26. 1957

I had a hard week. For a moment I felt like back in Poland, all stressed out and in hurry. But I'm done now with all troubles and can start breathing again. And I am breathing with accords of "Summertime". Year 1957. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. I'm pretty sure that year was as beautiful as this song :)

25. Get in touch

I'm not very good with making friends. And I am definitely not good with keeping in touch with people. I do however notice when someone if more friendly with me. That is why I decide today to send some sms's, mail's to friends of my that I wasn't lately in touch. Yes, we are all busy, but to send a short "Hi, how are you?" takes just a few seconds. Anyone can find time for that.

My small activity worked like a chain effect. I received mails not only from the people I send messages too,  but from few more. And it was really nice to know that someone there is thinking about me :)

24. Laziness

Most part of the saturday we spend in bed. We didn't feel like doing anything and after last few weeks, where we both were busy and active, being in bed seemed like a right thing to do :) I did it with clear conscience. I did have en intensive workout on friday and I knew I will be working out hard the day after. Laziness is good for you! (from time to time)

23. Storytelling

Yes I like stories and fairy tales. I like to listen to people that tell them. I like to read them. And since I work with kids I also do love to be a storyteller myself. I like to believe I am good at it. Today i was telling a story about the clever fox. Kids loved it and asked for more later. I start telling "The Three Sillies" with four kids next to me. Then four turned into 8 and at the end 15. And then I has to tell it one more time. I love my job :)

22. Paper and pencil

I have a great power in my hands. A power that helps me control group of kids. I can draw! I just couldn't break the wall between me and kids. Till today. I was helping making some poster to the classroom. I got kids attention when i started drawing different kinds of fishes. They loved it. And I am no longer invisible for them. Now I'm cool "fröken" that can draw ;)

I'm tired...

...but still smiling :)

21. New beginnings

New course starts today. At the beginning of a new course I am always full of expectation, hopes, plans. I am always determinate to be a exemplary student, study hard and regularly. Readying all the texts i need to read, be prepared and active. Yes, beginnings are always showing the bright future. Few days later I'm too tired to do anything and I'm finding hundreds of excuses to not do a single thing. But it's going to be different thing time. For sure ;)

20. Cosy songs

A good song should have both nice melody and lyric. For me genre is not so important since i can enjoy any kind of music. Energetic house music at the gym, classic music while I'm studying, good ol' rock from 50s to clean up apartment, hard rock when I'm pissed and so on, and so on. There are however songs that i like to listen to now cause of mood I am in but to change it.

Tiny grain by Cecilia Nyquist is one of them (other might be Ingrid Michealson's "The way I am"). It just perfect song for after the gym, when you are still all hyper cause of the workout and fast music. You getting calm but not sad. I just makes you enjoy world around you with all the small things. There are simply cosy.

19. Movies based on comic series

I had "hemtenta"yesterday. Swedish solution for how students knowledge should be examine. It is basically normal exam with questions and time for answering them, however you sit at home, not at school.  I took some exams back in my times but it was nothing like this. It's tricky. You might thing: I am at home, with all books and internet. It's gonna be just fine. And the cosiness of your home is fooling you big time. The "hemtenta" is a nightmare. Be aware of it! Fear it!

Anyway that was yesterday. Today is my 3rd anniversary of moving to Sweden. Times goes fast folks. We didn't celebrate it much, mostly cause we forgot about it. We did had nice lunch on my favorite street in Gothenburg: Hagagatan. We went for a duck hunting to feed some (we did not succeed, ducks were intimidate by seagulls). And to make this day even nicer, we went to see Tintin. I never read the comic but my man grow up with them. I liked the movie a lot but he was disappointed with names. I can't agree more. Milou is Milou and it should not be call Snowy!

18. Making jokes

Today was fun...               Not! :P

17. Fruit

I did crashed my ipod headset. One store in my neighborhood had a offert for headset so I went to check it out. Nice pair of philips headset for only 50 SEK. But I was not sure. I got little bit confused so I took off. On the way back home I bought two, big pomegranate. That was much easier decision to make. And I'm going to enjoy it as much as a new headset. One day.

16. Chaturangahdsgdahd...

I feel better. What don't kill us will make us stronger, right? To get read of at least one problem i took joga classes this morning. It didn't help me find peace and solve my problem but it definitely helped my sore muscles. I'm also getting better with my favorite joga position: Chaturanga Dandasana. That sucker is from hell but what life is without challenges, right? On the other hand how stupid I am to get up at 5:30 am to do some chatudatu thing.

00. Downer

I have a horrible day. I use present form cause it is not done yet. I woke up from a nightmare in a very bad mood. I crashed my ipod headset. I received unpleasant mail from my boss. I had to fight with a person that does not do his jobb. I'm stressed cause of school and incoming test. And i have this bad, bad feeling of jealousy suffocating me. This is not my day. But it should be better tomorrow. Wise man said: "Try for once exaggerate the happiness, not the problem". I'm going to try that tomorrow.
