I haven't been online much cause I've been busy graduating from upper secondary school.


















Allen thinks our Swedish traditions are crazy. You know, all the white outfits, the hats, signs, flowers around the neck, running out on the school stairs class by class, embarassing the graduates with odd ways of transport - basically all the making a big deal.

I didn't think much of it either but it's been fantastic, lots of fun. I feel completely spoilt rotten with presents and congrats from loving relatives and friends. (Then again, I was probably the only graduate to get up next morning and go to work at 8.30, so I'm trying to make up for the spoiltness.)

I'm so glad my family came all this way to share this week with me. It's been wonderful to spend proper time with my grandparents, parents and younger brother.
Thank you so much! <3

Today begins the arrival of relatives who are visiting to celebrate my graduation with me. This afternoon I'll meet up with my dad and his parents, and then my mum and brother will join up on saturday. Since everyone lives quite a while away and you need to come here by boat and everything, it's always a bit of a hassle to arrange these events. Sounded like my grandparents had some plans for what they wanted to do during their stay anyway, so I'm hoping we'll have some fun even before the celebrations start on monday-tuesday.

Last night was a farewell dinner party at my school, with students, current and past teachers and parents. My family haven't arrived for graduation yet, so I spent less time mingling and more time attempting to take some pictures. People were so shy though! At least the the welcome drink stood still while I aimed.

Finished reading for my Jules Verne assignment. :)

Can't believe I haven't got around to reading anything by him before, so this was the right subject of choice for me. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this book! The meaning of "science fiction" suddenly became clear, because that is truly what this is - a fictional story with great focus on the scientific evidence of why it could be true. Wonderful!

The fact that this was written in the 1860's baffles me. Did they know all this stuff back then? Very detailed. To me, who is not exactly educated in geology, this sounds like something that could actually have been published last year about a travel that actually did take place.

In the story, Axel finds himself being dragged along to an adventure when his uncle, Professor Lidenbrock, makes a very special discovery. If he is to believe the rare coded document he has found, there is an underground path which can lead them all the way to the Center of the Earth! Axel doesn't know what to believe, but his uncle is obsessed with the possibility and is already packing for their incredible journey.

It's a shame I got the ending ruined (I had already accidentally seen it on Wikipedia), cause it was an excellent and unexpected ending, which is always a big plus to me. Anyone who likes adventure books and has a slight scientific interest should give Jules Verne a try. I wouldn't mind reading a few of his other books in my free time. :)

I'm taking literature history right now and for my latest assignment I picked Jules Verne. He's one of them authors you always hear so much about but I never took the time to read anything by him.

So I'm reading A Journey to the Center of the Earth. And I'm really liking it. And then, when I've read almost half way, and is pretty worked up about the plot, I suddenly remember that I've heard how this story ends before. Kinda ruining the surprise. Fail.

No one thinks about warning for spoilers about a book written in the 1860's I guess.
