NEW YEARS RESOLUTION 2015

When 2015 began I gave myself a New Years resolution. Not one that I'll for sure break, but one that I'll be able to keep. I was going to read as many books as I turned, in age, that year. So I had to read at least 21 books last year. Did I manage to keep it? You bet I did!! And I'm also going to do the same for this year! So this time, I'll have to beat 22. Quite positive I can make it!

Here's my list of books read during 2015:

1. Predikanten - Camilla Läckberg
2. One Million Lovely Letters - Jodi Ann Bickley
3. The Best thing that Never Happened To Me - Laura Tait & Jimmy Rice
4. Summer With My Sister - Lucy Diamond
5. Just One Day - Gayle Forman
6. Me Before You - Jojo Moyes
7. The Rosie Project - Graeme Simsion
8. The Curvy Girls Club - Michele Gorman

MISS THIS PLACE WITH ALL MY BEING

TO BIT OFF MORE THAN ONE CAN CHEW / TA SIG VATTEN ÖVER HUVUDET

It's been a bit dead here since I moved to Sweden. At the moment is 'cause I'm settling in as best as I can in my room, with my corridor neighbours, at university, getting used to having homework again and still trying to understand that it will take some time before I see Schottish hills again. But I'm fine except that I still got the cold - not sure if I have mentioned it before - but I think it might be gone soon. At least I hope so 'cause blowing my nose every five minutes it's not that much fun. It's been so bad that I've decided to study in my room instead of going to the library - so I won't disturb anyone. During clases there's not that much that I can do about it but I didn't have any clas yesterday, today and I don't have any tomorrow. So so far I'm getting to know this four walls quite well.

With Uni and Spanish I feel like I have bitten off more than I can chew at the moment. I have a lot of  proper studying to do in the next few months!! Especially with the grammar. I've never had any intrest in grammar - and I still don't - and it's horrendously boring! But sooner or later I'll have to learn. And to be honest, I prefer sooner than later. 

Now I'm gonna watch a movie, go to sleep and when I wake up I have a date with grammar. 

SETTLING IN

I moved down to Lund four days ago. I'm settling in quite well so far but I won't be here during this week. They need extra personel at my old work this week so I'm helping out. The course will start in a weeks time so that's perfect. There's still a few things that needs to be fixed before school starts but I do have a whole week to go, so I'll be fine. 

When we moved down all my things on thursday I realized that half of all the boxes - if not more - consisted of books. They're now divided into two different shelves deepending if they're in English or Swedish. I can mention that most of them are in English. And if I know myself I will be able to add a few more before this term is over. My brother thought it was hilarious that I packed up my books before anything else, not clothes like most people do. 

My piano and guitar - still don't know how to play the guitar but I'm going to learn - are down here with me too. Forgot my ukulele but I'll bring it down on Friday. Oh yeah I got a yellow ukulele for christmas from my siblings. So got to learn to play that too! Looking forward to it. 

I also realized that I managed to bring with me nine tea/coffee cups. I thought I only had 7.. But I'm quite proud of myself just bringing nine. 'Cause I have +/- 30 I think. I've never counted them so this is just me guessing. 

Moving away from Scotland has been hard. At the moment I'm keeping myself distant from it, but it will catch up with me soon. I miss my family, friends there and the country. Scotland will always have a special place in my heart and I'll visit as soon as I can and keep on visiting. It wouldn't surprise me if I moved there one day, but for now I'm content living in Sweden.
