Last weekend I was very excited about my B-day as I've never spent it in Sweden before. I have spent it in Scotland, in Switzerland, in Finland and in Estonia but never here. And I started thinking that maybe I should celebrate my B-day in a different country every year - do it for 20 years and then post a video about it in Youtube. I'll think about it. I also thought that I'll suddenly get very wise when I turn 22.
My birthday was a Monday which generally isn't the best time for celebrations. But I did try to make the most of it. I woke up happily, got dressed and after collecting the tag for the laundry room and chatting with a friend I decided to take the bus to the city center. First I treated myself with a cup of coffee and a giant chocolate muffin. Unfortunately I had chosen to sit on the second floor in that tiny cafe and it was so hot in there I had trouble breathing so I was forced to run out and get some FRESH AIR! The poor muffin was left behind half eaten. From there I walked to the "Centralen" bus stop to catch a number 2 to Västra Hamnen. I had decided that I should do some serious thinking about my life, the future and everything as I was a 22-year-old wise woman. So there I sat by the sea and thought. But on my way back home I was just as confused about everything as always so I decided to buy myself a big candle, some brie cheese and kitchen towels. Hopefully next year I'll get some more clarifying thoughts about the future.
In the evening the friend I had had a chat in the morning suddenly called up and asked me over to eat some apple pie with some friends. Apparently I shouldn't spend my B-day evening all alone. Very sweet of them! In the end I had a lovely B-day although I ended up catching a bunch of keys thrown from 7th floor with my face. A lip cut open was to remind me of my B-day ;)
Rest of the week carried on pretty quietly with me mostly procrastinating while I should've had studied. On Wednesday I did manage to get myself to the library by 9am when they opened their doors but after few hours I found I was so full of politics I could hardly keep my eyes open and all I could think about was the lecture we were supposed to have at 4pm. Til 7pm. I somehow managed to stay awake though I did yawn every other minute for the whole terribly boring 3 hours. On Thursday I procrastinated a bit more and then realised I wouldn't be able to read everything before Friday's seminar unless I studied til midnight and then woke up at 5.30 to study a bit more. So I did that and it didn't help me at all. The regular studying would've been much more useful. What a suprise!
So yesterday I woke up at 5.30 and by 2pm I was so tired I thought I was gonna fall asleep on the street. But I had decided to stay awake at least til 9pm cos as I student it would be a crime to go to sleep on Friday night before 9pm! Unfortunately the postman was lovely and brought me the book I had ordered for my B-day and in the end I stayed up til 2am reading just to wake up at 6.30 to do laundry! It's not easy to be a student!
The weather has changed and looks like it's gonna start raining soon (and it's just as windy as always). So it's gonna be fun when my mum arrives soon and we can carry all the boxes full or useful/ useless stuff I asked her to bring to me in a pouring rain. And I have to mention I'm very proud of her driving all the way here from Finland!!!
