C’est Janvier!

Hey there. I recently learned that it’s mostly here in the south that you say “hey” when you greet someone, on other places it’s “hi”. Anyhow. Today is the 4th of January, which is totally-out-there-wicked-and-terrifying. My jaws are busy with six peppermint chewing gums (I’m hungry, don’t feel like cooking quite yet though), while I’m watching stuff being copied from my computer to a jump drive. Fun!

I would like to tell my roomate that it’s not okay to have the whole apartment smelling like wonderful chocolate muffins when I get back from the gym. Although, I have to admit that she’s the kindest to have put all my disgusting dish in the dishwasher. Thanks, Steph!

I’m sure you all wonder why I haven’t written a word in the blog since Christmas Eve. Well, school shut down internet, my phone disappeared (and it’s not back yet), then there was New Years, and my sweetest friend Katarina from Sweden came to visit for a week, and then she left, and internet remained shut down until sometime yesterday afternoon I think.

Also, I’ve lived more through the characters of the books that I’ve read than I’ve lived my own life. I’ve really enjoyed the reading and relaxing though, I sense I needed it very much. Now, however, I can’t wait for the spring semester to start. My, oh my, it’s going to be the best spring ever! (It’s going to be heard to beat the last one though, with my first semester of the Physical Therapy program at the University of Lund, new friends, tons of costume parties and crazy fun, an ever so amazing dorm, the work with Wake-Up Call and the clothes swop… Man, whatever, that was then, now is now.)

These are the classes I’m going to take for the spring semester:

• Digital Photography (need I say more?)
• Publication Design (everything from layout of magzines and broschures to building websites)
• French (beginners French, finally, and I’m eccited! Je suis excité!)
• Personal Fitness Training (how to build training programs with specific goals, will prepare us for the personal training certification from American College of Sports Medicine)
• Women Mental Health (a Psychology class that I’m longing to take, but as by now I’m only on the reserve list)

Also, there’s a lot of hanging out with the other GRSP students to look forward to, as well as lots of travelling, hopefully.

I dream of going to the following placea, at least:

• New York (USA’s vintage city no. 1, sometime during the spring, just imagine!)
• Puerto Rico (for Spring Break, since we might get hotels for free, but an alternative is Panama City Beach, Florida, “The Spring Break Capital Of The World”)
• San Fransisco, Las Vegas and San Diego (the Pacific Highway road trip, complete with Grand Canyon and everything, after school’s ended)

That was enough for now, wasn’t it? I mean, you must all be so unused to actually discover something to read here that you’re probably finding yourself overwhelmed by the mere effort, holding your heads in your hands, swaying from one side to the other on your chairs.

I’ll let you all, and my fingers for that matter, rest for a little bit, but I’d like to tell you that I’ll start to write in a new blog really soon. After I chose to invest in a domain with a .se-address, the new blog I created, BeyondVintage.se, was shortly after it’s birth threatened with some unidentified “legal action” by a big American company, claiming its rights for the name. After some negotation I finally managed to get a little money from the company that demanded the termination of my little blog, so I’m going to invite you to yet another blog as soon as the technical stuff is arranged. It’s going to be called something as snazzy as “A Vintage Love Affair”. But more about that later, I have to consult with my danish computer guy first.

Later, friends ♥
