I really should be studying right now. Reading "Great Expectations" for my narratology class or writing my midterm paper (narratology too), or writing my linguistics paper, or study for my translation exam this Friday. Oh well, I think I'll eat lunch and then I'll sit down with Mr. Dickens or something...

Summer's been both busy and not, depending how you look at it... Since I couldn't get ahold of a job (damn you economic situation ) I've been staying with my parents, who live on a farm. So I've been helping them quite a lot, mostly with chores and tending the garden, since I'm no big fan of manual labour. But there were of course some other things, like hay harvest in June and that kinda stuff... Had it just been those, then I would have had time to write, however...
Well, my grandfather passed away in June, and that kinda put me on hold with writing fanfiction. I did however write some things, more or less related to that, and I did try writing poetry (and failed), but I'm not sure whether I'll post any of that stuff here... Anyhow, because of him passing away, my granma's moving and they have this huuuuge house so we have been helping her to clean and stuff, i.e. throw away all the junk they had managed to gather through the years.

On a happier note, I've met up with some old friends of mine and we even had a little reunion with our class from junior high... And that was... Let's say interesting.

But now I'm back in town and the term at the university has started. So now I'll probably write more. Since I for some dumb reason always want to write the most when I have no time... I also have some new ideas for fanfics and I'll try and work with my current story too.

So, I really should stop here since I'm supposed to be studying. We already have lots of work, especially since we've only had one lecture yet... Sadly, none of it is very interesting.

EDIT
I f**king burned my hand while cooking. It was two hours ago and it still hurts like hell. The only thing that stops it from hurting is ice, but I can't really have my hand on ice when I go to bed. .__.
And I'm a bit irritated with my roommate for not caring. When I got burned I cursed a bit and told her I'd burned myself, but at that time I didn't think it was so bad, so I understand if she didn't think much about it. By the time I was finishing cooking I had a plastic bag with an icecube wrapped around it, she didn't notice. While eating I could barely hold my knife and had to go up and change the ice once. She didn't really show that she cared and after dinner she just sat down with her computer and let me clear the table. Even though I was complaining and obviously in pain she chose to freakin twitter instead of help me. >__<
This kinda pissed me of since I'm always very considerate towards her and I almost never complain about this kind of stuff, since I'm rather tolerant when it comes to pain. Unlike her who complain over the smallest things and thinks she should call the doctor all the time.
..........
Sorry for the rant, but I had to get it out of my system...

Afterwards I couldn't really tell if I liked it or not. I think it's probably a good movie if you haven't read the book. But personally I found it annoying that they had changed so much of the storyline and the characters. I understand that they have to change some things when adepting a book to film, but they had changed many of the things for no apparent reason. Bloody hell, they even did changes that changed the outcome of the movie!

So well, it's not a bad movie, but it bothers me when they change the names of the characters (what's all that about!?), changes important parts of the plot and stuff like that.

But I have to say that it was kinda entertaining to see the chief of the Swiss Guard speak with a Swedish accent! XD

Now, moving on. It feels a bit weird, because I've been alone since Tuesday. My roommate didn't have any lessons this week so she's visiting her family in the country. I like having time to myself, but I've gotten so used to her being here so I kinda miss her... Not that it matters that much, since she's coming back today.

Anyway, yesterday my mom told me that she's getting surgery in two weeks. It's her shoulder and it's not really that major and I did know about it, but the thing is that she didn't think it would be until sometime this summer. And that would have been much better, since I would have been back home for the summer and could have helped her cook and all those things that she won't be able to do. But now the poor woman will have to ask my brother and sisters to do that.

On a happier note, I did get an A on my linguistics exam! And I got an A on my literary essay the other day too! So I'm pretty happy with myself.

Well, now I really should go get dressed, since it 1pm and I'm still in my jammies.

Oh, and afterwards when Sara, Love and I ate lunch I said something that Love thought was so funny that she hit herself in the head so hard it hurt for half an hour. Personally, I found that as funny as what I said.

And I've been doing a bit of writing so I'm happy! ^_^ But I really should study though...

So, long story short, it all sucks. Except that I think the exam went really well. I looked through the answer key and according to my own calculations I got 95%, which should be an A. And that would make me really happy! So I'm eagerly awaiting the results which we should get this week.

Since last night I'm back in town after spending Easter with my family. I do enjoy spending time with my family, but one week is about enough. And since I'll probably have to spend the whole summer there, I'm gonna enjoy the time up until then. >_>

Oh, but the best thing is that spring finally has arrived! It's been really sunny for the last few days (today's an exception though) and it's so wonderful! I love spring! <3

Anyhoo, now I have to go and write that peer review that's due tomorrow, so toodles!

The university's been taking up a lot of my time lately, since we had a essay due this week and we have our first exam for this term tommorow. Well, exam isn't a perfect word, since it's more like a test in size, but still...
It's on academic vocabulary and I'm pretty sure I'll pass, but I want a good grade so right now I have to study. I don't really like studying words though...

But we had this wonderful poetry workshop with Mr. Schreiber yesterday!
I've never been that fond of reading and especially analysing poetry, but I absolutely loved it! It was really interesting and he's such a good teacher. It's a pity that he's not grading us though, cause I did really well. ;__;
A funny thing happened though. He actually asked me if I've lived in America. Apperently he thought that I was really good at picking up cultural things in the poems, so I guess it's a compliment. But still, I guess that means I've lost whatever little Brittish accent I had...

Oh, and me and my friend are moving next weekend, so I'm kinda busy with that too.

I'm a bit irritated with my roommate though. She keeps whining about some cold she's got and is feeling really sorry for herself. And it feels like she's really exaggerating and she actually thinks she should get a doctor's appointment. I mean, come on! It's just a cold! It's nothing weird about it at all... -___-

Well anyhoo, now I'm gonna study some more.

Melodifestivalen ("the Melody Festival") is a music competition, which determines the swedish representative in the Eurovision Song Contest. Most of the song's are really crappy and sound almost the same, and there is no thing such as intelligent lyrics. It's actually a miracle that it's the most popular tv programme in Sweden. But I think many watch it, just to be able to complain about how sucky it was... -___-

It's been many years since I actually enjoyed watching it. And when I was a kid it just was one evening. Now there's like 4 or 5 semifinals before the one where they actually determine who's the winner. So Melodifestivalen plagues us for weeks!

And unfortunately, I'm visiting my family for the weekend and my sisters insist on watching every part of it!

The police in Nigeria has arrested a goat, on suspicion of armed robbery and attempted car theft. The goat is also claimed to be a wizard.
According to the police, they were chasing two armed robbers, who then tried to steal a car. Then when the police caught up with them, one of them fled and the other one turned into a goat.
The spokesman of the police force also told the media, that the goat can't be prosecuted until they have scientific proof that humans can turn into animals.

This made me laugh so damn much when I read it in the paper. It's insane! Poor goat though...

It hasn't really been such a great year. Of course there has been lots of great times, but I've had many lows too. I've been kinda... I guess you could call it depressed and I've been doubting many things in my life this year. The only good thing about this is that I've started writing again (I kinda stopped in high school, due to a lack of time) and it's become a sort of therapy to me. Take the good with the bad, I guess?

But now there's a new year and I'm gonna start new! Now I'm gonna:
- write more
- start a new subject at the university (okay, that one was planned, but still) and do great!
- find a bigger apartment with my best friend
- get in better shape

Have a wonderful 2009 everyone!

Well well, back to work then...

Man, that's a stupid commercial... I mean, how often do you buy more than one stove? In one year?

This has been a lousy day. I went to the university, but our teacher showed up for our lesson an hour late, so I could just have stayed at home and slept (cause I really felt like shit when I woke up). It has been raining the entire day. I'm still kinda sick. I've been working on my essay, which is really hard as I've never written anything this difficult in German before. Plus a whole bunch of other things.

The only good thing that happen today was that I got a new pillow. Oh my, what a highlight of ones day... -___-

So why, oh why, do I want to write so desperately right now!? But then again, it's nothing uncommon. I always want to write the most when I have no time. There's definately something wrong with me...
