autumn days

autumn has definitely arrived as it is starting to get really cold

but it's all good thanks to awesome winter jackets and massive furry gloves 

Gothenburg is just so charming in the autumn colors

my fascination with the architecture here is more than enough material for another very long blog post 

gotta take my camera out on the next sunny day and capture more of the city's amazing buildings

how is it possible not to love this?

-----

on another note,

this one's on repeat these days..

fritz kalkbrenner- right in the dark

genius stuff!

Bruxelles- Köln- København

back from Belgium

with some unanticipated stops in Germany and Denmark

all in all I can confirm that broken trains, delays and hangovers don't go that well together

but it was a great trip nonetheless 

and left me with a box of  some wonderful Belgium chocolates to keep me company during the next study nights

eva

Belgium!

off to Belgium for a long weekend filled with 

beer,

chocolate,

waffles 

and 

cocktails

adios!

midterm's up

midterm's up which seems so weird as I feel like I just got here..

anyways, I don't feel like studying but I've got a huge carrot at the end of the stick..

OFF TO BELGIUM IN 4 DAYS!

but until then it's gonna be the books, energy drinks and Veronica Maggio

 

swedish and italian combined in one song= luv!

why I love göteborg #4

the vicinity of nature..

it takes no time at all to get out of the city and go to beautiful lakes, green nature

and some good old fresh air

-

today I went on a little trip with some friends to check out Delsjön for the first time

and it turned out to be just lovely

I can't wait to see what the area will look like in the winter 

and I'm pretty sure this will end up being one of my favorite spots next spring.

eva

it's 2 am 

I've had too much red bull for the night

why I love göteborg #3

went to my first hockey match today.. 

and definitely not the last one since I had a blast!

our team won and my friends tricked me into getting the frölunda colors painted on our faces

a great night with great people!

FRÖLUNDA!

sunny friday

today was the perfect day, not a cloud in the sky

so it didn't take us long to run out to the park after class

and take advantage of the sun and its warmth

before they leave us for the winter

somehow I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy the springtime over here

-

on another note

keep your eyes and ears out for this lady

lana del rey

dear god that voice is just exceptional

why I love göteborg #2

it's a student city 

so even though it's not the biggest city around 

it's still full of life and you can always find something to do

-

tonight was Göteborg's student kick-off

snapped these shots during Timo Räisänen's performance 

good times

why I love göteborg #1

lack of library hours calls for some other Sunday night study places

and I think I've found my favorite one

the open window brings fresh air,

the sound of the occasional tram passing by and the slight smell of the 

delicious thai food from the restaurant below simply just make me happy 

I'm going to enjoy every bit of this loveliness while the nights are still warm

home

headed home for a few days of vacation

and some quality time with family and friends

the summer weather is finally back after being lost for the entire month of July

can't say that I dislike it

by the way..

Shook's remix of Fallulah- I Lay My Head

is brilliant 

(and suits the weather)

done 

at 

1 0 1

I'll miss the bar a little bit

off

I just watched the whole season of 

Game of Thrones, 

pretty much in only one sitting involving the same enthusiasm that tends to follow when I get sucked into TV shows.. that is screaming, laughing and crying at the screen

I need season two to air, badly

other than that I've spent the last days enjoying some good food

made my crappy nails look awesome and golden

and knitted a new headband.. 

which is pretty much the only thing I know how to knit, 

yet.. 

it's all in the works

gotta love the days off work

pie time

just like a little kid I like to wait in front of the oven and count down the minutes until it's ready

 

sweetness

Sweden countdown: 

32 days

it's therefore only appropriate to end this with some lovely Swedish electro-pop

Urban Cone- Urban Photograph

less than six weeks until taking off for Sweden

until then..

only 11 days of work

and over 20 days of 

some sweet summer relaxing

chiddy bang

heatwave

yes please!

i
want
summer

göteborg

so the next stop abroad is finally confirmed

from 1. September 2011 I'll be spending two years in 

this beautiful city

yes yes yes!

anyways

despite an endless overload of work it's still a feel good Sunday

eva

my singing stars

Peter Simone

this guy has definitely become a favorite, his songs are fantastic.

I´ve been hooked on them for weeks now and don't seem to get 
tired of them at all,

now that's some talent 

This side alone

Leave Hollywood

Awake and dream

this video just proves my point

and the best thing is..

you can download his songs (legally and guilt free) from his website

can't wait to hear more

long overdue

school/project/work overload these days

just so I keep expressing my love for Foster the People

-Helena Beat-

good stuff


ps. 
dear snow,
 I like you and all,
 but it feels weird hearing people talk about spring break while all I do when I go outside is trying not to fall flat on my face on the slippery ice..
you can get moving now,
 see you next winter.
