The 90's

Don't know why I felt like listening to Rooster by Alice in chains just tonight. It's such a great song, also watched the video and it made me a bit sad. Continued with watching more videos of that great band. The ninties were so great. Wish I was a bit older so I could have taken part of it in another way. Read about Layne Staley's life and death. Made me even more sad. The way he had to go, how terrible he must have felt during his last years. Too many great people has passed away due to the same causes as him. It always seems to be the ones that have so much more to give.

Now I'm redescovering the music I will always love. Guess I should thank my brother for giving me all of his Nirvana albums for my 12th birthday. It's amazing how something like that, a gesture from a person you really look up to will shape you as a person. Didn't mean to go all deep on you, was just thinking a lot.

If you have nothing better to do you should definatley check out Mad Season. Listening to them atm!

Supernice!

Puerta del Sol on New Years

Some people are just too nice! A friend just asked if me if me and my boyfriend wanted to borrow his apartment in Madrid during New Years. Incredable, I had to ask if he was serious like a million times. Just wanted to show my appreciation for nice things like that. Thank you, all you supernice people in my life<3

It's the final countdown; daaa da, da da da da da

 Less than a month until I return to Madrid!  Everyone has been getting daily updates on exactly how many days remain in my countdown (twenty nine, if you're wondering), and I've been getting a little spacey and unfocused.    But really, how can anyone be productive when 5 months of long distance are drawing to a close? A few essays, final exams, some packing and a long plane ride and bing bang boom, I'm back. 

Time flies

(I'm just as happy as Alexander Wang)

The days are just flying away. I barely have time to do anything during the days before they end. The thing is, I'm not doing anything special and they are still just going so fast.

I don't understand- doesn't time usually feel like it's moving slower when you're not doing anything? Very weird, although I am happy about it. I have so much to look forward to, so so excited!

Chills

Please come to Madrid!

Airport

Since I will be spending sometime at the aiport when going back to Madrid after christmas, I needed some ideas. As any normal human being I googled what to do instead of ask a real person. I found helpful answers such as stare blankly into space...

Another one suggested to exercise- ain't going to happen.

So far I guess I'll be eating, walking around exploring, buying crap I don't need, drink too much coffee, play solitaire, read, watch movies, stare and wait.

If you have any helpful ideas on what to do in an airport I'm all ears!
