On Wednesday I got back my maths exam on chapter 2 and found out that my teacher had forgotten to hand out the last two questions (which were on a separate sheet of paper), but luckily it didn't matter for me -- I had a good enough result on the ones I'd been given and solved that I would still pass. But then I tried to solve the two extra problems ( Read more... )

I'm home! Actually, I got back yesterday late afternoon, but by the time I had unpacked and cuddled the cat and caught up with everything you lot have written while I was away, I was absolutely knackered and had to go to bed. (The hotel did have WiFi, but it wasn't included in the price, and I was too stingy to fork out the fee ( Read more... )

I've just been to see La Clique perform at Stadshallen in Lund. It was gorgeous, jawdropping, provocative, hilarious, sexy and absolutely amazing. I feel like I've been screaming and applauding non-stop for two hours. Which is probably not that far from the truth.

I went with pnr and a friend of hers. When we went into the theatre, one of the guys ( Read more... )

snowgrouse just made me order tickets for John Simm's Hamlet on October 7. In Sheffield. Eeep!

I've booked the flight to England and the ticket for Speaking in Tongues! Yay! Butterflies in stomach, now. But butterflies are OK. (Snakes or wasps are worse. Don't want those ( Read more... )

Today there was a school performance of Arthur Miller's The Crucible (Häxjakten in Swedish translation) at Malmö Stadsteater, so I tagged along to that. The story is, of course, really unsettling and provoking ( Read more... )

It's really, really cold now! Well, for the south of Sweden, anyway. :) The snow is still here, although it's mostly ice on the pedestrian/bicycle paths. BUT at long last I get to wear my new grey woolen winter coat that I bought in Cambridge! I've owned it for three months, but it hasn't been cold enough until now, so yesterday was the first day I ( Read more... )

I pulled something in my back on my way to the train station. I think I must have pulled the same muscle a couple of weeks ago, because I had a dull pain in the same spot for a while, and then it went away again. But now it's back and this time it's worse. It hurts when I stand, it hurts when I walk, and it hurts when I sit. I hope it won't hurt ( Read more... )

I just got my new pressure cooker! Am now reading through the (not perfectly translated) manual.

And in about an hour I'm going to Malmö to see Jösses flickor - återkomsten. (Yes, it was today, not the 27th.)

My school sells reduced-price tickets for the play Jösses flickor!, playing in Malmö later this month. It's based on a classic feminist show from the 1970s, and I have the record with all the songs from it (on vinyl, of course, so I never listen to it anymore). :) The people who wrote and produced it later became quite famous and established. I don ( Read more... )
