I had to check the calendar a couple of times to make sure it was Friday. That's how confused I am about days in exam season - especially because I have a 3-hour exam tomorrow, on a Saturday (PLUS an oral exam).
You guys got me kind of worried this week, hope everything's okay! Karena, I'm so sorry about your dog, your blog made my eyes wet and whatever you and your family chooses to do will be the right decision. I also believe that after death we will go wherever we believe we go. It might sound naïve, but what the heck haha. I wrote an essay las week, the subject was form "Hávamál" which is called in English (according to Wikipedia) "Sayings of the high one" that is Odin (Óðinn) - a god from old norse mythology. The subject was:
Deyr fé,
deyja frændur,
deyr sjálfur ið sama.
En orðstír
deyr aldregi
hveim er góðan getur.
It's translated:
Cattle die,
kinsmen die
the self must also die;
I know one thing
which never dies:
the reputation of each dead man.
Also, Marwa, I hope you're okay and I know it sometimes helps talking about it. You're welcome to talk to me (email/skype/whatever) whenever you want, I'm an okay listener. Anyways, just take care of yourself.
I also hope (wow, many "I hope"s in this post) that Sarah and Stephanie forgot because they were having too much fun with their lives rather than having a crappy week like the rest of us!
But lets not drown ourselves in sadness and melancholy. Currently I'm putting together playlist for my birthday party. Procrastinating. That's fun. I had oral English exam today, it went great! I didn't expect it but I drew an awesome short story and a good poem to interpret/explain. I can't wait to start reading again, something not obligatory. I'm making a list of literature to read and paintings to paint.
I got a graduation dress. It's light blue. Had someone told me when I was, say, 15 I'd be graduating in a light blue dress, blue tights with blonde hair I'd laugh. I was a darker character when I was younger, I think I was friendly even though my friends I met when I started college thought I was some hardcore chick when they first saw me. I love speaking with them about our first impression of each other, I supposedly was (according to them) too cool for them (what the fuck? haha!) and they thought I was way more hardcore than I was (am). They were the opposites, I really misjudged them, I thought they were mean and unfriendly. They aren't mean and they're friendly (not super inviting, but very nice and I love them). My first year of college I sat on a table with a girl with dreads (I recognized her from my old school) and then I only hung out with two guys, who were obvious metalheads with longer hair than mine. I just realized how I (and the people around me) judged much from appearance in the olden days. It grows off I think (mostly), kids are the worst.
