I had a lovley birthday.

First I had a nice breakfast with family and friends.

Then some shopping at the Boomerang sale. Where I found a really nice cardigan, priced down from 1999:- to 500:-. The zipper "hook" was missing so I got it for 100:-. Mom would have been proud!

Practise 16-20. Wonderful spagetti and köttfärssås for dinner and a Make-your-own-icecream-sundae with cookie dough, rasberries, homemade chocolate sauce, bananas, meringue and thoose rolled up chocolat sticks. Delicious!

Saturday we played against Lindesberg and it was a really important game for us to win. And we finally did after 2 1/2 hours of playing! I played consistent and did I tell you that we won?!
I am looking forward to it.

It's been a long time since my last entry. Since november 9th I have;

- Had a cold and sore throat for two weeks
- Lost the Swedish Cup final
- Won 3-1 against Elverket and 3-0 against RIG
- Had a week off from school when my class was on a trip to Paris. Unfortunately I was sick and just layed in my bed all week instead of enjoying my free time.
- Had a wonderful birthday party for the swedish relatives and got a Food processor!
- Had some light anxiety over my portfolio that I keep avoiding.

But I'm very happy that the first of advent is on sunday. Only three more weeks of school and christmas in a month!

Now back to school....

Volleykanalen, shows some of the games that we play.

School is intense this week. On thursday we have our big presentation, so until then I'm crashing. Next week my class is going to Paris but I have a game wednesday so I have to stay home. Right now it feels nice to have a week off. A week to relax, take long walks, bake bread and go to etnografiska.

Sometimes creativity isn't the easiest part of the job. A deadline coming up and I'm sitting here lookning at blogs and dreaming about interior design. I need inspiration!

Måndag 19 oktober

Yesterday we had our first real game of the season. The opponent was Gislaved and we finally won (3-2)! It was the first game I ever started in the elitserie so I was pretty excited. I made some poor decisions, but over all played a good game. I am learning from every play.

This week I don't have any classes since my program is in Gothenburg to be at some fair. But since I have practise I get to stay home, and it is very nice to have some free time. So today I have just been reading and drawing. And tomorrow I am going to be a good girl cleaning and getting some laundry done. Then mom and I are going to IKEA and Barkaby to get some pretime christmas shopping, eat meatballs and talk.

Now it's time for lunch and then I'm going home to vaxmora to have coffee with my mom and hopefully order some clothes before practise tonight!

Last week was a good week. I had classes four days, monday off so I could sleep in after our big trainingcamp last weekend.

Wednesday evening my firend johanna came over and had dinner with us. I haven't seen her since begining of september I think. We had lasanga, cheese and homebaked bread. Practises were good all week.

Saturday I had a nice, long walk with my friend Caroline. We walked for over an hour in the beautiful, sunny, chilly weather. Then I spent some time with mom and had lunch with her.

Sunday we went to Orebro to play a exhibitiongame. We got our asses kicked, and were pretty misreble on the way home. But hopefully we got wiser. But when I got home Seb and his sister was baking kanelbullar (cinnamonbuns) since it was kanelbullensdag. Yes, we have a day dedicaded to a bun. Then a bunch of friends came over and we watched the soccergame Elfsborg - AIK. A very good end to a long day.

Today I have been in school all morning and know I have to work on a paper that is due on thurday.

My wonderful workspace; a desk, my computer, a cup of tea, two lovley horses to look at. And I just love my desktop picture. Everything you need to do homework.












Pictures from a chilly Swedish summer day on Öland. Surfkiteing with some friends. I never actually made it in to the water, mainly because it was way to windy. But we had a good time and some nice irish coffee when we got home.

A picture from Öland last spring. Even tough its springtime in the picture, it really reminds me of fall.

Another week has passed. Tuesday and thursday I worked at my old internship company Intellecta and helped them with som CAD drawings. It was fun too see everyone again, but I am pretty happy to still be in school. Friday I was off and spent the day at Bosön, the swedish natinal sportscenter. Seb and I are helping a guy how is doing research about explosive sports. So we work out with him every other week. Friday evening after volleyball my team and I went out to Cissis summer place and sat in the sauna and in their hot tub. Really cozy and relaxing. Came home saturday afternoon and did not study as planned...

This is the team this year. Some new faces. The team feels completely different from last year, but it's still good!

6 September.

Yesterday we had practise from 10-11.30 and then from 13-15. It was a lot of fun to hang out with the girls all day and get some more volleyball in. Later in the evening Emma and Albin had a party at their place. Some wine, talk and 6 hours later I could walk just a cross the street to get home. Very nice to have friends that close by. Today I won't be able to do anything but study. It's almost raining and there's not any good TV shows on until tonight so I will be fine. It's just hard to focus when the subject is Logistics. Not very fun or intresting at all.

Wonderful Wednesday.

So... School's started. Agian. Today we had our first exame. Three hours of cramp in my hand. It is scary that one summer can make you feel so out of shape when it comes to taking notes and writing all day long.

Volleyball is fun, and hard. Even tough I feel in good physical shape, there is still a lot missing in terms of skills. Practises are intense, we are only 9 players right know, but the competition level is high.

I think I am going to start bloging a little bit more often. I really have to practise writing in english.
