GRAD TRIP: MARBELLA, SPAIN

http://www.hotelsultanclubtgs.com

Plane leaves in a couple of hours, so I gotta get going. SO EXCITED! Beach, party, shopping, chill and whatever else, with (almost) all the 100 people from our grade. Perfect.

I got my camera with me, so expect loads of photos when I get back:) See you in a week!

6 TIMES INSTAGRAM

iPhone 4/Instagram

Sums up my latest couple of days. First one, strawberries and yogurt i.e. amazing breakfast. Second, longboarding. Third, me with an awesome emo fringe going on. Four, SUMMER view from my balcony. Five, my feet while out biking (in the crazy heat...) and six, last night, on my boyfriend's roof with an awesome view, a fire, blankets and champagne. Perfection.

Today I ran around town for some last minute Marbella supplies. Tomorrow I'm packing, and tomorrow afternoon we're leaving! GRAD TRIP here we come.!

DONE!!!!!!!!!!

Photobooth: right now

I just finished. Took my last exam today. Two years, laughter, panic attacks, the library, Starbucks, crazy nights out to celebrate having finished "one more step and almost there" (and then freak out in the morning when you realize you just wasted a whole night of studying), more panic attacks, more celebration, and now... nothing.

I finished the god damn International Baccalaureate Diploma Program today.

And for more than a year now, I have nothing to do. NOTHING.

I keep on thinking that there are unfinished things that I have to do. But no, there is nothing. Weirdest. feeling. ever.

(Now let's just hope that with the results that we're gonna receive in June that I passed...)

Tonight we're going all freaking in, starting off in my apartment with a few people, then a friend's house for the rest of the night. Tomorrow sleep, Tuesday Marbella, next Saturday graduation. June 15th Karolin is visiting from Indianapolis, after that Amsterdam, then Sweden, and then? We'll see.

SO MUCH LOVE!!!!!!

This basically sums up my day today. (It's Annika, btw, and her name isn't Anal-Snart for real. Fun parents that would do that! haha)

Biology paper 1 and 2 tomorrow, and I'm far from ready. But it's all I got.

Paper 3 on Friday. Gotta work on that tomorrow too.

Friday afternoon, please come to me now now now.

Hello dolls. I just thought I'd show you this. It's a little website looking blog format thing I created for my photographs. Incredibly super gartantuan massively far from done, but I figured I'd show you anyway. You can comment on each subheading too, just press right under the photographs where it says "Comment!" and you can write something in there. Which I think you should, no matter nice or mean.

The url is http://majaelsas.blogg.se/photography (will probably be changed to its own domain soon though).

That's all for now. Back to studying Biology. Love!

THIS IS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW.

LATELY:IPHONE 4/INSTAGRAM

I've been hanging out in my room. Playing guitar as a mean of procrastinating what I really need to do... which is studying for Biology.

On my way to school (Switzerland is pretty), and Biology tutoring later on.

Yesterday's lunch with Amber, best combination: salami and cake. Haha. Then later on my way home, I swear my sunglasses aren't as massive as they look like they are.

Last night. Late night longboarding, and I found a friend! It was the sweetest thing, I was going past a farm and he randomly ran up to me and just sat down with his paw on my board. Love. And later, I realized my pants matched my neon wheels. Super.

ILLUMINATE

Digging deeper, dirt under my nails and blood on my knuckles. In my mind I'm a millionaire and a rock n' roll star, in reality I'm nothing but it's still all I have. The wrinkle between my eyes complement my sarcastic mindset, questioning if something is really the matter while simultaneously, the direct opposite.

Let me show you how the story really goes.

OUTSIDE, THE CARS ARE BEEPING OUT A SONG JUST IN YOUR HONOUR.

I'm in such a freaking bad mood it's not even funny. Boo-freaking-hoo.

Today I was in school, and now I'm home, and the photo is how I looked like today, on my way home. That's pretty much all there is, yes.

Congratulations.

What I'm doing today. Reading. Yes, very exciting. 2/9 down, and hopefully a third one today as well.

The checkered blanket is from Tanzania btw, it's so good because it's super light but still warms so well. I remember having it from the flight back Dar el Salaam to Zürich, as always freezing cold in the plane so without it I'd probably have come out as an ice cube. Good expression just coming back home from Africa.

Anyway, gotta keep on reading. English paper 2 and Swedish paper 1 next week, stay focused:)

YESTERDAY/TODAY

iPhone 4/Instagram

Yesterday: math exam, and it was good! Very happy it's over. Afterwards I chilled at school for a bit, then had Biology tutoring, then went to a friend's house watching them jam. I was planning on getting home quite early but we ended up crashing there instead, waking up at 2 today, soo nice. Photo 1 and 2 is from my way home (or actually, food shopping).

Later my dad, sister and I went to the new restaurant that just opened up like 50 meters from my house. Ph 3 is my sister, and in the background you can see the owner (if the hair is too long, read: Hell's Angels). Haha, guess how excited we were! 90% of the people there were of the same crowd too, and they were all super nice. Let's just hope it stays that way...

Ladies, I got a new phone! I know, isn't it amazing. The other one is gone, forever, someone definitely stole it and if I ever find out who I'm gonna kick them in the face. Seriously. I had so much amazing things on that phone.

Anyway. Exams are on, two days have gone by and quite a few of them are already finished actually.

Psych all went better than expected, Math was fine too, and English was alright. I kind of messed up it, but you know. What to do. Tomorrow I have Math paper 2, and then it's weekend thank God. I can't wait. I need sleep.

I actually might just go to sleep now. 19:25, way to go.

Don't forget to watch the documentary in previous post btw. It has five parts so remember to watch them all all all, they're really good. Also don't forget to keep your fingers crossed for me at 8:30 tomorrow, you know I won't make it through this exam without your help. Also, remember to remind me to not forget a calculator tomorrow. And you know. Recycle. Be nice to your fathers, clean up after yourselves, use a condom, whatever else there is that can't be forgotten.

That's all for now. Much love.

SORRY COULD YOU REPEAT THAT PLEASE?

Today I went to school in the morning. Worked on some math. Went to a math lesson. Ate lunch. Worked on some more math. Had biology tutoring. Was gonna work on some more math, but couldn't be bothered, so got on the tram home.

My biology tutor is the best, btw. I've been super incredibly confused/disorganized lately and both missed lessons and thought we had a lesson when we didn't and lalala. Today I was 35 minutes late (because I thought it started at 4 when it actually started at 3...), and instead of being mad she said it was all good and we had half an hour extra instead. Much much much love:) I mean, she even laughs at my lame jokes.

Tonight I'm gonna work on some psychology, and tomorrow probably math. Might pull an hello-yes-I-am-wearing-sweatpants-in-public and spend the day at the library. So much party!

Exams start in 2 days barambam.

Marbella in 22 days.
