i'm so excited

I can't wait til we move into our own little house. I really want to start decorating, moving in to my own little haven with photos on the walls and little bits and pieces from my life everywhere. I kept these sheets of paper, from a3, 300 gsm, recycled from when i was trimming a booklet for uni the other weel, and I think they're gonna work as photoframes. they all have this really nice bleed from the images. It's gonna look so nice. Then we decided to get pets. Fish. Josie already got one, Chilli, but we should all have one each I'd say. I'd rather have a cat or a pup, but that seems like taking it a bit too far. babysteps.

One other thing we need to have though, is bicycles. I want a white one, Lou wants a red or yellow one I think. Josie wants one, don't know which colour. Maybe blue, light blue, or light green. light pastells. she loves light, bleached pastells. I really would like the one I have in Sweden to move down here, its pretty in red with white flowers all over it. I painted it myself when I was 15. Just after I got a vespa for my birthday, my parents must have thought I was mad.

Soon, I'm going to uni, I need to prepare a presentation for our group work. Since Lou Matt and I are not here on tuesday, when the pres is supposed to be held, but in Melbourne we're making it for the others in the group to present. I already have the frameworks for it from the last one we made. And it's the same studio this time, so I can just use those templates. Wee woo. It'll be over before it started.

It's nice and warm here again. If this is fall or winter, then I don't know what to say. It's supposed to be 26 and sunny today, 28 tomorrow. well, Im not complaining - I heard it started snowing in sweden again last week. buhu, I'm never going back.

well, that was all from me this morning. You can probably expect a weekend update on sunday, until then we're fully busy.

do it the virgin way..

I just made a banner. a banner for Virgin.... it's not pretty. I would put it up here if I knew how to do it. But we haven't been taught that yet...

I had a terrible dream last night. another pregnant dream.... but this time I was able to take the pregnant belly off just like a backpack. don't know what this mean.. and I don't think I want to know. well, enough about that.

nicole, the good blogger, already told you about everything worth knowing...so i can tell you all about hte stupid stuff.

oh! something that nicole didn't tell you about : we got a package today. from Sarita, the little lovely girl. She had made a beautiful little package with lovely words, photos, some jewelry and a book for nicole (since it was her birthday not so long ago). and two pink pens. what a nice surprise! and when i got home from school and city and all that what do i find in the mail box but two little letters from our lovely friend Tae Tae! I love letters, more of that - mom, dad?

ok enough is enough.. i wanna go out and try our speed ropes.

(ok I forgot to tell you about hte other stuff)... wll we got two free coffees today, nicole got a free toast aswell, bought a pear and raspberry bread - try it. had class and went home. and there you have it. sorry for being a loser blogger. maybe loserville would be a good name for my room in the new house. well maybe i'll improve.

the art of naming houses and people

It's settled. We've now officially abandoned the boys, sorry darlings, in favour of Josefin to be our new roommate. We do feel a bit bad about it, but the three of us spend all our time together and due to different circumstances, little Josie couldn't longer move in with the peeps she was planning to move in with, so we took her under our wings and decided that she should live with us. So we're splitting up into two groups, one of three girls and one of two boys, since it's impossible to find a place for five. We do hope everyone's happy about this change and that no feelings were hurt in the process. We would so hate that. Met Antonio today though and he seemed happy as always to see us so it doesn't seem like there's any harsh feelings there. Pheew.

So, today we've been looking around for houses and a name for our future house to be. It's leaning towards the kinder egg since it's tagline sums up the three of us - fun, play and surprise. We're one characteristic each - I'm surprise, Lou's play and Josie's fun. Suits us very well. Then we're gonna divide our house into three parts to characterise those characteristics at our epic house warming we're gonna have as soon as the move is reality. And we're making three types of cocktails that gonna represent each of them and having big bowls of kinder eggs. pretty good. Or, we might just name the house loserville since we're kind of silly. But adorable non the less, and a whole lot of fun.

We've got grand plans for the weekend. I write about it now, but in fear of our parents being a bit worried that we only have fun and partying and not studying enough. But we do take our studies seriously. Very serious, always comes first hand. But, we have fun too, so parents, don't worry. Thursday after school we're going to chingalings (of course), then we've promised to make an appearance at Darlo Bar. Then come friday we're going to some warehouse party with the friends we made last weekend at the birthday party, then saturday is going to be spent with them again when the Cooking Club has another date at Thompson St. And on monday we're off to Melbourne and AGideas. very very exciting. Josie might actually come down for one night since its public holidays here due to Anzac day bext week. fingers crossed.

Now, I'm waiting for Lou to finish blogging on her blog for uni so we can go down to the park and try out our new jump ropes, or speed ropes, as it says on the package. very exciting. Toned arms - here we come.

another one came and went

as been said heaps times before, weekends fly by here. well all time flies by here. it's because we're having the time of our lives which is good, but it's also sad since it means our time here is slowly coming to an end. well we still have at least 2 more years or so. but still. anyhow, another weekend has past and is what I'm gonna write about. Thursday was spent in ordinary fashion with class till 7 pm, then ching-a-lings. we then went to Low 302 another bar which we came upon a while ago. Very nice place.
In ordinary fashion we had a great time, met some new people, new friends.

Then friday came, we had groupwork so Lou, Matt, Kristen, Daniel and myself met up at Arnold Place in surry hills which is the space we're re-designing for some phototaking, planning, interviewing and researching at the State Library. Daniel and Kristen did a great job interviewing people and the rest of us dug into the library, the Mitchell Library which is th eold one with micro films and stuff and looked fpr information about the site. In Mitchell Library they still use card slips for when you're looking for things in an library. If you've ever watched Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's the same system here now as it is in that film. It's quite adorable and has some kind of therapeutic sense to it. Don't bother being stressed, it'll take them at least 25 min to go get your book. Then Lou and I made spaghetti bolognese for us, matt and ben and then we watched Let the right on in. beautiful film. creepy. but beautiful. and swedish at that.

Yesterday was also spent studying, but at Forbes and Burton with coffees and laptops instead of card slips and waiting. Lou, Josie and I sat there all day long brainstorming and making monograms and logos. We then had dinner on Josie's rooftop and then we went out. We went to chingalings again, then Low. We met some of the other swedes, hung out with them at chings for a while. Then Josie went home, and Lou and me met up with Matt, Mat and Ben and went to TS and his friends birthday houseparty. It was a fun night all in all. Today we had breakfast in Darlinghurst with Josie since we left all our stuff there yesterday after study session and then we walked in the sunshine and went home. Now we're studying again. Well, soon, after I finsih this post and has hung up my laundry.

This is where we were on friday night. oh, we're in the stopmotion video. such a fun night. x

weekend recap

we had such a nice weekend, friday was so much fun, we acted parents for Josefin and Fredrik on their graduation - us poor swedish kids with no parents here to attend graduation nights. But thank god we have friends! so we went to NIDA and watched our kids graduate and then Lou, Josie, Nick and I went to our lecturer Lulu's studio The Company We Keep on Oxford St for a little creative get together thing on their rooftop where they showed different artists work, animation and films mainly - so cool. Apparently they'll do it monthly, could be an awesome tradition. we hung out with all these nice people, we had heaps of fun, I found myself a mentor - Pan at Landor. which is kind of amazing, Landor's huge and has offices all over the world. wee hoo. We then went to catch up with the graduates who were hanging out at the Beresford, we then walked down oxford to Low bar (where Pocket bar owner were btw) and then we ran into Garth and his friend and hung out with them for therest of the night. crazy night, so much fun, met so many new people.

The rest of the weekend wasn't that interesting, spent all day and nights studying. We have an assessment due tomorrow, but we're finsihed. I had to re-print one page though since I forgot to put my name on it. Intelligent move.

Now I need to finish my mind map and then its bondi rescue on tv. x

and i shall name him henry

i want him to be my new pet. x

This is what i'll do when i'm old.

a love // hate relationship

towards Dreamweaver is what we're experiencing right now. Louise is leaning more towards the hate end of it. our websites are due on thursday, we're more or less finished. there's just the matter of it looking the same and working the same way in all web browsers. right now, opera is freaking us out. stupid thing.

anyway, today's been a lovely day as usual in this lovely city we call home. apart from me having a fever or something like that. it's a bit annoying, but both Louise and Kate's been sick lately so i guess it's just fair if I catch something too. well, easter's been heaps of fun! started off with egg hunt and partying at the terrace and then going out on saturday. spent the night at the terrace with our sydney fam, i baked scones to everyone in the morning. (while writing this, i get the feeling i already posted this..hmm...we'll have to wait and see - ok, just checked the blog, and no, i'm all good, haven't written about this before.) then ben and i went over to milsons pt and rented a movie and we all cuddled upp under pillows and dunos in the livingroom in front of the tv and watched movies all day long.

yesterday we studied. studied, studied, studied. like the good girls we are. we made risotto, and we cleaned the whole apartment since the real estate woman came over today, she had a look at our non-working dishwasher and broken bathroom window. i also talked to her about moving out early. seems like it can happen. therefore we're going to an inspection tomorrow and one on saturday. the one on saturday is really good. and in surry hills of course.

today lou worked in the morning, i hung out with the real estate woman, then we went to pocket for lunch with matt and josie and project work, then sat in the state library for ages reading and researching for school work, then we went home and now we're finishing our websites. interesting day. well, ill treat you to some photos of pocket at least. im in love with the owner btw. i think his name i karl. most people already know this, but not all. so now you do. x

Glad påsk!

Today is easter saturday here in Sydney. Apparently the day they get easter eggs and candy here isn't til tomorrow but in Sweden it's on påskafton. Which is today. Lou and I have prepared a little egg hunt for the Sydney family. However, there's no such thing as easter eggs here, not in the swedish meaning of the word that is. They only have chocolate eggs, not the cardboard one's we have that you then fill upp with candy. So we had to compromise. They're not as pretty as could be but hey, they do the job!

On thursday we stayed at college until 8.30. We had class til 7 but then we stayed behind with teacher Mark. So now i've finished my website. It looks good I think. For my first go at least. Lou's almost done, she has a shadowbox taht doesn't want to co-operate but then hers will be done too!

Yesterday we went to the Terrace for some groupwork at 10. Just to find everyone decked out since they'd gone out the day before. They have a friend, Ben, over from Brisbane to visit over easter so thursday was his first night here. So we did what we usually do when we go there and find them all decked out. We wake them up. We had breakfast all together, then we did our studying. Then we baked them chocolate cake, played a few boardgames. Had picnic in the park and played around. We're going to an AFL game in a couple of weeks. I'm kind of excited. I miss the ice hockey. Then Lou and I walked home while brainstorming our little project. While home we continue studying til the wee hours of the night. We're such good students.

Now, we just woke up. It's sunny. It was supposed to be raining so I'm happy. It being easter and all I'm wearing my yellow betsy johnson dress. It's actually more white than yellow but yellow stands out more than white so a yellow dress it is. Its got angels sitting on clouds all over it. It's pretty and I love it but I rarely use it. I thought today would be a perfect occasion. So we're going over to the Terrace this afternoon for egg hunting and some fun n' games, then we're going out. But until then, my brain is devoted to my assignments.

Hope you're all having a wonderful easter saturday!
