Wordpress Move
Hejsan Igen, det var ett tag sedan nu. :)
As of today I'll be moving stuff to here : http://ansved.wordpress.com
The address is nicer but the functions and stuff are better as well :) Hope it won't be too confusing for you :)I have however not done this design myself :p You'll just have to cope with the pretty misty bridge
This morning (read lunch) I left Paul by the coach station, he isn't back in Torquay yet tho because it's a long long long journey. Urgh. I've spent the rest of the day easter/spring cleaning and my carpet (why, oh why) floor is looking pretty clean :3 Things are all over the bed still but it's still much cleaner and less things somehow. In the process I packed two more boxes, the first two are being taken care of by Kath and her family. Very kind of them I feel :) And thus! I have more room in my room :) Not much tho.. too much things. Haha.
My wall above the bed is once again clean too (and it took me ages to get the pictures up, I never finished putting them up completely even) but it will be filled soon again by my latest "creative" idea - for a good cause. This good cause would be studying and passing my exams. I do hope it will work out and help as I imagine it too.
AoB does not longer exist in a material sense, as of today/yesterday I believe :) It is now only in my heart and mind. One day it might be brought to life again or the essence of it recreated under a different name. Only time will tell :) It is the best move tho, and I'm really happy about it, although some might disagree with me, and I'm really glad Dave acted like he did.
However if you were/are a member of the guild it is now going under the name of "Legio Draconis" and is led by Dave and others. I'm no longer a part of it myself as I don't game much and my attention have been moved to Defias Brotherhood. Please come with me on future quests there :D and we'll rule the world! (and maybe a future guild :])
♥ R.I.P AoB ♥
Now what to mention... Hm... I have money yay. I, however, have somehow failed to get along with the new login methods for my bank and can therefore not transfer anything to my english account. It will be sorted soon enough tho I hope :) If my mother is kind and help me getting things from the bank in my name haha. I still have to pay the remaning rent for the third "term" soon. I wonder when :o Will go to the Registry next week and see their opening times/if I can pay now.
Speaking about packing and rent. I can't wait until we get to move into the new house! It will be ace. While Paul was here we signed the contract and everything is now sorted. The next thing on the agenda is to pay the (half) rent for July, by July 1st. Paul also met the other girls and now we've all met each other. How lovely :3 I think it will be very good.
The people living in the house will be 4 girls and 1 guy, all at Uni of Kent. 2 study forensic science (aaaaaah!), 2 study Politics and IR, and one (Paul) will be studying Archaeology & Anthropology (it sounds awesome! I forced him to go to a UCAS open day and I had to go as well for him to go and it seems pretty neat. Sometimes I wish I didn't care about the world so I could do something Fun! ^_^'
We didn't have any hot water the other day ! Or like.. for 2 days. We weren't in much so it didn't effect us that much but Paul was asking about it. We then walked by the Campus Watch around 9-10ish while we were out on a walk to ask who we should talk to, when, or such (as much is closed down now due to "easter holiday" and no term) and they sent a guy to fix it within the hour! :O Pretty neat! I love the CampusWatch
Maybe I should go and make dinner..... Hm.... Maybe continue cleaning... or in general just do nothing! I have 6 weeks "off" to study or whatever I want to spend my time doing now so I do feel that I can have an evening of doing nothing :) or whatever I want. Especially after cleaning (in progress) and being a good girl in generel :) No scheduled time for tomorrow so I can have an early or late night as I wish now :)
I do hope Jane calls me soon tho. She said friday but there's no rush. Jane is the (apparently new) manager of the Red Cross shop in town and I talked to her the other week about volunteering and she will call me when she's settled in and knows what's going on with the volunteers (she has to speak to the old manager as she haven't met all current volunteers yet even) so I'm not in a hurry. I hope I'll get to go there for some experience and to do something good with my time :) (Now when I have the time to do good things :D)
University applications due in Sweden soon! (4 days!) I do wonder what they apply for and where they are accepted! :o Miss Spring/Summer in Gothenburg :(
Love to you all - and enjoy the spring weather! :)

Hejsan alla.
I just want to start by thanking all my friends in Goteborg. I got a digital photoframe as a present from them and it's awesome. It argued with me when I was going to fix the setup but now we are the best of friends and I love it. =D Sorry about the delay of saying thanks again tho, I've had it up for a few weeks already. I only wish I had more free spaces to place things on. It's all kind on top of everything atm.
Which leads me to something else - that I'm gonna start packing ! Wooho. As I'll be homeless again the 19th of June I have to send my stuff somewhere else until we will move into our house in September. (Kath has offered to have some boxes at hers, and Charlotte said it might be ok if I had stuff with them too :) So they are all really kind and helpful. A self-storage isn't That expensive but it would still be for 3 months and I'd have to get my things there somewhere (Busride x7?) and it would be an unnecessary expense. :) So I'm gonna start packing in a box or two soon so and then I'll get more space too. Gonna go through my things to see if there's anything I don't want/need that I can give away. Will take some time and energy tho (but it would be fun!) of which I don't have atm. Not gone to bed when I should have and been working on my essays! (I actually have! go me ^^ only a whole essay left and 866 words too many on the third one)
I have my exam schedule now, and my last exam will be the 16th of June. They'll all be in a sports hall and .. well... when I wrote it down in my dairy the pen I got hold of was a glittery one so now the exams are all shimmering and stuff. I guess I unconsciously believe it well be happy, happy times! (or not lol)
My second term ends the 9th of May (4 days after easter lol) so I'll be for about 6 weeks and all the time in between the exams too. I'm planning on maybe volunteering for 2 weeks in the British Red Cross Shop - if they want me.
Here is my exam schedule:
17 May: 14.00-16.00 International History & IR
1 June: 14.00-16.00 Intro. to International Politics
2 June: 9.30-11.30 The Rise of China
3 June: 9.30-11.30 Into. to Government (INIT Graduation!)
10 June: 9.30-11.30 European Integration
11 June: 9.30-11.30 Intro. to Political Thought
16 June: 14.00-16.00 Key Issues in British Politics Today (My motivation will surely be High for this one... Last And Boring)
I feel slightly worried that 50% of all courses' grades are based around 2 hours exam. Barely sufficient I'd say but hey ho.
They seem to have really nice spring/summer clothes in town atm. Shame I don't have more money (does anyone know when CSN transfers money for the 3rd term?) lol :P Josefine had a shopping spree on her roadtrip and brought some really nice stuff (she showed it all lol) and I must say she's getting a rather nice taste in style. :)
On Sunday (hopefully) we'll meet Philippa and get our House sorted. :) I'll keep you updated! Paul's coming here on Saturday :)
I have brough stuff from the kitchen into my room now, they obviously can't read "don't use my stuff" and understand the meaning of it so I just brought my stuff into my room (no space) since I don't have the time or the energy to wash up the double amount since I find dirty stuff in my drawer among the (before) clean stuff. Only removed my cutlery and knives and that, glasses, plates, pots and pans, and stuff will just have to be out there for now.
R.I.P My Lovely Brush. He served me well the last years. I'll never find a good replacement. :(
Och Secrett ar i Egypten i 2 veckor! Klart man vill prata med personer just nar de ar borta! haha. Secrett kom hem nu sa jag kan skicka onodigt Youtube lankar till dig!
I got Voddler :3 Yay. Unfortuntely I can't use it unless I am actually physically in Sweden. The same goes for Tv3 + Tv6 play. Oh well. For all those who can watch BBC iPlayer (ppl in the UK I imagine) I recommend the Undercover Princesses program! It kinda silly, and they are kinda... stupid at times x) But it's kinda fun to watch. They e.g. couldn't really understand how to make a cake (and it was a bake mix). :)
Basically, it's about 3 (IRL) princesses who wants to find true love without ppl just liking them for their title. They therefore comes to Britain (as no one knows them/their face) to find their love in 3 weeks while having normal jobs and living together in a normal house. They come from a province in Germany, a province in Uganda, a province in India.
I should continue on my essay now :) European Integration in the 1960s! Fun fun.. :)

War on (of?) Terror
I have signed up to be a Red Recruit for the Red Cross UK. :) Yay. Me doing something good :)
I just did my registration for modules in my 2nd and 3rd year and they will be (if they are accepted) the following (if people are interested):
Year 2
♫ Political Research and Analysis (compulsory)
♫ Ethics in International Relations
♫ Terrorism and Political Violence
♫ Foreign Policy Analysis and Management (Double size module)
♫ International Organisation: the UN System (compulsory)
♫ The Global Burden of Disease: Globalisation and International Health (Double size module)
Year 3
♫ Modern Classics of Comparative Politics (compulsory)
♫ Anthropology and Development
♫ Disasters
♫ International Environmental Politics (no other good options for this slot really)
♫ The US and Latin America
♫ International Conflict Analysis & Resolution
♫ Rights, Freedom, and Individualism: Contemporary Liberalism in Question
♫ Humanitarian Communication
Unfortunately, the only one they could offer about Africa is not available until 2012/13 - the year after I've (hopefully) graduated. :(
Today I went to a guest leacture/event where we watched the movie : "Outside the Law: Stories from Guantánamo Bay" where the co-maker of the movie (and the author of the book that the movie is based on) Andy and one of the prisoners, Omar, came for a Question session.
Very interesting, very sad, very horrific. >.< ;_; Watch it.
Me leaving now. Sad, powerless, panda. :(

It buuuurns...
It's clearly spring here :) The sun is burning me through the open window. Not anymore tho, I've just hung up a duvet cover on the curtain rail (sorta) and hopefully it won't burn a hole in it ;) (Yes, I'm being a good girl)
The other day I was thinking of moving my blog to another blog-provider, I do not really enjoy this one. I've been looking at one and tried it out and it mets my approval. You might get a link to it soonish... I've not made the design there tho, I've not had the energy or the time for it (I've been working on my essay) but I do kinda like the one you could get pre-made. :)
I feel like gaming today, and just have a day doing nothing productive at all, but of course that won't happen. I have to read for my seminar and finish off the essay that's due first. I've written a draft for 2 but not finished either but it's still... kinda good I think. I haven't gamed for like... a week... x) Secrett: "oj da" lol. Surprise surprise.
And... shame on me... but I find Lady Gaga's new song (Telephone with Beyonce) pretty good. The worst part is Beyonce's part lol :) I don't generally like her but well... at least I won't go to the length of posting it here. You'll have to look it up yourselves.
Another good song is Nickelback's "If Today Was Your Last Day" :) That one was almost on repeat while I was writing 75% of my essay yesterday :)
A few days ago I was watching the English version of Melodifestivalen on BBC iPlayer and OMG, IT'S A DISASTER! :O Basically what they did is that it's only one single program (1 and a half hours) where they have picked 6 artists/bands from before and this songwriter decides 1 old hit they have to perform to show if they are "up to it" or "good enough" to represent GB. Then 3 of them goes on (a jury decides) and they all have to sing Their Version of the same song (that the songwriter wrote). The guy who won was Josh ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0vHnZDX1GI ) The song is called "That sounds good to me" and it is not too bad but still, that's not a lot of things to choose from...
So even though the Swedish tradition includes some bad songs and stuff, at least we get to choose and it's something fun to do with your family or friends :) And... the worst of it... they call the program "Eurovision: Your Country Needs You." *runs around in circles*
I have to choose the modules for year 2 and 3 soon (By the 26th of March) and I'm not entirely sure what to pick. :/ There are so many restrictions too! "You can't read more than this in that and that and then.."
Tonight it will be the left overs from yesterday (as I always cook for two) ^^ Spaghetti and minced meat sauce a la me :) I should come up with a name for it, to make it sound more appetizing. :) Mot Sherwoods' skogen!
Love

Väggar
Jag är trött. Försov mig nästan till min föreläsning i morse. Jag vaknade 9.48 (igen) och var vid lektionssalen vid 10.02 eller något - duktigt. Jag somnade nästan igen när jag nyss försökte läsa om de politiska partierna i Storbritannien - fast det kan ju bero på något helt annat ;)
Jag sov hela natten i natt - vaknade för tidigt dock. Men har annars haft problem med att somna, att jag gått och lagt mig sent ovanpå det hela har väl inte heller hjälpt men ändå, det har jag ju alltid gjort.
Jag fick en brilliant idé idag dock, något att skriva om... kanske till min dissertation i trean?
Vi betalade £500 igår och reserverade vårt hus. Yay. 100 var och sedan 350 när vi skriver på kontraktet som hon sedan använder till Juni 2011's hyra (alltså sista hyran på året). Vi bör ha allting färdigt och påskrivet tills i början på April :) Hyran borjas betalas i Juli 2010 , så en månad senare än de vanliga husen vi tittat på innan.
Huset ligger på Martyrs Field Road 19, Canterbury CT1 3PT. Precis i närheten av Canterbury East Train Station (vi har en West också) och har 5 rum (4 st. med 'dubbel' sang och 1 singel), ett kök, ett fint badrum!, en bakgård (med gräs) och ett litet vardagsrum. Det är väldigt ljust och fräscht. Singel rummet kommer bli ett gästrum =) Jag planerar på att använda väggarna i det rummet för mina studier dock, om de andra godkänner. Min världsplaner och allt det dära. Jag har inte många bilder, men ni får se när vi flyttat in. September 2010 eller något.
Nu måste jag gå, Seminar om Politiska partier. Jag har inte läst allt :/ Anyway... Byeski.
Och skärpning med kommentarerna! LoL.

Constructivism & Fiskbullar
Okay, so we didn't get the house. Lovely. A group of guys were chosen instead by the landlord. I feel... yes... like that...
Anyway, we've now booked 3 new viewings on monday morning. It will only be me and Keeley looking though since the others are out of town. If they aren't any good we'll have a look on wednesday, or if that's bad on friday and so on. Dave said he'd be my guarantor, as long as I don't skip paying the rent. :) Thank Yoooou, that's one issue less to think about. (The person in question has to be UK based and earn a certain amount during a year to be accepted, if you don't have one (especially if you're international) you have to pay for a whole year in one go, and international students a year in advance... sigh? I'll have problems paying the first quarter rent in June! What wouldn't I have if I had to pay the whole rent for a year in one go?)
I have been looking for work for the summer, but England doesn't have much to offer. They are just as odd with this as with student accommodation. Student Flats just don't exist - weirdly student houses do. And the term a "summer job" seems just as foreign as student flats. Here you have bank positions, graduate jobs, apprenticeships, volunteering and much more but summer jobs just won't do. I've therefore turned my gaze towards Sweden and applied for work at Maxi, Kalmar, as well as Lidl, Kalmar atm. Maybe I'll apply for more, especially I might ask my grandmother to hand in my CV to Ica Rockneby. Interviews would be problematic though. I desperately need a job, and not being paid is not an option (otherwise I might have volunteered at the Living Coast in Torquay, ♥ penguins!!!).
Secrett talked me into ordering food from Tesco's again. Lazy :( But.. that means I will recieve food tomorrow, even if I'm too lazy to go into town since that might have happened. Today, however, Swedish fiskbullar will be served with lobster sauce and potatoes :D Yum Yum. Only got 2 tins with be from Sweden though, but this will be the first I use - so a whole meal left still!
Today's lecture was really interesting, there are few I've enjoyed as much. They're all interesting but on different levels. Today is was about Constructivism and I think I agree more with that theory/ideology than many of the others (Realism, Idealism, Liberalism, Marxism, the English School etc). No offence to anyone thinking differently.
I am not entirely happy/satisfied with Blogspot, there are probably other better Blogsites out there. Just a tip if you'd want to create one, don't do it here. (well.. you could if you're not needing it for much but I would like to be able to put in embedded videos and also other stuff without it always complaining about the errors in the HTML - I'm not writing it Blogspot, You are writing the HTML code incorrectly and I correct it for you to enable it for posting.)
Anyway... (How I love that word)

Dancin'
We had amazing weather yesterday, sunny and not too windy. Lovely Spring weather.
At 7 I'm going to meet Keeley and Charlotte to make the last things before we have a confirmed house. Charlotte has instructions for how to pay our fee/deposit and stuff and is going to tell us at Woody's tonight :) Kath is unfortunately (and fortunately as well) at home and getting her leg checked :) Hopefully she won't have to go many more times so that's good. Our address for next year will probably be Gordon Road, we do not dare to wait any longer to hear from the other house (that looks too good to be true and probably is as well... since he hasn't bothered answering his email (it's been Days!))
I miss dancing :( Or a weekly routine outside of University but oh well. I'm almost considering contra dancing - it seems to be the closest you can come to SQ in this region.
2008 YDW Techno Contra from Forrest O. on Vimeo.
Soon we have to decide the modules for next year, I've had a look at it and all the interesting ones are not until 3rd stage or "not available 10/11" (also only available Stage 3). I'll have a closer look as to what Law, Sociology, or Anthropology offers...
At the seminar today (Key Issues in British Politics Today) we discussed the electoral reform, and I defended Proportional Representation (rather than First past the post). Are you proud of me now, Sweden? (Not that I was the only one to defend it - the majority did but still ;P)
I have also set up a new Savings account (listen to that!) :) They are being weird and asking me to fill in stuff and then when they send papers back saying that they've already done what I requested. Not an issue really, just a bit silly. :)
Outside my window, 1st of March. (L)
I'll write soon again about the house business :)

Sunny Pic Update
So I'm back to Canterbury and its rainy weather. It's quite spring-like though so it's not as dull and depressing as one would think. (At least not coming from the piles of snow in Sweden. Pictures to come!) Today I had Tesco deliver food to my door! How luxurious isn't that? He was really nice too haha, that is probably why I am awake at this hour - deliberately chosen an early delivery slot to get out of bed. Go me!
This afternoon (at 5 pm) I'm going to a guest lecture with Dr Robert Schuetze from Durham Law School at Durham University. He's giving a lecture about Federalism and European Union: American and European Perspectives which is related to his recently published book I believe. And then there will be Cottage Pie for dinner and Guild Meeting to accompany it :)
Tomorrow, Thursday, Paul is going to two interviews at Hadlow College (Countryside Management & Garden Design) and he's really nervous. His Dad is taking him there tonight (too kind!) but I don't think I'll see them at all while they're down (nearby) here. They have to get home afterwards afterall.
Oh hello there Mrs Sun! The rain stopped :) Writing essays when it's sunny and warm through the glass and the occasional breeze can't be that bad :) I have 4 essays due in a month and the topics of them will be (no particular order):
The best Lunch place in Gbg! Slimfood in Nordstan. Nom Nom. I guess that's a place I'll never take Paul :P
I'm missing 2 glasses, which is annoying, I'm wondering who has used them/kept them in their room/smashed them or what not. They're not in the kitchen, not in my cupboard, and not in my room. They have also been using cutlery and other material, which I had to clean up this morning if I ever wanted to be able to use it again.

- In what sense was the decade of the 1960s a watershed in the history of European Integration?
- Discuss the reasons for Maoist China's isolation from International Society up to the end of the 1960s.
- 'Reform of the House of Lords is largely unnecessary. Reform of the House of Commons is utterly essential'. Evaluate this view.
Snow in Sweden!
1. View from Window
2. Outside Staircase to Basement
3. Cars covered
4. Men removing snow from roof.
I recieved a parcel from my sister the other day, her handwriting has become so neat! :) She has an essay to write as well and her thesis is: We must act to stop inhuman labor practices. So Good Luck on that little one. She did get 95/100 on the last one (I believe) so I'm sure there won't be any problems with this one either if she learnt anything from the last essay ;)
Yesterday Evening, I met up with Kath, Keeley, and Charlotte and we talked about houses for next academic year. We all seemed to get along (according to me) so I'm sure it will be great! We're going to some viewings on Friday but I already know what I house I'd prefer (tho one was taken last night at 7 pm.. silly silly :p) since it looks amazing! Once I know what house we get I'll post some pictures :) Either here or on facebook :p
Bad hair day? Susann, Ella, Me in Gbg :)
Love Susann's expression in pic. no. 2!
I really need to get something done today since my room looks really messy. I've requested two books from the library store that I can collect tomorrow, but I need to read two of the books I already have to be able to get them out (there's a limit of 12 books /cry) 20 for postgrads lol :)

Monday evening was nice, we had great dinner and then we looked at old pictures of me around the age of 2-5. I was cute back then. Slept in the bed upstairs for the first time and was warm enough - I did prepare with socks and two blankets above the covers and everything. =) Tuesday morning we headed back to town and I forgot to ask for a key (no I don’t have one to either of the places) so I didn’t get in but mum came quickly to give it to me. We went into town and looked around. In the evening we had dinner at dad’s again and looked at some more pictures before we went back into town and mum and I watched Over my dead body. Eva Longoria is an hilarious actress to watch – even though she can only play one type of character but it’s hilarious still.
At lunch time last Wednesday I came to Gothenburg. The day was spent at town in the company of Secrett, Ella, Pat, Wanda, Alex, Susann, and Jos and we had a look around and finished by having salad (and Sushi for some) at a lovely food place in the middle of Nordstan. Later on we (Secrett, Wanda, and Alex) got the round tour of Alex’ house, that was after we helped a lady get out of the snow with her car – it was easy so we have doubts about her driving capability (which increased after we saw how she decided to continue to drive to make room for the waiting car). We also managed to pick up a printer (including scanner and copier) that his family was going to throw. Secrett has said he’s going to post it to me but I’m trying to convince him to keep it at his until/if I move back and use it himself until then. He doesn’t seem convinced yet.
I’ve finished writing two new role play threads. It’s awesome :D Mikaela says she’s soon done with an answer to a thread with Beau and Alizee Yay. At the moment I’m just trying to satisfy my need for writing things which awoke again after writing the two new things. It’s not necessarily good. The people around me are playing Mario Cart and someone is playing Toad in a baby booster – it looks cute but weird since it’s supposed to be some sort of car-vehicle. It reminds me about Secrett’s friend that we saw on the bus last night and his girlfriend is apparently pregnant. He’s my age and well... I’ll just leave it at that.
Earlier today we... well... slept, well that’s what Secrett and Alex claim, they were awake a few hours before Wanda and me. Once I was actually awake, I updated the guild’s website: http://www.angelsofblood.eu . I tried to have a shower but failed to see how to get it working (I did try! Haha) but had to change shower to succeed. Yes, please laugh. :P
When everyone came here we went to Ica to buy food (mm Herrljunga pear cider 0.7%) and when we got back everyone surrounded me with Super Bros Smash Brawl. I joined in after a while. Pikachu ftw.
Secrett’s mother made Semlor and gave to us, twice :) She’s so sweet. She was also more than happy to lend me their car if we ever feel like going somewhere during these days. Trust or not, but a driving’s license was enough haha. Susann drove a Chicken during Mario Cart just now, but apparently it was King Boo – a ghost. It really looked like a chicken tho.
My laptop is really slow at the moment; I suppose I have to blame myself for not having the patience to run one computer scan at a time... 4 scans and msn + internet + word is not a good mix for a laptop, especially not without dual core. We watched Tarzan which gave my computer a little rest from my impatience so it could work somewhat peacefully.
We also had Christmas and Birthday present exchanging. They finally opened my box of xmas presents that I sent them 2 and a half months ago. :) They gave me a digital photo frame :O Like.. Omg? (L) I should probably let my computer have some peace again. “Time elapsed : 5 hours 51 minutes.” Sigh. OOooh and btw, I got a first on my essay! 73% - a first! I’m so haaaaaappy. :D

My PC Doesn't Drink Fanta
Brrr, it's cold out there :)
Yesterday, I spent the day in church and later on with my bodyguard, husband, and son: Malin and Emzz, and had a great time! =) They found some stuff they really liked in town, including a coat and jeans, and I found the most amazing red skirt <3.
Gavin ^__^
When I got home we (my two brothers & my brother's gf) had McDonalds Icecream (The new one is pretty good: McFlurry Lion) and played a game of canasta. =) We played Whist the other day. Card games are fun. =D I also bought a Wow magazine (lol) to look through. Tankin tips ftw :D
Today I went to the dentist ^^ (I would be the only one to write a smiley there I suppose lol) and he said everything looked fine so I don't have to come tomorrow as well =) Afterwards, I spent the morning with grandma and we had fika and then I found a nice bag. I still need another bag to replace the one I was planning on replacing though. =)
Tonight it will be salmon pate :D Yum yum. Hopefully my dad managed to get internet working at his place now as we'll be staying there over night. Not sure what tomorrow will bring yet.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, is the yearly Fettisdagen (Shrove Tuesday) which means eating at least one Semla, a swedish sweet bread bun with almond icing and whipped cream. It's not only sold during this day but you can only buy it around this period. (Or make them yourself =D) I've already been served small home-made ones in church :D It was delicious!

Lich King!
Now I'm in Sweden and I arrived here in one piece, believe it or not.
I left Canterbury on Thursday at 10.30 and when I came to the station (I had to walk there in the snow and water since the local traffic wasn't working, not even on the main road which didn't have snow on it) at 11.30 - 20 minutes before my coach was supposed to leave. I went in to the information and was told all the coaches (from National Express) were suspended. Lovely. I managed to take a train (which was delayed and it took a while for it to get from station to station) and got to Victoria station and to my coach connection in time. Arrived on the airport in time and the flight was only delayed by half an hour at arrival in Sweden. What else to expect from Ryanair though?
I spent a great day in Goteborg yesterday - I saw the Frozen Lake where the Lich King came to get the drake. Secrett has promised to tell me about them if he ever sees them. The train journey was peaceful and uneventful and I arrived in Kalmar on time (and it's more snow here in Sweden in general than it is/was in England). Very reliable. Yes all you swedes! I'm telling you. SJ is very reliable.
Jonathan doesn't remember me :( and that makes me a bit sad, I suppose I've been away too long for him. Almost 6 months. Mum and I went to do grocery shopping and I got to drive :D It was so much fun, even though her current car is a automatic rental car. Simplified driving? Lots of snow as well but went fine. Now I have to peel potatoes for tonight's dinner before the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest choosing thingy.

World Map Plans
What's the norm of how often you publish a post to a blog? I guess it's just when the blogger feels like it or find the time. :)
The coming two days will be very busy. I have a long list of small but essential things that have to be done, and it adds up to a lot. I have to do it in a certain order as well to be able to do some of the things. E.g. Go to the store and buy stamps is something I have to do before I do my laundry - simply because I will get coins for the laundry machine by buying stamps. Logical, isn't it.
I'm planning on redoing my notice-/pin-board, however I'm thinking it might be silly since I'll have to take it down again in just a few months. I'd still like to do it though, and knowing me I probably will. I like doing and putting to practice all of what I plan in my head - sometimes it takes a long time to finish but I always start it quite soon after it's thought of... Sadly it doesn't work like that for essays or coursework in general.
The plans for the board includes: a world map, some string or wire, some "see-through" push pins, lots of research, printing, cutting and organising. It would be awesome, but very full. I'd have to narrow down my research... shame. And the things that are already on my board... well it will be hanging very overlapping around the edges, thrown, organised in folders, or packed in a box/bag until I move - again.
Kath is back now, I saw her yesterday. Moving around is a chore for her though so not a lot of seminars or lectures she can attend yet. We might be meeting on Wednesday (and I have so much to do on Wednesday as it is a whole free day before I leave haha!) to look at a house for next year. Hopefully she will be content to to wait with a decision until I come back. Another week shouldn't matter when "we" have been "waiting" for her ankle to get better a whole month. It will be Kath, Paul, and me, or possibly Kath, Paul, Keeley, Charlotte, and me next year. I have to get in touch with Keeley when she gets back from Dorset to see where they are standing on this particular matter. They might decide to live with the other 3 girls (who have been described as unfair, lazy, and not very caring) since that was their original plan. I have not met Charlotte, but all in all I think that would be pretty good =) Chickflick Night, anyone?
We will (probably), regardless of who ends up in the house, have a guestroom for anyone who wish to visit :D
I have to run off to my seminar in "Key Issues in British Politics Today" soon - Topic: A Decline in Citizen Participation? Afterwards it will be: stamps shopping, possible shopping of a Uni of Kent hoodiiieee, Check-in with Ryanair in the library, and look for a book for Thursday at the same place, and then a seminar between 5 and 6 in "The Rise of China". Possibly I'll do some laundry after that... we'll see what discipline I have =)
I feel like tanking something.

Liberty & Tea
Being Sunday and all I decided to be a bit adventurous with the food (well I actually decided in the store last week when I bought it but well.. details!) and I microwaved my Chinese Chicken and Mushroom-food (Yes Microwaved food ftw :P) and after it was heated I realised it had no rice or anything. It didn't delay my dinner that much tho, since I still had half the pile of dishes left to do. I decided in the end to go with the tortillas I found in my cupboard when I was searching for the rice. They had to be eaten anyway so that made perfect sense. Not too bad actually.
When I was doing the dishes tho, I was reminded by tea and coffee (as I now have actually served 3 Different people tea here. Awesome!). I didn't have any tea or coffee when I lived in Gothenburg and my dad said it was essential to have, even if I didn't drink it myself and somehow I got hold of some loose teabags and small coffeethings (I think my dad gave them to me) which was all good - however, I think he was the only one to drink of them. :) Possibly Susann as well - she hanged around a lot then. Point being: I don't see how coffee and tea is so crucial to have to be able to serve friends (even though it's lovely to be able to count numerous things of what you have to offer) when you can't really supply enough chairs or even a table to put the mugs on. Everyone loves beds but... some people (if you don't know them well) just don't feel comfortable making themselves at home in someone's bed and sit nervously on the edge (and that must really hurt their backs if it's a long visit). [And no I'm not talking about Dave and Angela, I'm sure they are more than comfortable in my tiny room x) They just made me think of it since I've been in similar situations myself]
But then again, this line of thought (yes this is the kind of things I think about when I do the dishes and such lol) made me think about the Liberty lecture we had last term. That equality of freedom will never be met, or not in an equal sense, since we all value different things more than others. And many might exchange their, e.g. right to vote, to be able to have a cup of coffee in peace every morning since they care more about the coffee than many other things. Or rather they'd feel that people are imposing on their freedom if they aren't allowed to drink that cup of coffee. So I guess it's good that I have tea (not coffee) to offer, since some people simply value a cup of tea more than a chair to sit on.
I am now (after this post) going to read for Monday's seminar (which is interesting but not as interesting as last term's seminars) about Realism. Kenneth Waltz' journal article "Realist Thought and Neorealist Theory" is waiting for me. 37 bad quality pages on the computer is not what I would prefer to read.
On the 17th of February (a Wednesday) I'll be arriving in Gothenburg at 12-ish. It will be a shopping day for all who wish to join me :) Shopping (looking?), lunch, friends, talk, shoes, february day in town. It will be awesome! =D And lots of fun. Come if ya like! :D It will be from about 12-ish (12.30 maybe?) till whenever we grow bored, shops close (6-7) or until you have to leave. :) So if you feel like popping up just for an hour or two do so! :D
Me on me Birthday :) so a very updated photo :)
Love
When I was doing the dishes tho, I was reminded by tea and coffee (as I now have actually served 3 Different people tea here. Awesome!). I didn't have any tea or coffee when I lived in Gothenburg and my dad said it was essential to have, even if I didn't drink it myself and somehow I got hold of some loose teabags and small coffeethings (I think my dad gave them to me) which was all good - however, I think he was the only one to drink of them. :) Possibly Susann as well - she hanged around a lot then. Point being: I don't see how coffee and tea is so crucial to have to be able to serve friends (even though it's lovely to be able to count numerous things of what you have to offer) when you can't really supply enough chairs or even a table to put the mugs on. Everyone loves beds but... some people (if you don't know them well) just don't feel comfortable making themselves at home in someone's bed and sit nervously on the edge (and that must really hurt their backs if it's a long visit). [And no I'm not talking about Dave and Angela, I'm sure they are more than comfortable in my tiny room x) They just made me think of it since I've been in similar situations myself]
But then again, this line of thought (yes this is the kind of things I think about when I do the dishes and such lol) made me think about the Liberty lecture we had last term. That equality of freedom will never be met, or not in an equal sense, since we all value different things more than others. And many might exchange their, e.g. right to vote, to be able to have a cup of coffee in peace every morning since they care more about the coffee than many other things.

Blog Creation
It's a blog.... omg it's a blog. I don't like blogs. I prefer all the other methods of writing and communicating with friends. Blogs have always for me been associated with blondes, fashion, IQ-bathing ball and so forth (hm.. maybe I just described myself =P), with exceptions. But here I am, creating a blog. My reasons might be weird, but as I'm not talking to my friends as often as I'd like to, and my family always want to know what I'm upto but I don't feel the need to tell them by phone since it happened weeks ago I'll write stuff down here and people can stalk me and keep updated and... maybe not bug me As much with calls ;) I'm Not a Phone person.
I am quite happy with the layout, mainly edited by me including pictures and everything :) But I'm sure I'll change it a tad more as time goes on. If I can get it to work ;)
So it was my Birthday last friday (5th) and Dave and Angela have been down over the weekend and spent time with me :D It's been great :) We've basically just been eating and drinking (non-alcoholic for me of course :P) and walked around. Perfect :D
They have almost talked me into taking back the leadership of my baby: Angels of Blood. I just hope we can get socials and the authority to work this time around. I think, at least I feel more disciplined than last term so I should be alright for time and organising things. Yay :)
And yes, I tend to write a lot since writing is the most natural way for me to express myself (talking with close friends but that's about it lol) :) So suit yourselves if you want to keep track of me. :)
