just been looking through old pictures, getting into the holiday spirit with some christmas music, and i just really really fancy baking some gingerbread cookies, and drinking glögg. christmas in råsunda was so traditional, can’t wait to invade emmelie’s home next year

the best part about coming home? getting undressed and just throwing whatever you want wherever you want.

went out for a quick meal at vapiano. aaah, let’s just say i won’t be going back there on a friday night anytime soon. crowded, loud, and hot. not what i was wanting. plus my food was pretty rubbish. so there’s another ten quid down the drain.

god don’t even want to think about it anymore, such a waste. 

last week.. i think? courtney and i went out for a few drinks here in camden. started at wetherspoons and then went to lock 17.

finally rounded off the night in the spread eagle and i walked home. gotta love being so close to home sometimes!

figured i’d give you lot a bit of a peek into my new flat and whatnot…

the above is my view out of the window towards mornington crescent station

my bed and the two nightstands i’ve now got

my bookshelf, my jewellery, and my other random bits

if all goes through as planned with the contracts and down payment, this shall be my flat when i get back to london from sweden..

a lovely little studio flat on camden high street! smaller than what i’ve got now, but much newer and cleaner.

just paid rent, and just had to think to myself how lucky i am. lucky i’ve got such supportive parents. lucky i’ve got the privilege to live and study in london. lucky to have lived the last 10 months in marylebone.

i love my flat. i wish it was different in some aspects, but looking at moving makes me appreciate how great it’s been to live here. lucky to have been where i have been. lucky to be coming home to this.

i don’t want to leave marylebone, i don’t want to downgrade. i’m being a spoiled brat i know, but you can’t blame me. if you were in my situation you’d understand as well.

it’s been a luxury living here, and i’m so lucky that my parents have been willing to put up for the rent.

so thank you mamma and pappa, words can’t describe how happy it’s made me. how much of a convenience and luxury it’s been! to grateful i have you two.

back to real life it is then i suppose. lectures. cooking. money issues. but you’ve got to focus on the good, i had a lovely lovely time in paris and hopefully that’ll help me get through the next couple of weeks.

wont be exiting through this door today…

in england they have pancakes today, and in sweden we eat semlor. i’m having neither.

but what i wouldn’t give to be in sweden, i remember when leif bought some and brought them home for like a week straight, me and emmelie loved it!

they’re super yummy! hopefully next year i’ll get to taste one again.

went to a pub in angel with courtney, irish, alex, and grace last night. was gonna get the last tube home but… nope. ended up wandering about london looking for buses and it only took my two hours to get home.

kind of a sour ending to a good night! was nice just being out and about in new places with new faces.

went over to one of my mother’s friends home on monday night. played some pool, i still kind of suck. drank some wine. and enjoyed the good company. it was fun, her husband had old vinyl records so we listened to some good music as well!
