back to school

so i'm back at uni again after nearly a year of volunteering and work..it sure feels strange to go back to something you are not used to doing..but this time i'm at a different uni ( I have moved to Uppsala) and a bachelor programme instead of master which i think will suit me better. And this week and the following we're having orientation and getting to know our classmates..so we have a lot of fun all day long playing games and socializing etc...tonight we played rounders (simlar to baseball but not quite). After that everyone went to a tent where there was a party with music and beer but i decided to go home..yes i know you think i'm boring and all that but i guess that sometimes i'm satisfied with a little less...and since i don't drink it's a bit harder to 'melt in' sometimes..but that's just me i guess..

anyways i don't know what will happen to this blog since no one seems to read or comment anything? (i know i write very randomly and maybe that's why some might think it's never updated)..oh well..guess everyone uses facebook nowadays..

I forgot

to say that sweden took its first Olympic medal today!! I was watching with my dad and it was so exciting i couldn't sit still. Emma Johansson took silver after a tough spurt in the women's road cycling race. wohooooo!!

This summer

I have been procrastinating all the things I should have done before I start with uni. Now it's only 5 days left before I move and I realize I must start doing all those things i could have done all summer...I never learn.

Everyone can learn

- to believe that people can change
- to make decisions consciously and responsibly
- the recognize the power of belief
- to allow themselves to be led by the word of God
- to have a positive attitude to life
- to choose a direction for their lives and follow it
- to stop wanting to be right all the time
- to recognize the importance of discussion
- to become less emotional and more loving
- to act, rather than simply react
- to become less self-centered and more spiritual

...and to believe in lasting happiness rather than fleeting moments of pleasure
