Come closer...

And once again I've sucked at updating this blog...
The last couple of weeks (especially this one) has been absolutely crazy. I started my internship last week and it is actually really interesting and I could really learn a lot (which is the point, right?), the only problem is that it takes up a lot of time, time that I don't have at the moment.
Friday two weeks ago I finally went to see Avatar. My expectations weren't that high so it totally exceeded them. The only thing that sucks is that Avatar will completely dominate the Oscars in about a week, and it completely deserves its awards but there are plenty of other movies that should be just as acknowledged.
This week has included (so far) a retail staff party (which was awesome btw) and Ne-Yo at Baltiska Hallen in Malmö. The concert was absolutely amazing, there are no words for it...
Tonight will be spent in Helsingborg just chillin' but tomorrow it's time to get to work again. And next week will be somewhat hectic with another staff party, work, internship and a take-home exam that's due next monday.
Have an awesome weekend!!

Such a kliché

I really am. I'm the type of girl that eats when she's depressed (causing me to gain weight and becoming more depressed ergo eating more and voilà, vicious circle, luckilly it works the other way round as well), likes to shop, and is afraid of spiders. Today, I started with a piece of chocolate for breakfast, bought myself some lingerie, and freaked out when I just saw a spider in my room. Not a good day so far.
On the other hand, I had one piece of chocolate and then threw the rest out, I resisted the urge of putting the lingerie on my credit card (which means my bank account will be hurting right away instead of within a month), and I managed to kill the spider which is a great triumph.
From now on, I vow to myself that I will break most of my bad habits. That I will resist eating something unhealthy and snack on a piece of fruit instead. That I will transfer the amount of money that "that" dress cost into a second savings account. The spider bit will probably be a lot harder to get over, I'm still shaking, but at least I didn't cry and left the room waiting for my roommate to come home and kill it, I killed it myself!

Paris

Sis on our vacation to Paris last year.
Me chillin just outside the Louvre.

No need for explanation.


Alright then, so it's settled, I'm moving to Paris. It will be in about 7 months and there's still a lot to be taken care of (such as housing, school, and money) but I have decided that this will not be something that I just talk about and then never follow through.

My biggest fear would be the language and the French standard of living. Sure, I moved to a completely different continent last time and I was a lot younger but I spoke the language, and I knew that I'd be living in a place that was close to being a five star hotel. But, I will simply have to consider this as a whole new adventure that can't be compared to my old ones.

See the thing is, I've gotten comfortable. When I got back from the States (where I lived a pretty damn good life) I moved to Helsingborg, to a gorgeous apartment and I got comfortable with my studies and my job. It's time to shake things up and take a chance. If everything goes well, who knows, maybe I'll be the next Amelie?
