no classes.
that's true. i'll not have classes until the 9th of march, which is quite insane. but we'll have mock exams and preparations for them before that, so i presume i'll have to do anyway...
yesterday was a very interesting day. we had a world today on the israeli-palestinian conflict. one had always seen this topic as being very complex, but it was not until yesterday that i realized the complete complexity contained within it. it is i n s a n e how infected that conflict is. really. anyhow, we had a very good presentation and an afterfollowing debate with the same standard. unfortunately, i don't have any pictures of the debate, but it was good, that i can tell you.
so, now i'm going to look through all my papers in order to get some order in my corner. nice double-posting on order there. well well. oh! and tonight, it's the future party. i'm waiting for some nice music.

this place is never going to be like before without you. love you.
those winters.
today has been a nice day. woke up in time (as usual, actually), went to breakfast and did my philosophy homework since i had the first block as a free block. nice.
The blizzard is making tears in your eyes
And the strokes bruisers in your face
Soon, I guess, the summer comes around
From time to time it's better to be beaten up in the backyard
When the sun sets with a pink sky above"
after a very rewarding philosophy class treating topics such as the justification of the state and anarchism, upon which i argued for the human being's inevitable selfishness, i had mathematics and later english and economics. not at the same time though. economics was very fun, as it is very often. the snow is staying, which i am glad for. now i am going to finish off some work.
"You remember all those winters
The snow drifts under your back The blizzard is making tears in your eyes
And the strokes bruisers in your face
Soon, I guess, the summer comes around
From time to time it's better to be beaten up in the backyard
When the sun sets with a pink sky above"
love.
"forget the weather report, it's your fault!"
tok island, last summer. oh nose, sun, why hast thou abandoned me?
an old favourite. denise in one of her more playful contributions to our laughs.
flekke + snow = true
we have loads of snow, which is wonderful in the most utmost sense of the word. i love when taking oneself to school becomes a project thorugh windling paths and possible dangers of slipping and breaking your back.
SNÖ.
vi har SNÖ. massor av SNÖ. det är helt underbart. och det kommer mer. SNÖ. SNÖ. bilder kommer imorgon. lovar.
puss.
i'm tired.
yes. i need to sleep. well, go to sleep then, stupid person? and yes. that is exactly what i am going to do now. good night for a while.
but fiiirst. i just want to tell you that today, i realised how much i miss clothes (which does not mean that i go around naked). i haven't been shopping properly for quite a while. which hurts, in a sense. but really, it is not the shopping in itself that is pleasurable. it's the clothes. qualitative, ever-lasting, nice clothes. like cashmere. i like cashmere.
pause.
now i'm writing just to get out of study-mode. i have been studying quite a lot the last days, and it is nice to see that something substantial remains outside of my study bubble. like my blog, for instance. i am really enjoying the weather at this point, since it is so much better compared to last year. now, we're going around in snow and having sunshine and blue skies whilst we last year pondered through rain and clouds. it feels so much lighter and happier now. and yes, i get dragged along in that positive river. i get happier, more energy fuels me. it's nice.
further, i am really annoyed that i won't be able to attend the fever ray concert in gothenburg. oh nose, why is this happening? hopefully, our dear karin will announce more shows (it even says so on the website!) but one can never be too sure that they will occur at a good time, for me, that is. oh well, i suppose i just have to hope and wait. the album is super nice though. dark and suggestive, yet hopeful and happy, in a weird way. but then again, who supposed that karin ever would do anything that is not precisely that?
good night, dear whoeveryouare.
the queen is dead.
the queen is dead. we will miss her. commemorate her.

sunny flekke.
yeap.
you'll pass this on, won't you?
you walk in through the doors to the big hall. up there you see blinking lights forming something resembling of a "v". there are people everywhere, small remarks about excitement. suddenly everything gets dark. people start to get excited, for real. someone is counting down, and there you have it. a subtle blinking sound, growing to something bigger together with the cheers in the crowd. the bass starts. you're in heaven.
give me spring and easy breezes.
i want sunshine, tank tops and tanned bodies. now. give me.
besides from that, life is running fine. i am really coming into studying mode, to the soundtracks of loads of new music, which is very nice. further i have realized that this term is going to pass by faster than i ever would've thought, which is really scary. at this point, i can't really imagine my life without this place. but i suppose that'll be alright. one thing is for sure though, i will never be the one i was before i came here again. not that it's something i'm mourning over, but rather that i feel like a whole person. for real. it's comforting.
back to school, baby.
today has been my first real school day for a veery long time. anyhow, it feels nice. PBL (project based learning) week was nice, but it still feels like I needed to get back to normal school life to get back my life. you know, structure and that kind of stuff. so, now i am sitting here, studying economics.
and in the midst of this, i want to give you a tip about one of the great indie pop/chamber pop treasures out there. belle & sebastian's "tigermilk". listen and enjoy. it's pure dreams.
