It has been a cool educative experience that will really help me in my future education.

OK, you may be thinking (What is she trippin about?)

Well, these past two days, a guy and I got selected in our school for having shown a significant interest in mathematics, therefore we flew to Umeå to become a part of an organization. It is called “Sonja Kovalevsky-dagarna” and the idea has been - for the past 13 years - to make people more interested in maths. 

 

To be honest, there were many of us expecting to see a lot of nerd-looking people, like a bunch of Sheldons with a somewhat wiseacre attitude. But I was proven wrong when I got to see the cool people who were social, funny and had the same interests as I.

 

Plus it felt like college, the fact that we weren’t that many people (just a little over a hundred) and we did see a great many lectures about mathematics in general, which also surprised me a lot because I didn't expect them to be that inspiring. Besides that we had a couple of math challenges and even singing challenges. At evenings some of us played poker, when others went to get wasted or watch das fussball when Sweden lost lol.

 

I think many of us agreed by the fact that we were treated as prince - and princesses, the food was sooo good and the hotel - just lovely. And before we took of, we got to take all the candies that they had for us and I took a whole bag of candy and chips. Then some of us took a night-train for 14 hours, which I found cozy. ^^

School start

Two days ago I got so excited for school to start again, thinking I was going to have this chill, awesome schedule like my sister and all the old "treor" had, meaning less subjects. Instead, this is what I got.
 
Week A & B
 
 
 
 
I get stressed out just by looking at it...gaaahh I hate it.
 
 

Lalalala

I'm finally done with homework and tests and other things that kept me from writing something here, so you can welcome me back yaaayy!

 

I apologize for my lack of blogging, but a lot of stuff has happened since I wrote the latest post and I guess I owe you an explanation:

 

Well I can start by mentioning that my dad got a job in Halmstad where he's been busy working and therefore is often staying over at his friend's house and can only come home when he's not working. So I've been reeeallyyy stressed by both homework and taking care of the home.

 

Anyhow, I also got a job, for just the summer though and I was really surprised when I got picked because it has been really tough for me to get one. The fact that I haven't had any offer these past few years that I've searched, so I was more than happy to accept any job really. I guess my family and I are starting to get a little lucky now.. I was like finallyyyy :O

 

My sister's prom was awesome and I got really inspired when me and Casandra were watching the ones going to prom near Dunkers, they looked like princesses, so fa-bu-lous! And since my sister told me all about the dinner at Sundspärlan, I know what to expect for my prom next year. I can't wait! :D

 

hmm.. well I guess that was it

 

 

Over and out, peace

 
 
 

Never skip a legday

Sup homies!

  

I was at an exhibition or "mässa" as they call it in Swedish, where I guided 8th graders and talked about the different technical programs they can choose from at my school and how it is to study there. I had to lie a lot of course, cause' the school has a request on people in the technical programs especially girls.

 

I liked the fact that it was for 8th graders because when I was at their age I had no freaking idea of what I wanted to study, so as it came for the last year in 9th grade I randomly just picked the engineering program when I only had one week to choose.

 

Anyways... after the exhibition a classmate and I went back to school and some other mates took over instead. And well since I never skip a leg day I decided to wait for a friend because we were going to do the legs today. Thinking he was going to rest, I showed up right after they finished the last class. It's no secret my favorite day at the gym is when doing the exercises for firming your legs and butt or as they call it; the legday, while for most guys it seems to be their least favorite...

Gala n shit

Whoa! A whole week has passed since I wrote something here. I guess you should know about what's been holding me back.

 

Well first of all, I've had 3 tests to do and I was really relieved after every test, because it really felt as if I had a huge burden on me. I was complaining a lot before the tests until one of my pals told me that the ones who don’t have enough time are actually the ones who tend to find the time to do homework and then get better grades. And I guess he was right, because I thought it was a miracle when I noticed how easy the tests actually tourned out to be.

 

But I still had a lot of other things to think about during those days; my dance! Although I'm that kind of girl who enjoys dancing, I got stressed when I had to spend an average of 4 hours a day just for the "gala" we were rehearsing for! T'was a show consisted of dancers, singers and musicians, with a couple of awards in-between. Now that I think about it, I had fun and it was worth the effort.

 

 

 

This was the dress I wore in 2 of the 5 dances we had on that show

 

 

 
 

Schoolin life

During Wednesday to Friday I stayed in Lund for a better look for the engineering university programs, and I must say they really got me inspired after seeing all the opportunities. Technology is the future and they definitely gave us the cool view for our future technology.

 

My favorite experience was needless to say in the Virtual Reality Lab, the name speaks for itself. It is about experiencing something virtual as reality. Three of them called The Black box, the Haptic simulator and the other one called the Car Simulator technology.

 
The Black Box was a huge box with 3d images of a totally reality looking view where you floated from different areas and fool your vision into thinking it was reality. 
 

 

The Haptic simulator made it possible to poke objects with a censor and feel the things as if they were living things even though they too were only images.

 

 

The Car Simulator technology gave you the opportunity to drive a real car without being afraid of hitting people, because your front view was just like experiencing those racecar games you already have in your home.

 
 
Now imagine those three combined into a Sims game, only you are the character and you get to move from different areas and experience it as reality, be able to feel the things you see with your game console and get into a car and drive through the roads. Wouldn't that make it the most awesome game ever?
