Panic.

Now the panic is starting for real though.

Panic?

When teachers ask if we had hit the point of panic yet, you suddenly start to think. Should I panic? Are there reasons for me to? The answer is: YES. I should panic, and sometimes when I am by myself the I am struck by terror and a bit of hysteria. However, the feeling has passed in a second and I am then back to normal. I do not know if this is good or bad. The expected behaviour of the IB-student at this time of the year is sitting locked inside the restroom crying one's eyes out. I really have some math to learn, and biology, so I will spend a lot of time in school these next coming weeks. Only five weeks until exams!

It is not helping that all students in the non-IB program has the IB-floor as their new hang-out spot. They're talking, shouting and playing music/youtube videos and are over all extremely obnosxoius.

something strange

Something strange is happening.

Nowadays, I wake up every morning by myself just after 6 am. After more than 8 hours of sleep. This mysterious new sleeping patterns started slowly, but have now taken over completely. I am full of energy from 6.30 am to when I come home. Then I am exhausted, I just wanna sit around staring out in thin air. This might be because my days are stuffed with new things happening, new info to take in and just so much to think of. Things that go through my mind these days are: exams, math, graduation, summer, studying, moving, baby brother on its way, and other minor (sarcasm) stuff that affects a soon 19 to be year old.

I figured, if I stay out and not go home until later in the evening, I will keep up with the tempo and not become tired. So I will now spend my afternoons/evenings at the library, gym or the closest bar.

Cupcakes Again

As I have mentioned, we are in somekind of a cupcake phase right now. I have also mentioned that we will have a cupcake day. This cupcake day today evolved into a cupcake competition, with judges, rules and different categories. It is called the Cupcake Competition Super Mega Awesome Extravaganza. The categories are:
- Chocolate
- Elegant
- Wild and Crazy

You will get points for both apperance and taste. If you win, you will be crowned "Cupcake Master" (this I just made up, but I will suggest it tomorrow).

I AM GOING FOR THE WIN




Maybe you have realized that we take everything seriously, we can never do anything half-hearted. We always go crazy with most things.

Cupcakes

Some of my friends are right now in a Cupcake-phase. This means that they on their free time make cupcakes. And lots of them, many different types and flavours. And I am happy, since these cupcakes have to be eaten by someone and I am always willing to sacrifice myself. Sunday I invited meself to my Cupcake-friend and had a nice chat with tea and homemade cupcakes.
Today me and my friend spent the afternoon in the park, sitting in the sun eating these delicious treats.

We have also decided to have a "Cupcake-Day" when we will just spend the entire day makig cupcakes. It will probably not happen until this summer, but it will be awesome.

Lanterna

Lanterna Revision Courses is an organization who offers IB-students with effective courses in whatevery subject one feels in need to revise. For an smaller or larger sum, revision courses are offered in Stockholm in spring. My weak subject is math, so I therefor signed up for an intense 2-days course which will take place at Stockholm's School of Economics, or Handelshögskolan in Swedish. By doing some good revising now, and having the help of a proffesional during easter break, I hope that I'll get a passing grade and better in my exams.

Downton Abbey

I have recently found out about a British drama series called Downton Abbey, and I have to say it is wonderful. I love it. Period. It is set in pre-WWI society, circulating the lives of the inhabitants of Downton Abbey, both family and servants. After only seeing 5 episodes, I as the audience has already developed a relationship with almost all the characters. Some I love, some I despise, some I feel a deep sympathy for and some that are just ver charming. One of the actors also did the role as Edward Ferrars in BBC's version of Sense and Sensibility. Another famous person from the cast list is Maggie Smith. The lady more famous as Professor McGonagall for the younger generation. Thanks to variuos websites online I have seen up to episode 5, but now I have to stop myself from watching more, I really do not wish this series to end.

I therefor recommend everyone to sit down and watch it.
