Summer is around the corner

Most of the snow is gone now, and the green grass is growing. I can see the birch leaf buds on the trees on my way to uni. It’s a wonderful time, really. You can feel the power of nature at this time of the year, everything happens so fast :)

I’m looking forward to this summer. I don’t have much plans really, but the few I have are awesome and the lack of planning also feels nice. I’m going to relax and spend time with my family to prepare for the scary last year at uni. It will be a busy, exhausting, fun and awesome year, I’m sure. It’s scary to stop studying, something I’ve done for over half of my life, but I definitely look forward to start working. It’s another kind of pressure :)

I’ve also decided to buy myself a Macbook as a reward for finally getting my degree, so I’m going to start saving now. I asked myself, “Do I really need three computers?”. And yes, I do. :D

Back on track

Back in Luleå, back in our apartment. I could say back to life, but everything I do is life really. Just that this is the bigger part of my life right now.

I’ve had a wonderful summer, spending time with my family. Mum and I talk a lot, there’s a lot of crying, discussing, confessing and laughing. I have a lot of things to learn, think about and consider, and I think I know myself better now.

It’s also great to get to talk to my sister, we don’t really get these good talks over msn or phone. There is something special about walking and talking, definitely, and we do it really well :) Boo, I miss them already and I only left yesterday.

I feel stressed. There’s so much I want to do and that I need to get done. I don’t know where to start.

Don’t forget

  • Bare feet in cool, damp grass
  • Children laughing
  • An old man’s smile
  • A colorful old bike
  • Music from a cabriolet passing by
  • A soft rumbling, far, far away
  • Swimming naked in a small lake
  • Singing childrens songs
  • Dreaming

Pink like a pig

Ok so I spent approximately 1h in the sun. I’ve spent days in the sun, without any change at all! But now, now, my shoulders are pink like a pig. Or maybe like a pale tomato. And it hurts. Poor me :(

Summer finally arrived to Sweden, it’s 25-30C and sunny all day long. I will put on a real shirt this time and try to not die from thirst. Somehow my body is really bad at keeping water (or maybe I sweat exceptionally much?) so I have to drink water constantly between 11 and 16 to not get nauseous and get a headache. Bah. I hate water.

But it’s nice to be home. And it’s nice that it’s not raining ALL THE TIME. (Hi Holland!)

Soothing walks

I definitely need to take more walks. With or without music, with or without friends, doesn’t really matter. I ignored the wind and went out for a walk for an hour tonight, it’s so nice when everything is calm and quiet and you can just walk around anywhere. One thing everyone should get a chance to do is taking a summer night walk in a northern part of the world, where the sun never sets. I would of course advise Luleå, and I would definitely join :)

Oh, and don’t forget to remove your shoes and socks and run around a bit at a golf course.
