Don't fret at Londonmet
So another 2 days has passed. I went ot the social event thing yesterday, it was quite okey. Got to talk to a postgrad girl from Hungaria and then I met the girl from the European seminar this summar. There were food and drinks and that was basically it. It was a'ight. XD
Today I've been to the inductory session for journalism and I just had to say wooow. It was so different from the laid back-here's the information session for fashion marketing.
First of all we all met in this huge lecture room and then got divided into our course group, as of deja vu when he called out Journalism like 50% of the people in room stood up. I was like soooo, I chose pretty popular stuff huh. XD But being in that session for journalism was like being in another world, the people is totally different. There were no blonde girls giggling or metal sounds from bracelets, people seemed really serious. And oh I came to figure that out!
The lecturer (prof. or whatever) talked for like 3 minutes about the course and then the next hour she actually made interact in class, asking questions, made us brainstorm and gave us an assingment. The first thing that made my heart beat faster and faster was that she asked us, what kind of journalism there were. And after a split second several people raised there hands, and it seemed to like everyone knew everything while I could nothing. She then took out 4 news papers (the guardian, the sun, daily mail and the mirror) and she told us to, in pairs, write down the characteristics for each of them. I was like; seriously?! I had no idea, it's not like I read the British papers everyday, so I turn to guy next to me. Which turns out to be Mr-know-it-all. However he explained to me the differences and was all like "ha-ha hope she doesn't ask you". I felt so out of place, how will I survive this?
She aksed us later what we had written and luckily quite a few people raised their hands. After each statement she asked us more about the papers like what kind of politcal view do they have and like, Who is this? (on the front page) and EVERYONE goes Gordon Browns wife. (I was like omg I never seen the woman in my entire life!) And when a girl answered wrong on which political wing the guardian was Mr-know-it-all had to shout out the right answer. Awesome I know.
Then as a final thing she asked us to (still in pairs) write a front page headline for the Sun. Two seconds later mr-know-it-all had come up with a headline, and I was like omg I can't do this. But I don't know what got into me the next moment but I actually came up with one, Don't fret at Londonmet. And when Mr-know-it-all saw it he was all like "That's really good". And then the horror continues when she asked from person to person what headline they had come up with, she then wrote them on the white board for us to later vote for the best on. (Heart skips 2 beat)
I felt a bit calmer though when she started fromt he other end and when I heard some less good headlines. Don't get me wrong most of them were really good, but I just felt really relieved. When it was our turn Mr-know-it-all had come up with a headline of his own and after he said it he was like but we got a better one and then pointed at me. I was like thank you for the patronizing. Anyway so after that assignment she let us go. (Freshers' pressure won btw) I was like stumbling out of the room as fast as I could. OMG, that's all I thought OMG.
But I'm kinda good with it now, I just have to study harder and read newspapers. XD Then later on it was time for enrolment, in which I heard the staffmember trying to pronounce Slutbetyg and then got my student ID card, and that's it. Now I'm gonna go make dinner and eat, ciao!

First day of school
So I thought you guys wanted to know about my very first day in school. Although it wasn't quite that interesting.
I got up around 8 and the first session was 10 o'clock. Haha I don't usually take that long to prepare but I had to make sandwiches to take with me and I had to take a shower before I went. I realized I've been kinda slow after the long summer break, with eating and dressing. XD
Anyway I got to school, knowing exactly where it was, asked the "helping people" were the room was and went in. To my delight the interior was kinda fresh and nice unlike the exterior. XD
When I came into the room there already people there, the only thought I had in my mind were, be invisible. Don't stare at people and you don't know if they stare at you. XD I quickly found a place to sit, luckily because like 5 minutes later it was fully crowded and some people couldn't even get into the room.
By some freakin' weird coincidence when I sat down, I heard the two girls next to me speaking in a language very similar to a language I knew very well. Maybe they were speaking norwegian, no they spoke SWEDISH! I immediatelly asked them in Swedish if they were from Sweden. And then it rolled on. I felt so relieved that I found Swedish people in my class.
The session started eventually and some costume dude welcomed us to the school and so on. Then for the next part we were gonna break up to the courses we were on. So I got "stuck" with like 40 flanellshirted girls for the Fashion marketing introduction session. Turned out 19 of them were gonna do Fashion marketing and journalism (which was I'm doing), so it wasn't that bad.
After the session we got like an assignment to do in groups. Like walk through the neighbourhood to get the "Neighbourhood profile". XD So me and one of the Swedish girls went down there, sat on Starbucks, walked a bit more. It was nice, she had been in London for 4 years and knew like all the places so I got to know a couple of things. :)
That was basically it. Tomorrow I'm gonig to this social event thing for London met busniess school students. It might be fun or it might be suicide, we'll see. XD

Heroes is back in town.
Must tell you that the internet I have here is really slow, it's not even 1 mb/sec. So like a 4 minute video on Youtube takes me like an hour to upload, but to my surprise however uploading series (megavideo,divx,vureel etc) doesn't take that much time, I mean compared to the time it took me at home. Which I'm really really thankful for, cuz now I can catch up all of the shows I watch.
I don't think I've ever shipped any relationships in heroes, but I totally do now with Ando and Kimiko (well maybe Mohinder and Eden from s1). Yeay! :D And finally they got rid of that scumbag Denko! XD

Europe Music Awards
Just a quick update about this year MTV Europe Music awards. It's gonna be held in Berlin the 5th November. The voting has started and I can gladly announce that Jonas Brothers are nominated as Best Group. The chances of winning however aren't that high (they're up against Black eye peas, Green day, Kings of leon and Tokio hotel) I'd say but it's nice voting for them anyway. :D
So keep clicking that vote button!

The point of no return
So now I'm here. After all these months, I'm really here now.
The flight and transportation to London and my flat was actually ok. I was really sceptic since the major catastrophe last time I was in London. But luckily my dad and i found this direct bus line from baker street to my flat. (Bus from airport stopped at baker street) We bought Oyster cards on the plane, which was a genious move according to me. XD So instead of like £5 on the tube it's £2. Muhaha.
When we got here I got accused of not paying the rent and the water in my toilet wouldn't stop running. Great huh? I settled in however (everything stashed in the wardrobe XD). The room is as small as I imagend it would be but the bed is big. XD The room was pretty nasty so we had to like vacuum and clean the toilet, and by we I mean my dad. XD The kitchen was even worse and the previous people living there left us awesome gifts in the fridge and freezer, like 2 months old cheese. Yum-my! (So today we spent like an hour cleaning the whole kitchen, we the cleaning freaks. But now the kitchen is odeurless and using friendly. ;))
The evening went on pretty smoothly and I became really tired. But of course I couldn't fall asleep, too much on my mind probably. I COULDN'T sleep, everytime I felt like drifting off I woke up again. And THEN around midnight some jackass thought it'd be funny to blast some indian music on the highest volume. (I suspect the jackass lives one floor above me) And jackass continues blasting his really nasty music and the thing is, jackass only had 3 songs which jackass played over and over and over and over. I was like OMG, is this for real?! I didn't know what to do, I was furious, furious! I tried to locate jackass but even if I did I couldn't get to his room or whatever the corridors doors (into each flat)are looked, so I stop trying. I turned on my iPod (although I could still hear the nasty beat of his music) and tried to sleep. I drifted off several times and some of those times I heard that jackass had turned off his music. But then around 6 o'clock I got woken up by the same f****** song. I could've commit murder at that moment.
Besides from that unpleasent evening and morning, today had been pretty nice. We spent most of the day (today) buying groceries and kitchen supplies (like a rice cooker!). We checked out the neighbourhood and my school at the same time.

Super new layout
Yes I have a new layout. Got tired of the old one. XD
Last week was probably the fastest week passing by ever. And now it's monday already (Tuesday in an hour). 6 more days until London. Can you believe it? S I X days?
Ugly business
that's all I had to say about the VMA's. I've been running errands and buying stuff with my dad all morning and when I finally checked my Twitter in the afternoon, I knew I had missed something. Kanye! Kanye! Taylor Swift and Beyoncé everywhere. What the hell is going on? I surfed into the Swedish MTV website, where they have the whole show in videos, and watched it.
First off I just wanna say that I loved the Micheal Jackson tribute, those dancers were sick man! XD But that was like the only part I liked in the whole show. (Russel Brand is just nasty and really not funny, I really hope he isn't the host next year. And Lady Gaga's performance was just so disturbing *shivers*)
So the very first award to be presented was Best Female video, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Pink and Taylor Swift was nominated. Among all these mega-stars 19 year old Taylor Swift won the award. In her very fancy glittery white dress she walks up to the stage to accept the award and give her thank you speech. In the middle of her speech Kanye West comes up on stage and takes her mic and tells her he's really happy for her but then he starts to scream Beyoncé has the best video of all times! repeatedly. Then jerks the mic to Taylor and just leaves.
The face on Taylor is kinda heartbreaking, she don't know what do to or say. I never thought I'd feel sorry for Taylor Swift, I repeat Taylor Swift, but I did. She looked devastated, the poor thing.
So throughout the rest of the show both Russel Brand (host) and several presenters tried to calm everyone down and say that Taylor deserved the award and so on.
I thought the whole thing was kinda ugly. For once I was glad that I was sitting in front of the computer watching an award show instead of being there. I'm starting to think the VMA's is getting a bit too vulgar for me.

MTV VMA's 09
I'm really off these days I know, I'm busy with packing and preparing and blah blah blah. XD So anyway, thought I'd stop by for a reminder of tonight's MTV Video Music Awards. The show is a couple of hours away and you can already tune in for a live streaming coverage of the red carpet arrivals, though no one is there yet. XD
I'll probably won't stay up that late to catch it all but I'm definitely gonna do a recap tomorrow. (Fingers crossed to Cobra Starship!) The show is packed with stars as usual, there'll be performances by for example Lady Gaga, Green Day and Beyoncé. Alexa Chung's gonna be a presenter, Taylor Swift's gonna be there, Katy Perry, The All-American Rejects, the whole cast of Twilight (wow, really?!) is gonna be there. Ok, I'm gonna stop with doing a commercial for it now, so buh-bye! :)
Btw, link for the live streaming video: http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/436334/live-from-the-2009-mtv-video-music-awards-red-carpet.jhtml#id=1621333

We can shine bright but still keep it real
Jonas Brothers' Keep it Real official music video
Major JONAS commercial. Okey I get the concept. The real footages are the shine part and the JONAS footages should be the keep it real part. Cool technique but a bit unprofessional. XD

the Bloody truth
So I lied. I didn't write an entry yesterday. Well, I didn't know at the time I was writing it that I wouldn't so I didn't lie, I broke...a promise? XD OKEY enough. So about the thing on my mind was stuff about London which I thought I was over, but I guess I wasn't. It became quite overwhelming and it felt like I couldn't breathe. It passed, I guess during yesterday so it was no idea brining it up again.
About something else then. Well.....why not take up the ever so popular Vampiran Obsession. (I just invented that word..) I mean everyone's talking about it, I don't wanna be a retard...XD
First off, well it's not really a secret that I dislike (haha) everything that has to do with vampires and company. Really I didn't get it before and don't get it now either and I probably never will.
I read this column in the papers not long time ago, it was a guy writing exactly about this, the whole female buzz on vampires. I particularly remember this bit when he said; luckily there aren't vampires in real life, otherwise all the women would rather be with them than human men. I had a good time laughing at it because that's exactly how I would put it myself. It maybe sounds absurd but it has some truth to it. Doesn't it?
Vampires to me is like blood, flesh eating and morbid sex. (Not sure how the latter come about but anyway) Am I wrong? And exactly what is it that should appeal to people? Where's the hype? Then make me understand why millions and yet millions tune in every week for True Blood, why Twilight wins award after award from best on-screen kiss to best soundtrack and why Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Dakota Fanning (even Mandy van Duyne!) does vampire flicks. Do you seriously find it sexy when someone like possessed basically eat off a poor souls throat? Do you get excited watching a pair making out, eventually leading to one of them unconcsious and bloody in bed?
Well, now I'm out. Basically this was long kinda worthless entry really just saying I don't get the trend. I guess something has to be on the wall so why not blood and sex right? Or maybe I'm just not morbid enough.
