I'm not the girl you're taking home

This is what I looked like today. Green top from Gina (which I haven't had on since last year, or the year before that). Jeans from Gina. Triwa watch-campadre and a bracelet from SNÖ. and the necklace I'm wearing is very special to me. I got it from my little brother Joe on my 18th birthday and I've had it on ever since.



Just finished watching gossip girl, This was really a great episode where Chuck and Blair finally did what I've been wanting them to do all the time. Chuck's the man! Maybe he was a little too rough, but that must be the result of a long wait. Anywayss...
Our one and only (Swedish) Robyn gave a performance on Blair Waldorfs 20th birthday on Gossip Girl singing Hang With Me.



 

I met my mentor and we had a great time. It was really cosy and for once it was so nice to have someone to talk to about anything. Everything from serious futurplans to silly thoughts. What I like about her is that she really listens and gives the best answers she can. The fact that a grown up woman with family and children has very much in common with an 18-year old girl in highschool astonishes me. We didn't set up a date for the next get-together but it should be sometime by the end of this month. Maybe we could go bowling, visiting a museum, taking a drink, having dinner, visiting Christmas at Liseberg, Iceskating.. anything that involves a lot of fun and ofcourse some kind of inspiration to our conversations. I look forward to meeting her family sometime and having them over at our place so that my parents can feel better about me meeting with a "strange" woman. She's not that strange to me anymore.



Tommorow I'm going to try to wake up early and study. Around 12 o'clock a friends coming over and I'm going to have to remember all the chemistry I took last year and hopefully I'll be able to help him. At 17.00 I have my driving"theory" class. 
(Explanation for my foreign readers) Yes, it is very complicated here in Sweden to get a drivers license. First you have to take a course called risk 1 where they talk about alcohol, drugs and other things that could affect your driving. I've booked that course for 13/11. Then there is risk 2, where you have to manage t drive a car on ice. There's a special track for this test and all you have to do is follow the intructions, but in the end of this course you  will have to do the track as you think would be most suitable for the state of road. Theory test consists of 65-70 questions. (5 questions are eliminated- we call them testquestions) I'm not 100 % sure. But what I do know is that you have to get at least 52 points to pass the test. Now you can finally do the Driving test, you have to drive for 60 minutes following the examinators instructions and not make any mistakes while driving. The examinator may also ask you a few questions to see that you really got everything under control. When you pass these four tests you can finally get your Drivers license.

When I finish my class, my cousin Nancy and I have planned to work out together and then maybe do something more relaxing like watching tv or something nice together. I have missed her so much, but I haven't really had the time to call her and set something up. It's been so much lately. I can't wait until I graduate!!

I should go to sleep now in order to wake up early tomorrow.
