Roller coaster
Life is a roller coaster, it goes up and down. Sometimes its fun and sometimes you get motion sickness. I guess its really just to throw your hands in the air and enjoy the ride.

study and learning
Here I am again, studying as usual, well, obviously I am not studying at the moment since I am writing in my blog but you know what I mean.
We are now in the process of writing a B-level thesis. It is about China's foreign policy in Africa and we are using Sudan as a case-study. I think it is very interesting but heavy reading, hence the break for the blog-writing:)
I found out this week that I did not get the internship at the Swedish embassy in Washington DC. I guess it was not meant to be, but I have many other opportunities in other parts of the world so I keep hoping and if it is not meant for me to do an internship in the fall then I will have the opportunity to take some very interesting classes in University. This past week has been very rewarding though. The disappointment has turned to a sweetness in knowing that the Lord really knows better than I, which has given me more hope and faith. I have also developed a deepened appreciation for my family, they are my harbor and sure foundation. Even if life is tough sometimes, which I would say it has been this week, life really is good!! And the tough times can truly become blessings and can make us stronger and more firm in our faith. I know that, especially from this week... I just wanted you to know that.

First and foremost, just for the record, I have the cutest nephews in the world, here is one of them. There, now its official.
This past weekend I was home in Jönköping celebrating my sisters birthday and the first of May. The First of May is a bank holiday in Sweden but since it was on a saturday this year it didnt make much of a difference. But I went up early and met my Uncle Lars, Aunt Sonja, Mari and Kristina in the city park and we listened to a men's choir and a "spring speach" and then we sang the Swedish National Anthem to welcome the Spring. It was as wonderful as always, only a trifle cold.
