I wish

.. It soon were summer! I mean, damn, can the time snail along any slower?
And the worst part is the fact that you finally begin to get your hopes up when the sun starts shining .. And then the next day it's frosty and foggy. Totally depressing!

Tomorrow I have a long day at school, followed by work .. That means I won't eat, relax or have time to think straight between 07:30 and .. probably 17:00 tomorrow. I'll die, fo sho. And now I just remembered I have a huge social studies report due thursday .. Will I even have time to sleep tomorrow night? Stresssssss ..
And the best part? It's gym class in the very last lesson tomorrow, when my brain - along with the rest of my body - will have stopped functioning .. With my luck it will probably be something like football or dodgeball .. And I HATE those kind of sports. I have this phobia, being deadly afraid of balls .. Footballs and basketballs mainly .. They're the hard and heavy ones .. I think the reason is that my head has always been a ball-magnet. I can't even count how many times I've taken a football to the head. Even though I'm always the one avoiding it, it somehow finds me.
I clearly remember last year at Oure, we were split into teams and had to do different activities. When we got to football, I told my team that I would sit it out, since I would do absolutely no good. Then I sat all the way at the top of the tribune, farthest away from the game, and what happens? I see the ball coming straight for me, and .. well, the rest speaks for itself. So much for avoiding it.

I really can't wait till it's weekend. My boyfriend is coming on friday, and I really just wish I could fast forward to then. But I can't, so I'll have to try to survive the rest of this stupid week. Right now I'm just focusing on getting through tomorrow ..

We are the best, so screw the rest!

Aah, finally weekend! I've been longing for this since sunday evening. I knew it was going to be a long week, and I wasn't wrong. Even though this has been a pretty good week, with some nice high grades (I just got another 12 today!), it's been tough. Especially because I work every single day. I really miss going home to relax after a really long day at school. Now I have to go directly to work.

But tomorrow I finally get a chance to sleep in .. If I'm lucky. I'm getting new windows in my bedroom and bathroom tomorrow, so I might be woken up by a draft from the window .. well, not being there. That would result in a very bitchy Katy, so I hope not ..

Anyway, I just saw a really funny movie - St. Trinians. I was just sooo bored, so after work I went along to Blockbuster and rented it. And now I'm totally glad I did.

It's about an all-girl boardingschool in England, which is completely out of control. Even the head mistress (which is played by a dude), is a slutty alcoholic. And all the sixth-form schoolgirls wear short miniskirts, CFM shoes, lace stockings with suspenderbelts and look a tiny bit skanky. But that just contributes to the whole storyline. Anyway, they make vodka in their chemistry lab (which they sell under the name Trinski Vodka), have the lowest grade point average in the country, and pretty much do what they wan't all day .. oh, and drink/supposedly take drugs, even though you don't see this .. The plot is something about stealing a famous painting to get some money so the school won't be closed. Not the most exciting plot. But it's still a really funny movie. A bit weird and silly at times, but pretty good.

As for tonight - and probably the rest of the weekend - I will be doing nothing at all. Just maybe watch a few movies, relax, sleep in and do some homework. I'm pretty much just looking forward to next weekend, when my boyfriend is coming ..
Besides, nothing much is going on tonight. Right now I feel like going out though, but most of my friends (those under 18), are staying in as well. Tonight you have to be 18 or 21 to get in most places, and they are very strict, checking ID and all, so my friends and I didn't want to bother. Whats the point of using such a long time on getting ready to go out, etc., when you know you won't be let into the clubs.
Sucks not being 18 sometimes!

Buenos días Dinamarca

And what a good morning it is .. I got my danish report back - all good comments, I just got one of the best scores in the class in our physical fitness test, I'm finished with school now, and - the cherry on the cake - the sun is shining!! I literally couldn't keep myself from smiling just a tiny bit when I was walking home. Suuuuun .. I've missed it so much.
And this has nothing to do with today, but yesterday I got my social studies report back, and I had got 12 .. That meant so much, since I really like social studies. And it's really nice to know that I can get top marks even when it's on A-levels. It feels good to finally get some good grades again.

And with that said, I am now going to have a well-deserved shower (not that the PF test was tough or anything!!), and then relax a bit .. Damn, I just remembered .. I have a job, so I have to go to work later. That sucks a little.

When all else fails

What do you do when the cold and harsh winter is taking away your ability to be happy? ..
Honestly, I don't have the answer. I have absolutely no idea. I keep thinking "It's gonna get better next week" .. And next week, and next week. But many weeks have passed, and all I can think about is summer. I can't wait. And all I can do in the mean time is dream of warmer places and better times. I wish I had the money and time to go to Hawaii or Miami or something. Right now. Just go to the airport and ask for a ticket for the next plane to somewhere tropical, sunny and fabulous. Gaaah .. Stupid winter.

And what's even worse is that I can't console myself by eating lots of my precious Cadbury's chocolate, or go on comfort-shoppingsprees every day .. I don't have the metabolism or millions on my bankaccount :( .
I actually recently heard in the news that it's a really bad idea to diet and exercise loads in these winter months, because it increases the chance of winterdepression by like, 10000000000% .. Or something like that. But as far as I can guess, it doesn't help to stuff your face and gain lots of weight either.

I really wish I had something positive to say, but I can't think of anything right this minute ..
Apart from the two really great weekends I spent with my boyfriend in the winterholiday. And I guess it wasn't too bad going to England. A week was just a bit too long.

So when all else fails? .. Stay tuned.

Paris Hiltons British Best Friend

I watched the entire season of Paris Hilton's My New BFF - and now I've started watching Paris Hiltons British Best Friend. Supposedly they had to change the name because the expression "BFF" is pretty unknown in Britain.
I must admit, the american version was a lot better and funnier. I don't know why, but I just can't take people with that really, really british accent seriously. It sounds so corny. But if she decides to make a season here in Denmark (Paris Hiltons Danish Best Friend?), I'm in - fo sho.

I don't really have much to say, but I was really bored, so I decided to blog a bit .. When I think about it, I actually write here a lot .. Like, really often. But it's rare that I publish the things I write. It's always my intension to publish when I start writing, but sometimes I just don't feel like putting some of the stuff I write out onto the internet where everybody can find it. I know that very few people actually read what I write, but still, everybody is capable of finding it if they want. I would actually prefer that very few - or nobody - read what I write. I pretty much just blog for me .. Just to put frustration, happiness or anger into words. Sometimes it's enough just to know that it's out there. You don't have to talk to anybody about it, just write it down where somebody is ABLE to see it if they happen to find it.
I guess it's because that it's so hard to talk about it sometimes. You don't want to bother others with your insignificant issues and such.
Oh my god .. Did my blog just become my new BFF?

Aaanyway .. I'm looking forward to coming home again, and seeing my boyfriend and my friends. One of the only things I'm going to miss is the english supermarkets. They are like heaven on earth .. seriously. But maybe it's a bit lucky that we don't have all of that food in Denmark. I would get sooo fat. I'm sure I've even gained weight just from being here a few days .. My grandmother stuffs me with food, and gets really disappointed if I don't eat it. But luckily I can still fit my new size 6 high/middlewaisted skirt. So it can't be that bad .. I mean, size 6 is the smallest size in stores. But I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of days 'till I'm a size 16!
Speaking of my new skirt .. I've been shopping. And I really love my new clothes (go figure) .. I think my best buy is the new pair of shoes I bought a few days ago. They are high-heeled gladiator style shoes. One of the big trends this spring. Other than that I've bought a few other things .. And then lots of candy!! .. Cadburys chocolate .. Mmmmmmmm ...

England

I'm sitting here in my grandmothers apartment, wishing the time could go by just a little bit faster. I must admit that it's nice enough to be back here again, and to see the english part of the family again, after two years. But I'm just so bored. I got here yesterday evening, after a scary landing in a snowstorm at Manchester airport, and the first thing I did was connect my computer to the wireless internet connection. The last place my grandmother lived, she didn't have a computer or internet or anything, so I was completely isolated from the outside world every time I visited. Now I can at least spend my time on my beloved laptop, reading blogs or seeing what people are up to on Facebook (in a non-stalkerish way).
Today my mother and I went down to the center of Blackburn and shopped for a few hours. There is this quite nice mall with shops like Topshop, Boots (has EVERYTHING from medicine to make-up and hairproducts) .. and .. well, Debenhams, WHSmiths etc. Not the most fabulous shops .. But they'll do.

Even though I could think of much better things to do than spend my time in the UK, I'm just happy that it's finally holiday. The last two weeks have especially been tough. We've had so many reports due, and generally a lot of homework. But last week was a bit easier, because I had the weekend with my boyfriend, who I now have been together with for half a year, to look forward to. And with good reason. It's been an incredible weekend .. And I wish I could turn back time and re-experience it. And then again, that's how I feel about all weekends with him.
We also went out to dinner on saturday, to this sushi restaurant .. And it was like .. heaven. I've never tasted such good sushi. Definitely a place to go again (:

It's quite funny how most english houses look the same. There are bungalows, and then there are the townhouse "blocks". Those are the most common. I think I would be walking around looking for my house for ages if I lived here. First of all the signs are difficult to figure out, and second of all the houses are all over. The same ones. It would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I think so, at least. They also all have this "wall" og windows that curves out, kind of like a closed balcony. That's what really characterizes them. And that's where I'm sitting right now, blinded by the surprisingly yellow streetlights, wondering how I'm going to make these next 5 days fly on by .. I can start by going to bed now, I guess. That always makes time fly :b

Goodnight England .. And Denmark.
