busy busy
Oh my Gosh, i had such a long day at work.. Ok it actually wasn't even that long, just felt so incredibly long.. Haven't even managed to do anything except work, so gonna try to tidy up the house a lil bit now, and maybe get some washing done, and then go to bed early!
By the way, I got a new purse today, it is so lovely, it's in sale in Karen Millen, so I got it as a lil Xmas present to myself :)
Doesn't seem like I can upload a picture of it.. I will soon though looks too nice, to not show it of ;)
Christmas is over..
Believe it or not, but I had a really nice Christmas. Was really not looking forward to it, because I wasn't going to spend it with my family. But spent it with Binta and her family instead, well her brothers.. We just all made the sofa cozy for ourselves and stayed there the whole day cuddle up under loads of duvets.. We had loads of food and drinks and sheesha.. I guess that is how people without families spend their holidays. Weird coz I thought it would be awful not to be with my family, but really it was just like any other day. Have hardly seen my family this whole year, and this day wasn't any different than any other day. So I guess it is just what it is. You can just ignore that it is Christmas, and have an absolutely fine day without your family :)
Haha i know I don't look very happy.. I somehow always look like I want to kill the person taking the picture.. Weird, even when I try to smile, I end up looking like this..
Good or Bad is the questions..
Christmas is finally here.. I wish I could spend it with my family, but to be honest am not too much bothered by being stuck in england.. Doesn't really feel like Christmas anyways.. Except from at work.. It has been crazy busy there.. Which makes me think, seriously, do people buy presents on the 24th??! That's just crazy to me, so last minute, and I always thought I was bad, always leaving things to the last minute, but I would never buy presents on the 24th, would be way to scared not to find the right things for the right people, if you know what i mean..
It has been so busy though at work, which makes me realize, I'm def. not a last minute kind of person compared to everyone else.. Looks like I play everything safe, even the christmas shopping.
I had this discussion with Lisa the other day, girls like me and her, always play everything safe, does that mean we miss out on fun? I mean obviously not when it comes to buying christmas gifts the last possible day, but other things.
For example, every day Lisa parks in this parking house close to work, and every day she has to drive down a couple of floors, and than in the evening, when the park-house is empty, she always drives the long way out, even though the short way would literally take one second to drive up, she always drives round after round through the whole place to get back up..
I told her she should do the naughty thing and just drive up.. Do what pretty much everyone else would do. But she can't, she is too much of a good girl.. To be honest, i'm all talk myself, I wish I could do the "wrong thing" every now and then, but I can't.. It would feel so incredibly wrong, and probably feel guilty until I confess to the security people or something..
I bet people who don't play everything safe have more fun, but in the end of the day, we all choose what we do and how we act. So I can't blame being boring on a characteristic, it is just who I choose to be :)
Nervous..
Gonna have a job interview in a minute, so nervous, even though it's only a skype interview.. Well let's hope it will go alright..
Just went into my mums website and saw she put some real nice pictures on there..
She has become so good at taking pictures, this really shows the beauty of a Swedish Winter..
Sunday = Cleaning-day!
Been cleaning all day.. almost done, only my bedroom left.. The house looks real nice and smells clean.. Really had to be done..
Gonna take a break now and go town to buy some shoes I can wear on my job interview.. Am so nervous but guess there is nothing much I can do.. Will try to be prepared as much as possible, but I guess it's mostly about how well the whole first impression CRAP goes.. I hate that. I mean my CV is so good on paper, and I know I could do such a good job, but I suck at first impressions. I get nervous and shy, and hardly speak, and when I speak I forget what I was saying half way through, so I try to say as little as possible. But not talking makes people think you are stuck up, so that doesn't work either. I wish there was a way to get a job without having to go to interviews. Specially coz it's in the morning, how will I find my way there in the morning, and have to get back to Southampton in time to go to work here..
Yeah tuesday will equal to Stress-Day!
Had a really nice saturday night yesterday, as usual I didn't go out.. (Yes I know I'm fully aware that i'm extremely boring, not to go out on a Sat-night.. But WHATEVA!) Well me and my housemate stayed at home and had a couple of cocktails and smoked some sheesha, and watched movies, was such a cozy night.. Felt a bit like the whole last year. That was sort of the only thing we did last year.. I miss Uni days, when there was a meaning with life, some sort of order, somewhere to be every day, and something to do.. I don't think students have the slightest clue how good they have it, how fun studying actually is compared to real life..
Well i'm off now, still have to keep cleaning :)
Peace out!
Me and Rhianna on Sat night.. (need to stop biting my lips!)
Misfits?!
I have to say i'm seriously addicted to Misfits. I mean it has everything television needs to succeed, everything people want to be entertained. Everything most people don't wanna admit. Seriously, how many pretend like they like a book or a documentary or movie because it will make them look deep, and intelligent?
I remember when I just started college, everyone was reading Dostojevski (can't believe I just spelled his name right in the first try.. Impressed by myself!) At the time I felt stupid because I hadn't read anything by him, and now I have three different books by him, two of which are over a hundred years old.. Yeah I love old smelly books.. But to be honest I haven't finished a single one of them.. But to be serious, I got these books mostly because I could not have other people be more intelectual than me.. This is weird, because I don't usually feel intimidated by people, specially not when it comes to things like literature, I love reading, always have, so I have read a lot of books. I also have seen a lot of movies, documentaries, I read the news, and magazines (I did study Journalism and Media..) So why do I feel intimidated by people who read one book I haven't?
But the bigger question is: Why do I feel like I have to defend myself, for loving Misfits and other equal television series (could True blood be any better?!). Well here it is, I love Misfits, True Blood, Sex and the City, Friends, Fresh prince. I also love stupid romantic comedies, in which you know in the first five minutes who will end up with who, and so on. Does this make me a stupid girl, who just likes girly un-intelligent stuff? Well who is anyone to judge me, as we all have our stupid guilty pleasure.. We all do something that we are not proud of. I know admitting to watching these sort of tv shows and movies might not be a big deal for some, but for someone who has studied journalism and media, I should know better, and like some watch intelligent telly that will make me brighter and not dumber.. But seriously, who gives a s##t?!
Peace out for today..
driving me crazy!!
Seriously, what's with the weather.. Did I really move to England to be in the same bloody weather as back home in Sweden? Ok I know it's not by far as cold here, just talked to my mum, and she kept holding her laptop out of the window so I would see the amount of snow that is coming down.. Like seriously, why do mums always do that? Maybe it's just mine though, but every time I talk to her on skype she needs to show me what she is doing, or what the weather is like, or the dog (she always wants me to talk to the dog..) or the baby.. I mean the baby I'm cool with, because he is always growing, and I hardly ever see him.. But the rest, seriously..?! If I wanted to know what the weather is like in Sweden, I'd check bbc/weather.com. Naa, gonna stop complaining about my mum, I do love her.. Just not on skype.. Just one more thing, is it just my family, or does this happen in all families? My family is always getting involved in my life, as if they do not think I can handle anything by myself, at the moment, everyone is trying to find me a job. But as they don't want the same things for me as I want, or don't even seem to be able to remember what I have studied, or in which field I want to work, they seem to find loads of jobs, and don't understand why I dismiss them as not suitable for me..
Ok now i'm done bitching about my family, with this said they are wonderful and I do love them! (As long as they are not driving me crazy)
Have to get ready now though, was meant to be job-hunting and xmas gift shopping all day, but work just called and asked me to come in a couple of hours earlier.. So have to quickly get ready, eat something and get going..
Just need to send away one more CV for the day..
Been naughty..
I know i know, as usual I haven't been blogging for way too long.. But promise will be a good girl from now on..
Job search is going about as bad as it possibly could, with that said it will probably go even worse now just because I mentioned it. Someone should tell all the students that are demonstrating at the moment because of the student fees that they shouldn't waste their time studying.. The only thing they will get out of it are huge loans, and no work, because, guess what, to be able to get a job you need experience, and if you study instead of working you won't get any experience..
I went to the job-center today, went early in the morning to avoid all the special crowds, which by the way I didn't manage to avoid.. Guess what them people told me.. That i need to apply for benefits in order for them to help me find a job. That must be the stupidest thing I have heard in my life, I mean isn't it a good thing that I don't want any benefits, that i'm looking for a job without that.. Well that was a waste of time, won't be going back there in a while..
Except from the job search life has been pretty event-less here.. Only things I'm doing except work is looking for jobs, sleeping and well that's it pretty much..
Went out with the girl from work on Saturday, which I had been looking so much forward to, and ended up going home straight after dinner, whilst all the girls went to the nearest gay bar.. :( I really am becoming more and more boring.. Hope it's just a stupid phase..
By the way, Seriously, can't believe Matt won the Xfactor, Rebecka is soooo much better than him, and apparently he is a bit of a dick! My friends brother was one of the background singers one week, and he said that all the participants were real sweet-hearts (yes even Cher), except Matt.. He was apparently really rude to everyone, and throwing tantrums all the time.. Guess people like that always win.. Only hope that Rebecka will still be able to make it, because her voice is amazing!!
I won a Karen Millen Dress!!!
Can't believe I won, i never win anything!! This is so amazing, I could chose whichever dress I wanted, even though there were other dresses I love, I chose this one, because it's so amazing. Probably never will get an occasion to wear it too.. But what can I do it's so beautiful :)
Will put pictures online where i'm wearing it as soon as i get it..
