I haven't written anything here for ages. I guess I could blame being busy, but that's not true. I basically spent my summer doing nothing and it was great! Then it was back to work in August, but I've had far less to do this year than the year before that. I guess I prefer to read what other people have written on the net than to write myself ( Read more... )

Here is my new userpic of my cat Ingvar. This was taken when he was just a kitten, about three months old. Now, he's a big, smelly fur-ball that takes up half the space in my bed, but I absolutely adore him! He's almost a year old now, but I can't have him neutered yet because his breeder wants to pair him with one of her cats. Apparently, Ingvar ( Read more... )

I've booked my summer holiday and it's going to be a trip to the US again! I've only been to Seattle and the north-west before, but this time I'm flying to Las Vegas, where I join a Footloose tour to Monument Valley and Grand Canyon ( Read more... )

It's been impossible to post anything here for a while, since my computer has decided to hate LJ again. He (I'm convinced my computer is a he) has stopped hating the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, but LJ must have done something far worse, because the posting page and my friends page get turned off almost as soon as the page is uploaded. For ( Read more... )

Well, on Monday it's back to work again. I can't say I'm looking forward to it. I wish I had nicer students that didn't whine so much. It really gets on my nerves when they think they are the centre of the universe. If they looked around they would see that there are at least 20 other people in the class that want my attention and there is only one ( Read more... )

Oh dear. Maybe it's going to work this time. My computer has decided to start hating LJ and turns off the internet almost as soon as I get to my friends page. This only happens with LJ and the webpage of the the biggest morning paper in Sweden, Dagens Nyheter. I wonder what they have done to offend my computer ( Read more... )

I've been so busy at work this autumn and too tired in the evenings to update this journal. Next week is a holiday for the students in Sweden and teachers only have to work until Wednesday, so I hope to be able to relax a little. I really need this break! I've started to almost hate some of my students and I'm really fed up with teaching. I wish ( Read more... )

The working week is over and I'm so happy I don't have to go to work tomorrow. I'm fed up with my students at the moment. They've been agressive and and in very strange moods the whole week. Some of them are fasting because they're muslims, but I haven't had much trouble with them. Maybe it's because days are getting shorter and colder and there's ( Read more... )

I've been working for almost three weeks now and I've been really busy. I have so many classes and lessons this year and my working days are longer. I would really like to have a holiday to look forward to, but there's only a short break in the term in early November and that's over two months away. Perhaps I should book a few days in London in ( Read more... )

I have to go back to work tomorrow and it feels quite OK, actually. Life has been a lot better the last week, after the devastating death of my beloved cat Tryggve ( Read more... )
