Diary of a Swedish girl in Cali

Had a great weekend out, and Saturday was fun when Christina came up from LA and we had a fun and adventuros night out as usual.

This week is a little less busier than last week, but still no time for rest. Four weeks left till Hawaii. Can't wait.

Solsidan time now, and then sleep.

I have encountered some interesting people during my time so far in the U.S. Both for the good and for the bad. But life is a endless lesson. You learn something new everyday, and it's a hate-love feeling I have for it.

This spring is going to be amazing music wise. My all time favorites Radiohead is coming out with a new album finally! Have listened to some tracks, and it's promising. Their music always make me emotional. The Strokes...what can I say, I remeber bouncing around to "Someday" when I was younger, and since then I'm stuck. Too bad I'm  ot going to Coachella this year to see them.

Electro stage...well, looks like I'm going to EDC this summer again!! Had a blast last year.

I feel that I'm gonna talk about my private life a little. I'm a hopeless romantic...I think most of my friends can agree on that. I'm a romantic that loves to party and have fun. The guy I would fall for would be similar. Love to cook, party, sports/work out and enjoy chill movie nights. Someone that respects me. See little sister, this isn't easy, just like I told you. I want a serious relationship, but I don't hunt it. It has to come by itselves. Period.

So now after written something that looks like a love match add, I will sleep my beauty sleep and dream away. Who should I dream about...?

On his previous album it was a lot of wobbling going on which turned out to be a huge success. Although, now, it seems like he's taking his music more commercial. "Everyday" is a mix between brostep, euro disco and techno according to me. The drop is ok, but not like in Pro Nails or Woo Boost.

I think it's great that he collaborate with Britney Spears on her new album. That just shows that dubstep is growing in the music world, and that more people realize it's more than empty bass tones. It's art. Although, I hope he sticks to his original roots and continues to provide us with the sick beats and heavy drops.

Rusko-Everyday, link to his new single.

I realized though that I can't be so naive anymore and believe the best about people I meet and don't know. One of my jackets are M.I.A in SLO, and the person that I forgot it at seems to ignore the fact that I need it. Well, what can I say. I guess I won't see that again. But believe me, karma is a b*tch. Just some honesty seems to be a little too much for some.

Me and Ayumi are having a study sesh right now, listening to some awesome electromusic. Dirty South and Chuckie's sets from EDC last summer. Can't wait for this summer! I also realized I wanna work with music in the future. I just love it. Electro to rock. You name it. I'm super thrilled for The Strokes and Radioheads new albums. Gah!

The upcoming week is full om studying. Although, Friday is what makes me embrace the week. We are a group of awesome girls that are going to our friend Mark's birthday party in his house in Bev Hills. His parties are always awesome and as usual he will have a DJ spinning the records.

I try to figure out math. I get better, but I need a lot of help. Thank god i have Ayumi and my tutor Ian. What to do without them.

Had a stressfull day as usual during weekdays despite that I only have one class. But I don't waste my time, I need to study. When you're just gone for a night you miss out on a whole lot. I started to think about the future too...and I look on internships. My major is broadcast but since CC removed that class from campus I haven't gpt any real practice which sucks. I want it. Or I could work with publication like press releases and such...

This morning I didn't have time to eat because my bed was way too comfortable to leave in time. Instead I ate a sports bar and drank a rockstar. Not the best combo when you haven't ate anything. So here I am in the DAC lab to do some editing on a sugar rush. Not the most pleasant feeling. I'd rather have a rush of something else. No more rockstars for me, it has to be Monsters.

Tonight I will try to do some more reading in my Cinematography book. It's jus that it's so much info about stuff and stuff and stuff. I wanna say "cut" and take out a bunch of text in the book.

The weekend is coming up shortly. Again. Gah, time is just flying by. Off for 4 days which is nice. Gonna enjoy myself and hit the clubs downtown this weekend and have a looooong nice sleep in on friday. Miss that.

Went to SLO on Saturday with Michaela. Met a bunch of new people and they were all very cool. It was nice to breath some fresh air. Even though I love SB, it's nice to get out of town once in a while. Although it was with a melancholy feeling I was there. I left out from a shit load of HW and other things. Perhaps I should have prioritized differently. But I had a fun time up there, we got well taken care of and I'm glad that I went. It was an eye opener too. I know what I need to be focused on at this time of my life.

Someone told me I'm a sweetheart today. And yes, I guess I am. But sometimes I know it can hit me back. Anytime basically. I believe the best about everybody before I know them, and often they proof me wrong. But why should I be suspicious and not believe that before I know them? I am a happy girl that is very emotional too. I have times when I feel sad and starts thinking about the past. I can cry. But after I feel much better. I think it's important that you can express feelings, and to shred some tears is not wrong. It's a reliefer sometimes.

I didn't get any flowers or chocolat, but I got a nice dinner cooked by one of my roomies. Thank you David. I came home tired after a late class, and there were dinner served. Top Notch.

A hopeless romantic would probably describe me really well. I am. No matter how many times I've been hurt or whatever, I'm a big romantic. I guess some can handle it, some can't. I think I always will be the sweetheart. :)

What people don't know though is that I am not the best girl in the world. There was a time when I could be a bitch. But then I realized, why waste my energy to be a bitch? It's just frustrating.

So today is Valentines Day. I don't have a Valentine, but I am god damn happy anyway. I have friends and family that loves me, and they deserve my love. Next year I might not have a Valentine either, but who cares when I have my friends and family.

Sitter och äter polarbröd med herrgårdsost på. Ni anar inte hur gott det är med svenskt bröd och framför allt OST efter att inte ha ätit det på över 1 år. Ja, så är det faktiskt. Jag har inte ätit svensk ost på evigheter.

Det är måndag idag igen och det är strålande sol. Jag älskar, älskar Kalifornien.

Idag är det en sådan där busy dag med lektioner typ hela dagen tills ikväll kl kvart i 9. Pew. Men det är ganska ok klasser så dagen går ganska fort.

Men nu måste jag skynda mig!

Värmen har kommit tillbaka till Santa Barbara, äntligen. Idag var det runt 24-25 grader under dagen, och nu ikväll har det varit så där skönt ljummet. Precis som det ska vara varma sommardagar.

Tredje skolaveckan av denna terminen börjar imon, och tiden bara flyger iväg. Jag vet inte hur det går så fort, men det känns som att jag har gått i skolan jättelänge trots att det bara är 2 veckor. Konstigt.

Det är många saker som händer nu, jag har ett stort projekt på gång för skoltidningen, kan tyvärr inte avslöja något än men jag hoppas och tror att det kommer bli något riktigt bra. Spännande!

Om lite mer än 1 månad är det journalistkonferens i Sacramento, denna gången är det hela Kalifornien. Ni kommer kanske ihåg att jag var iväg i höstas till Fullerton på samma grej, fast då var det endast regionen. Jag vet inte om jag kan/får följa med än, för det är begränsat antal platser plus att det är en hel helg och det kan krocka med andra saker. Sen kostar det pengar också. Men vi får se!

Jag kom hem från Johan, Pontus och Ola för en stund sen. Johan kollade igenom min artikel sen blev det Solsidan. Jag fick höra lite skvaller av Johan, och jag skrattade ihjäl mig åt sen sak som jag låter vara osagt. Men om man vill ha reda på saker, fråga Johan! :) haha Johan, du är den nya Perez Hilton.

Jag avslutar kvällen med några sidor Cinematography läsning. 47 dagar kvar till Hawaii. Nedräkningen har börjat.

Jag, Briitta och David var på IKEA på dagen. Det var roligt som vanligt. Köpte ett nytt lakan, bröd och Herrgårdsost!

När de flesta ikväll är ute och roar sig har jag en hemmakväll av artikel skrivande. Har en deadline på en profil tills tidig måndag morgon och tänkte bli klar, eller nästan klar med den idag!

Åh vad jag njuter av livet just nu! Allt är verkligen toppen efter några dagar av mindre toppen...men jag känner mig så himla glad och tillfreds med livet just nu.

Jag har världens bästa mattelärare, och för första gången på länge så känner jag mig inte helt tappad bakom en vagn när jag sitter i klassrummet. Tvärtom så känner jag att jag hänger med och det går bra på alla quiz. Matte är nämligen något jag inte är världsbäst på, och jag är alltid nervös inför matteprov och jag mår dåligt innan jag ska göra prov för jag har inte så bra självförtroende när det gäller matte. Men det känns som att det kan bli ändring på det denna terminen, för den läraren jag har nu förklarar verkligen allting så himla bra.

Det planeras Hawaii till Spring Break, och det verkar som att vi kommer boka denna veckan! Jag, Ian, Andy och Michaela ska åka iväg och vi ska göra massa grejor på en vecka! Besöka alla local spots, surfa, hoppa från klippor, besöka Pearl Harbor, och massa annat roligt. Jag är så taggad!! Detta kommer vara min morot fram tills Spring Break och den veckan vi är där kommer jag bara ha semester. Ska bli så skönt.

Motivationen ligger verkligen på topp nu, ser verkligen fram emot denna våren!

Förra helgen var jag iväg en dag och träffade William i Laguna Beach som är och hälsar på från Sverige. Hans pappa bor i Laguna så vi hade en heldag där och i Newport Beach!
