Diving course

I just found a diving course in Linköping (where I'm currently living) and am seriously considering taking it. It's an open water diving course, a total of about 40 hours and costs 4500kr which is about £405. So not too bad, I don't think anyway. Starts on the 1st of December so I might have a diving certificate by the time everyone arrives :P It's PADI approved which is apparently good and we also learn how to use dry-suits, not sure what that means but I read that it was good to learn how to do that aswel.

Today has been pretty slow, I went food shopping, studied, well aslepp and watched tv. SO tomorrow I really have to get off my butt :P and study! Have a test on basic medicine on monday.


Elisa has swine flu! But she's not that sick, hope she gets better soon :) And melissa has joined the airforce, kinda crazy but she has her reasons.

Wow

End of the week and I've moved into a new room. Tough work moving all my bags by myself. Ebba was gonna help, but she didn't finish till 3. I finished at 1 and you know me. I like to get stuff done so I was pretty much ready by the time she got home, she helped me bike my food over and had a look at the room. I took some pics:

Yesterday's lesson was really trying. We must have gone through like 15 muscles, my head was spinning by the end. But it did get 40/40 on my first anatomy och fysiology test :D
Today I'm just gonna take it easy. Go into town and have a look around. Maybe buy some stuff. Got my loan money and wages yesterday so now I feel rich :)
More comments please! ;)

Hello!
Mum wanted me to take some pics of school. So here are a few, plus some other stuff!
The first 2 pics are of my homework :P I've drawn a pic of one of the muscles on our back. Hard work! Pics 3 and 4 are outside school. 5 is the reception/shop. 6 is just our school symbol + a pic of two of my teachers :P And the last 3 are of a study room, and the most important room of all, where we eat!! ;)
I'm a bit worried about tomorrow, we'll have our first customers. 4, 45m passes in a row. 'phew' I'll be sweaty!
Just wanna say thanks to Josh for putting pretty odd and owl city on my iPod. Thanks!! :D
Bed time soon, looong day tomorrow. I'm also gonna call about a flat tomorrow, fingers crossed!

Back in Linköping.

Ok, so now I'm back. I had a great time back home, and now I'm back in Linköping.
Which isn't a whole lot of fun, I just want to get my own place :P I'm moving out of Ebba's on friday so that'll be good. But it won't be my own space. Gonna be checking out a flat tomorrow or the day after so hopefully it'll be good :)

I havn't done much this week, couple of parties and just been taking it easy! I bought a new pair of boots and a watch necklace, all in all about as much money as food costs for a month :P

Elisa passed her driving test, congratulations! Though I didn't get to see her drive because her gran wouldn't let her use her car :P

Well I don't have much else to say right now, thinking about filming me playing guitar later on in the week, I'll have to take some pics of my school too..

Home

I haven't written for a couple of days. Mostly due to lack of time, but also because I haven't had anything interesting to write about :P

Last week was pretty tiring. Alot of info to cram into my head! Anyways, we went bowling thursday night, which was alot of fun, buuuut, I was obviously the worst player, and probablly had 3-4 goes when I didn't hit a single pin!! Awell, can't be good at everything in life ;) Bowling will just have to slip by my credentials.

Friday night I took the bus home, which I have decided I won't be doing too often because it's a 3 hour trip on a full bus. Not much fun, not enough leg room. I'm kinda gratefull I don't have long legs but it's still cramped. There was an accident on the 40 so really the trip was 3½ hours. I'm home now anyway and it's a relive. I actually get to sleep in a bed! :) I'm moving out of Ebba's pretty soon anyway. I'm home until sunday. then i'm off back up for another week of school. Then I'm moving out :) It's not that it isn't fun living with Ebba, It's just that people need space.

A classmate asked me to move in with her, so that's what I'm gonna do! We're going to look at a flat next week :)

I got shot in the head today, oww! Not a real bullet, just a soft air gun one. It's biodegradable so they're made out of compressed potatoes and card :P I was out with Victor and some friends, taking pics while in combat. Kinda frustrating not having a gun to protect yourself with. Got some ok snapps. Needed a different kind of camera than JOsh's though.

I though I'd catch up on some studying, but no go. I'm watching Notting Hill on tv. Haven't seen it in ages. Spike's brilliant :D

Well I'm gonna watch the rest of the film.
More updates later this week :)

FOOD!

I feel like a housewife :p As soon as I got in the door I started to cook and I'm still waiting for it to finish cooking. "It" would be a pie, A nice, tasty, delicious smelling pie. I want it to be ready now!!! But it won't be ready for another 20 mins :(

When it's done I'm gonna go for a run, and then a shower and THEN I'll study :P

We've got our first test soon.. so I'm kinda freaking out about that. Not too much though. It's in two weeks.

What do you call a fish without any eyes?







a fsh! :P

First saturday


Flat tyre :( My mechanical side coming forth!

My bike!

I got up early this morning, all pepped and ready to study. And what happens? I get on my bike and realize I have a flat tyre.. So I looked up some videos on youtube to see how to remove the inner tube and repair a puncture, actually acomplished removing the inner tube and... there's nothing wrong with the tube, just the vaulve. So I had to bike to biltema to get some supplies. A basket, a bike pump, 3 plastic thingys that you use to remove the tyre and a new inner tube 159:- hole in my purse. Ahwell I needed the stuff, the tube's a good quality one too.

After I made it back to the flat I ate and started studying. So now I know all the bones I'm supposed to know my monday. Nearly all the muscles and some other latin words we're supposed to learn :) I've also been watching sex and the city :D
I went for a run in the forest and then did a bit of Zumba :)

So sort of productive day, kinda boring too.

This week..

..has been really good. Everyone's really nice and we all get along.

Yesterday some of us met up at one of the girls flats and got to know each other a bit.
Her flat's really nice. It's all furnished and she's only been living there for 2 weeks! Anyways we had a nice time. Then we went to a club/restaurant called Platå which was quite nice. We met up with the second years and had a chat. But we all left pretty early because we started 8:15 this morning. We all did one whole body massage today. I was a bit nervous but it went really well. I only forgot one thing :P But it feels like I'm getting into the rythm of things.

I bought my massage bench today. Yay! :) I might put it up in a bit. Not sure yet. It was really hard to carry it thought. Fortunatly one of the women in my class gave me a lift to the bus station :)

Here it is!

Tired

Melissa called yesterday. It was great to hear from her. I miss her a lot L She’s doing pretty well, living with her dad and she might join the air force.

Today was really tiring. We’ve had anatomy and physiology all day. That means learning all the bones and muscles and where they’re attached and what they do. Lots and lots of new Latin words. I need to learn pretty much all the names of the bones by Monday. Phew.

At the end of the day, we met the other class that’s just starting their second year. We played some games and ate ice-cream. It was nice. Tomorrow they’re all going out to this place called Platån, so some of us might tag along and get to know each other. Should be nice J
I went for a run when I got back, the trails here are really nice. All through the forest, it’s nice running in nature with all the foresty smells.. Haha I sound crazy.

Anyways, after my nice sweaty run I checked my e-mails and I’ve got a room for a few weeks, yay!

Went to the shop and got some ingredients for a pie, mum sent me the recipe. It’s in the oven now. I’ll take a pic when it’s done and then upload this

Flat

I might have finally found somewhere to live this term :)
I saw an ad on the university's site and just sent an e-mail.
The room's free for 7-8 weeks since the guy who lives there has got work experience.
He's study to be an occupational therapist which is similar to what I'm going to be studying.
His mum's american so he picked up my english accent pretty quickly, seemed nice and all that. I'll know in a day or two, he just wanted to check some things out, but he said i'll probablly get it :)

I'm going to say thank you to Elisa for my lucky budda, because I rubbed his tummy when I got home and now I practically have somewhere to live soon :P


Here he is!

Ebba's cooking at the moment, smells goooood ^_^
Anders is here too but he's just sitting on the bed :P

tt (means ta ta :P )

Day Two

Because I wasn't actually sure of the way to bike to school, I left half an hour early so I wouldn't be late.


Ebba and I biked part of the way the same but I think I'll try a different route tomorrow.


We've learn't how to massage all day. About 1½ hours of theory about when and when not to massage a patient. Why massage is good and so on.


Then we massaged each other for about 6 hours. Back, neck, bum and legs :P By the end of the week we're supposed to be able to do a whole body massage.


After school I biked home without getting lost :D Had a shower then went biking again to get a better lay of the land. I found a petrol station and filled up the air in my rear tyre. The part of the wheel by the valve looks bloated, I heard that happens just before you get a puncture..?


Now I'm back at the flat waiting for an e-mail from a guy who's hiring his flat while he has work experience. Fingers crossed! I'm also watching Guess Who with Ashton Kutcher in.


Here's a picture of my class.
