Rollercoaster christmas


So christmas has now flown by with unimaginable speed and i must say that it has been quite the ride! I must therefore apologize for not having written in a while.

During the last days ive tried to keep my mind off of the fact that im leaving in just a few days... a number that now lies at 5.... freakin 5 DAYS! Now though i am really extatic about this trip i also thought it would be nice to have a few days to just focus on hanging out with friends and family and sink into the spirit of christmas. But with christmas ultimately fading away behind me and India moving with steady paste towards me i think it is about time to switch my mellow mindset in for a higher gear in order to be somewhat prepared for what lies ahead. But before i do that i thought i'd share with you one of the most spectacular of gifts i received for christmas:

An ASSAULT ALARM (aka a rape whistle).

Now i am usually fairly good at guessing what i would get for b-days and christmases but this was a gift that was highly unexpected... and all i could do was look at parents with a big smile on my face for they had completely and utterly taken gift surprises to a whole new level and for that i am completely grateful and i must say that after having tried it i really think it would work and scare away anyone that would try to assault or robb me because i was prepared for a loud noise but that thing can seriously put an end to hearing!

Now i must leave you as i have to discover the space within my backpack for future packing, but be sure i will be back with more on the buildup for my launch : )

Countdown: 5 DAYS

I am no juggeler of sorts

17 days and i think... too much!

I cannot help but wonder where all the time has gone since it was decided that i would go continent hopping... but then again it does not surprise me that it has seeing as i know myself well enough to say that i just work better under some sort of stress! I really am a last minute guy for better or for worse... but this time it feels like im in a tid bit too much over my head looking at the scale of things, not just because im leaving soon and i dont feel entirelly ready but beacause christmas is in 8 days followed by new years and i still havent bought all the christmas presents nor picked out all of the different programs that i want to apply to for the start of school next fall! and on top of that i am not entirely sure what i want to do with my life... though as i have been assured, it all supposedly works out along the way!

So as i sit at home with these various debacles spinning in the air, thinking of how to tackle them in the best possible way without having it come back at me, i realize that though these decision are of importance to me and are completely in control of my life at this time; they are not the end of the world type stuff! I mean i might not be the best juggeler of sorts but hey... sometimes you gotta take a few hits before you learn how to juggle and i guess for me... that time has finally come! BLOG OUT

My first time

So hey this is my first time writing on this blogg, and i wanted to welcome all of my future readers which will probably mostly consist of family and friends... though anyone is invited to join. Now my trip/ adventure does not start until january 2nd, but i have decided to get a head start seeing as the build up to this trip is very important and there is lots to be done before the sails on this ship goes up.
For example i have to figure out what i need to pack, as i will be on three different continents and there is the always the constant problem of money. So as you can see i have a lot to do! Now before i leave you here, i just wanted to let all of you who are wondering why this blog is in english know, that it is because this blog will not only be read by the awesomeness that is the swedish people but also the coolness of my american friends.
