yes, again...however, i can return them if i want... if i know myself i will never do that, but a girl can pretend right? 800 kr is 800 kr more than i can afford to put on shoes right now, but it was an instant romance when i saw them. and tey were the only ones left in my size. it was meant to be, it's as simple as that. and they are so pretty!

the low healed boots (not the ones in the top but the one closest) are now in a bag here in my apartment, and i absolutley love them! 

i had fun spending time with vic today as well. insane that we haven't seen etch other since we graduated. and we ran in to karin, which was fun. felt just like old times, sort of, (haha intern joke with my fellow IRs)

found this vid. what can I say, I can relate. I love shoes! and truly, i don't need them, but i gotta have them! 

Anders came over for a "fika" it was nice. and the homesicknes came over me. as i said, i like it here, i like it alot actually. but i miss so manny things back home as well. but i'm going home this weekend, so it's gonna be nice. it's just that i'm such a crybaby, people think things are worse than what they really are. 

and with that i'm heading out to the SNS store! sneakers and stuff here I come, I have shoes on my agenda!

this blogging thing seems to be fun only when i'm bored, doesn't it? today in academic writing we talked about different ways to say things, how you, by using words, can take the same information and portray it as good or as bad. like;
newclear power plants stand for 20% of the US energy = alot 
or
newclear power plants stand for only 20% of the US energy = not so much
 
we also talked about cells. and former president Bush. and alot of grammar. english grammar is confusing. i think this course will only serve to make me more confused, there are rules for everything. and the commas! gosh! i had no idea something so simple could be so hard! 
we had a teatcher named Steve, Steve comes from england, you can tell by the way he talks. Steve has no humor, but he makes jokes anyways, jokes that makes no one laugh. it was brutal.

i also had a teatcher in contemporary history today, he's from Skåne, you could tell by the way he said "Åland" in the middle of all the nice american english. that was funny. kind of the same weird feeling i get when i have to say Laura in swedish while speaking english, but even weirder. 
 
so, i'm coming up to gbg next weekend. it will be nice, meet some friends, just feel at home, know the city and the people, not having to worry about what people really think about you. because you do, really, people say they don't, but that is not true. of course they care. it's a new place and a new town for almost everyone, and you need to make new friends, and until you really get to know people it's hard to feel secure about them. however, i think i'll make some good friends here, eventually. 
the english is coming along, which feels good. atleast i understand everything, but it's alot of extra work. 

btw i had to pay almost 500 kr for my train ticets! insane! that's what they call student price? it's alot of money! 

peace!

and the fringe is back. (or bang(s?) if you are from the U.S) i decided that it was time to do someting about the birdsnest that has been my hair for a couple of months now. so i went down to one of the many hairdressers we have here. she charged me 200:- for my new haircut. i thouht it was a really good price, and i like it. however, it will take me some time to get used to the fact that it needs so much work.
life goes on, i'm thinking of going up to gbg next weekend, not this weekend but the one after that. see my family, my friends and just see if i will be able to go back here. (of course i will be able to, but you know what i mean) take some danceclasses would be fun too. talking about dance, i signed up for a workshop with one of the dancers that were supposed to be on MJs "this is it" tour. how cool is that!
and i'm behind in my studies, there is just so much to read! and yesterdy wasn't exatctly one of my more productive days. it's good we don't have any lectures tomorrow. :p

life here in malmö goes on. as it should be doing I guess. I will become extreamly fit after three years here, i take the bike everywhere. it's nice. it will suck when the real bad weather starts roling in though.
the housing problem for students in malmö is extencive, or so i've heard atleast, i've heard about people sleeping in the central station. that's just sick! makes me realize how lucky i have been, not only did my apartment all but hit me in the face, it's also the best student apartments in malmö acording to the people i have spoken to. and i'm not surprised. i would upload pictures, but my camera have decided that now is a good time to break down compleatly. well, can't be lycky all the time.
got home from the dance class not too long ago. i had a great time actully, but the style, "the L.A style", will take some getting used to. i would like to have more groove in it, but i guess that i'll have to get better at this as well, you should practice on a broad scale. i'm still a litle weirded out that i'm in the highest level. i will absolutley not say that i'm one of the best in the class, but it is the right class for me, anything lower would be too easy. and they give us just enough coreo for me to be able to catch up, which is nice, normaly i feel like they give too much coreo for me to handle in one class.
school. whet can i say? i think it will work out fine as long as i'm up to date with the lectures and try to read some things ahead. and when i get used to the language beeing used. the english the teatchers use in a lecture and the language i use in day to day speaking is quite different from one another. but i think i'll be fine.

(okay, this is all for getting the english writing back into my system, it's been gone for a while, ever since NYC)

I don't know if i'm made for the life of a university student. i think i like sitting on the sofa with a good book or a movie and  cup of tea way too much. i wouldn't call me a loner, but i can not agree that partying and clubing is the best thing ever, not like some of the students' here seem to think. i love clubing, i love dancing so that's a given, but the drinking til you can't stand? i don't really get the facination. really. sure iv'e done it, and regreted it dearly the day after. i just don't know if i think it's worth it.
maybe i'm boring. probably so. i guess i'll live though

it's not that i don't like it here. i do. it's great, and i love my apartment. and the program will come around great i think. i just miss the things that i left behind too. my friends, my family, the dancing. the city, i miss knowing my way around the city like it's my own back pocket. i feel abit stupid walking around with a map.

and tell me, stores did not close at 16:00 on saturdays, right? well, they did here, atleast some of them.

så jag har flyttat till malmö. det finns så mycket som jag skulle kunna berätta om. skriva sida upp och sida ner. men jag orkar inte skriva så mycket. jag kan ju berätta att jag trivs. att jag har hat min första föreläsning och att jag har träffat en tjej som herer kajsa som är väldigt trevlig. hon bor i samma hus som mej och går i samma klass, det är nice.
jag har även kommit in i dansen, det kostar 2100kr för 2x14 klasser, hemma i göteborg betalade jag 2800 för 6x12 klasser, 3400 kr för 8x12. det är DYRT att dansa här. men jag behöver dansa, som ni vet. stilen är inte alls vad jag är van vid så jag känner mej lite lost, men det ska nog bli bra. hängde med ganska bra och då hade de haft koreografin i en lektion tidigare. det roligate är att jag hamnat i den högsta nivån, och att jag faktiskt can hold my own. dansen i göteborg är på så mycket högre nivå. 
jag har för övrigt massor att göra. adressändring och beställning av en bok från internet, tvätta, dammsuga.
sen ska jag ju plugga med. 

en anekdot är att jag kommer bli sjukt fit av att bo här. Laura gör som alla studenter här i malmö och cyklar - överallt, hela tiden.
