Some things are awesome! Since the final exam week just started there are tables everywhere serving free coffee and with big signs “Good Luck for Your Final Exams!” Usually I spend more than triple as much money as a usually do on coffee during exam week.

Last night J and I helped Jesus with some money by eating blessed Tacos at Green Space. We are working really hard to help both Jesus and God. Probably they will be extra happy when we leave, which means that God will finally have peace at NPU again.

Time for me to continue my studies, I got two up-coming final exams on Wednesday and Thursday. Have a good night!

I can't wait to see S♥ again. It feels like these three days will take forever. I am lucky that I have all my final-exams in front of me which I can focus my thoughts on. Today is the beginning of the end, just four more days at NPU. I packed almost everything yesterday, just to see if everything was supposed to fit into my suitcases. Hopefully I can put my wellington boots and some other shoes into S♥ suitcase when he comes. With other words, I am ready to travel around US.

I spent my afternoon with my Fashion Guru Fnan. After hours of talking, sushi and haircuts I ended up in front of my computer with the marketing project. After some hours studying I rewarded myself with Macaroons and tea. I tried some different flavors, but the chocolate one is still my favorite!

J and I went to AMC theaters yesterday and saw Water for Elephants. It is definitely the best movie I have seen in a long time. Sadly, I did not read the book before we watched the movie. What I have heard, the book is amazing. Therefore my mission this summer, accept from work, studies and weight loss, is to read Water for Elephants written by Sara Gruen.

This sunny Sunday afternoon’s schedule is studies. Just 13 days left of the semester, which means only 13 days left of studies.

I almost forgot that I am invited to a wedding tomorrow! What to wear? Are you going too?

I am just kidding. I just set my alarm clock at 04.45 am since the Royal Wedding in England starts at 5am Chicago-time. I can’t wait to see all beautiful dresses, white horses and handsome guys. This is the biggest event in England since 1981 when Prince Charles and Diana got married.



I came back from the gym a couple of minutes ago and I need to get ready for my beauty sleep right away.

Good night!

Thursday after-work. How funny! S♥ and sis sitting in the sofa drinking beer and skyping with me. I miss you both so much!

4.5 miles on the treadmill and a hot shower. I am now ready to finish my packing. It is way too hard to select.

Got to go. Johan and J is waiting for me, we are going to play Phase Ten and I need to keep my position as a Phase Ten Master!

I have to annonce that I have officially turned down my opportunity to make my next exchange semester at Shanghai University. I will instead do my final courses at the University of Lund.

A good or bad decision?!
Who knows...

I hate when the professors do not send an e-mail before class if it is supposed to be cancelled! Especially when we are going to have an exam on Thursday or it is probably moved to next week. Instead of psychology class I ended up in the library with a large coffee and my psychology book before lunch. And I am now back in bed after a chicken stir fry for lunch. I just hate Tuesday- and Thursday-afternoon since my Marketing Research and Consumer Behavior class is so boring!

The sun is still shining over Chi-Town, but the wind is way chillier today than yesterday. The sun felt so nice this morning when I was out power walking, I was totally sure that today was going to be an awesome day. Sometime you should not listen to your instinct!

Never mind, I have to finish my psychology before next class starts. The rest of the afternoon will be spent with my Intermediate Macroeconomics books.

The weather is back on normal again after yesterday's taste of summer.

I am on my way to the gym. Need to do a real workout before class today, since I have got an unprepared exam this afternoon in Intermediate Macroeconomics. I will spend the rest of the day in the library studying to my exam on Thursday in Psychology.

I am so sick of all food at the moment. Last night I dreamt about Swedish knäckebröd and filmjölk. We almost skipped dinner last night, since we cannot stand all the greasy food anymore. Suddenly, five weeks feels like a really long time.

I bought some new shoes yesterday, and I can proudly present that I am ready for spring - 2011.

It is 28º outside today. We have been playing cards, football and relaxed in the sun the whole afternoon. It will probably be an enormous thunderstorm tonight, again. The weather forecast for next week is still good, around 15º and sun. Perfect for all our trips we are going to do. The rest of the night will be spent with my books. I have to get all studying done before Wednesday, which forces me to start right now.

J and I have been tourists in Chicago during this marvelous day of sun. Our tour started out at the Navy Pier. After a nice walk beside tons of other people and pretzels we continued the sightseeing to the Millennium Park to see the Chicago Bean. It is kind of a weird statue placed in the middle of all sky scrapes’. Since the sun was so warm today we continued to walk up Michigan Ave until we were back at the Water Tower Place.

I heard from some random talk in the beginning of the semester that it is apparently a ghost on the eights floor in our dorm. I, who never believe in ghost stories or supernatural powers, did not pay much attention to it.

Until… The other night after J and I had gone to bed something happened. It was a normal Thursday, and we went to bed around midnight. Suddenly, around three in the morning both of us woke up from a really noisy sound. My thirst thought was that some of the freshman’s on our floor had gone bananas with the vacuum cleaner. J jumped up from her bed, even though she was still sleepy and run around in the room to find out where the sound came from. And now to the scariest part, it was our hairdryer which was on. How is it even possible for the hairdryer to turn on in the middle of the night by itself? Creepy if you want to hear my opinion.
