Looking forward to going to England!!

Last week was so busy I barely had time to blog! I also had a deadline yesterday. Thought I'd be completely off today but the teacher from my next course e-mailed us saying we should write a synopsis of our project till tomorrow....great! Also, I need to do some work since I'll be in England the rest of the week.

I'm not working all day though, a few hours should be enough. After that I need to get a haircut and go to town to buy some things.

I'm really looking forward to visiting Andy! He's working on Thursday so I'll try to get some work done then too, but I also need to go to Debenhams in Hemel to buy a mascara that they stupidly don't sell in Sweden. Might see if I can find a new pair of running shoes as well. On the Friday we'll be driving up north to where the wedding is, we're staying in a hotel for two nights. I think we'll be meeting up with some of Andy's friends on the Friday for dinner and drinks and then it's wedding time on Saturday! On Sunday we'll drive to Andy's parents and spend the night there. Monday will be spent driving down south and early Tuesday morning it's time to go home! The weekend is going to go so fast! Anyway, can't wait!!!

Beautiful day

Just took a break from working and went out for a walk, it's so nice out today!

I'm still here!

Haven't been blogging much this week, I've been crazy busy! Most of the week was spent studying for my history exam. The exam was yesterday and I hope I passed! It was just a pass/fail exam so can't hope for a higher grade than that. The test consisted of three questions and I'm pretty sure i aced the first one (industrial revolution), the second one was ok (democratization in Sweden) but the third question was one I was hoping wouldn't come on the exam (Cold war). My weak points were nationalism, Germany from the Versailles treaty to end of WW2 and the Cold War. Off course that question came up! Lol, anyway, I think I wrote an ok answer so hopefully I will have passed!

This exam was a part of a course I did almost two years ago but for different reasons I never did the exam. So if I passed it, I only have two extra essays from previous terms left. I'm so lucky that the first two courses of this semester have been fairly easy, otherwise I would never have found the time to study for old exams, write old papers AND work. I hope this next course isn't too difficult either, it at least looks as if we have loads of free time (well independent study time).

This weekend is pretty uneventful, I'm cat-sitting at my mum's. I haven't been able to do any grading work this week so I'm trying to squeeze in at least 6 hours of that today. I also have another deadline on Monday so need to work on that. Can't wait till Tuesday! I'll be inbetween courses as the next one starts wednesday and then it's Easter! Time to breathe! Well, not really. Time to go to England for yet another wedding! :) I'll leave on Wednesday night and will be back next Tuesday. It'll be great to see Andy and so much fun to go to a wedding! Can't wait!

Good food

My darling wife and roommate made a nice dinner tonight. Avocado soup with prawns fried in chili, spinach salad with tofu and halloumi, yummie!

Dreams...

I had an amazing dream last night. I dreamt that I was finished with all this Uni work, finally done - with everything! I then booked a one way ticket to Italy and decided to travel wherever I wanted from there and not go home until I felt like it. The feeling was amazing!

I think I need a vacation. And also, I think a vacation on my one would do me good! Maybe I don't need to go to Italy indenfinitely but a weekend somewhere would be so nice! I can't wait to be done with all this work so that I can start living my life!

Time for my reward!

A glass of wine and pomegranate seeds. I just love pomegranate! Unfortunately it's just a pain to peel. In England you could buy the seeds so you didn't have to do the peeling. Not that I ever did, but it's a good idea for us lazy people!
