The power of music

It is incredible how poweful music really is. Anyone who knows me know that there will be a day when I will have to have my ipod surgically removed from my ears, that's how obsessed with music I am.
Music have the power to move you through space and time. No matter where you are the right tune can place you somewhere else at a different time than what is now. Music can make the world around you seem more beautiful than it really is. Without music the world would succumb.
In other words, music is amazing.

Will it ever end?

The winter that is. I am sooo sick of the cold and snow, and I am longing so badly for some heat that it feels like my insides are screaming. Just when it started to look up a little, we had some sunny days, a blizzard hit. So now the ground is covered with snow again and this being the southern part of Sweden, noone really has a clue what to do with it. Some of it melts to slush, some of it is shoved to the side of the street (making it absolutely impossible to cross the street without stepping into a pile of snow), and some of it turns to ice. For a pedestrian it really blows, especially when cars are rushing you when you're trying to cross the street.
Oh please, spring, would you come asap?!?

Changes?

Wow, I really suck at updating this blog, must get better at it.
So, what's happened this week? Well, Malia had a birthday party last saturday which was fun! We were supposed to go out but we ended up staying in, enjoying the house party, I left at about 6.30 in the morning and was home at about 8.30, gotta love the commute... I must say that I soo prefer house parties, coz ususally the best time is at the pre-party at someone's place and then when you go out clubbing, all the drama begins. Anyway, I was pretty much dead all sunday so it was perfect being off from work.

On monday we hade the last of our seminars and that was the end of fall semester 2009. We all enjoyed our one day break coz on wednesday spring semester 2010 started. I also started my second course (I'm doing two this semester, 45 ects) which seems to be pretty interesting. What's awesome so far is that my professor looks like Alan from the Hangover, haha!
Oooo! I also got my iPhone on monday which was a total surprise as I wasn't supposed to get it until february, but hey, I'm not the one to complain. I've already fallen in love with it so I guess it was a good decision to get one.

On thursday I went to see Sherlock Holmes with my dad. Awesome movie, really a must-see for anyone who likes movies. I went to see The imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus the other week, great movie as well, but if you're not into weird, abstract films, then don't see that one.

On friday, we had a mini welcome home party for some of the people that have been studying abroad the past semester. It was great seeing everyone again and we really had a good time, and there were no complaints from the Danish woman next door! Amazing! I really must stop drinking wine, though, at least if it's not with food, coz the hangovers I get from sipping wine are not to be trifled with...

Yesterday was time for work which was pretty much the same except for getting employee of the month (albeit it was for september, but still), yey! Nice to get some kind of recognition.

What else is new? Oh yeah, I'm strongly considering moving to Paris, at least for one semester. I'm looking up most of the details now and it looks plausible except housing in Paris is craaaazy expensive. I mean, I'm used to having a rent of about 400 euros, so it kinda blows having to go up to 1000 euros, but hey, it's in Paris :) More on that subject later....

Multiple personality disorder?

My sister has to be the most observant person I know. There isn't a thing that pass her by and when you least expect it, she points something out that is completely true which you yourself never thought about. Like yesterday, we were hanging out and all of a sudden she tells me that I have several different personalities, this is her conclusion:
* chic and bitchy Sandra - the one that dresses nice, listens to the latest music, use English slang in everyday language, and, of course, have the ability to stare people down in the bitchiest of ways.
* geeky Sandra - the one that goes to Sci-fi-Fantasy bookstores, snorts when she laughs, and knows imdb pretty much by heart.
* academic Sandra - the one that loves school, books, and culture in general.
* rock Sandra - the one who lives for rock music, dresses in black, and gets tattoos.
* baby Sandra - ´the one who gets very sweet and cuddly from time to time.

I'm not quite sure what to make of all this except I guess it's good I'm far from being a one-dimensional human being. It would be fun if anyone that's reading and knows me could add another Sandra to the list. Just to see how many different sides there can be without me actually imploding one day, haha.

Don't know much about history...

...hrm, well, that's not actually true. It would be pretty embarrassing if that was true considering I'm studying history. This week, we've been going through the term papers that were handed in last week. Today, it was time for my paper to take the stand, and it went as anticipated pretty much, apart from the praise. I did not see that coming. And something I really didn't see coming was the VG (that would be the highest grade you can get) I got on it! I'm sooo celebrating this weekend!
Actually, I will be celebrating this weekend, but not just my grade, it's one of my co-workers b-day so it'll be party up for two in cph on saturday. Nice!
And soon I'll be spending a lot of time on trains again, as I'm moving back up to helsinborg on saturday. It'll be nice to not live in a suitcase any longer, and to sleep in my own bed, in my own room, but I can't say I'm looking forward to going back to helsingborg. I really need to find a place in Malmö soon!!
Anyway.....see ya suckas!

It's the final countdown...

Sooo...this past week I've been enjoying the cold that I've been anticipating all through fall. I figured that it would break out at any moment and it seemed like my trip to Stockholm and 15 minus degrees did it, yey....All this leads up to a saturday night in front of the tv with no voice whatsoever, I have to say, being a mute, not so hilarious.
I did something the other day, I don't know if it was stupid or if it was simply inevitable but I ordered an iphone. I needed to change my service plan and since my phone has been acting up for a while now I figured that I could might as well get my self a new phone. The iphone turned out to be as good an option as the Sony Aio I was looking at so I decided to overcome my fear for the touchscreen and get myself an iphone. Only problem was that there are no iphone 3gs, 16gb, black, left anywhere nearby!!! So I ordered it online along with my new service plan, clicked my way through the order and confirmed it. I was so happy until I read the confirmation thoroughly and it said that the delivery date would be february 19th!!!! Awesome, now I have to wait a month to get the phone I want now :( And I can't complain about it coz I have no voice...
Life's a bitch...

So that was Christmas....and a Happy New Year

My sister informed me today that it has been two weeks since my last post so I figured I'd do something about it. Christmas came and went last week. I managed to find some Christmas spirit on Christmas Eve. I guess an overdose of Christmas-themes movies leaves you no other choice. Otherwise, Christmas was good, and so was the gifts - even though I was more excited over the gifts that I gave than the ones I got. I suppose that is a sign of growing up, enjoying to give more than to get.
After Christmas I just chilled with some friends and family and worked on my term-paper, which is due on friday!!!! Seriously, if I manage to pull this off, I rule. Speaking of school, I just found out that I've been accepted to a course that deals with museums and it also includes a 4 week internship on a museum so that'll be fun! Although, I've already realised that the next time I will be able to relax from school will probably be in May, but I guess it's worth it, in the end.
Anyway, on tuesday I left for Stockholm with Emma and Linda to celebrate New Year's with the LA-crew. It was awesome to see everyone again, I haven't met some of them in two years! It's fun though, coz it's the third year in a row that Emma and I celebrate New Year's with Jens and Miriam, it's turning in to quite a tradition.
Oooo, I have to tell you, I made quite a little bargain in Stockholm. One of the Jimmy Choo for H&M pairs of shoes that I wanted to get when they were released had been marked down from a 1000 sek to 400!! Yey! They're superhigh, though, so I'm gonna need some practise before I make a public appearance with them on. That public appearance will have to wait a while, though. The freaky weather changes have finally brought out the cold that was biding its time and I feel like crap right now. Maybe I should see it as a sign to study harder, hmmm....
Anyway, till next time!
