Let's Get it Started


Waking up nice and early, looking out the window to see a beautiful sunny day, and having that feeling in my gut that I’m going to die; that’s what I felt like when I knew I was going on the first run with my boss. As I said before, I’ve never been much of a jogger- I’ve tried cross country several times but drop out because either I get bored with it or some injury-related problem springs up.
I haven’t run a long distance for at least a year now, of course I’ve ran at my too-fast pace for shorter distances and have been going to the gym a few times a week but I know that shouldn’t have conditioned me to start running 30 kilometers a week. But to my surprise, it’s actually very energizing and refreshing to go out and jog at a 10k pace and talk and be outside on the great nature trails. I really want to keep up with this- the trails around my house are absolutely perfect and I love running close to the sea and past Sofiero castle… and saying “Hej” to fellow joggers on the trail. The poodle, Fox, also thoroughly enjoys going out with us. 




I did my St. Patrick's day celebrating in the student town of Lund. I had a lot of fun, we ended up going to a corridor party and I really enjoyed seeing the student life. I truly hope I can get accepted next year. 

The days keep getting longer and longer, and I'm really feeling that spring is upon us! 

One thing that is typical spring is that love is in the air, and babies are born. I want to give a huge congratulations to my cousins who are engaged and getting married, and also my cousins who have had babies! I am so happy for you guys. 

On the farm, spring brings baby animals. Every year I'm used to seeing baby sheep, baby cows, and baby chicks, it's so cute! I guess I have to miss out on that this year- I don't know if my family would appreciate me adopting 50 baby chicks and keeping them in my room. 

Until Next Time
