update

Not much more to add here. Work is shit. I realized that three days a week is enough. I was going to reunite woth my gym habits, but that didn't happen since they decided to have an early closing this week.

And I lost my Student Oyster card. So now I'm travelling grown up price until I get my new card which I just sent for.

OH!

And today is one year since I went away for my life changing journey. I do miss it, travelling around, not having to think about anything normal life issues.

So now I go to bed, and tomorrow is New Years Eve.

ja

Yeah yeah, I'm back and working 7 days this week.

If it makes you happy it can't be that bad.

Spending some time with my mum here one hour before I leave this home for some time again. Usually my mum and I can't have a normal conversation without raising our voices, but today is really nice. It makes me happy.

Christmas Day

Christmas Eve

Going to my dad's was amazing in all ways.

Amazingly cute place they bought on the country side. I really can't wait to go back for summer. And it's always nice to see my dad and my second mum. It's always hard to say good bye when I know I won't see them in a while.

And why do you aways get so full during Christmas. I wouldn't say I eat that much more, but I had lunch at around 2 pm and now, eight hours later, I'm still full.

And it alwys amazes me how you think so highly of this day when it's really one of the longest and quite boring days of the year. But the fact that it's a tradition and you are wth your family and people close makes the long hours okay to stay awake. Even though I sneeked in a nap while watching Donald Duck's Christmas on the TV.


So yeah, I would have loved to stay longer, but I really want to see my grand parents and my cousins tomorrow too. And I needed to come home so that I could pack my bags. Again.

It really is bitter sweet, but this is life.

Oh, and Merry Christmas to you all!

series

Tonight my dear friend Fabian came over, along with my brothers. Well my baby brother lives at my mum's, but yeah, I was happy to see my big brother coming along. That's actually quite rare.

We ate and watched a few episodes of Son of Anarchy, starting where my brother was, somewhere in season three. Seems pretty good.


Now I wonder where my bf is. His phone is dead, so I don't know weather his flight to London were on time, delayed or cancelled. He should be home by now, so I figure it might have been a delay.

It's 22.30 and I feel tired. Time for another heavy sleep night .

Or, wait. I just got stuck in Gossip Girl again.

The day before the day before Christmas Eve.

I've had two really amazing days with my bf here in Sweden. And today I really hope ge gets to go home. Not that I don't want him here, but he's gonna cook for Nigella on Christmas Eve. That's a good job.

So yeah. Time to get dressed and leave him at the Central Station.
Then I'm gonna Christmas Shop with my baby brother, if he ever wakes up.

time for a nap

Yes, my bf is leaving London now, just four hours late. But at least he's coming. Now I can sleep for a long three hours, so yeah, Good night Sweden, and good morning South Corea.

today.

So this was my day....

Started off with a message from Elin saying her flight was cancelled. That woke me and by bf up since we had a quite... eh... weird night.

Then we had a greally good day up til when I was leaving.

I came about two hours early, as you should, to the airport. Everything went smooth, but there was a lot of people. Then I found out that there were so many cancelled and delayed flights, and the information was shit.

So basically I sat on the floor, looking at the monitors for flights to come up. After about four hours I saw; Stockholm - Please Wait. And after another 20 minutes I saw; Go to Gate 31. Only after passing the next monitor it said; Closing Gate. So we were so many people just running to get to the gate in time. While there, we had to sit down another 15 minutes before they started to take on board passenger.

At that time my bf had made it to the airport and was coming to see me for a while. But we ended up getting a hug and a kiss just before I entered the as the last person. I was actually crying a bit too.

That was about 5 hours ago. My bf is still at the airport in Gatwick waiting to leave. The reason for another 1,5 hours delay is that they're short on staff.


I've been travelling the world, spending 15 hours at the capital of Costa Rica, and then another 12 hours in Florida, not know where to go in NY, and spend 3 days straight on buses. That was tiring. But today I was crying a bit. Pittying myself.

Now I just want my bf to be able to get here. I would not be a happy girl if his flight ended up cancelled.

hemma hemma.

I'm home. God damnit it feels good. I really hope my baby will make it. Oh it's so nice to be home.

I'm coming back home

So yeah, my flight is not cancelled. My friend's is. And my boyfriend was lucky too.

So we'll be there tonight. Time to start packing the bags.
BYE:


Oh mum, if you see this. I'm landing at 19.20. Cheers.

Will I stay or will I go?

So today has been all about being nervous that I won't make it home for Christmas. They closed the airports early this morning and yeah, I'm flying tomorrow. The reason is a few inches of snow. But tonight has been very mild, and on the website ther're saying that my flight is on time tomorrow. Fingers crossed.


Then I had a staff party with my co-workers... interesting and a bit too much information came out. And that of course I have to go over the same thing with my bf as always, which I'm getting really tired of doing. So yeah, I said that maybe it's better his flight is cancelled tomorrow. I was super excited about him coming to Sweden, but I don't want to waste my time on someone who obviously doesn't care about what I'm saying, or at least not when he's drunk.

So again. Fingers crossed. I want to go home.

svea land

WO wo wooooooo. Tomorrow is the last boring work day before I go home to Sweden. My bf is coming too, and we're hopeing our flights wont be delayed.

Today I bought some gifts. Nothing special, but I can't come home with nothing. Eeeh. Yeah. I guess I see you dear family in two days. Until then...

The girl with the aura.

Emily very strong on lead vocals - great sound and stage presence. Nice key solo. Cool segue into Soulman. Pure entertainment. Something for everyone to enjoy here. Graceful vocals, Humor, routines, dynamics, joyous faces and well selected garments. Lead vocals on this has an aura that draws you in.


What can I say? I was happy like a child when I heard what the assessors wrote about the song I performed. We all did good and got a M+, which isn't the best you could get, but we got the best grade of al the bands playing. That's something.

exam week

My Harmony and Theory exam went alright. No more I think. It wasn't that I didn't know how to come up with the answers, I'm just a bit slow to figure it out. So today the time was my enimy. But I'll pass it. That's what matters.

On the other hand my band got a distinction as out grade for our performance. Yes, that's the best you could get, and there were not many bands that got it. So yeah, pretty proud. Tomorrow we'll get all the feedback.

As for tonight, I've been to the gym and to Nando's with my bf. And I've booked his flight to Sweden. Now I can finally start studyin for my exams I have tomorrow. He he. I'll be fine. I'll be fine. Right?

The day before Lucia.

Last night I had a really good night sleep. Maybe because my bf wasn't home, I don't know. But when he did come home, around 7 am, it was nice to be woken up by him sneeking into bed.

I finally made it to the gym, since Tuesday, so that hit the right spot in my body.

I made about 5 coffees in 5 hours today, so work wasn't particular busy I'd like to say.

My bf met me after work and we walked through Winter Wonderland, really really nice, but a bit crowded. Then we made it all the was pass Harrods. Peter Pan theme in the windows this year.

And I got a christmas card from my bf's mum. Apparently her name is Hazel, his dad's called Pip and his sister Nicola. I never realized I didn't know that. Oh well, you lear something every day. Now I'm gonna try to learn the Lydian mode.

x-tina

I'm acutally watching the X-fact final. Christina Aguilera was just performing. She gained some weight... did she have a kid or just a bit junk?I don't really care, but she can sing, for sure.

Kind of fun

Today a Swedish couple came to Fenwick to Chistmas shop. The man sat down to have a coffee, with theirs daughter in her trolley next to him. His girlfriend walked around looking for a winter jacket.

For some reason I just let him live not knowing I'm also Swedish. I was so amused by the thought, AND by his really Swedish accent. Therefore I just continued ask him questions. I think his girlfriend came to join just because of jealousy. I had a smirky smile over my face, and I wanted tell them my identity, but what can I say.... I have a dry sence of humor?

All at once

Wow. I haven't told you much....

The gig went so darn good. I would even dare to say we brought maybe the most energy on stage. I don't know, but we had fun. And my steady fan base of 3 screamed "I Love you Emily". So yeah, I'm satified and happy. Unfortunately we're not gonna be the same band next term, which sucks. But we were actually thinking about starting some kind of cover band and continue to play together.

Other then that.... I'm on my third Millenium book. So good. Keeps me going back to work every day. I should study more, so I will start with that tomorrow. Exam is coming up next week and I'm like poo in theory comparing to most other people in my super group.

And speaking of exams... I found out today I have another exam, in my worst subject, sight singing, too. And that pisses me off a bit. I think you should be given a bit more time to prepare yourself then a few days. So I sent a hate mail to the management.

Oh, and guess who came home to a home cooked meal. Yes, I did. My boyfriend who happens to be a chef, and who couldn't come to my performance yesterday since he was cooking for Tony Blair, among others, decided that he wanted to cook for me. It happened once in September, but I never came home. And Actually another time, but I don't think the thought was; I'm gonna cook for my Baby tonight. Today he did, even though he had to wait 1,5 hours longer because I had to work later.

Oh, and as usual I have to wash my hair like 3 days ago but still can't be bothered. Just some more hairspray tomorrow will do.

andI work it out.

Going to the gym. Heyaa

IKEA LAND

What can I say? I'm a lazy fucker. No just didn't quite have time to update this weekend.

So listen. My bf was working outside London Saturday and Sunday, so I had to spend time on my own. I was a really good student while working, and I went to the gym. But on Sunday I had a planned Man date with Elin.

So I woke up at 7ish am to go to the gym, then I went to meet up with her at Ealing Broadway where we took a bus out to IKEA. People, you wouldn't believe how excited we were. Like laughing and almost screaming to eachother.

So many small really funny things happened to, which I probably will forget to tell you or that I can see now wasn't that funny.

But yeah, she was the one shopping, I bought one scented candel and batteries. And of course we ate Swedish meatballs and potatos, lingonberry jam and cream sause. We were like kids on Christmas eve.

Oh and then this guy, I don't know what he wanted, walked passed us and got stuck in a chair and had a real hard time getting free again. I was trying not to laugh too much, but then I just said; Sorry for laughing, and started to laugh out loud (LOL) and people joined in.

Then when we were about to pay the merchant was an old confused man who could handle Elin's flower and lost a lot of dirt just said; Just take one bag, it's on the house. Then I said, because I wasn't allowed to pay with cash; Do I also get a bag on the house now? Yes I did.

We went to Elin's and did a sex test that took about one hour, before we went through what is going to come up on our exam in 1,5 week. We realized that we don't really have to worry.

Then we went to Fulham and slipped into Harry Potter, and MAN it was good. I usually think the films are crap, but this one almost made me shit my pants and cry like a baby (the later is true).

Then I went home to see my BF who just got home. What a weekend.

keep your feet on the ground

For some reason I enjoyed working today. Not really busy, not really quiet. The reason why is the book I'm reading. Stieg Larsson was a fucking genius. I get so frustrated when I have to put my book aside to make a coffee and then just stand there smiling. To myself I think; Just drink your coffee and leave already.

I was gonna go to the gym tonight but I went to Nando's with my bf instead. This means that I'm going twice tomorrow.

And on Sunday I have a man date with Elin. Starting with a trip to IKEA, then hard core studying for hours, and if we've been good girls, we're gonna go and see Harry Potter.

It's 20.32 and guess who's gonna get ready for bed.
Yep.

Snow is falling on my head

Woke up today to a white world. Really big smile spread over my face. And a lot of clothes on my body before I headed to school. Todays piano lesson did me good when it comes to theory, so I have a little faith in myself for the exam we have in two weeks.

And yesterday I studied a lot of modes on the piano, and right now I've done a lot of ear training. So if I continue like this, I'll not have to be worried for the big final exams we have in July next year. It's really hard you know, but I do believe that I can do this.

Oh well, back to practice. Later.
