stockholm girls

Remember reading a while ago about Stockholm being the number one, or at least top three, greenest city in the world. Now there is a more important rating out. The women of Stockholm is the most beautiful in the world. As if that would be something new. It is the American magazine Traveler's Digest that has made this survey.

"Stockholm is a city filled with the best looking women in the world, women so good looking that when you walk in to a 7-11 you will swear that you have just walked into a reality TV set, What Happens When Supermodels Work at A Convenience Store?"

obstacles before the finish line

So I managed to find some energy in the end. After some sleep and food I was prepared to start writing. With some candy next to me giving me a sugar kick when needed. I was up until 2.30 am writing to get most of it done to send to my tutor hoping that he can read it through as soon as possible. Boy did I fool myself once again. Of course he had a paper to write and the earliest he can read my thesis through is on Thursday. The last day for me to send it in if I want to have it published before the summer. The database where our theses are published will close for the summer due to upgrading and will open in fall again. Yeay, such good news. And since the people on the 4th floor, dealing with the publishing, are so 'helpful' and 'accommodating' I am not hopeful that they will be fast enough to publish it even if I hand it in on Thursday. I guess I will not be able to get my grade until fall. I do not now if it really matters unless employers really do ask for the grades. Well, well. If I do get a job at M I do not really have to worry since they do not ask for grades. ;)

Motivation, please

I am in need of some.
I am so close to the finish line and cannot seem to gather enough energy to cross it. I am going to watch TV for a while and hopefully in an hour I will have some motivation. Motivation to finish the thesis. Please, a few hours of efficient work is all I need.

unleash hell

I like it :)

goodbye jönköping

So today was all about packing the last stuff, carrying, and cleaning. Was like it never would end, but gladly it did. And it was good that dad did not bring anyone else to help moving. Because we would not have fit in another person in the car. The whole car was stuffed as you can see. Only two seats free in the front.

Also the trailer was stuffed. I am happy that I had such a small apartment, otherwise it would have been a lot more crap to take care of.

Goodbye my dear apartment. The second red door from the left at the top. Going to miss it even though it was only 27 square meters. But it was all mine. I could be messy without someone caring. I could stay up late. Or sleep in. Eat whatever or whenever I wanted. I hope I will have my own place soon again.


Goodbye neighbors. Goodbye town. See you in November for a weekend for the graduation ceremony.

leaving for good

Today has been all about packing. And packing. And packing. And so boring. Tomorrow will be all about carrying. And carrying. And carrying. So exhausting.

Now I actually dare to show pictures of my messy apartment. Since it is justified because I am moving.

Quite some mess. And now it is even more messier since more have been packed since dad brought more bags and cardboard boxes.

I packed all of my shoes in this big, blue IKEA bag. Honestly, I even have a few more shoes in the attic...

second interview

About that interview. I flew down on Monday to Copenhagen for my second interview at Maersk. Of course the flight got delayed and I had to wait for the baggage to arrive. I had two hour planned from arrival until the interview, but then I also had to take the train to the city center, drop of my bag at the storage at the central station, and then head to Maersk headquarter. Finally I got there with 15 minutes to spare, so that felt good.

They headquarter looks very strict and posh. I got surprised about what some people wore, since I had the picture that the dress code was kind of strict. But some wore simple sandals and some very casual summer clothes.

A woman came and picked me up and we went upstairs and I had to do another logical test. It went ok, about the same results as last time just a little bit better. I think I got questions right 30 out of 32 answered of the 50 questions in total in 12 minutes.

Then it was time for the interview and this time it was more focus on my qualifications, different experiences, how I handled some situations. Then I also got the question about what I think I will be working with in 10 years. How can I possibly know that since I do not know what I want to do now? Of course they also asked what I like to do now. I tried to ask, what I would like to do now is some analytical work. However, the interview felt good and I was able to answer the questions good I think.

Although, now when a few days has passed I do not feel as secure as I did after the interview. Now I start doubting myself and the answers I gave her. I told her I wanted to do analytical work and maybe I should have said something else as well. She told me that I was considered for a spot in the financial trainee program they have, or maybe another position if I would fit into that instead. So I guess I just have to wait and see now. Two weeks, or almost one now, until I know if I will be spending my next two years in Copenhagen. I want to move there! Please, please let me have it.

champagne breakfast

We came up with the great idea to have a champagne breakfast. Some bread, brie, and fruits.

And most importantly some sparkling wine. Yeah we cannot really afford real champagne.

The whole gang came along and we had a good time. Discussing where we will be in ten years. We will see if it holds true.


Since we still had some sparkling wine left we decided to end the day like we started it. Some more wine, cheese, crackers, fruit, and chocolate. Yummy.

flashback

Since I have not really been present here I think it is time for a recap. Last week we had a nice goodbye dinner at Anna Gretas eating tapas, really good.

Then we stopped by L and had some wine and just chilling.

Then it was time to head home to my sister's high school graduation. She looked really pretty in her pink polka dot dress.

My sister and I.

Here's my family, me, my sister's friend, mom, dad, my sister, and her boyfriend.

We had some great warm weather and I could lie outside in the sun. And then jump into our 'bath barrel' or what it might be called in English. You heat the water up by making a fire. It was still hot from the night before, so it was 35 degrees and it was perfect. Warm enough for me.


Then of course I had to prepare for the second interview at Maersk in Copenhagen.

the last dinner

Been kind of off last couple of days. I always stop writing when I have much going on or things I do not really want to think about. Sometimes I just stop, I guess I can just push it all forward for a while. Of course it all catches up with you.

Now I have started packing. I am moving out of my dear old apartment on Saturday and dad comes tomorrow to help. My dear apartment, we had three lovely years together. Although I was away for 9 months when I was abroad.

So to enjoy my last dinner by myself in my apartment I had to have sushi. And to honor the day it was the best sushi I have had from the new Sushi Bar. So good. Of course enjoyed with a glass of wine.

Time to continue packing...
