Last day
Ellis is still sleeping. I just woke up ans felt sad, today is my last day here and tomorrow I'm going home. It feels so stupid to be sad since I know he's coming to Sweden in two weeks, but I just can't help it.
Anyway, today we're going to lunch in Bristol with his family. It's going to be a nice last day.

Saturday
It's Saturday already. Ellis took some time off from work on Thursday so we could stay home and watch movies when it was raining outside. On Friday we went to Taunton again, a small place pretty close to here. Ellis went to Specsavers and spontaneously got glasses. He was talking about getting them before uni, but since we were in town he decided to do it now.
Tomorrow is my last day here, and then I'm going home on Monday. I'm trying to think that Ellis is coming to Sweden in only two weeks, but it's not really working. Speaking of working, I should try to work extra as much as I can when I get home. I only have five shifts so far on these two weeks. I also told my boss that I'm gonna quit in August a couple of days ago, it feels good!
Ill manors
It's scary how fast time goes. It's already Thursday and I'm going home on Monday. Ellis went to work early today, so I decided to go out for a walk in the morning. The weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot, and I was out for more than two hours. When I came back I washed some clothes again (I can't believe how much we wash!), and now I'm just watching tv waiting for him to come home.
I'm also waiting for the University to e-mail me. I applied, got accepted, paid my registration fee and now I'm waiting for them to send me all the papers I need. It's crazy that I'm actually gonna study in London. I always wanted to study abroad but I was too scared earlier I guess. Now I feel like it's the right time.
Now I'm gonna change subject, because I really have to tell you about a movie we watched last night. It's an English movie, so horrible but still good. And I know a lot of my friends like movies about gangs and stuff, so I thought I'd tell you. It's called Ill manors, check it out! :)

My heart is melting.
Perfect Day
Long walk + ice cream + movies + yoga.
Perfect day.
PMS
Yesterday was an extremely bad PMS day. But why does that matter when you have an amazing boyfriend? He bought pizza, waffles and ice cream, and we ate in bed. He also watched 'Safe Haven' with me, which is another Nicholas Sparks love movie. PMS wasn't that bad anymore. <3
Monday
I'm halfway through my stay here. Next Monday this time I'll be on the bus to the airport in London. I don't like to think about it, but I always do anyway... At least I have a week left, usually I'm only here 7-10 days so this is my longest stay.
It's Monday and Ellis is working. I started my day with walking to Bridgwater and back, it took me a little more than two hours. I bought some magazines that I've just read. I also washed some clothes and cleaned the bathroom, just to kill time. Now it's only an hour until he's back home again!
Go ape
Today was the worst day of my life, and I wanted to die so many times. I've always been scared of heights and I could never imagine myself doing anything like this. I still feel so sick, but it's finally over!
Äiti!
Midsummer
In England they don't celebrate midsummer like we do in Sweden, but Ellis and I went for a little picnic anyway. We were in Taunton all day, walking in shops, and then we came back home and had dinner before we went out again. Today was a really nice day, and I enjoy every moment we have together. Now we're going to bed to watch a movie and then sleep, because he has to wake up really early for work tomorrow. My plan is to work out, go grocery shopping and make dinner. :)
Birthday!
Hello :)
Yesterday was his birthday and it was such a good day. Kate and I woke up early to finish the birthday cake and make pancakes. Then we woke him and his brother (who just moved back home after being at university) up, and we had a nice breakfast together. Ellis opened his presents and he got a lot of nice things. He really liked the things I gave him, finally I could breathe out!
After breakfast Ellis and I went for a bike ride. The weather was amazing and we were out for hours. It was really cosy, and on our way home we went to rent movies and buy ice cream. In the evening we went to yoga, and we have also decided that we're gonna go to yoga together once a week when we move to London. :)
I'm here
I don't have much time to be on here, but I just wanted to say that I'm here and everything is alright! I really enjoy spending time with my boy, I feel so good when I'm here. Tonight I'm spending the night with Ellis' mum and sister. Ellis is working and we're preparing a birthday cake for him. Tomorrow is the day!
Baklawa
Yesterday was a baklawa day. Sara and I went to shops and on our way home we bought baklawa. It was pretty expensive so we decided to just buy a little, but that little was more than enough. It's crazy how rich they are, we felt sick pretty fast.
Early morning
We have found an apartment! It's the smallest place ever, but it's an apartment. Ellis found it through his University and booked it yesterday. It feels so good to have a place, it makes it all a little more safe and a little more real. I also realised that I'm gonna have to work a lot this summer. I need to pay for the apartment, pay for my Swedish phone until February, buy a new English phone, pay a lot for insurance, buy my tickets and pay for extra bags... It feels like my saving account doesn't exist anymore, haha...
So, I'm gonna try to find a lot of extra shifts for July at work. I'm on my way there right now, and I heard they put up all schedules for the next four weeks, so I'm definitely gonna try to work extra the last two.
I've slept 3 hours... I'm so tired. But why sleep when you can work I guess :)
Lunch
I finally went out after spending a few hours in front of the tv. I walked for almost two hours, now I'm happy that I went out. My dad called me as soon as I was back home again, and we went for lunch. We used to have lunch almost every Friday, but now it has been more than a month since last time. It was nice anyway.
On my way home I met an old friend that I haven't seen for ages. We talked about how old we are getting and how we used to be when we were younger. Then she said 'you know that you have grown up when you no longer care about how many likes you get on instagram. When you don't use so many tags anymore.' Haha, she really made me laugh, but I guess she has a point.

Friday, Friday
The best thing about summer is that it isn't dark even if you wake up early. I had an alarm at seven and felt like dying when I had to wake up, but I felt like I needed this since I start work tomorrow at seven. I want to be able to sleep early tonight, since my alarm tomorrow is going to be at five. I don't mind though, I'm probably gonna need to wake up at half six on Sunday as well. Also, I prefer to work mornings. Or... The money is a lot better when I work nights, but the mornings are less stressful.
I'm trying to decide if I should go for a walk or not. I'm feeling cold and lazy, and the weather is pretty bad. But that's just excuses... I really should go, because I won't have time tomorrow. The day before England is always about packing and getting ready: using face mask, fixing my nails and eye brows, shaving legs and so on. I was telling this to girl the other day, and of course she started a conversation about how women shouldn't have to look good for their men.
Well, I think it's good to do all these things before I leave, because then I don't have to think about it for a while. Also, yes I want to look good. It's not like he wouldn't like me if I didn't do all these things, but I feel a lot better if I do. I'm so tired of girls telling me that I think all women are bitches, who are doing everything for their men. I think it's more about taking care of yourself for me. And if you want to have bad eye brows and hairy legs, that's up to you. I wouldn't complain :)
Anyway, I'm gonna try to go for that walk soon. Then I'm gonna spend the afternoon with my bestie.

Five things
Even though it's been raining all day, it has been a good day. Here are five things that made me happy:
1. Having a lazy morning! It was so nice to stay in bed until late and then do nothing all day. I needed this!
2. A girl on the train who said that my hair looked good. I mean, my hair is so thin... I'm always complaining about my hair.
3. Belly dance! It was so much fun and felt good. Now I'm sleepy...
4. Saying hello to people at work! They are so nice and we talked for a couple of minutes. Positive energy!
5. My boyfriend, he always makes me smile. <3
Belly dance
It was a dance Thursday, as good as always. I really like the teacher we had last time, and also this time. She wants details on everything which is good, it makes me become better. It's so sad that this was the last time, but maybe I can find somewhere else to dance during the summer. Yallah!

Creep!
I just have to tell you about the creepiest thing ever. I was out on a power walk today, and when I walk I usually choose places with not much people and no traffic. Anyway, I was walking alone and I was the only one there until I saw a guy on a bike. I recognized this guy from school, he is a year older than me but I never spoke to him or anything in school.
Anyway, he stopped his bike and started to look in his bag in front of me. I was listening to my ipod and just passed him. I guess he must have said something that I didn't hear, because a few seconds later he rode right in front of me and stopped me. I thought he needed help or something so I took my headphones off.
Creep: ayy, katarina! Nice to see you...
Me: .....?????..... Yeah.....
Creep: Do you remember me? We wen't to the same school, but you were like really emo at that time hahaha, you had black hair and stuff!
Me: Yeah I gue...
Creep: You look sooo good now! I mean really good. I guess this work out is the reason! I saw some belly dance pictures of you on facebook... You look so much better when you're blond! Hey listen, do you wanna hang out some day?
Me: ............ Are you serious?
I don't even remember what I said, but I left quickly. I'm not even friends with this guy on Facebook, this is creepy. And who does he think he is? Well, at least I didn't look good in school but it seems like my time is now according to you. And your time was never, will never be.
I'm actually upset.

I almost finished writing my exam, I just need to do a few changes in the morning. I hope I get to sleep a little better tonight, and that I feel a little better when I wake up. Otherwise I'm gonna have to see a doctor soon.
Oh, and thank you for all the 'get better soon' messages, texts and instagram things haha :) It really means a lot.

Blueberry
I'm supposed to go to that meeting at Blueberry, but I'm not sure if I should go when I'm feeling like this. I'm probably gonna scare them with my cold...
Last day
I can't believe it was my last day of school today. It actually feels a little sad since we have got to know each other so well. I'm so proud of myself, a few years ago I never thought that I would study English. I hated English, haha.
I was only in school for 15 minutes, did my presentation and got nice feedback from my class mates. I'm gonna miss you guys.
I'm still feeling as bad as yesterday. It was nice to actually get dressed and put makeup on today, even if it was just for a short time. I need to sleep now, then it's time for my last home exam.
Quotes
Grumpy cat
My nose is still making me crazy so I can't sleep. I'm feeling a little like grumpy cat.
I want you to rock me
They say that actions speak louder than words, and it really is true. Do you ever get tired of people just breaking their promises all the time? If you're a nice person it's hard to know where to draw the line and saying that it's enough.
At the same time I don't just want to focus on bad people. I have so many amazing friends so I shouldn't even care about those who don't deserve it.
Hmm, sleepy time soon.
