Tutorials.

  Reading your essay in a tutorial, is like fighting a war in the trenches. Sentence by sentence, you have to be prepared to defend yourself, every move you make. Meter by meter you have to be prepared to face fire from your enemy. Eventually the war is won. The sentences have been defended, but […]

Slutstrejkat

5 veckor senare och en halv procent högre lön sedan förra budet. Var det värt det? ”Man kan ju fundera på om det är någon idé att gå ut i konflikt någon mer gång”, säger Lena Sjölin som är avdelningsordförande i Västerbotten. Ja, det kan man verkligen fråga sig. Strejk är ett ålderdomligt verkyg, som sedan […]

Sex in NY

Just watched the new Sex & the City-film. Amazing. What can I say? Simply amazing. I’m on clouds. Watch it. Shame the Swedish premier is not ’till I get back. But that means that I can watch it on the first day again. Exciting. I so want to go shopping now. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6U8o9Ed0VI&feature=related]

Sjuksyrrorna.

De har fått galet mycket uppmärksamhet på sistone, våra sjuksystrar i Sverige. Jag har medvetet inte skrivit någonting om det tidigare. Framför allt för att jag tycker att de definitivt har helt rätt i sina krav, men de använder sig av helt fel metoder. Strejk är ett föråldrat tillvägagångssätt som inte hör hemma på 2000-talet. […]

”We are gonna imagine what might be”

Barak Obama. The next American president? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtN3hsITCok] He is a fantastic speaker. But I can help getting an uncomfortable feeling. In Europe, we haven’t seen mass rallies like this one since …. the 30s. Most political commentators now take his victory (in the fight for the nomination) for granted; the question is rather, when will […]

Divorce and new acquaintances

So this might sound quite silly to someone who has not experienced something similar. But I’m telling you – it’s not! I have a calculator which gives me the answers to my questions. I’ve had it for many years. I still don’t understand close to a majority of its functions. But I like it. If […]

Today’s exercise.

Just ran from the library to my room in absolutely massive rain. They throw you out at 1 am; outrageous. Quite exciting jumping between the ponds that have already formed around college. And wet. Where is the spring? The blogging hasn’t been as frequent recently (and hopefully wont be the upcoming days) as I’ve got to […]

With plumes and red lace in Heythrop park

Union ball last night in Heythrop park outside Oxford. The theme – Moulin Rouge. (As a very frequent visitor to the red mill on Boulevard Clichy, I must say it did not resemble much of the real thing – despite the burlesque dancers.) It was still a great evening in my opinion. After a half hour bus ride, we […]

Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain, rain. I like the rain; it’s quite nice when you’re sitting inside with a book and a cup of tea. But, I had to walk to OUCA council meeting so now I’m soaking wet. It’s cold. What you have to do for freedom. And apparently the sun is shining at home…
