Oh good grief.... (I've been saying that a lot recently)
Corridor Christmas party last night. Cooked up a huge meal in our common room thing then set about a tour of (theoretically) every person's room on the corridor (11 rooms), each person presenting a different drink.
A few people dropped out (having just come back from S.E.Asia, this was excuseable) and a few people really...

Trekked up to Uppsala (40 mins north of Stockholm) on Sunday and stayed with some friends from my home uni until this morning. I think we were all equally happy to see each other, and it gave me a completely new perspective on Sweden, just in time for me to go home to England in 7 days....

Oj, vilket sprkgeni du r. 
Sjlv r jag inte s bra p sprk, mer p matte och naturvetenskap. Lrde du dig svenska helt genom dina kompisar?
Mtp r en frkortning p "med tanke p". S det r inte s konstigt om du inte visste vad det var.
Just nu har jag ett studieuppehll, men brjar plugga igen i januari. D blir det svenska, litteratur & litterturvetenskap, filosofi, psykologi, historia och religionskunskap.

Translating from Swedish to French I could handle. I was not, however, expecting to translate into Swedish. Taking the exam with native speakers, the level of Swedish expected of me was way above what I'm capable of and I'm not expecting to have done well at all.
If I pass this exam I may well buy myself a new guitar as some kind of...

Mate, it's impressive you can translate from one foriegn language to another: I have enough difficulty translating from Cockey to English sometimes! 
I'm sure the exam went well, and get yourself a strat if you do buy a guitar, or a thinline tele

Oh how life can repeat itself.
Last week, you may remember I was stressing out about an essay that I wasn't sure if I'd get done on time because I had a sore throat/cold. It pretty much went away by Saturday and I was fine until about Wed when I went out to a smokey club, over-exerted myself and it came back.

Had my last lesson of my 1st semester in Sweden this afternoon. Written French exam on Saturday, trip to Uppsala for a couple of days and then a French oral exam on Thursday and then I will be done for Christmas.
Last night I decided that I have no faith in astrology. I know there's a few people on my friends list who are into...

hey thanks: any advice on the lingo is appreciated
teenagesuperstar:
well i am serious about going to Finland with or without her: going to Northern Europe has always been a dream of mine, and working for Nokia in Finland seems ideal 
Someone told me before I left for Sweden that they thought my life was gonna change a lot this year and I didn't really believe them. I told myself that there were some things in my life that would never change or go away and I was certain about it.
I have to admit, though, that those things have actually changed after all- friendships I've...

Nope, I meant what I said.
Relaxation.
My cold/sore throat thing has now gone, which is good- spent last night sweating it off in bed (nice thought, I know) and felt a fair amount better this morning.
Finished my essay at last this afternoon- the stupid thing was that after all the stress of trying to get it finished, I went to my lecturer's office and he'd already gone home for...

women are hot everywhere, women are universal. this is probably the only thing keeping the countries from just blowing each other off the planet.

i'd say it was more like: "Those people can't even stare at their women like good americans! what's wrong with them?? we need to invade and Liberate those innocent women from those heavy. oppressive clothes!!" hehe.
Good grief- supposed to be finishing off my French essay tonight BUT
Have had a weird sore throat thing for a couple of days which has made me feel like I perpetually need a drink, but I've been drinking way too much for it to be that.
It's developing into a head cold thing
I'm tired because my body clock has gone into random mode...

I don't drink coffee much- I only started when I was 18 and I've only really been a social drinker... that sounds silly- it's only coffee- but it's true.
Unfortunately, I just realised that I've accidentally had a crapload today. I had 2 cups this evening, forgetting I'd already had one with lunch. Add to this that Swedes make coffee so strong that it doesn't...

take care
