This has been a long day. I would never have made it without K and S...and my ray of sunshine B. My feet are actually throbbing right now!

Dial...what?

Today's been one of those days. Just outside my door this morning I met a friend who asked me why he wasn't invited to the birthday dinner, of course I tried to weave three lies into one really bad lie. I try to tell the truth as much as possible, but in this case I've already tried the truth and it only made him upset and didn't lead to anything good...

Today

For some reason I woke up at seven in the morning, read a book, cleaned the house and in the evening I met up with B again and we went into the city to have sushi. Surprisingly good...and weird sushi, and one of those weird Japanese sodas. Then back home just in time for Skins.

I woke up at six. AM. Wide awake. Read a book before people began to text me. They're going and they're not going. Off and on. But I guess that's better than the people who didn't answer me at all... This is the last time I try to organize anything. I say that every year though. 

In the end,  as usual, we ended up having a good time and none of us were even late there! We were seven people going out for dinner when all the texting was done, and the food was good. B ate all the left-overs from our plates, and then, just in case, stopped by McD on the way home from the restaurant. He ordered ten cheese burgers and probably one of everything on the menu. One person went home and one person moved on, and the rest of us when to B's place and drank cider and played cards for hours.

Religion or just a bad excuse?

I got stuck in front of the telly again this morning. They were debating religion (Islam) and how much religion could be integrated into Swedish schools. According to the law, Swedish school are supposed to be free of religion, but still people have the right to practice their religion. One of the schools (a Swedish school somewhere in the country side) present had basically adapted the entire school to their few religious students. There was a room for prayer, halal food in the cafeteria and the kids had to wear full-length clothes when going to the pool. The kids even got separate showers (a luxery only very allergic kids had, back in our day).

But the most discussed topic of the day was the skipping class. The religious kids got to pick and choose what classes they didn't want to have. Sex ed. of course. But music, and math, why did they have to skip that? One of the students even admitted, they'd asked him what classes to get rid of and he just skipped the ones he didn't like. This does give the kids a big disadvantage when they later finish school. They don't get a complete education, or a diploma. They're not even allowed to go to high school. They can never be a part of the Swedish society completely.

Yay me!

I do have friends! :) Good day, mum and I went to a new lunch restaurant place thingy and the food was really good! Tried on some bras and stuff in a store (bad fit) and ended up buying some strange wine instead.

It's weird. How ever much you complain about your job etc you still feel proud and happy when you actually get things done, or do something you didn't think you could do. Like today, I managed to get the stubborn new printer to work. Not a big deal for some people, but for me, who knows absolutely nothing about those things and who is afraid to touch any settings on the computer unless a male friend tells me it's ok, it is a big deal.

Day...

Another long day. Meeting in the morning, other stuff to do in the afternoon (a billion sandwiches). But at least there was a present waiting for me when I got home. Thanks M!
