Jag minns 2010 / reminiscing 2010
//
I see people around the web doing Memory Banks over 2010, maybe I should do that too.
January
Got back after Christmas. 14 C in my room, and I was still living on the countryside in north of Lund. Was very nervous for passing my exam, because if I failed I wouldn’t have gotten accepted to the next course in Media and Communication.
February
I was accepted, and had started the new course. It was a cold winter. I remember that a friend visited me from Stockholm. Busy with a lot of studying, but I had great friends at my course. We formed Team Awesome.
March
I suppose that a lot of things happened, the most important I got a room at my present dorm. So for the most of the time I was preparing for the move.
April
Moving time! I got a lot of help from my friends in Lund and we moved in 1 hour or so. The rest of the month was all about studying. Preparing for the Essay, with a capital E. Me and my friend were forming Team half Awesome. I think I sent in my first set of papers to start the process with Amsterdam and got nominated.
May
Essay-time. I remember not doing anything except writing with my partner. We wrote about Facebook and the new Media’s visibility and privacy.
June
Finally done with the essay; VG, baby! I went back home to Gothenburg for the summer holidays to work. I was quite sick at the time, due to my hard work and my immune system had collapsed. I started working and reunited with all my friends from work and my childhood.
July
Working as hard as I could so save money. I had plans for August.
August
First I had to redo an exam. But I didn’t have to energy to study at all. But somehow I passed it. I sent all my papers to Amsterdam. Then I went for a well needed vacation for a long weekend to Stockholm and mixed some business with pleasure. Then I had a second vacation in one week where me and my mum when to our summer place in Falkenberg. Though I was sick and the weather wasn’t great, I finally had some time to relax.
September
New course, Sociology. Back to Lund. Can’t say I remember much about it.
October
Visited Gothenburg and got accepted to Amsterdam, I thought.
November
Found out the I gotten the wrong information by my student consoler. I had to start the huge process with contacting Amsterdam to get accepted even though I didn’t have enough credits. After much emailing, I got the news that I had to pass every course that semester and I started to study like mad. Deadline for applications to exchange 2011, so I applied to USA, Korea, Singapore and Hongkong. I did 7 different study plans, wrote my SoP, CV and sent in all the formal papers with grades etc. Failed one of my exams and had to redo it. I didn’t sleep much this month.
December
Found out I was nominated to the University of California. I was so happy I almost cried. Didn’t though. Then it was time for Deadline for applications to UC. Re-write everything. And I mean everything. I had to contact my bank and old high school to get financial papers and grades, let’s just say it was a lot of work.
Besides that I had my studies. I passed my exam that I retook. Then I passed another assignment even though I had huge difficulties with my partner and had to let her go. Then I found out I had to redo another assignment. I was so stressed that I got back my gastric catarrh. Slept 4 hours per night. Was very irritable and probably very bitter. Got back to Gothenburg for the winter holidays 2 days before Christmas Eve. Started to work again on Christmas day. Meet a lot of friends and started to prepare for Amsterdam with papers and stuff.
I had to say my dearest you have had a very very fruitful year! And now it's time for you to harvest! Yes since I left Lund on 3 Jan I didn't see anything happening on you, but I could imagine how tough and hard time you had. But you have made everything through, it was AWESOME, like what you named, AWESOME! Proud of you seriously!!!
Thank you, my dearest. I wish I could have shared it with you. But I hope to see you soon. Maybe this summer or, the summer after that...who knows?
