I J U S T H A V E S O M U C H T O D O ! !

.. so is the reason for my absence spelled!

Honestly, I wish I could say I’m busy from school, but it’s really been about me having  fun. Have had a lot of visitors lately, that and school, has taken all my time.

For you who reads Swedish, I’ve written another post on my IHM blogg about what I’ll be up to the coming weeks. Check it out here!

Never had to have a chaperone, no sir. I’m there to keep my eye on her

Had a visit from Pri some weeks ago, fun fun fun!

2013, bring it on!

One month. En månad. De mhí amháin…
… Sometimes one just have to take a vacation. And that is exactly what I did. Went home to Sweden and stayed there for, well, one month!

Doing what? Nothing useful, but oh so important!
Like catching up with great friends and family. Ate great food. Went for great walks. Slept great. Drank great. Played in great snow. Partied and danced great (oh well). Slept some more. Great!

Now I’m back in Dublin, for my second semester, and everything is back to normal. Being as well rested I as got to be over Christmas, I’m now more than psyched over all the possibilities and changes that this year will bring!!

It's windy in Howth

Sweden vs. Ireland – Is there’s always an excuse to party?

In Sweden?
– Yes, let me just check my schedule.

In Ireland?
– Yes.

There’s no question who deserves the mark on this. And that’s what I love about this country and its people. There’s no fuss, nothing is very complicated or to structured. If you want to do something, just ask and someone will undoubtedly say yes. However, in Sweden people are often tied up in something very important. Schedule’s all set and people often hang out in their groups and rarely leave it for a beer with someone else. OK, I might have over-exaggerated a bit, but it is not far from the truth.

Sweden vs. Ireland
1-1

Anywho.. Over to yesterday’s excuse for a party:

TWELVE PUBS OF CHRISTMAS
The last couple of weeks Dublin been INVADED of people dressed in sweaters that, well, lets just say that Mark Darcy’s mother would be proud. People dressing in awful, yet charming, Rudolph-sweaters. Santa hats. Reindeers antlers. Christmas tree lightning in their hair. On their shirts. On their shoes. Business people. Students. Old people. Young people. Hip people.

In Ireland, they have put a christmas-twist on their usual pub crawl, by dressing up like a christmas tree and then visiting 12 pubs on a strict schedule! And it was busy, every pub was crammed with happy people! Of course,I had to try it out!Fiona, Teresa and Friends IMG_6985Quite satisfied with the result! Was invited to join sweet Fiona, her sister Teresa and friends.

Irish people are the most relaxed, easy going people, but when it comes to 12 Pubs of christmas, it gets serious. Look at the schedule they emailed everyone, love it!

12 pubs of Christmas
Got to try out a bunch of cool pubs, found my favorite one so far: the pub with no name. Cool atmosphere, cool music, gorgeous people

As you can see, the results of photoing is as good as the number of pubs you’ve visited. Hmm..

Weekend in Dublin!

Previous weekend I fell even more in love with this place and I was re-boosted with new energy! Why?

Had the perfect excuse to take a break from the finals, got a visit from Sweden! Not only did I not spend a single minute thinking of school, but I got also to experience Dublin again!

We spent the weekend by eating and drinking. Walked. Ate great seafood. B&B. Showed my Dublin. Pubs. Watched Dublin girls try to walk in high heals. Laughed. Ate and drank some more. Lazy mornings. Full Irish breakfasts. Sunday market. Visit to Howth. Drank with fishermen. Stunning coastal walk.

Simply a great weekend!

 

To Blog or not to Blog…

… that is the question. I’ve just been asked by IHM Business School, where I recently graduated from, if I wanted to blog for them, about me and my life here in Dublin. Have a look at the blogs of IHM Business School

Fun stuff! Am very glad that they thought of me. However, as for right now my schedule is crazy packed with 7 assignments that’s due in less then 5 weeks. Is it really a good idea to add yet another thing to do?

The answer is probably no. But the ones that know me also know what my answer will be!

Reminder

And I promise to write about more intriguing stuff then…


 … that the best season for yummy oranges is now…

… or, that I’ve just bought the Ultimate Life Saver #2, because the crappy isolation freezes my feet…

… or, that the mailbox system works a little different then what I’m used to back at home…. They just leave it in a mishmash on a desk in the stairwell. And yes, people seems to open their shit and leave it there for others to enjoy. Luckily, someone *caugh* always clean it up by sorting them out when she passes 😉
