Christmas Trees...America vs. Sweden
From Scotland Bound, 3 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Fredrik and I have been...umm...debating what kind of Christmas tree we'll have when we celebrate our first Christmas together (instead of on separate continents which is lame.) But he says we must have a 'Swedish' Christmas Tree. (aka none of what makes my christmas tree awesome. Personal memory filled ornaments dating from up to 50 years ago, colorful lights that fill a room with warmth and color (personally I find this to be a desirable aspect to the tree, especially if we're in Sweden the...

Foggy day in Linköping
From Scotland Bound, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
So a few things of note this morning.1. My boyfriend is really hungover, and it's a little funny...even though I feel bad he left his wallet here and can't get into his office. Looks like I'll be making a trip to campus here ina few minutes.2. He's actually very brilliant. The housing company decided that 7am till 11am was a great time to redo the floor in the common room...meaning no on was allowed into the room for that amount of time...meaning...how are you supposed to eat breakfast (I guess...

'tis the season'

I've had a little laugh from facebook today, and I wish to share it with you all.Backstory: It seems, that across major cities and college campuses throughout the United States there has been this ongoing trend of fall/winter wear worn by women. It consists of a few basic pieces, but is still costly to put together.1. White T-shirt usually oversized and preferably the v neck Hanes you buy from your local superstore (Target of course being the fashionista's choice). This, is the best piece...

Sweden likes and dislikes after 1.5 weeks.
From Scotland Bound, 5 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Alright, I've been in Sweden now for about 1.5 weeks and I've realized a couple things that are absolutely stupid about Sweden.1. This whole 'dual' duvet for big beds. I went to Ikea with Fredrik this weekend, and I saw 1 duvet that fit a larger bed. What the hell is up with this 2 duvet thing' I'm sorry, I know you Swedes are used to it, but really...but 1. Why buy 2 and deal with 2, and wash 2, have to find 2, match 2, where you could buy...1. Single. Solitary duvet and duvet cover. For being...

Hey what's up Linköping'
From Scotland Bound, 5 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I've successfully made it Linköping Sweden for a few days now, and am starting to get a bit relaxed for my temporary resting place. I've been a bit sick, but I think it's just a cold/allergy/sinus mess I got from weather changing and Fredrik having a touch of something when I got here.so far so good. I like Sweden very much on a shallow level. The inner workings of the gov't and all that jazz isn't what I'm about at the moment. I'm just a tourist right now enjoying hanging out with my boyfriend...

It was exactly one year ago that I had just finished packing for Glasgow and was trying to calm my nerves before leaving September 9th for Glasgow with my mom.Today, one year later. I am not nervous, but ready for the next leg of the adventure known as my life. Tomorrow evening I will be leaving Glasgow for Sweden to spend the fall with Fredrik. That time last year, I was in the air on my way to Glasgow.How amazing this year has been. How life changing.More to post later. Too much cleaning to...
