Weekend family trip!

Hi guys,

Short update!  

This weekend is a family trip weekend. Every year since I've been born we have been going to an island called "Koster" that is pretty close to Norway. It's a really small  island, you can't even bring cars there, love it!  

So, right now me and my family is here at Koster and just chilling! It's been 1,5 year since I last visited and I realize now how much I actually have missed it! Sadly because of my work I can only stay over the weekend this time and not the whole week. But better then nothing! 

Hope you have a great weekend! 

Here is some pictures from the trip so far:

Long time no see!

Hi guys!

Have you been busy? Guess what, I have. Obviously.

The last 2-3 weeks of classes and exams were crazy busy, I studied a lot but not sure if it was enough for the last exam thought. But I did my best and that is what counts right? 

So now the spring term has ended and the summer break has begun. But no break for me. I have work at my part time job the whole summer. Started this Monday and will work Monday to Friday until August 21th.. yeah I know it's hard. BUT the work really pays off well. Before taxes I get around 26700 SEK per month and that is GOOD!! and I want money so I can travel back to Japan so I'm not really complaining  about it! 

Soon I'm going to buy my plane tickets for the 2-3 week trip to Japan in the end of August, right after my work ends. Soooooooo excited already! Hoping that I can stay at some friends so I can save a lot of money on hostles and stuff! 

Today I just finished my first week of work and we decided to celebrate my graduation (even if I haven't got the results from the last exam yet ) and it was so nice and the weather is amazing! Might get a sunburn from just eating dinner outside.. the curse of pail skin!! As presents I got money from my grandparents and some nice wine glasses from iitala from my mom and dad. I also got a really nice Regal watch! Will show you in the pictures below〜 

                                 

                                 

                                 

       

Now I will keep relaxing at our balcony in the sun and drinking some rosé wine while listening to some CNBLUE songs. Life is good right now!

Homesick and tv series addicted

Hi there!

This will probably be a short and random post. 

First I just wanted to ramble a little bit about having the strangest feeling of "homesickness" to return to Japan. Isn't that crazy? I lived there for one year and now I feel homesickness to go back?? I think it sounds weird. It varies from day to day and yesterday was kind of a "bad" one. I just can't stop thinking about how my life was there and all the things and people that I miss. Here it feels like i'm doing things that I'm suppose to do and I do it because of that. I want to get my bachelor degree so I have to study, I have to have money so I work. I have fun with my friend because I want to of course and I'm not saying that I don't love being here with them and my family, that is the best thing here in Sweden. But it's just that I feel like I'm "stuck" in a place where I don't get challenges. I want to move on to the "next step" even though I'm not really sure that that step is... I know.. it sounds weird doesn't it? Anyhow, nothing to do but to try to stay positiv and find challeges in the beautiful every day life I have here to! 

Secondaly I just wanted to say that I recently have begun to think if it really is a good thing to be so into series  as I am.. I really love just to relax and watch series as soon as I get home. Actually when home I just watch series like.. 80% of the time... doesn't sound to good righ? Lately I'm afraid that I'm just watching "other peoples lives" and not really living my own.. but yeah I'm probably just reading a bit to much into it all, nothing wrong with spending you free time doing things you like....right? 

That was my thought and troubles for today!

Hugs!

Good morning Monday!

Good morning!

Mondays always seem to be the hardest but today I decided to star with energy and stay positive! And this Monday already seems better. 

       

Didn't really have time to eat breakfast at home so I decided to drop by my favorite place *espresso house* and eat, relax and do the studying I didn't have time to do yesterday. 

Decided to go with a chai latte and a ham sandwich and that's not a bad way to start the day! 

     

                               

  

Last weekend I did some awesome shopping with my mom, was an amazing day! My dad were away with some friends from work on a weekend trip to Kiel so we decided to have a nice and well needed mother and daughter day. This is the kind of thing I would miss if i move to Japan in the near future. Guess you can't get it all! 

Today I will meet some friends and plan for our group assignment, later from 13 to 16 I have a seminar and tonight from 18 to 20 I have a lesson with my student. Long Monday but I think it will go smoothly! 

What are your plans on a Monday like this?

Hugs!
