now go on with my evening as guilt-free as usual. No harm done.
And since my day hasn’t been very...

Running-around-Fridays
I just took a quick nap and a shower, which has definitely given me an energy boost.
Yesterday was a long, though pretty fun day. It started with a programming lab at 8 AM. After 3 PM I was on my way home again, and since buses are rarely on time anymore- I almost missed out on my bodybalance class at 4:30 PM [I ended up stumbling in at 4:40 PM, the only reason I was permitted in was because we...

Oh the buns...
I am definitely going to kick myself in the butt for this week.
I’ve been sleeping an average of 6 hours a day, which is still way too little to be me. [I have to sleep around 8-9 hours/day…like any other regular…child?]
But like I mentioned before, all of Monday evening- I was at the semester-meeting (part one), Tuesday I was up late baking buns for today’s maths study...
