Some updates

Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. Long time no see my friends!
I have my final exams coming up in a week and have therefore been busy for the last couple of months.
I feel quite optimistic about my results but we'll see when I get the results in July.

The visual art exhibition went well; I got lots of compliments and encouragement. I applied for a program in gaming design, 2D, at the university. I'll see if that is my up of tee, otherwise I will steer into another creative field, possibly traditional art and mural painting.
My plans for the summer include some working with art; taking orders on artworks and selling what I make. I will make a page on this blog for my portfolio for those who are interested. Some smaller pieces may be for sale at etsy.com, I will post a link when I start doing that.

This was a very brief update but I wish you all a magnificent spring and I will see you in a couple of months (probably)!

Homework and graduation hat!

This will be a very short update. 

Today I got my graduation cap and it is gorgeous! I long for the graduation like mad now. The dress goes really well with it as well! I still have the mocks and final exams to get through before it's time though.
This is by the way what the Swedish graduation caps looks like:

Swedish students wear these when they finish high school. It looks rather different from the American graduation caps. The Swedish ones are traditionally look like the one in the picture, mine is red on the inside. I chose the most expensive one. I thought I would go all out on it since you only graduate once.

There is an enormous amount of work to do before week 8. I hope I will have the time and energy to finish it all. l have to if I want my diploma. It is all very stressful but with some discipline it shouldn't be a problem.

Wish me Iuck!

Deer Night

Today is the last day of the winter break. A busy spring is waiting for me with the final exams coming up. The day has been filled with studying but I took a short break and created this set on Polyvore:

In this set i surrounded the ourfit around the thought of a winter night in Sweden. Graduation is comming up for me and lately I have been thinking a lot about what I will want to wear on the prom. The ideas I have at the moment are similar to those in this set; a simplistic look with small details that pop. The dress has a waist that flatters most body types so I hope this will give you inspiration for a future outfit for special occasions.

Contrasting

I experimented some with polyvore.com today. It is a fun website where you can create sets of pictures and/or items of your choice.
This set focuses on contrasts between the edgy and sweet. I experimented with contrasts as a challenge to make the different go well together. I have been much into this concept lately; it is interesting to draw parallels and make things work together when they are not intended to do so from the beginning.
I hope you like it!

Some Updates

Good evening friends!
Today has been the first Sunday in Advent. I am really looking forward to Christmas and have Christmas-decorated my apartment. It's lovely!
Right now I am eating a Lucia saffron buns (the bun seen in the first picture) and listening to some Christmas songs by Elvis.

 

And now to school:

I have been quite bussy the last month, hence I have not been feeling up to writing in the blog.
Yesterday I did a survey in town for the math class, the IB Internal Assessment for Math Studies SL. I was asking people about their political standpoint. It's hard to get people to stop in the Christmas shopping though and I didn't get as many as I needed. I published the survey online and now I'm almost done.

The Extended Essay is also done, thank god, and it's really a relife not to have to think about it any more. The Extended Essay is an IB essay that is core content for the entire programme and is, as the name suggests, a long essay. It can be any topic and I chose to make a literature analysis of Pippi Longstocking and Eli from Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist and made a comparison between the two characters. I am quite satisfied, but think I had some errors in the formalia.

We have also finally gotten snow here in Skövde, 5 centimetres! At my mom's place there is apparently 40 centimetres of snow! I love snow; the glitter and the sound when you step on it... Aah winter is here!

I also spotted this snow man yesterday when I got home;

Good Morning!

Right now I'm sitting in my bed. I woke up about an hour ago and thought I would do some homework before I go to school, as I start at 10:00.
The deadline for an important essay is today but there is not much left to so I though I would head to second hand after school.
During the weekend I have been eating LCHF but I found that I can't find any nice recipes for me. I am very picky with my food unfortunately. I am thinking of taking a "break" from the LCHF until I find good recipes because I have a hard time already knowing what to eat. This weekend I have been feeling great though. I haven't been tired at all and not been hungry between meals, which is great!
We'll see how it turns out. Maybe I will continue after Christmas; there are so many tempting delicious things around this time of the year! I think I could keep myself away from it but honestly I don't want to, it's a part of Christmas for me so I would take a break from LCHF there anyway.

Have a nice day!
