Well, here we are again... As always, a lot of things have happened since last I took the time to scribble down a few words here. Where should I start?? Too much to remember it all I suppose. They're not likely to pop up in chronological order this time, but here goes.
For starters I've gotten a raise, wich I'm very proud of! My very first one!! I have to say that being a season worker isn't half bad at all. We seem to have nearly all the benefits the regulars have and are treated equally. Well... At least I am. Can't claim that I know for a fact it's the same at Wämö, but let's hope it is! I really like my job. I like my co-workers, I really couldn't ask for better colleagues. I like the pay check that omes with the mail each month. To sum it up, it's all good.
A few weeks ago a got an offer to go to Spain for eleven days with someone I barely know. I'm always such a coward, but this time... THIS TIME I didn't bail out. And there are absolutely no regrets what so ever! I had a blast, even though I "retreated from enemy ground" from time to time to gather my thoughts. It's not easy spending 24/7 with a lot of people when you're used to living on you own. It was quite the trial for me. Well, besides from that, I had the best time ever. We lived in a small village in the north of Spain, Pineda de Mar, about 100km from the French border, right by the Mediterranean. Had about a hundred meters down to the beach that stretched for mile and miles. Soooo beautiful! We visited quite a few places, Girona, Figueres, Blanes and Barcelona, among others. Barcelona was by far my favourite (even though Blanes probably has the most gorgeous settings I've ever seen). There was so much to see in the big city. First time in B we went on a tourist bus wich took us to the major attractions. We started off with La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's (according to me) masterpiece. I have never seen anything like it. Such an amazing building! So unique and beautiful, but yet so provocative and unconventional. After reading every single line about Antoni Gaudí and his work it was chrystal clear. To me, the man was a genius, a true genius!! We then went to Güell Parc wich also contains a lot of Gaudí's work. We then passed through the olympic village and La Diagonal. We passed the huge fotball stadium (wich we later visited) and back to Placa Catalanya where we started. We then strolled along Las Ramblas, fearing every second that a pick pocket will cross your path. The entire Ramblas was filled with living statues and people selling things. Anyway, we passed through it, down to the dock, Port Vell. We went to a huge aquarium and the second time we went for a shoppingstroll and the went to an I-max studio. Well that was just a little about the visit to Spain, I won't bore you with further details. The bottom line is that this trip awoke something inside me. A need, an urge... Let's just say I've already started thinking about the next trip. Or to be more accurate, the upcoming tripS. Got "invited" by Pierre to come to Brussels and I asked Christian about it, and if things go as I hope they will, I'll be going to Belgium in a few months =) I also started doing some research for my backpacking trip. I've become a true dreamer!
I have to say I've changed these past few months. I've changed for the better. Can't put my finger on exactly what has changed, but I feel different. Stronger, more harmonized. In love with life. I've started to allow thing to fill up my sences completely. It lets me connect with sides of my yet fairly unexplored. Looking forward to getting to know myself better!! The truth is, I'm a really great girl, I've started to realise that and it feels good. GOOOO ME!!!!!!
This weekend Rickard is coming. You know how I seldom miss people, but I've actually missed hanging out a bit with him. Him and Emelie of course. I got so happy I nearly jumped, when I learned Emelie was going to Lund instead of Umeå. For the first time in over six years, my Memla is living close enough for me to see her more than once a year!!! Wohooooo!! Hugs and kisses for you Sweetie! Love you!!
Nah, think it's time to retire for the night. The faster I go to sleep, the faster it's a new day and the faster it's a new day, the faster it's Friday, and that means the weekend is nearly there wich means NO WORK!!! Nighty night!! =)
