Weekly news
I am so sorry for my dull updates here. The second part of the semester just started, and I have already written two assignments and have two upcoming exams in the end of the week. I have seriously more to do now after spring break than I had before?! Sometimes I do not understand the thinking of the professors. Honestly spoken, I think my professors wanted some extra days of vacation too, because since we started this week more than half of my lectures were cancelled due to illness.
My body really needs a good night sleep, so I cannot wait until Saturday. Even though J and I spent our last night of spring break at Hilton, I still feel like I need some more rehabilitation from Mexico. Comically this week is called “the sleep week” at NPU, and I understand why.
It is merely seven weeks left of the semester. How come that times fly? The only thing I do not like with Chicago at the moment is that the spring refuses to show up. Hopefully the sun is out in three weeks when my mum and sis is coming over.
I just have to ad that I have heard the funniest sentence ever the other day; “Oh that fucking almost hurt me!” How can something fucking-almost-hurt?! It does not make sense, which makes it so funny.

MEXICO CANCUN
I am in Mexico. We are back the 19th of March.
Friday dilemma
I need to find the american substitue to the swedish "resorb". We were at Walgreens yesterday and tried to explain something with dehydration, but that did not work at all....
J just came back from the hairdresser and now we are on the way down town, spending this lovely friday afternoon in the sun.
All the best!
Tangy triple cheese
The best chips ever are the Tangy Triple Cheese for only $1. I am not sure if I dare to tell you that they are even better than Sourcream & Onion back home. Crazy but true.
I am at the moment trying to select what to bring to Cancun. Not that I have a lot to choose from, since I got all my summer clothes in Sweden. As entertainment are J and I listening to carols. I think NPU has driven us doolally with all their praying and church-talk...!
Sunscreen collection
I don't think it is possible to be more sunscreen prepaird than we are right now. I love Clinique's City Block to the face with 40SPF, a really light and smooth sunscreen.
The Big Apple
New York City. It is hard to imagine how much The States really has to offer. Last night J and I booked a flight to the Big Apple over Easter break. New York must be one of few places on earth where it is impossible to get board. Even if I was there last spring, I have so much left to see in that city. Second hand shopping in Soho, Brooklyn, night clubs at Meatpacking District and so much more.
My semester in US is really intense. First spring break in Mexico, then my sister and mum is coming over to Chicago, the week after is NYC and following weeks are the last two at NPU. After final exams are S♥ and his brother coming over and all of us, including J, will travel to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. I love my life right now.

SPA
Pedicure, manicure and leg wax. I am ready for Mexico.
Tacobell-dinner. Yummy!
Sunshine
Finally the sun is shining, I don't think I have seen it in almost a week... This afternoon is my final exam in Marketing, and after that it is almost spring break already. Afterwards I am going to get some weekday luxury as a reward to myself with manicure and pedicure.
6 days left
Monday again and it is just six days left until Spring Break and Mexico, which makes my marketing studies go a bit easier. Tomorrow is the D-day.
I just came back from a coffee at Beijo. I ate one of their delicious muffins, with cinnamon and strawberry, but now it is back to studies and the rest of the afternoon will be spent in the library.
The Mid
Exam exam exam
The upcoming exam I told you about is the final one in that course, which is lovely since I realized that it was the most boring class I have taken so far. Marketing is such an important part of the organizational structure, but marketing research is not interesting at all. Formulating questionnaires and penetrate the target market into segments and analyzing why people buy a certain product. I am glad though that I chose to take this course, because I had already decided to take a master within marketing management but I have now rapidly changed my mind. I will do a master in management and organizational development instead, which is what I want to work with later on in my career.
I was on my way to the gym this morning, and I am still on my way so to say. I have been studying for a couple of hours now and I need a break. I hope it will stop snowing in a bit… This gives me a reason to watch an episode of the OC while I am waiting.

Friday Happenings
The best nights are always the unprepared ones. This soaking-rain-night has been spent with a lot of funny and nice people. We started out eating at one of the best restaurants around here until all of us got kind of a food coma. Somehow afterwards we ended up at the cinema and saw The Adjustment Bureau. Of course I wanted to get some popcorn, and the drinks we got to the meal were the biggest ever! I don’t think I ever seen a soda container that big before, which reminded me anew that I am in the States.
At least some study was done in the library
Yummy Buffe
Have a good night.
Friday 04.03.11
Exam-studying-weekend. This weekend is not going to be as funny as all other weekends here, since we got a final exam in Marketing Research and Consumer Behavior on Tuesday next up coming week.
My Mummy and sis finally booked their tickets to Chicago yesterday. They will now spend almost a week here and hopefully the weather has turned into a lovely spring.
Dinner for two
This is the second time in two months that I have descided what to eat for dinner. Tonight's menu: shrimps (or prawns..!) with garlic bread, ceasar salad and mini-carrots (and some extra chicken-wings to J), which was served with wine on floor. Life is carzy sometimes. I must have been a really boring date though, because J fell asleep almost before I was done eating! That's good for me, becasue now I got all cheese chips and coke by myself.
Hunter Socks
Two pairs of Hunter Socks are on the way home to me. I really love the leopard patterned once, they will be perfect to my leopard patterned umbrella.
Today it is only nine days left until SPRING BREAK! Can't wait! Mexico will just be so much fun.
