Little status update
I haven't found the time for writing too much in this blogg the last month. A quick summary is as follows:
Club championship in dancing. I competed in strictly boogie woogie, strictly lindy hop, jack'n jill bugg, strictly bugg and strictly foxtrot. A swing camp in Gothenburg, tons of fun and lots of friends to see again. A ball at the school, mostly drunken students, but the biggest ball at the year. Then a weekend of competition practice of lindy, but also a long trip to Umeå for some social dancing. Met many people I havent seen since last summer, so that was a lot of fun.
School is almost done. I've just finished the last important parts of my two last classes I am currently taking. So now I'm writing reports about it and prepare for the final presentation in 1½ week.
I had my 25th birthday last Tuesday, and I was overhelmed by how many who actually remembered me. I've never got so many Fbook messages, e-mails, phone calls/texts and congrats ever. When people I konw all over the world congratulates me, it feels fun even if I know it's "easy" to say hi even if I don't know them a lot.
This weekend the school (once a year) also had a ceremony and big ball kind of, to celebrate my (soon coming) master degree so my family came visited me and it was a Big Band playing in the night as well. Really fun to dance!! And the Diploma of course...
My parents also brought a trailer so I've spent most other time this weekend packing and cleaning out the apartment. I can hardly understand how I could collect so much junk during this (these) year(s). I only have clothes and silver basically left...
It's a bit weird moving out. For the first time in a very long time, I don''t even know where I'm gonna be in 1½ week, even if it's very probable I'm moving to Örnsköldsvik for a few weeks. Then I plan to visit Herräng for 3 or 4 weeks and hopefulle I've got the formalites set for my master thesis that I hopefulle am doing in Germany, so I can start with that in August. The Switzerland plans crashed last week but I've already got a position in München that I'm dealing with.
Another weird thing about moving is that it seems to be what is needed for people to tell me, that they like me or are gonna miss me. Or just say they appreciate hanging out with me. As long as you're as expected as any day, nobody bother to tell you any 'properties'. But I guess it's better to hear some nice things now, than no at all.
I somehow miss the american friendlyness, the Swedish mentality feels very much as a colder and not as friendly environment compared to what I epxerienced in the US. I hope Europe and Germany or some country down there can give me some more positive energy.
People ask me how I feel about moving, and the answer is - not a lot. I'm gonna miss the dancing and my dance friends here in Luleå. Especially my dance partner, but I'm not gonna miss the town or nature here a lot. Neither th school. It's an awesome school and lots of nice memories and activites, but I don't feel any problems at all leaving it, when I already has had so much fun and done so many things here. It's also my 3rd time in 3 years I'm breaking up from my life, and 5th time in 6 years, so I'm kind of used to it now. I would like to settle down a bit though, but not before I've found the correct place, if there is one.
There were some more things I planned to write about, but they fell out of my memory. We'll see what more to mention. It's been really cold the last week and it actually came some snow and hailstones that fast melted away.
Until we meet, take care!!
