Tomorrow I'm finally leaving. Good lord. The day is coming so fast. Two weeks of intense military training on the airbase F17. Starting tomorrow at noon ( Read more... )

 
Not so positive:

• It appears I ate something very-not-good at the restaurant today (since I am puking and feel nauseous whenever I stand up/sit/move/breathe).
•  I have not been working out since Monday last week. 
• My ear lobe is infected and hurts like a mother fuuuu.
• The weather sucks.

Positive:

• I now have the train tickets to the military course in my  ( Read more... )

Some of my fondest memories involve the circus. I have always loved the mystique and magic that the circus brings, and though I am (supposedly) grown up, I still appreciate it. Of course some of the magic disappears because you understand that the animals might be mistreated or that the foreign workers don’t get paid what they should, but it still ( Read more... )

 
I'm at work at the moment, drinking some tea and abusing the internet. My little lady is sleeping, so I have pretty much nothing to do until lunch. I'm occasionally talking to the cat or doing small chores that I stumble upon. I think I shall brew a pot of coffee and maybe bury my nose in a book.

A few days ago I was called up by a woman who ( Read more... )

So today I woke up with a sore throat. I just got better from my last cold about a week ago. I am not very happy with this development. But, on the other hand, I got a letter that made my day a bit better ( Read more... )

It's one of those nights when it feels impossible to fall asleep. Everyone s either snoring or talking way too loud in their sleep, cars are roaring past outside my window and it's so light outside it's practically morning. The sun will be up in a hour. Oh dear.

I really envy people who can fall asleep on command, sleep through everything and get ( Read more... )

There's a few things on my plate today. But it's alright. most of the things are fun, so I'm not exactly complaining (who am I kidding, of course I am).

First of all, my sister is getting married in a few weeks and there's a lot of stuff going on there. It will be a most spectacular and funny wedding (not to mention hen party). I have to find a ( Read more... )

I'm doing a little dance of joy right now.

There are other ways of getting into the Swedish army. You can, if you have no other alternative or if it fits you better, go through the voluntary defense. They train people in different fields so that you can get a permanent position in the army later, or even better, go through the real training ( Read more... )

I'm not really a people person. There are times when I feel like slapping people for being so unimaginably stupid that I cannot cope. But I don't. I don't really like confronting people. I'd rather keep a low profile than to bitch and moan to humans that don't listen anyway.

One thing that I keep hearing about myself is that I am calm. Relaxed. I ( Read more... )

 I have always been fascinated by the men and women that go to war. They are only human, not even close to superheroes, and still they manage to muster up massive proportions of strength and courage. They fight and overcome. I have always wondered if I might be like them.

A few years ago this idea started to grow inside me. Was I good enough? Brave ( Read more... )
