Bonding with new friends, getting back into a workout routine, meeting my childhood IDOL and new blog layout

So as per usual, I have been superdupermega busy.

This past week has consisted of work, hanging with my usual crazy, amazing, wonderful group of friends (NOOR COME BACK FROM France!! I miss you, you rascal) and some school work.

One of the downsides of making friends with people who are here as exchange students/on a short term project with their job is that they always leave and go back to their home countries.. Bassel is going back to Canada on FRIDAY *sad face*. I wish I had met him earlier, but he said he'd try to come back for my birthday in October. Now I do have a reason to go to Canada though (I've never been before) HEHE.

Last week I had a nice catch up with my friend Alice, I don't even remember when I saw her last. I guess that's what happens when people start university/college. It's hard to keep up sometimes! We walked around town and I got to meet Marie Serneholt (who used to be a part of the Swedish popband A-teens, and I was a hhhuuuuugggeeeeeee A-teens fan as a kid. My dad filmed them for the Swedish MTV and even got my A-teens record signed by the band. At the time that was the best thing that ever happened to me). She was there to launch her fragrance(s) and was so absolutely beautiful and friendly! Alice and I also went for coffee and just talked, it was really nice and every time we meet up we keep saying we must get so much better and staying in touch and meeting up, but it never happens.. :(

                                      With the beautiful Marie Serneholt!


This week I'm going to try to focus more on school work and other necessary things I need to do to get my life on track, but that I'm an expert at postponing.. (if there was a branch for procrastination in the Olympics I would win every single gold medal!). I'm a very anxious person, so I postpone a lot of things, which in turn gives me MORE anxiety. It's a vicious cycle and one that needs to be broken...

I desperately need to travel. I have three trips planned for this year.. Haven't booked any yet, but I'm hoping I can work and save money and just take off. My friend Fabian told me I should travel by myself because it would take me out of my comfort zone and might help to conquer my anxiety.. Just the thought gives me a minor panic attack, but I think I am going to next year...

I hope everyone is well and that you had a great weekend, mine was ok.. :)
