Rock Paper Scissors

Zup guys,
Another week is coming to its end. My 6th week here. Yup 6 weeks really.

This week has been really overwhelming, with our courseworks (assessments) coming up, it makes me super stressed out. It's not that I'm stressed out becuase it's a lot of work, but I just don't know how to strucutre/present it all, where I find information and some of the assessments I just don't really get at all. S T R E S S!

So I don't really afford sitting here bloging (and believe me it makes me stressed) but I am. After my cousin left on Tuesday I got had this really, really bad case of home sickness, that combined with feeling hopeless in school made me cry, and cry and cry. I hate it. I always do this, I always put so much pressure on myself and when I don't have everything under control I lose it.

On the up side of the week I've come far on my socializing. :D I've been seeing and studying with this girl from my Fashion Industry class (she's really normal I promise XD). I can be really relaxed around her and we can talk, it's nice. :D Then my flatmate asked me (today) to join her for dinner today,then antoher flatmate joined. So the 3 of us went, it was really nice. I had korean food for the first time. (Spiiiiccyyy)

Although I hugely miss everything and everyone in Sweden, I'm not miserable in London. :) I'm coming home soon.

Pictures from today:


1) My future home, Notting Hill XD
2) Korean restaurant at Tottenham Court Road

I'm really in London







1) The Sherlock Holmes museum. One of the coolest things ever. The staff wears these victorian dresses feels like you've stepped into the 1800s. (Now Kajsa's gonna correct me of all the historical wrongs in that sentence XD)
2) Agatha Christie books in comics. Ok these are also one fo the coolest things ever. really want one.
3) Harrods, harrods, harrods. Need I say more?
4) H&M at Oxford circus. I really missed Sweden being there.
5) Headless man in Covent garden.

Absence no more

Hi there,
I haven't blogged in more than a weeks time and that's not really OK. No it's not. It's mostly because my cousin has been here but then I've also so been too depressed to write. (I ALWAYS tweet though, so keep checking that :)

Soo my cousin arrived on friday evening and the very moment I saw her I just felt things were so much better. I've been alone for too long, I thought.
We had a blast, mostly shopping and watching movies. It was just really nice to have someone there to do things with you and to talk to you. It has been a long time.

On Saturday we first did Oxford Street (a lot of walking), my cousin went crazy at Primark XD, then we went ate at China town and finished the day with watching Up in 3D at Trocadero. Up is really good, one of those smart cartoon movie that suits 7 year olds as 40 year olds. So I strongly recommend! :)

On Sunday we did more shopping now in Covent Garden (probably the most cozy place in London) and then at Harrods. I've actually never been to Harrods, I mean what am I suppossed to do there? I can't afford anything. XD But we went there like as an experience, it was really cool actually, all these designer clothes and the archtiecture. The place is HUGE however and even if we strolled around for an hour I think it was only a very very small part of Harrods that we did see. Going back soon? XD Then we went to Leicester square originally to eat dinner at China town but then we got an urge for pommes frites so we ate at Burge King instead. At the same evening they were holding a movie premiere at Vue (leicester square), we later found out it was for Eva Green's new movie Cracks. And I actually saw her through the window in Burger King.

The next day would be her last whole day and I had school, which was really blaaah. Didn't do well in class that day. XD We then went down to Angel and saw The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnasuss (hate writing it everytime) at Vue. The movie was very peculiar. It was Heath Ledger's last movie and he passed away right in the middle of shooting so they decided to cut and change the whole storyline to fit and keep heath in it. I must say i think the original story must have been better, the one in the movie now is confusing and doesn't really have a red thread. but however I thought it was wonderfully weird and watch-worthy.

I'm really bummed out that I didn't brought my digital camera with during these days, blaah so here you have some mobile pictures.

I wish I could..

....watch a never-ending movie in the cinemas.

Get your flying carpet now!

Zup,
Just wanted to write some before I go to bed. I've been studying most of the day today, I want to get things over with so that I don't have to do any homework when my cousin comes on friday. :) I'm basically done with this week's homework, but I got this article I have to write 'til next monday. So I have to write that too. "Localizing the postal strike", so we have to like get quotes from neighbours and postmen. I even jumped at one of them postmen today, but he was all like no I don't have time. I have to get to work immediately since they're going on strike on thursday and friday. I only have tomorrow and wednesday to get quotes. No pressure at all....

I think things are getting better in school. It's the 3rd week now and I start to get to know people. I've started to see this difference between my classmates and....classmates. The ones in my journalism classes tries to out-smart each other while the ones in my fashion industry tries to out-dress each other. XD I just can't really be myself around those out-dressers, feels like they're so "superior" and I'm just a joke. Maybe it's just all in my head but...I don't know. I guess there's a lot of getting used to. XD

Otherwise I'm just really glad my cousin is coming and I'll get some company. :) I've planned some crazy shopping and cinema. Looking forward to it! :D

Let me see that body bounce

I basically woke up, had breakfast. Checked my Twitter and BOUNCE! what have the JoBros posted? This is possibly the most epic thing since......(Alice in wonderland in 3D)..ever!

As you can see I'm totally spamming Bounce on my twitter, but I really can't stop talking about it. XD When I first saw the video, I was like that sounds just like Nick, wait what? No?!

Crraazzzzy, Nick letting his inner rapper finally coming out! XD I can't possibly decide on what's the most awesome in the video, EVERYTHING's awesome. All from Joe's wig to Big rob's cheese and ham dance. Totally epic.

Now I'm the kinda girl who likes to bounce. ;) Just bounce!
