EXCITED

Here we are again, at the end of another week. For me it's been a good week. I've enjoyed it. I have skyped with my parents twice to update about information when they're coming here. I think I've forgotten to mention that my parents will come to Scotland in the end of September. SO EXCITED!! So I've updated them on a few things and I can't wait to see them here. 

Oh, and tomorrow I will go to Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh with a friend Rebecka and watch the warm up game between Scotland vs Italy. It's gonna be great! We have seats right behind one of the goals (not sure what they call them, hehe). AND I will see my swedish friend Ella as well, either before or after, don't know yet, She is traveling around this autumn and at the moment she is in Scotland, so I got a text from her yesterday asking about if I was still here and if I wanted to met up. This weekend is going to be so good! Not to mention the last months here in Scotland. 

I realised the other day that I have less than 4 months left here.. I'm still in a bit of chock over that realisation. Where has the months gone? They just disapperead. Literally. I'm still not sure if I like it or not, I guess both. 

WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU FORGET TO PUT THE ALARM

My plan on Saturday was to go up to Edinburgh. When I woke up I became aware off that it was not morning, it was almost noon. So instead of rushing up I decided to stay in bed a wee while longer and maybe go on Sunday or next week.
So I changed my plans and ended up going on a long walk instead, exploring parts/surroundings of Selkirk I hadn't been in yet. Was gone all the afternoon. Walked all the time except half an hour when I just sat on the top of an hill resting with sheep. And ofc I had forgot to charge the battery to my big camera so took photos with my phone instead. My feet were not aching when I came back but I was a bit tired. It was well worth all the walking! It was absolutely beautiful!

ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE - GRADUATION

A FEW MEMORIES

So here are a few random pictures (there's quite a few more but don't have acces to them at the moment) from my vacation. 

On my way from Edinburgh Airport! You get a lovely view when you're up in the air. How I love you Scotland!

 Turning Torso in Malmö down by the harbor.

 Met up with my german friend Till in Malmö. Haha, he has not changed at all since I saw him last.

 In Finland with my bonnie lass Anni! I started eating pringles again, oupsie. Such a lovely time!

 Anni is pointing at the water and telling me; "There is water". Oh, how smart you are..

Åhus beach. Have spend a great deal of time here when I was younger. Hadn't been there in 2 years? Allthough we left quite quickly since it started to pour down. (You can see the rain clouds right?)

Saw this LOVELY lassie again after over a year apart! We had so much fun! 

Went to Mellbystrand with youngest sibling and my parents to have an evening picnic. Very lovely!

Went back the next evening by myself to see the sunset.

HAPPY

Lately I've been told that I'm a very happy person. I don't seem to have any "issues". Well I AM a very happy person and I do have issues. I just don't let them become my first priority. My first priority is to be happy. Do things that make me happy. Do things for others, 'cause that sure makes me happy. You could say that is selfish, and in some way I guess it is, but it's also a win-win for both parties. Being positive instead of negative (trust me, I can be very negative) makes such a big difference for my daily life and for people around me. I'm working on it every day, it's something that I will work on till the day I die, and it's paying off little by little. And regarding my "issues". Instead of letting them overwhelm me I try to fix them, it might take some time and curage. But still, that's how you learn in life! You can't just push them away, they will come back, but you can't let them take over your life either. Sadly, I feel that a lot of people nowadays stare to much/put to much thoughts on the "what if's" and forget to live for them instead. It's a great adventoure not to know exactly what will happen and how boring would life be if you knew every little thing that would happen? Hey? If I would think of all the "if's" I would go mad. Completely mental! I guess what I'm trying to say is, just live! 

AND I'M BACK

I've had the best time, without any doubt! There's not a single thing that I would want to change. Do you understand that? Not a single thing! It's an amazing feeling not to regret anything. I have not had a single breather except one day, which for me is totally perfect. I've been nothing but social since the day I left to the day I came back. I can't even start to count all the people I've seen. I'm really glad about that, since it has allowed me to catch up with so many friends that I've not seen in ages! There's only two people that I really wanted to see that I didn't have the chance to meet, but there's always skype.

I have to say it's good to be back. I was afraid that it wouldn't feel like I had been away, I wouldn't have needed to worry. So much has happened that I couldn't possibly not notice a difference. But it's good because I have refilled my energy now for the kids. I can feel the diffrence so clearly. Aah, sweet life.

This is how it looks country-wise (all my traveling): Scotland - Sweden (weekend) - Finland (1 week) - Sweden (2 weeks and been everywhere) - Scotland.

I'm going to try to pack up my bag now. I would say two days is not to bad for it to just lie there with everything everywhere. But it sure would be nice to have it unpacked, to be honest. But we'll see. I'll do my best to convince myself to unpack.

Oh, and I'll try to put up some pictures in the next couple of days.

I'M ON HOLIDAY!

I am now (well yesterday evening) officially on holiday!! Say what?? And by the end of this day I will be on Swedish grounds. How weird is that? Cause at the moment I'm laying in my bed, woken up by the rain. I could sleep another two hours but I don't feel like it really. But I've only sleept 5 hours which will hit me later today. But that's OK cause I'm on HOLIDAY!!! Not had holiday since November and my last proper proper holiday (me being able to decide what to do whenever I feel like doing it) since I was 14! I'm so excited and nervous!!  Hihihi! and I have packed! I packed after 1 am but still, it's all packed.
There's a few more things that I need to do and then I'm done and ready to head of. See you soon Sweden and Finland!

2 DAYS TO GO

Tomorrow evening I will finally have vacation. I'm off for three weeks and including weekends it will be almost 4 weeks! I'm quite excited.
Yesterday while working so much happened so when the day finally came to an end I felt like I've been going non-stop for two days. But hey-ho it went all fine in the end.
So I'll be leaving for Sweden in two days. That's so crazy. It feels like I booked the tickets last week! The time has really just flown by. I'm still trying to catch up!
You know the saying "Time flies when you're having fun."? Couldn't agree with it more at the moment! I'm quite certain the next three weeks will disappear before I've even noticed they've been here. But that's how it's supposed to be, 'cause then I know I've actually had a good time!

JUST NOTHING BUT PERFECT

What a great weekend I had! Do you wanna know what I did? I did absolutely NOTHING. Well I did a few things, but they barely count, haha. Nothing was planned for the weekend. Nothing. I like writing that word at the moment. Has such a nice vibe to it in this situation. I watched New Girl, finished my book "Eleanor & Park" and started on a new one, answered all my letters (I still got one to send off to Greece, hopefully I'll get time to do that tomorrow), turned off my alarm and my phone, listened to music, wrote, finally came around to clean my ever-so-dirty room, ate strawberries/cream/ice-cream (HEAVEN) and then I did absolutely nothing. Shall I remind you that those few things happened over three days? Oh, what a splendid weekend I had! 

This week has been the first whole week with the kids on holiday. It's been really good actually. Started at noon on monday, yesterday and today I have worked 8-18 and tomorrow I will start at noon again. So it has been a good week so far. I didn't think I was able to love the kids more, but apperently I can. They've been on my nerves as well ofc, but I haven't expected anything else. We do spend a lot of time together. 

Yesterday I went for a walk and this was my view(!)

THREE BRETHREN WITH SISTER LAST WEEKEND
