When Bows Meet Physics

Hi darlings,

so sorry for not posting in quite a while... It's been two rough weeks with hardly any sleep and loads of work. With my boyfriend being away I have to do all the stuff he is supposed to do, I'm terribly stressed out because we're moving in a week (yes in ONE week) and my head is filled with derivations, formulas and DNA (well, it's filled with DNA anyway, but you know what I mean, don't you).
I actually took some outfit shots a couple of days ago (in my boyfriends room after packing up his stuff - don't look at the background as it's kind of messy).

It's a shame you can't see my shoes - they're my favourite.


Well, at least I can show you my favourite necklace! I just looove bows! Did you notice the bow in my hair?

Well then, I'll go and answer my tutorial questions now because I have to hand them in until... You don't want to know. Very soon.


Love,
Nora

Something About Second First Days Is Reassuring

Hejhej,

I just got back from my first day at university although it wasn't really my first day. But still my first day as a biology student. And I have to say, I feel so much more comfortable now. A year ago when I started studying German and English it felt so wrong to go to university. I really wasn't ready. But now it's perfect. I feel like a student and I guess I also start acting like one...
But I was also really lucky today. When I started German last year I met such a nice girl. And by coincidence today, in the totally overcrowded lecture hall (I was late - as alwyas), I sat next to her. Well, she gave up German too. And also one of the coolest guys I've ever met started studying biology which is just great.
What is not so great is that my boyfriend had to go to military service yesterday meaning that I'll be all alone for three long weeks. I could hardly sleep last night because I'm so used to his snoring =) At least we won't fight over furniture for the next three weeks. But hey, boys just don't know what's pretty!
I'd love to show you some outfit shots some time, but somehow I don't manage to get such good pictures as you do. Maybe somebody can explain to me how you take a picture with your head and your shoes on it? I'd be grateful!
Oh, and I almost forgot: Alla Vi Barn i Bullerbyn came through the mail yesterday, and I just love it! If I ever have a daughter her name will be Lisa! Or maybe Lena, which is a great name too. What names would you like to give your children?
Well, then goodbye to all you eukaryotes out there! (I'm sorry, but I'll probably swamp my blog with biological words from now on =))

Waiting for Autumn in a Wood of Nines

Hejhej darlings,

today is the favourite day of my life, because it's the 09/09/09. I actually should be getting married today =) Nine has always been my favouritee number. Not just because I was born on a nintht, but also because my favourite football player (which whom I was very much in love when I was younger) had the number nine and just because nine is great!

I'm currently waiting for autumn to come, it's my favourite season. Unfortunately it always seems to slip past me so quickly and before I notice it's already winter. I'd like to share some autumn spirit with you.

Gathering Leaves

by Robert Frost

Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.

I make a great noise
Of rustling all day
Like rabbit and deer
Running away.

But the mountains I raise
Elude my embrace,
Flowing over my arms
And into my face.

I may load and unload
Again and again
Till I fill the whole shed,
And what have I then?

Next to nothing for weight,
And since they grew duller
From contact with earth,
Next to nothing for color.

Next to nothing for use.
But a crop is a crop,
And who's to say where
The harvest shall stop?

Why Trenchcoats Make Me Cry

A tiny island I recently found on the river.

Hey folks,

phew, it has been a rough week... But yesterday was the final day of my maths course - I thought it would never end.
I'm very happy because suddenly summer went and atumn came. A few days ago it was raining heavily and I was walking to university in my new trenchcoat, listening to Kate Rusby and I suddenly felt so homesick, homesick for England... God, how I miss my island. I haven't been there in more than a year and I miss the weather, the people, the smell, the pubs, the food... I miss how being at home feels. It's such a wonderful feeling. I never really felt like being Swiss, I don't like this country and the city I live in is about the only nice place here. But still, in my heart it's not my home. And when I first went to England - it was an amazing feeling. Somehow so comfortable and just right.
I know I said I'd give up on England, but I just can't. Yesterday (well, more likely today) I went to two pubs with some friends, and it looked so very authentic in there, so I have some tiny spaces of good old England here which makes feel kind of safe until I visit Dear Old Blighty again.
But I guess I won't be able to go back in the next couple of months, so I'll have to continue living with my heart in England and my body here...

If you'd like to feel a little of my longing for the United Kingdom too, why don't you try listening to The Cranberries (or just Dolores O'Riordan), Amy Macdonald, Kate Rusby, Black Box Recorder (my favourite band!) or Sandi Thom.

Now I'll be off dancing in the rain and dreaming about green hills, white cliffs and windy sea shores.


Love,
Nora
