Blog Everyday in August #3 - A bit about school

Here we go, it's just the third of August, and I have already missed a day. I apologize, and if I feel like it I'll make it up to you by blogging in September, but we'll see how much I have to deal with in school. IB doesn't really give you time to rest on the last year. At all.

Is it strange that I look forward to starting school again? I think it's the fact that it is actually my last year, that makes it so exciting. I'll be graduating next year. Graduating. I'm turning 18 in just a few weeks. I'm flabbergasted. But that isn't actually what I was going to talk about.

I'm now about to start my last year of IB. Since we in Sweden have a very different school system for the ones IB is based on, we got an extra. This is also because Swedish "gymnasium" is three years, and the B diploma programme is only two. But it is also very good, because Ib has a very high tempo and demands a lot from its students. It means that you can decide to leave the school, and star another program that suits you better.
Frankly, I just like to complain about doing three years of IB.

But I do miss it. Sure, this is the last and most demanding year, but I think if I just put more effort in it, it will go quite well. Sure, we have a lot of stuff to do, things I haven't actually started yet, but I like it. I really do. I like learning in general. Just finding things out, things I never though I would know.

Take history, for example. I love history, for it explains how the world looks today. It's so important to look back, to understand, and to refrain from repeating some things. Looking at old alliances and enemies, gives you a take on why the world looks the way it does today. And I think it is simply fascinating.

Then Biology. I never thought I'd know the things I do, never. But it is, for lack of words, awesome.

The fact that I now have amazing friends isn't all that bad either.

As a matter of fact, it's quite a difference from how it used to be. I didn't really have that many friends two years ago. The people I went to school with, I knew, and I spent time with them IN school, but we weren't friends. We didn't invite each other out after school.

Now it's different. And as someone who has gone through the experiment of having no friends, they do mean a lot to me.

As crazy as they are.

So, yes, school. Only 21 days left, and I still have time for two trips before it starts. First I'll be off to Oslo, to see a friend. We'll be going to the Harry and the Potter show as well. Be sure to check my channel, for Ingvild and I will be crazy and making videos.

Then, on the 16th, I'll be going to London again, and I am looking forward to seeing lovely Lucy again.

I think that was it for now. I promised Ingvild to vlog today, and I shall, as soon as the sun goes up anyway. If you're interested, it will be upload here.

Random thing of the day: I just made way too many pancakes, and I have to say... I am becoming quite an excellent pancake cook.

Blog everyday August #1 - Nothing to say

So, my first post here in August didn't really turn out the way I wanted it to. First of all... It's no longer the first here in Sweden. Second of all.. I honestly don't have anything to say. This, of course, is so easily fixed.

Blogspot doesn't even acknowledge that I am living in Sweden, and will be posting this on the first. Technically. I like technically. So, hello past. It's nice to meet you. Again.

Second, I always say I have nothing to write about then and then thousand words later I've bored you to death. It's quite fascinating really, this habit of mine. And something I must work on.

So, I am here writing again, so soon after my last post, because of Becky. She said she was doing Blog Everyday August, and I kind of wanted to join in. And here I am. Writing. Blabbing away. Type, type, type.
This is going to be an excellent month.

I honestly don't have anything important to mention, so I am simply going to tell you random things. Like for example, today my friend virtually yelled at me (again) for not having seen The Dark Knight. As I am both a movie nerd and a comics nerd, this astonishes me as well. Also, Heath Ledger? As the Joker? One of my favorite villains ever? Yes. I am amazed.
But this means I need to go into the city and get myself a dvd.

This, is annoying.

Mostly I think it's because I won't actually get there. If I don't HAVE to be anywhere, it is not very likely that I will actually get dressed. When I'm home alone and free, I basically only go outside to walk the dog. Walking the dog clothes, are not actually proper out in public clothes.
Not at all.

Of course, I have to now. Otherwise she'll yell at me for real when I see her.
That was all for this first post. Told you I didn't have anything to say.

London countdown: 14 days.
