This Cat.

Is such a brat.
Brian went to visit his family for a few days and I am in charge of feeding Luna.
I got off work today and came and fed her and then decided to work on some homework here so she wouldn't be lonely (or do something stupid).
I don't know if it worked or not.  Within twenty minutes she was laying all over my papers and chewing my pen while I was trying to write.


Laying on all my things


Chewing my pen

Buuuuuut I love her.
Right now she's trying to smash her head as far into the keyboard as possible.  Such a silly kitty.

All smooshed


I've been essentially working full time this week, spent over 35 hours there. Sheesh. But I enjoy my work and the hours and the paycheck that comes at the end.

Other than that, no news from here.  Looking forward to my favorite korean meal ever on Saturday.  Me madre is going to make sam gyup sal. DELICOUS.

Stressed? Not me!

I'm working a lot this week but the stress hasn't kicked in yet.  In fact, I'm so busy that I'm starting to organize my time better.  It's surprisingly super awesome.  Every hour is booked for something, it seems.  Either work, class, studying or spending time with my boyfriend or other good friends.

Right now I'm studying at my boyfriend's apartment while he sleeps.  I like doing schoolwork here.  I get to play with Luna for study breaks.  Now I'm completing some assignments to free up time this weekend since I work 7-8 hours every day essentially.  Business communications, Finance, and Earthquakes & Volcanos are the subjects for tonight.  And maybe some Advanced Criminology, if I have time and am not too burnt out.  Not to mention laundry.  Hooray!



Listening to Shpongle and being productive.  Nothing better.

ENTP

A few weeks ago a counselor from the Career Center came to visit my Organizational Behavior class and gave out a detailed personality test.  Last week she came back with the results for everyone in the class.  I was ENTP (Extraversion, Intuition, Thinking, Perceiving).

I found this particularly interesting not because I was surprised or anything, but because of the way everyone can be lumped together in 16 categories of personality.

"Bored by routine, will seldom do the same thing the same way"
"Apt to turn to one new interest after another"
"May have trouble making decisions"
"May start too many projects and have difficulty in finishing them"
"Tend to be faster, dislike complicated procedures"
"Like to have people around"

Yup. Sounds like me.
Even though these are really general and vague statements that make it easy to group people (that being the point, after all), it makes me somewhat uncomfortable knowing that I'm that easy to figure out.

Anyways.

Spoke on the phone with my wonderful friend Hanna L today for about an hour.  She's in LA living it up, going to school for Recording Arts.  I'm jealous and can't wait until I can go visit her :)  Fall, probably.

We reminisced of the good ol' times.  Nights at Pipe's, filming our own movies and being crazy all over the island of Holmön on Midsummer's Eve, camping and grilling meat on a hot stone over fire (spiced with salty chips!) on Norrbyskär, and other small random moments in the two years we had together.

As promised, here is the first of many clips to come from some of the fun memories of Östra.
