My first website is completed. A very large event in my life, since the darn thing has been near completion for a couple of weeks now, but managed to create a new problem for everyone I solve. Flash is an evil program, EVIL!
But now everything is sunshine and roses, it site is, up, it is running. I am feeling proud, true, it is not perfect, but that doesn’t matter.
You can check it out here! |

Today Jonatan and I turned 2 years old. When I got home there was a bouquet of red roses by my door. He is just to perfect! |

| Updates? |
[Dec. 12th, 2007|11:44 am] |
No, I do not update my blog very often. You might have noticed, or maybe not. There are several reasons for this, I have never been a great blogger, I have a real diary by my bed that gets a lot more attention, school takes up most of my blogging energy but the biggest reason is this, Hyper Island forced us to start a new blog in the beginning of the term. So there you have it. If you feel like dropping by and se how my education is progressing, take a peak at http://www.rebeccaberg.blogspot.com/
Hope you have a merry, merry Christmas soooooon!
Love and hugs |

NEW COMPUTER!!!
It is white, it shines in the dark, it is beautiful and it can do just about anything in a beautiful way. I am happy.
Birthday tomorrow. This was a early gift.
Engagement rings are being made, and I will probably go to Stockholm for the weekend.
Things are good.
Except for school, which is a struggle at this point. No time for anything really right now, we work from 8 in the morning until 8 in the evening but still I feel like we are getting nothing done.
But soon this stress will be over, the fun will begin, we will do the exhibition and well... it might turn out great in the end. |

| Engagement |
[Sep. 23rd, 2007|04:12 pm] |
Yesterday Jonatan dropped down on both knees, told me that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and asked me if I wanted to be his fiancé. He did not say “please marry me” (I think, my head was sort of spinning), but that is the underlying meaning is it not? Maybe not so much as it used to be... Why am I talking about this?
Right. So he asked, I said yes. We are going to buy rings together next weekend.
I am still trying to get my head around this. One minute I am overjoyed, the next I feel a sort of nervous panic building.
But mostly happiness, when it has sunk in, I hope only the happiness will stay. |

| Shower in the livingroom |
[Aug. 10th, 2007|02:04 pm] |
Good God it is good to be back online!!! Sweet internet...
So I have moved to the end of the world. I live in a small apartment with a landlord that is trying to cheat a lot of money out of us poor souls living here by not doing anything at all.
Under normal circumstances I would have thought both once and twice about living in an apartment where the shower is in the bathroom, but you can't be to picky when you have less than a month to find an apartment before school starts. I am not complaining too much though, I have a wonderful view of the water from my large windows. The winter will be interesting though; will I have heat? The guy in the store below me (who is hitting shamelessly at me btw) haven't had any heating there the last tree years.
School has started but not much has happened yet. People seem nice enough though. A bit sad that our class won't be called “crew 13”, but DM07KRN instead which isn't nearly as exciting.
Not much more to say right now. Jonatan is coming to see me and we are going to a big party with my 51 classmates later in the evening. Life is pretty good. Even without furniture. |

| A Good Prison |
[Jul. 16th, 2007|01:43 am] |
Late night posting. That might show in the spelling but tomorrow I will be to tired to correct it, you mark my words. There is a thunderstorm going on outside which is the ideal weather for blogging I always thought.
I am not in Macedonia. I am going back to school this autumn, a very good school they tell me. A very good prison. I might even make it in the outside world when they let me out. Hyper Island. I would lie if I said that I’m not conflicted about this, Macedonia is well… a wonderful opportunity. I would love to go, I would learn so much and it would be a great chance to leave this boring country for a while. But Hyper Island is a wonderful opportunity as well, and whereas Macedonia will still be there in two years there is no guarantee that I will be accepted to Hyper Island next year.
I begin the eight of August. So there is not much more summer left for me (which, considering how utterly bored I am now, and how I long fore something to do, is probably a good thing) but what’s worse I have less than a month to find an apartment in Karlskrona. Which, by the way, I will be refereeing to as the End of the World from now on. It is not a doomsday device; it is just an overgrown village at the end of Sweden where nothing of interest to anyone is located. I was there for two days and I felt like shooting myself. I do hope school will take up much of my time and that my fellow students will be fun and friendly because they will probably be the only real people around.
Which me luck! And come visit, I feel I might go mad there if I don’t have anyone sensible to talk to. As Dylan Moran says, “…you get these articles about how unhealthy city life is, mobile phone tumours are far more likely in the city. Well you know what, so is everything else. Including sex, coffee and conversations!” |

| Stuff have happened |
[Jun. 27th, 2007|05:39 pm] |
Haven’t updated for a while now. This is not because my existence have been eventless this past month, stuff have happened. But somehow my computer isn’t as exiting in the summer.
I went to a camp of sorts, a team bulidning camp you might call it, for Swedish volunteers. It was fun. We climed on walls and trees and ran around blindfolded trying to put ropes into squares. I got home and my sending organisation called and said that oops, they had booked me on the wrong project; the people in Macedonia don’t expect me until October. Which was not great because I had quit my fucking job so that I could get ready in time and hadn’t thought I would be able to work in August.
Today I got a letter from Beckmans. Weeks, and weeks of waiting are finally over. It was a pretty envelope but it was far to light so I knew before I opened it that I hadn’t made it. I was right. Which is sad. I hadn’t really thought I would, but I had entertained a stupid hope all the same.
This weekend I am going to Hyper Island for interviews and group exercises, if I don’t make is past that test either I am going to Macedonia for nine moths, in August at the earliest. If not I will attend a school located in an old prison.
After I read the message from Beckmans school of Design I re-decorated my room. The letter from Beckmans now supports my bookshelf and keeps it from tipping. So it came to good use after all. |

| Macedonia it is |
[Jun. 1st, 2007|11:20 am] |
Well, that is settled then. I am going to Macedonia on the first of Juli. Seems to me it will be quite a experience and hopefully both fun and educational. But the guilt is ruining the joy of it, cause if I get accepted to Beckmans or Hyper Island I will ditch them and come back home. Which is not a very nice thing to do. Especially since the government is giving me so much money to go... It is really quite insane how easily they decided to give me all that money. But it is also a good thing, I may not be a very good volunteer but it volunteering is a good thing and that it isn't too hard get founding is all for the best.
Macedonia also seems to be a beautiful country. Slightly troubled, but beautiful. Finding and good information on it seems hard though, the library catalog stared blankly at me when I asked it for books about it. Well, it would have if a catalog could stare. But it was rather blank.
Outside a rumpus is going on (a new favorite word, rumpus ( I have been re-reading The Truth.)). Graduation times. Students are streaming by our windows, shouting, screaming, singing, blowing whistles and horns. They have been going at it all week. I thought students were supposed to stand on trucks, screaming their heads of, but apparently it is all right to walk in Malmö. Good for the environment I suppose.
I am going to Stockholm to be there when my cousin graduates. Apparently she has given the family quite a list of things she wants as graduation presents. Mostly tablewear as I understand it, of ta very expensive brand. Well, that side of the family have always been like that, but I dread the day I see their wish-lists when they get married, that is all I'm saying. |

That horrid, hateful package of so much angst, worry and above all stress, the maker of mood swings and tears is in the hands of the post now. Thank god. Never want to see it again.
I am in that stage now where I am just so relieved that it's over that I don't care about what happens next, if they accept me or not.

| Snabb uppdatering |
[May. 26th, 2007|08:39 pm] |
Den 30:e ska allt vara klart, uppklistrat på panåer och inlämnat på posten. Så nära men ändå så långt borta. Är nästan klar.... nästan. Kan inte fatta hur länge jag slitit med de här proverna, stressat och varit orolig. Och snart är det över. Känns overkligt.
Kan bara tänka på när allt är över. Kommer kännas som någon tagit halva universums vikt av mina axlar. Längtar så fruktansvärt mycket! Sen ska jag bara leka, inte sitta hemma och jobba. Jag kommer kunna gå ut, utomhus, på helgerna! Inte sitta vid datorn och jobba. Ska bli så fruktansvärt skönt. Har sådan abstinens efter att vara ute, dansa, träffa folk, inte ha 100 uppgifter och formulär att fylla i att det är inte klokt.
Samtidigt känns tiden till onsdag försvinnande liten... men jag ska klara det!
Sen är det upp till någon annan att bestämma min framtid... |

| THIS summer! |
[May. 21st, 2007|01:18 pm] |
Is driving me mad. Absolutely, freaking mad.
Just found out that I will, most likely, go to Macedonia. I have the unofficial word of the board that decides these things, so to speak. I will leave at the first of July. To work as a volunteer at a magazine of some sort. Which, I suppose, is good news. Finding a job for the summer is suddenly not important at all...
All the schools I have applied for won't give me a reply un till midsummer or such like, so I have to go to Macedonia before, I can't turn it down because of school because I don't know if I will get accepted to one.
It is all so strange and confusing... I didn't expect it, although I realize now that I should have.
I will miss Jonatan so much if I go. I can't be away from him more than three days without going insane as it is so I don't know how this will work. Besides that I am kind of looking forward to it. Except the part where I, if I get in to one of the schools I have applied for, leaves after just two months when I was supposed to be working there for 10.
But then I will be so happy about getting in that it won't bother me I expect...
Sorry if this is a confusing post, I am very confused myself right now. Can't finish my thought properly... |

[May. 10th, 2007|08:09 pm] |
I have a cold and a job interview tomorrow. In Stockholm. So I am taking the train at 05:28, when the tickets are at their cheapest. The trip there and back again still cost 1200 kr so I better get the job, that is all I am saying.
The job is at Gröna Lund (a tivoli in case any of you don’t know) and my job there would be making fast food. Not the most glorious of jobs, but I am still looking forward to it and I hope I get it. And the pay is better than at the glorious job I have now.
The tasks we had to do in preparations for the interview though… very strange. “Bring something that reminds you of Gröna Lund.” What the heck?
The reason that I haven’t updated much this past month is because I have switched computer. The Adobe package flipped out and stopped working on the one I used before and I now sit at a much cooler one that can do anything in no time at all. Unfortunately it is positioned so everyone can see what I am doing on my screen; hence no updates at work anymore.
Good news is that even though I feel kind of useless at work sometimes, they seem to appreciate me. I have been offered to stay the whole of June and August, so if I don’t get the job at the Tivoli I can still manage. Even Agneta seems to like me now. It’s nice. ^^
And I love being in China. (Sorry, just re-read (or rather re-listened to) the Amber Spyglass, the China thing is a metaphor.) |

It has been so hot this weekend... Insanely so. Like a hot summers day.
Bought a new dress, red with white dots. Pretty.
And I made ICE CREAM! The real, creamy stuff. Tasted exactly like ice cream is supposed to taste. Wish I could show you pictures... So yummy.
Anyone up for a ice cream party? |

| Stress |
[Apr. 12th, 2007|11:03 am] |
So stressed out right now. About absolutely everything. At once.
I won't be able to finish my work-samples, I just know it.
I haven't sent out even one CV to any company that could hire me during the summer
I won't be able to get my drivers license this year, so I will have to take the stupid test again whenever I have time. (Which is to say, not until I'm 30.)
CSN is messing with me again.
I haven't heard from the stupid volunteer organization, and the final date that my applications is supposed to be sent is drawing nearer.
My migraines are back.
Shitshitshitshit. |

| Useless angst |
[Apr. 11th, 2007|03:20 pm] |
I will never amount to anything. Or maybe I will. If anything really means anything, as in whatever. Then I will probably make it. I can clean offices or sell overpriced tickets on the subway. I can't drive a bus, I don't even have a regular drivers license.
Very depressed right now. Reality sort of fell down from the sky and hit me in the head. I will never get into Beckmans. Or Bergs och Forsbergs (even if I could afford it). I am just not good enough. I'm about three years away from being good enough. And quite frankly I am unsure if I have the talent of becoming good enough even then. Or ever. |

| Far away from Starbucks land |
[Apr. 3rd, 2007|11:41 am] |
Hellu.
I have been to Starbucks once in my life. That was in Japan and I didn't even order anything. Sweden is a Starbucks free zone. And I wouldn't want it any other way, I am happy with Espresso House (which is taking over the country) and more than happy with local cafes which will always be more personal.
But they don't let you Make it your drink
It is only because I am such a design nerd, I know, but I love it! At first I tried out all the designs that looked cool, but then I decided to do one that I would actually like to drink. And since I don't like coffee but love chai, especially chai latte, then I am a 
For the Starbucks fans out there I know this is old news, but far away from Starbucks land, it is ok to be a little behind...
What is your drink? Paste a picture in your comment or post it in your own blog, but I would really like to know! Pretty please? |
