management is boring

I'm studying today. Well, trying. It's a boring subject, management. But there is still a lot left. I does not feel good. I've got 2 ½ left to go through, but then I need to start over. Since I can't remember the chapter I've gone through in the beginning. I've got some exam questions I can practice on as well, I'll do that after.

Unfortunately I woke up late. But I had some trouble sleeping, I'll blame that on my dear friends. There was a afterparty going on a few stories up. The damn Lithuanians and their loud music. I put in my earplugs and then I could sleep again.

miss my darlings

Today I'm missing my friends from Singapore. My flatmates that I became such good friends with. There were always someone there for you, whatever you needed. Or just for a chat if you were bored. When coming home at night we all just talked about our day. Just like a family. My family abroad.

And A. My roommate. I miss you. No one to talk to when I wake up in the morning or when I go to sleep at night. No one to take care of me and keeping the room neat. (My room is a mess right now.) There's no one like you here.

My lovely flatmates!

no party

I'm being good today. Well, I haven't been studying as much as I would have liked to. I fell asleep... But I am staying at home tonight. When everybody is going to a party. What a change huh? :) With the exam on Monday I just wanna stay at home and have a calm weekend. Maybe just put on a movie, have some popcorn. And try to read some notes too.

heartache

Ok, I am supposed to be studying but then I noticed that Oprah was on so I had to watch it. They were doing makeovers in two apartments in New York City. Then I got this feeling, heartache. Showing a scene of the guy walking down the street in West Village. I so wanna be there too.

NYC is truly a city for me. When I was in US and had the chance to go in to NYC every second weekend I really felt like a true New Yorker. I hope that someday I will get a chance to live in the city and have that feeling again walking down some avenue or street.

But I do get the same feeling when I'm in my hometown. Stockholm. Every time I take the train and I'm getting closer and getting a view of the city I feel at home. It was the same thing a couple of weeks ago when I did the trip to Sthlm with the other exchange students. I realized how much I love the city and miss it. Two cities I would feel like home in.

please sleep

I hope I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight. Last night I didn't sleep well at all. I don't really know what is wrong. It's not about school, cause I never get stressed about that. I never allow myself that. It's warm in my room even though the radiator is turned off, but I like it when it's warm. It's really quiet her as well, I wouldn't mind if it were more noisy sometimes. Never had a problem sleeping in noisy surroundings. So the last thing would be my bed. It's really soft. But I've never had problems with beds before.

I just wanna wake up and feel that 'this was really a good night sleep'. Don't know if I felt that here yet. I miss my big, wide bed in my apartment.

one thing finished

Oh, no.
Still awake. But at least I'm heading to bed. I was at the other flat, went there at 6pm to work on our assignment. Then I finished and got stuck there talking to M and then the others.
And now I'm really tired. But at least I'm done with my part of the assignment. So now I can concentrate the last three days on only studying for the exam. That feels good. I've got to put on my 'effective study mode'. I hope I'll manage.

actually studying

Been all busy studying. Can you believe it? :)
I'm really focused now, which is good since it's only five days left until my exam and hand in of assignment. I think I'll be okay. I just have to make sure that I make it. I've been reading these days to the exam in Introduction to Management. Also for the assignment in the same course that I started writing on now tonight. Feel good to have started, tomorrow I hope I will have a productive day. Unfortunately I've got a class that I think I might need to go to. But that doesn't feel good, cause I usually want to have a day with no break and just write all day. I might loose my mojo if I go to school. On the other hand I think I've missed the last two classes...

sillis

Never told you about Sillis. Which was truly great. Probably one of the best parties. I'm happy that we went, and it was worth getting up that early that day to get the tickets. We had to be in town at noon, which was a little bit difficult since we only got 5h of sleep because of the birthday party the night before. But we got there on time all dressed in our overalls and a funny hat. We were driven by buses to place X and there inside they had rows of tables and music playing with the lights off. Even though the entertainment was in Finnish we had a good time, we didn't really care.

It felt strange though to start drinking at noon already. It felt like we were dancing the night away, at 2pm. It ended already at 5.30pm and it felt strange coming out in day light when we been inside dancing in the dark all day. Then we headed on to a karaoke bar, I did sign up but never got so sign. Well, I left after about two hours since I was really tired. Definitely a new experience to be heading home, drunk, at 9pm. But it was a good idea to go home and I was in bed sleeping at 11pm. Still I was tired the next morning after sleeping more than 12h. I did manage to start studying though.

early in bed

Freakin tired after Sillis. I'm about to fall asleep right now. And it's only 11pm. A record here I think, I don't think I've been in bed this early. But starting the party at noon and then keep going make you tired. Or exhausted might be a better word. It was a great time. So much fun.

After this I'll fall asleep. It's good, then I might be able to get up quite early to start with my studying...
