Friday Study Night

Yeah, a study night on a Friday doesn't exactly sound sexy, but I don't really have a choice. Maybe I'm going to watch a movie afterwards, as a treat...

My Grades Are Going Down the Drain

Yup. I'm screwed. Goodbye social life for the upcoming week, I've got two tests to ace if I want to make it through this semester. F***

FML If My Nails Ain't Nice

I was seriously about to have a mental breakdown yesterday that I wasn't wearing any nail polish. Thing is, I set high value on having pretty, feminine and well-manicured hands. Hands say so much about a person's character. Anyway, it's something I'm extremely fussy about. My day was basically ruined for me because of my hands looking ugly. 

How Much Can Change In Half A Year

I found some pictures of me that are precisely six months old, taken 10 June 2011...

And here, the Charlotte as we know her nowadays...

It's scary how much has changed during that time. And now I'm not only talking about my hair color and my make up. This last half year has taught me that you definitely can't predict what the future holds, no matter how many plans you're making.

Weekend!

Weekend again?! It feels as if it was Sunday already yesterday. Jeez, time flew this week. I promised my mom that I would help her bake some Swedish Christmas pastries tomorrow, and then perhaps a friend of mine's coming for a sleepover in the evening.
I've finally got money again, which feels relieving, since I've always been short on it lately (Charlotte, get a job!), so now I'm thinking if I should go into town tomorrow and buy a Christmas present for my parents... but I'm sort of too lazy having to take the 45min ride with the train, so we'll see. I'm spontaneous.

Stockholm Was Nice!

As previously already mentioned, I was in Stockholm only just over the weekend. It was so nice to be back, although I was a little disappointed that there hadn't been any snow yet. I met my cousin, my uncle, my grandparents and my godmother, which was so lovely. My godmother has an apartment right in the center of the city now, and she insists on that I come and visit her more often, which I with pleasure would like to do.
Ah, there's nothing that feels better than coming home to your home country, where people look similar to you and speak your language.

This is where I used to live when I still was living in Sweden. Isn't it cute.

I Want A Stradivari!

It would be so lovely to own a violin that was built by Antonio Stradivari, the best violin maker in the world (he's been dead for over 250 years now though, haha!). Yeah, well, keep on dreaming, Charlotte.

I think I read somewhere that there are only 650 still existing violins built by him today. The one on the picture, The Lady Tennant Stradivarius, costs 2 million dollars!

No, to be honest, I'd rather have a Steinway grand piano than a Stradivari.
