I love this day already. Mostly because I've gotten plenty of things done and it's only 2pm. I woke up at 9ish, had a cup of coffee and then went out for a walk with my mom. Then I spent about 2 hours to get my bio lab done, showered and got an hour of driving done with dad.
Now I just got ready for a couple of hours in Nordstan with my baby girl, Vilma. Have a great day my friends,

So as you might know it's Thanksgiving break in the US at the moment which means that everyone's home from college. And seeing all of my homies in Palo Alto together makes me missing then even more. It's not fair,

Tidig kväll, ikväll
I spent a good amount of time for homework when I got home today although it's Friday. Unfortunately it's gonna be more of that this weekend... Now I just hung out with Sebastian, watching Idol together. I think I'm hitting the sack early tonight since I'm exhausted.
Tomorrow I think Vilma and I are going shopping downtown at some point but other than that I don't have that much planned other than hw,

Latte konst
Now we just finished the Amnesty meeting so I'm on the tram on my way home in the rain. Gosh I really hate this; literally want snow so badly right now.
Anyway my day was good; got a good response on an English assignment and my catch up with Andreas was super fun. We chose Eva's Paley, where we've been together before, and it's so cozy! Just decided that I NEED to learn how to make these pretty lattes on my own. At my favorite coffee place in California, Coupa Cafe, the guy wrote my name with a tiny heart under on top if my latte - how cool? I'm starting to love this new trend with "latte art".
I'm very tired after this week so I'm excited to get home. Have a good Friday,

Godmorgon fredag
How are you guys holding up today? Such a great timing for Friday to enter, isn't it? I woke up an hour before my iPhone was supposed to start make noises however I don't mind it that much - I think I'm gonna take a shower, put a big sweater on and just have a relaxing time with my morning coffee;)
So what's up today? Economics - where I by the way scored a 6 on the test that were handed back yesterday. As you know me, I'm not satisfied, especially because I was annoyingly close to a 7. But in overall, it's fine - I'll get it next time. Then I have Swedish and English and I'm done! After school I'm (finally) hanging out with Andreas! Can't believe we haven't seen each other since he came back from California... Then at 4pm I have an Amnesty meeting I need to attend. Tonight I think I'm just having dinner at home and chilling with the fam,

Hi babes!
I've really looked forward to tell you about my day; first of all we had a field trip to Sahlgrenska Hospital to have a few in our psychology class have their brains scanned by MRI and f-MRI scans. It was super cool although I'm so happy I didn't volunteer since it included spending about 10 minutes in a total claustrophobic place - euw.
Vilma and I got home at around 4:30 and started making mom's birthday cake and preparing the food. My dad has been away for a business trip in Germany this week and we had told mom that he was gonna be back at 22:30 tonight, however he came home in time for dinner and we sneaked him in and put him at the dinner table and totally surprised mom. She got so happy! Now we just had dinner and dessert together as well as handing over our presents and sang her the birthday song. I really hope she had a great day,
MATILDA
Ingen vanlig dag, idag...

Now I'm ready to head off for school and to only two classes - whey. Since it's significantly warmer today (-6 yesterday and +6 today) I decided to wear my little thinner jacket from G-STAR. It's in a dark green color although it's hard to tell from the picture. Today after school I'm doing some errands downtown before I'm heading home. Hope you all are enjoying the day,

Good morning my beautiful hearts!
Today my second and third class were cancelled so I used the classic "dentist-appointment" - excuse to my teacher for my first class. Yes - even the geek skips sometimes;) However it was a good decision because I could sleep in, get some hw done as well as going out for a 45 minutes powerwalk around the lake which was incredibly cool today. Now I'm gonna jump into the shower - talk to you later,

Hvitfeldtska-bound
I'm sure I've already told you about how much I loved Kitas and was definitely planning on going back when I moved back from California, but during the summer I realized that I just couldn't study in Swedish anymore, it wasn't what I wanted. I really loved Kitas as a school as well as the teachers and schedule but especially my friends - honestly not graduating with that group of girls breaks my heart. But I'm so greatful we kept in touch and are still hanging out! Anyway, Kitas is a super small yet cozy school and to be honest I only applied to Hvitfeldtska because of their IB programme but now I've actually come to like it. It's a huge school with so many different kinds of people which is convenient to me since I love socializing ;) Anyway something else I like with the school are the very old buildings and aulas as well as the views - look! How pretty aren't these pictures I took today? Wonderful. Speaking of Hvitfeldtska and IB today we had the best guest speaker who spoke about study skills specifically for IB. He was a professional IB examiner himself and came with great advice as well as he managed to calm us down about everything we will face in IB,

Zipper bootcut
Although these pants are far from bootcut, in fact they are super tight, they actually work perfectly fine as a pair since they're super stretchy and have zippers. Whatcha think? And also I've been working on a new header lately... I really like the one I have, but it's so summer-ish so let's see how this one will turn out - I'll ask my baby sister for help,
MATILDA
Tipset
Some of you wanted to know about the top I wore on Saturday - here it is. A great advice is to order it online since they might be out in the stores. As I mentioned it comes in black, white and red although the red one is more of a bright red-orange color. It's super pretty and I'm really happy I got it as well as the price is reasonable. However, the sizes are super small - I got it in M, whereas my other tops from BikBok are in XS, so if you were about to get it online order one or two sizes up,

För kallt
Yup, just what the title says: IT'S TOO FREAKING COLD! And you know what the worst part is? It's getting colder, whether we like it or not. And yes I know I can't move back to California right now, but this picture was taken last summer in Sweden. Can't believe how lucky I was to have the best year ever in California and then come back to the best summer in Sweden. The weather was the best it had been in years and enjoying it with my beloved family and friends was the best home-coming gift I could ever get. Wow how I miss those boating days now when we have about 4 months ahead of us with cold and darkness,

How we're doing today? I'm actually pretty okay with Monday today since I really had a good weekend with no homework at all. Today I end at 12:20 because of my new lovely schedule and then at 2:30 I'm meeting up with daddy for my next driving class with a professional. Now I'm gonna enjoy the rest of my latte,

Rebecca and I went out for a wonderful walk in the sun earlier today. I love this type of weather; freezing cold yet sunny! Then Josefine and I went to Frölunda Torg for some birthday gift shopping for mommy, since it's her birthday on Thursday. Love all the malls and shopping streets all over Gothenburg this time a year. Since it's November 24 today it's only 1 month left for Christmas. It's incredible how fast times pass by,

... what a party! You know a party is awesome when you don't even have time to take pictures to remember it. So yeah, no pictures - sorry guys! I got only one of Robin, the guy who turned 18 and his friends when we all sang the happy birthday song, but really that's it. So as I told you we started off att Johanna's for dinner with the girls and pregaming. At around 10ish we took the bus to Robin's and although we weren't certain about the route to his house from the bus stop we found the house because of the music, haha! His house was great for parties and it was a lot of people there already when we showed and I was super excited to see people whom I haven't talked to since I was in 7th grade as well as meeting new people! We literally danced all night and that's when you know it's a good party. Even songs like "Genom eld och vatten" and "La Dolce Vita" came on, haha...
Thumbs up for great nights,

Lördagkväll
Hi babes!
I was looking for a top from BikBok I found online today with Rebecca at Frölunda Torg and I found it - score! They had it in red, white and black and I decided to choose red one which is a little unlike me. It was only 199 kr, so not too bad. They are new arrivals and BikBok got them in on Monday and they're almost already out! I love it. Now I have to run to catch the bus to Johanna's where the girls are having dinner and drinks to later head out to Hovås for a party. Have a good night and be safe,

I was casually going though pictures from Cali on my iPad and I always end up getting these mixed feelings about it. Looking at the pictures makes me wanna cry because I miss it so much however they make me feel so great at the same time since it indeed was the best year of my life and to be remind of that kind of happiness of course will make you feel good. Wow I miss those times! I just instagrammed this picture from one of the best days; my first professional baseball game in San Francisco with the caption;"Once you have fallen in love with America, there's no way back."The AT&T ball park is one of the finest in the nation and I also got the opportunity to live in the Bay Area when they won it all. I'm one lucky girl,

Good morning cuties! Up yet? Guess not, huh? I've been up since 6 and I don't know why... Unfortunately last night turned out to be sort of a failure but at least I got home in time. Although I should be able to sleep in during weekends since I work hard for schoolall week I just can't. However I had the coziest morning; since my parents and Vilma are away for a basketball tournament and Josefine's still asleep I'm all alone and it's super relaxing. I made myself yoghurt+banana+coconut flakes, a huge glass of cold milk, coffee and an egg for breakfast. Then I got myself some blankets and watched a couple of episodes of Gossip Girl. This day is about to be great, since I technically have no homework, I'm going shopping, hopefully going out for a walk with Rebeccisen if she's available and tonight my girlfriends invited me to this party so I'm very excited. And look what a beautiful morning it is out? Don't wanna sleep until noon anymore, don't ya? ,

I know I told you I didn't have anything planned for tonight but change of plans - I'M GOING OUT. You know what I thought about? I LOVE spontaneity! You know when one of your friends text you and be like; hey girl, we're going out tonight, wanna come? So tonight we're off to Linn's place and then EXCET tonight, I'm beyond excited,

Today I am finally taking this godamn economics tests. I'm happy it's my first class so I can have plenty of coffee before, haha;) Other than that I also have an oral presentation due for English today so I've got an important day ahead of me.
However, this weekend and the two coming weeks will be significantly less work which I really need since I've been studying constantly lately. After school I'm meeting up with my babygirl Linda for a coffee and apparently the weather's supposed to be nice out today which is great. Tonight I don't have any specific plans but hopefully I can get some shopping done during the weekend as well as catching up with Andreas and some other friends of mine,

Multitasking?
The drawbacks with the IB programme is taking two literature courses - which in IB means constantly reading in both. Pretty sure we're gonna do about 20 books in Swedish A HL and about 15 books in English A SL - I'm gonna graduate as a geek fsho;),

FYI
The other day I was thinking about something interesting. That although my blog isn't huge or anything people constantly know what I'm doing. It's happens all the time that I tell my friends something and they'll go: "Well yeah, I know. I read it on your blog." And of course I wouldn't reveal very private or personal things about myself for my own sake, but actually it would be fun to reveal some funny or unknown ones, wouldn't it? So yeah, here you go;
I love meeting new people
I have asthma
I'm seriously addicted to coffee
I only wear thongs, other ones I find extremely uncomfortable
I love talking a lot
My future dream is to study law in college, somewhere in California
I love wine, mostly white
I hate stupid, predictable, love comedies on TV
I've got my belly button pierced
I'm proud of speaking both Swedish and English fluently
I've (embarrassingly) a hook-up list in my phone
I have a neckless with the "Palo Alto tree-sign" around my neck everyday (expect from when I'm going out because I'm afraid to lose it.) I got this from my beloved host mom the day I left Palo Alto, California
I'm an incredible bad loser
Milk is my favorite drink and I have outrageous amounts everyday
Nothing bothers me more than not receiving the best grade possible on a test
I love to snuggle, although people don't like to snuggle with me since I'm "wild in bed" haha - literally, I'd wildly kick or punch the person sleeping next to me
I went out on a fake-ID before I was 18
I've never smoked a cigarette,

When the rain is pouring and it's constantly dark I can't do anything but missing my home, California - my other home. I miss the heat, I miss the people, I miss all the new things I was introduced to, I miss tan legs and having a Starbucks on every corner. Oh, how I miss California,

Just got into the house again after a powerwalk in the pouring rain with Josefine and mommy. We were soaked!

This night's about to be good,

Just LOVE getting home early from school so it gives me more time to get things done and therefore less stressed. I have a HUGE economics test on Friday so it's the most perfect timing that I one only had one class today...
As soon as I got home I just put on cozy clothes and made myself a latte, cuddling on the couch while reading econ - simply a much better way to study,

Yesterday was GREAT! I'm really happy I ended up going because it was a great opportunity for me to bond with my classmates. I guess it's always going to be a little awkward since I'm older but hanging out with them really makes it easier since they are all adorable. And also I did choose to live in California a year and thus be a year behind my actual grade. So glad I'm doing it with these people!

Hi cutes!
How was your day? Mine has been loooong, but now it's finally over and I just had a relaxing bubblebath. Now I'm just cuddling on the couch but I think my mom and I will go out for a power walk later and then I'm hitting the sack early tonight.
Tomorrow I have a late start as well as one class cancelled which only means two classes in total tomorrow - whey. I may or may not have an Amnesty meeting after school, hopefully not so that I can come home on time. I need to get some economics homework done before the night. My friend Kevin's having his birthday party tomorrow night so that will be fun! Have a great night lovies,

We went to Hanna's in Torslanda to pregame and she has the most adorable house right by the water - aaaargh! Anyways Hanna, Evelina, Vilma and I had a great time talking and drinking until about 11ish when we took the bus to the city for the "masquerade ball-themed 200 days before graduation party" at Valand. The night was great and I really enjoyed the whole concept of masks. After we slept at Evelina's and it's only 10AM and I'm basically done with school already although I won't be home until 5ish; WOW!

FRÅGOR&SVAR
I started to read your blog a couple of months ago and I really enjoy it (very refreshing to find a blog without the drama and the bitchy comments and other bs other bloggers seem to build their blogs on). I love, love, love the black open-back top from "Gardagens" & "Sondagsangest" - where did you get that one? It's so cool. Hi! That makes me so happy - influence people in a good way is what all bloggers want to achieve. The top is lovely isn't it?;) And it's from H&M. I found it in Nordstan, Gothenburg but I actually looked online for you but I couldn't find it. Guess all you can do is to look in the stores. But I have another advice for you and I saw my American friend wear a similar one, from Nordstrom - look it up!
Hej! Gillar verkligen din blogg och hoppas verkligen inte att det gör dig ledsen men vad hände med dig och han Alexander? Även om du inte skrev så mycket om honom så verkade det som om du ändå gillade honom och så? Har du en ny kille nu? Älskar bloggen!!! Hejsan och tack så mycket! Och nejdå, det gör mig inte ledsen - ifall man inte frågar får man inget veta! Ja, jag tycker om honom väldigt mycket och han tyckte om mig med det vet jag men jag antar att vi inte var redo att ha ett förhållande än på grund av lite olika saker... Sånt händer tyvärr... Och nej har ingen ny kille än, men vi får väl se... Haha ;)
I've heard that Primeboots are kind of big and that you should order a size down - but since they have the steeltoe they wouldn't really be able to shape after your foot if they are a little tight... Prime Boots are "big" in such way that they're very heavy bc of the steeltoe but I wouldn't advice you to order a size down. I'm basically a 38 in all shoes and so I'm in Prime Boots. From all I've heard from friends that wear them too, they're all their actual size. But I ain't gonna lie Prime Boots are a pain in the butt at first because they're difficult to put on and take off because of their shape - but in a few weeks they will fit fine!
Hej!!! Tycker verkligen du är jättesöt Matilda, men vad är du mest nöjd med på din kropp och vad är du minst nöjd med? Och ifall du inte är nöjd med något, hur tänker du på? Sluta aldrig blogga!!!! Nämen åh vad gullig du är - tackar!!! Oj... Jag antar väl att jag är nöjd med mina ögon och min kropp som helhelt även om det alltid finns saker man skulle vilja "förbättra" om man säger så men jag har VÄLDIGT dåligt självförtroende när det kommer till mitt hår - jag HATAR det. Vill mer än allt ha tjockt, långt och fint hår... Men hur jag tänker? Antar att man får tänka att man kan påverka det man kan påverka och sedan kan man inte göra mer. Och hur kul är livet om man går runt och är missnöjd hela tiden? Var glad för det du tycker om med dig själv istället!
Gud, vad jag ÄLSKAR din pälsjacka - vart är den köpt?? GRYM blogg!!! Hihi tacktack! Bubbleroom.com
Where's your white top from and what size is it? I really like the way you're wearing it, although it's a little oversized! It's from Gina Tricot and it's size M. It's funny that you mentioned it because I didn't intend to buy M at first because I was looking for a XS, but they were out and at that point I just couldn't not buy it because I really liked it so I ended up buying M, which turned out pretty good too!
I've been following your blog a while and I know you're not seeing anyone at the moment - at least no one you're mentioning on the blog. What would be the perfect guy for you? Do you care about looks a lot? Would you want to have a boyfriend now? Loving the blog!!! THIS question... Really?;) Just kidding, haha. Nah, it's a very difficult question. I guess I don't have my dream guy, I don't believe in that. I think that when he comes around, he'll come around. And at that point he'll be my dream guy - do you follow? Like whoever he is, he will be my dream guy, with his perks as well as flaws. Looks? Yah, of course I care about looks - that's the first thing we notice! But that doesn't mean I'd date a hot guy only because of that fact if he was acting like a dick. Thanks!!!

På min tallrik
So I received a few questions from people who wondered what I eat. I don't know if they specifically wanted to know my food routines or more about what my meals consist of but I'll try to cover it all.
In the mornings I usually find it difficult to eat since I'm rarely hungry, so a huge cup of coffee latte with foamed milk is usually enough. But if I would have breakfast it would be natural yoghurt with heated raspberries and blueberries topped with coconut flakes.
When it comes to lunch I love eggs, or all different types of salads; such as with grilled chicken or chorizo sausages, feta cheese, sun dried tomatoes, corn, cucumber, arugula and so on. My other FAVORITE thing to have is avocado; partly because it's super good but also because it's healthy and contains very good types of fat. A great advice is to either have it in a salad or just slice the avocado in two and put some salt and pepper on and then just eat it with a spoon.
My mom's the best cook and she makes heavenly good food. Since basically the majority of my family is on LCHF (more or less), we have a lot of non-carb or low-carb dinners at home which suits me well, because I don't eat a lot of carbs myself either. My mom would make all different kinds of vegetables, salmon (with feta cheese is a favorite), chicken, fish soups, shrimps, meat sauce etc...
I drink an outrageously amount of milk everyday; for breakfast, lunch, dinner as well as some glasses in between. I LOVE milk but it's also good for your body since it contains a lot of protein.
What else? I don't eat a lot of sweets or other unhealthy foods, because I do care a lot about what my body looks like and yes I know that people are going insane about all these health/fitness-things going on, but I view it like this: If you're eating healthy food, working out a lot and stay away from sweets and are doing this in order to achieve a desirable body but yet you're uncomfortable living that way I think it's WRONG. But I see my own case differently; I'm comfortable with what I'm eating and not eating as well as the amount of time I work out, so then that's what I am going to do. But we're all humans and of course I sometimes crave something sweet too; at that point I would prefer all kinds of nuts, dried banana chips or peanut butter, but the favorite sweet is of course chocolate,

... tea to cure my sore throat. Gosh I'm so DONE with being sick now... I need to get better soon so I can start working out again - I really believe it puts me in a better mood,

You girls all now that standard issue that comes with going out clubbing; WHERE to put all your stuff. When you arrive to the club you are most likely to hang off your jacket in the wardrobe and since you will be dancing all night you don't really want to be stuck with a huge bag to carry around all night either either. So where to put your phone, wallet, money, make up, keys? I LOVE these pretty tiny "envelope bags" so much! They're both pretty, yet practical. Michael Kors and Marc by Marc Jacobs offer some really cute ones - WANTIES,

Sån kväll, ikväll
My mom's having dinner with a friend downtown tonight and daddy's in Japan for a business trip, so we decided to make tacos for dinner - YUMMI,

Gimme a break
Literally been studying since 9AM this morning and it's 4PM now. Yeah I don't have a life, tell me about it. I just called Rebecca and she was studying too so we decided to take a break and go out for a walk in the rain. Gives me the opportunity to inaugurate these,
MATILDA
Fuck
I'm in such a bad mood. JEEZ! Honestly I just wanna punch someone in the face. I feel boring for not doing anything for shit this Friday night, but I'm too freaking tired to even care. GOD, I hate feeling like this! I guess it's because I'm still sick, on that time of the month and basically just had a tough week. I wish I had exciting plans and loads of energy to go out; like put on a cute outfit with something sparky, put on heels and do my make up and then meet the girls for drinks and go out dancing all night but I'm just EXHAUSTED. Instead I'm just gonna read I the new magazine I got today and then watch a movie... Boring and lazy... I really need to get better from this cough and I need to get some energy. I'm an active, eager and impatient person - I can't be like this anymore. AAAAARGH!
CHEER ME UP SOMEONE PLEASE????

Starbucks
After living in the US a year and as a coffee drinker I LOVE Starbucks. It used to be one on every corner as well as the generally cheap American prices the coffee place is very convenient. There's only one Starbucks in Gothenburg so far and it's in "Centralstationen" whereas I rarely go but today I met up with daddy there for an AMAZING and HUGE coffee latte. Since it's close to Christmas they have switched into red coffee mugs and put on Christmas music - I really love that the Starbucks concept it's the same all over the world. I love Starbucks. I miss America,

Looooong day, huh? But it's finally weekend so we should be greatful. I also got tickets for Linda, Evelina and I for the MASQUERADE BALL on Tuesday! I'm so excited for going - it's gonna be great. The three of us are just going to have to figure out what masks to wear, but I think it'll be cool to wear all black clothing and then a glittery one, or what do you guys think? I've been hanging out with Rebecca downtown a while after school and now I'm at Starbucks waiting for my daddy to get her so we can have a coffee together and then go home,

Taggad på fredag
It's Friday! Already! I think the IB-programme should consider to never have school on Thursdays - I could get used to it. Today I'm up two hours earlier than usual to attend the Mattestuga at my school. I really hope I can receieve help though, since my math's in English and there are only Swedish math teachers provided. Today I'm just wearing a casual and comfortable outfit with Prime Boots, jeans and a leather jacket,
MATILDA
Åh, glitter
As a girl you can easily recall that it's never too early to start looking for a New Year's Eve dress so I put some effort in it today. As every year I'm looking for one with GLITTER and as you know I've become outrageously weak for OPEN-BACKS. I found 4 dresses I really liked, whereas the first one's from www.nelly.com and the three latter ones from www.bubbleroom.com (where I recently ordered my fur jacket from.) Do you guys know any other websites that offer good-looking party dresses with glitter or other cute party details? New Year's Eve is a special night and although I had an incredible one last year in California - WOW it just makes me smile when I think about it, I'm extra excited for this New Year since it will be back at home with my friends again.
Please let me know which one you like best,

Höst-promis
I woke up pretty early this morning although I could have slept in. Actually I didn't mind really since I had A LOT of homework to get done. And I actually did - so it feels GREAT, so relaxing now afterwards. I'm gonna go out for a power walk now - all I can do now when I'm sick,

Hög mysfaktor
Look how cozy!? Exactly what I needed; Nespresso latte AND Sweet Pink Vanilla tea and candles! Couldn't create a better environment for studying today. Hopefully I can be done at around 2-3ish if I'm being productive and I can have lunch and go out for a walk,
Keep smiling, keep shining,

Hi my beautiful angels!
How are you today? I'm feeling great, despite my cold and stacks of homework! I cleaned and organized my ENTIRE closet - look, almost like the Victoria Secret's shops... Almost ;) And on top of that I cleaned my room and made my bed. I just realized that you've probably only seen pictures of my lovely and huge bed made and not messy as it's most of the time - I'll show you sometime, I promise ;) I guess that's what happens when I can't work out - my energy goes to something else. Definitely a win-win situation - YEY! And good news about tomorrow; NO SCHOOL! Therefore I'm going to take the opportunity to stay up late tonight watching a good movie and have a cup of hot ginger tea for my throat (the best advice for colds), sleep in tomorrow, make myself a morning latte, light some candles, cuddle in my bed and just ENJOY the day,
MATILDA
Mössan är på
So I have one goal today and one goal only; NOT TO FREEZE! So I put on warm socks, a warm sweater, my fur jacket, a hat and mittens! I AM gonna stay warm today,
MATILDA
Får ge mig på en sånhär...
... and see what happens - I really hope my tummy says yes because I need the caffeine. How are you guys doing today? Barely awake yet, I suppose? Although waking up when it's totally dark and cold outside can be awful, but think about it - my Biology teacher said it yesterday; it's only about 7 weeks for Christmas! 7 WEEKS! And in fact these mornings are all what you make out of them - they can actually be pretty cozy too,

Vill träna
So you all heard about my terrible experience with the flu the last few days of fall break and even though I'm still bothered by it in such way that I can't have coffee or eat properly I'm getting better and better for each day. And at that point don't you think I'm catching a cold?!?! A FUCKING cold? So now I'm freezing cold all the time, coughing at night and exhausted from walking around my huge school. IT. IS. NOT. FAIR,

Bring it on Tuesday
Good morning my angels! How's this Tuesday treating you so far? I have a looooong-ass day in front of me with all hard classes and won't be home until 6ish... And unfortunately my tummy can't take coffee yet since it's too strong and it's a huge disappointment to me since that's my usual energy source in the mornings. At least I made myself some yummi, plain chai tea,
MATILDA
Matilda-tid
It was about 7pm and I had finish my homework, had dinner so I decided to treat myself with some Matilda-time; you know just pick my eyebrows, paint my nails, face masks and so on. I really love doing that sometimes, especially when I've been sick and not been giving a damn about what I look like. Simply a better Monday,

Skolkatalogen
I got off at school early today - much needed. I really don't think I could have taken more than that, I'm really exhausted. I had lunch and watch an episode of Life Unexpected and then I got some homework done. Then I noticed that I had gotten this in the mail - let's check if there are any cute guys at Hvitfeldtska or not,

Masquerade ball
So we all have that dream to attend a masquerade ball once in our lives, don't we? Let's just face it - it's a dream. Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaries and all of these other teenage or high school movies - they all have one.
Hvitfeldtska and Polhem have together decided to throw one together as the "200-dagarsfesten" (200 days before graduation) at Valand next week. I REALLY want to go but since a lot of my friends aren't 18, or other feel stressed about school since it's a Tuesday I don't really know if I'm going yet,
MATILDA
Söndagsångest
So this Sunday hasn't been too eventful either really... Still sick, still unproductive, still exhausted... My diet basically consists of iced apple juice... I haven't been able to eat anything today at all since I'm so afraid that it won't stay in my tummy. At least I do feel better today, so hopefully I can have something to eat a little later today.
I really hope I can attend school tomorrow because I really don't want to fall behind. Fortunately I only have two classes tomorrow; from 9:30-12:10. I did get all my English reading done and I just found out I have no school on Thursday - which means I can get homework done then too, which feels great.
Now I'm gonna get back to Life Unexpected! Gosh, I look terrible these days - all pale and sick. Although I really don't wanna get back to school tomorrow after fall break, I'm somewhat sort of excited to actually get dressed and put some make-up on these pale cheek-bones of mine,

Midjan och neråt
Being sick sucks, but there are things you are allowed to do at that point; such as drinking apple juice all day and create collages of clothes. I've been looking online a bit and here are some stuff from the waist and down I REALLY like, especially the black pair of bootcut jeans with a low pair of UGGS - check it out,

Ben&Jerry&Tilly
So last night I tried to have some salted crackers since I couldn't have any food at all during the day and I thought it went okay until they came right back up again... God I hate puking, I hate being sick!!!! I just had some ice-cream for breakfast, let's hope it will stay in my tummy...
This morning I got up at 9ish and sent Andreas this long-ass-text listing all the things he should do while he's in San Francisco - because yes, HE'S in California and I'M in in cold, dark Sweden WITH the flu - WHAT?! Not fair. I wanna be in my favorite city of all times... Anyway I listed probably too many things, but after staying in San Fran for a year, I did do A LOT! I hope he's having a great time.
I've been watching the TV-show "Life Unexpected" all morning. In fact I've seen all the episodes before, but that was about 3 years ago and I really enjoy it. Now I'm gonna get some English reading done...
Stay safe and WASH YOUR HANDS!!! The flu is just around the corner and I'm telling ya, you'd be better off w/o it,

Elsas värld
Wow this day has really been TERRIBLE. I got the flu and I've felt like shit all day. I have been vomitting all day and haven't been able to eat anything at all. I only had half a glass of pineapple juice to drink like half an hour ago...
Gosh, I haven't been sick like this in years. I've been lying on the couch all day watching "Elsas Värld" on TV3Play. Now I just had a shower which felt so good, since I've had a fever all day too. Now I'm gonna do another couple of episodes and hopefully be able to have some ice-cream my mom promised to bring me home,
A NOT VERY HAPPY MATILDA
Dålig morgon
This day couldn't have offered a worse opening. I woke up to a busy day with a lot of things to get done; driving class, workout session, homework, cleaning room and then a party tonight. I woke up and felt so sick to my stomach I didn't know what to do. I literally thought I was gonna puke... So anyway daddy and I cancelled the driving class, and I probably won't be able to work out which SUCKS because I really felt like it... And studying when you think you're gonna throw up any minute isn't really what I feel like doing but I don't have a choice really...
GOD, I HATE feeling like this. I HATE feeling unproductive and lazy, especially when I have a lot of things to get done. God, I'm really like Monica in FRIENDS, just can't admit the fact that I'm sick....
Instead of posting a terrifying picture of my pale face, here's one from last summer - aw I miss those tan days, I really do.
GODAMMIT,
MATILDA
