Things are really good. Things have been falling into place ever since I got here, I can't for a second say I regret my decision to stay. The guys in the group are getting more and more familiar, it is like living with a hundred of your friends in one big collective. Such a small world, but what a great world it is.
I would...

Things are good. It has its ups and downs, but I still like it. Been working out both Monday and Tuesday, and heading to the Obstacle Course in an hour to break a leg or two. Had the first English class today, need to find a subject to write an essay about. It has to be something to do with the military, I'm thinking of...

It's the weekend of week two, and I am already on my head trying to wrap myself around what is really going
on. Having thought about it I have figured that whatever may have been going on with Mr. Jock and me was probably just a reaction to him being new and meeting a new girl he didn't know where to put. I don't think...

Jeez... I know I said I have gotten a few fair friends in these short days, but I never thought it would end up like this within even two weeks. Not only do I have a red head helicopter guy who craves my attention. Tonight I was also confronted with American Football guy who proclaimed his "I have feelings for you without being in love...

Funny how life decides things for us without us knowing what is going on, especially when we think we are headed one way, but little do we know that we are being herded in a completely different direction.
That's how my life is going as well.

Phew, I have to say. It's been a couple of intense weeks. The new officer program did a jump start with uniforms, new faces, new groups and field trips. We even had a fitness test on Tuesday, which came as a surprise to most of us. I didn't pass the requirement level, but it didn't matter. I had been accepted and that was that. I...

Who can blame him for wanting to try? 
You're being sensible though, you may have to last a year with these guys and added complication is probably to be avoided for the time being.
I feel sorry for the guy you've called "the killer guy" he must get that an awful lot.
Glad you're doing well, and that you're getting some good attention. It sounds like the officers program is treating you well. Hope the move goes okay!

I ended up staying in the Swedish Armed Forces anyway. But things are good. I'll just have to scrape up a couple of university points to be able to keep my apartment, something that will hopefully fall into place eventually.
Apart from that life feels good. I'll give it a year. I can do that. I have time.
It'll be good.

hey dawl. what is post-grunge muzik?
Shit.
I think I am falling for the guy I know I shouldn't be falling for. It is always the same, I always end up leaving the people I should stick to. I can't say I regret my decision as such, I would have felt the same way if it had fallen the other way around. Now I can say that I know what I...

You can't help who you are attracted to. You just have to make sure that attraction doesn't lead you someplace that hurts you. As long as you do that, you will be fine.

I am the worst person to comment on things like this because my romantic history has a number of attached people with it. It's really just a matter of knowing if you can accept the consequences of going for it. The emotional bloodbath that will inevitably follow one way or another.
Being the bit on the side is only fun for so long.
You're already sounding love sick though, so it's probably a little late.

I just got an apartment! Snap!

I remember getting a new apartment, the fun of figuring out where all your stuff fits into your new space, where your pictures should go on the walls and in turn what color said walls should be, of course there is the daunting nature of paying all your new bils that come from getting things set up, of course there is also a satisfaction of knowing you are doing something slightly grown up, and just having space of your own, that's the topper.
merdraut:
Congratulations! Well done!
I have just arranged everything with my move. It will cost me INSANELY much money, but I suppose it will be worth it once I get there.
All I'm missing now is a place to live.
merdraut:
Very organised of you, and you're right you'll love it once you're settled.
Good luck on finding a place.

Been listening to documentaries all morning. This morning I went through the homosexual revolution in 1979 and now I'm halfways into the Haijby scandal from 1936 when a restaurant owner blackmailed the Swedish court after having had a sexual relationship with the king himself.
Yes. Sweden 2009.
I heart public radio.

Wow sounds great, do you always get that sort of thing or is this a rarity?

You are very right that moving is always a scary thing, but every time I have done it I have found myself in a great situatiion, now I have only moved a couple times, but that is stil two times that give me something to look at. The way it is sitting right now is more along the line that I am going to wait out the economy a little more before I really get into it all, but I still like getting another person's take.
Sounds like you are learning some very interesting things about Sweden, gotta love interesting topics like that to draw you into history
