I'm in Jönköping.
Gonna try to do some serious studying.
Hopefully I'll have some discipline.
Today I met J. Haven't seen her in ages.
I have a few friends here. So I won't be totally alone.
And I miss my sis a little.
I've been living at home now for three months.
So I've gotten used to having her around.

exhausting day
Today I was in that special mood.
That mood when I'm just apathetic.
Been reading in my book.
Watching a couple of movies.
Eating crap.
That's my day today.
Oh, and I picked up my train ticket for Friday morning.

second hand bargains
Of course I promised myself before the trip to Stockholm that I wouldn't shop that much.
But how much is a promise like that worth?
Not much apparently.
But I did do some really good bargains. I've been looking for a jacket and found one at Myrorna for only 105 SEK and then I found an adorable brown clutch purse at Beyond Retro. Love that store.
Luckily I'll get salary in a few days.

heading to my lovely town
Going to Stockholm tomorrow with my sis.
Love Sthlm in summertime.
After my studies I want to get a job and live there.
I've been away for such a long time now.
The town is calling for me to get to know it again.
It's been four years.
It's going to be five years.
Then. Who knows.
But I would like to live in Sthlm for a while.
It's my favorite town.
Of course it's competing with New York.
But I don't have that money yet.
That time will come.
For know, it will do with a trip for the day.
My sister knows the town better than I do know and she will help me to get to know it a little again.
Eat some at Kungshallen (been longing for that) and visit Myrorna and Beyond Retro amongst others.
Unfortunately it's supposed to rain.
I'll just bring my 'Singapore Airlines'-umbrella.

compensation for the pain
Today when we looked through all the mail we've received during the vacation, I found a letter for me.
A letter from my insurance company.
I sat there wondering what decision they've made.
You see, I've gone through two spine surgeries and now a big part of my spine is stiff. About two months ago I sent in some photos of my scar. A long scar along my spine. So now I was hoping to get some money for that. The scar is visible but has never really bothered me, for me it's instead compensation for the uncertainty and pain I've had to go through to get that scar.
I didn't want to get my hopes up so I didn't expect much.
When I opened the letter I got surprised. And of course happy.
It was more than I expected.

back from the rain
Can't say that the vacation in Finland was that great. Out of 16, we only had 3 days with sunshine. Had a wish of coming home tanned.
Not so much.
Rainy and windy. Gave me time to read some books. Annika Lantz with 9 ½ månader and Selma Lagerlöf with Jerusalem. Great books. Very different.
And I got to spend time with my cousin and her daughter. Adorable.
So now I'm back in Stockholm for a couple of days. Then I'm heading to Jönköping. Gonna try to do some studying.

finland so far
It has been raining.
And raining.
And then some more raining.
One day of sunshine. And I hoped that I would come home with a tan. Not that hopeful anymore. I have met my relatives and my cousins new baby. My books and my dvd's have kept me company after my sister left for 'Arvikafestivalen'.
Sister and me.
Really funny book.

Emilia is enjoying the water.

a break
I'm proud of myself.
1) I've managed to pack light! (the Southeast Asia traveling taught me something)
2) We're leaving in two hours and I'm already packed!
It has been a tradition that I'm finished packing 10 minutes after we are supposed to leave.
There's a first time for everything.
How about that.
Maybe it gives me more grown-up points. According to this test my estimated age is 25. Pretty accurate.
The reason why I'm packing is that I'm heading to Finland for vacation with my family. It's time for the yearly visit to our summer cottage and all the relatives. Since we don't have any internet the activity will be pretty low here.
See you in 2 ½ weeks. Enjoy the summer.

no activity
Not much happening. Don't know what I've been doing the last couple of days.
Nothing really.
It's no point to write about nothing. It's boring.
And the weather sucks so no tanning. Only rain.
But I can tell you that I'm reading a book that is hilarious. It doesn't have a great story, it's just a diary of a Swedish comedian that got her second child. The author is Annika Lantz and the book is '9 ½ månad'.
