Future Plans

Författare: admin

I think I have changes my mind about a couple of things about my future. Before I couldn’t wait to start a family (have kids, a full time job and a house) but now… I have realized that I am not that kind of person really… I want to travel and see the world before I settle down like that. I don’t know why I was in such a rush before… but at least now I know :) Some of the places I have put on my ‘travel plan’ is:

Hawaii – Honululu

Egypt

Greece – Santorini

Argentina

Croatia

Turkey – Alanya (Again, its such a AMAZING place)

New Zeeland

An Australia round trip

Malta

Singapore

Amsterdam

I know I won’t be able to travel for a while… but maybe in 4 years or so, depending on how much I will be able to save, and I still have a huge loan to pay back to CSN, but I’m looking at the bright side :) It’s just money, and I want to live my life before I die :D

Surgery – Done!

Författare: admin

Yesss, finaly! After months of bullshit, pain, arguments ext, I have no wisdom teeth in my bottom jaw. The needle with the anaesthetic was so extremely painful, but mostly because my dentist accidentally hit a nerve with the needle, can’t describe the pain :P Then it was alright I guess… I mean I absolutely hate being numb, and this was my whole jaw, tongue, cheeks, and chin. I still felt some sort of pain when he was trying to pull the teeth out, especially on the right hand side (that was the most complicated tooth). My doctor called the pain ‘pressure’, but it wasn’t just pressure, it was some sort of pain. But after 40 minutes it was all done!

Now I am swollen, but at least I can move my jaw again, haha. The pain sort of comes and goes, every time I try to drink, eat, spit or swallow it hurts… just hope it won’t take too long before I’m all good.

Went to a job interview before the surgery yesterday, and I am doing a trial next week, hopefully… sometimes all you hear coming from employers mouths is just L-I-E-S :)


Cheers!

I quit at Lazy Moe’s, after working there for 2 weeks. I got $10/hour and two shifts a week. But it wasn’t only because of that. They were just so mean all the time, they were stressed, they screamed and yelled and I just did not feel good being there. During my last shift I got a really bad swelling in my throat, I lost my voice and started coughing, I told my ‘Boss’ that I need to go home earlier, what was her answer?? ”Nah, don’t think so’. If you want a job where they treat you like a slave, Lazy Moe’s is the place for you!

So yeah, I have been sick, started like a really bad cold, and I am still coughing (more than a week later). I did a trial at a new place called La Porchetta, but I have no idea how I went.

What did I think about Breaking Dawn? Well, it was a bit dissapointing. It was much slower and ‘dragged out’ that I thought it was going to be. But That is because this is Part 1, part 2 is faster, if I remember the book right. It was a good movie, and I did both cry and smile at the cinema :) In the magazine I gave Breaking Dawn 3/5 stars. Best so far? Nah, Eclipse is still number 1.

Now I have started taking walks in Craigieburn, just so I won’t die cuz I’m too bored :P And I just love the weather!! Some photos taken in Craigieburn are up on Facebook :)

One last thing… I need to go through a surgery (wisdom teeth removal), as soon as possible. I noticed that it started to get really painful, so I have taken lots of X-rays and yesterday I saw a specialist, apparently they cant just take the teeth out, they have to put me to sleep and do it. So the cost will be around $2500 which is 17200 kr. If my insurance can’t give me the money in advance, the surgery is not happening. That’s just insane, how it can be so expensive. Australia has got their bad sides, most often it is ‘money sides’, expensive country.

Time to jump in the shower

See ya!

Summer is here :)

Författare: admin

Well, almost :) Now it’s sunny and warm almost everyday, so nice :)

School’s over for this year, I will get my grades in December, can’t wait to see how I went in all the subjects. I also got a job, finally, as a waitress at a Restaurant called ‘Lazy Moe’s’. It’s at least something I can do during the summer.

Visited Chapel Street again a few days ago. Went there to meet up with Lisa (another Swedish student :) and so many memories came at the same time when I was walking the streets. I miss Denise so much it hurts, it really isn’t the same here without her :(

Mixed feelings about everything at the moment. Looking at facebook and reading about people moving into Stockholm, to their own apartment, getting a full time job… it’s a bit depressing, I simply can’t wait to actually start living an adult life – getting my own place, start working full time, and all that… but I have got to be at school for (still 3 years lol), 5 semesters. :/

But – tomorrow, midnight, I am going to sit at Hoyts Cinema and watch freaking BREAKING DAWN, haha, I’m feeling like a 15 year old, but at least I can admit that I am a freak and a huge fan haha :) Can’t wait!

News

Författare: admin

Hi there!

Sorry I’m not updating much, but there is so much going on in school, simply don’t have the time.

The weather is getting better, but yesterday at Philip Island was freekking cold, rain, cold wind, and wrong shoes. What was I doing at Philip Island? Well, I bought tickets for the Moto GP for me and Jeremy couple of weeks ago :) It was better to watch it live, but the weather could have been better. Photos are up on facebook.

Only 3 weeks left in school, and then I’m finished with the first semester (out of 6). I have already chosen subjects for next semester and I am a bit exited :)

Only a month left till I will see Twilight Breaking Dawn part 1 at the movies (midnight session, cuz my lovely boyfriend bought tickets for us) and I CAN’T WAIT!! Just saw some new trailers on youtube with more footage, gosh, I get Goosebumps. Here they are, enjoy!

To My lovely friends

Författare: admin

This post is dedicated to My friends in sweden. So the rest of the text will be in Swedish.

Denise: jag saknar dig så otroligt mycket. Bara tanken att vara här i VÅRAT land Australien utan dig känns fel. Australien var otroligt påfrestande för oss båda, vi har skumma, sjuka, tråkiga, läskiga, extremt roliga minnen tillsammans. 8 månader i Australien och (jag vet inte hur många) år i vänskap. Du finns i mitt hjärta och jag saknar dig varje minut som går. Älska dig <3

Ida: jag saknar dig så mycket att jag kan gråta. Inte ens i Sverige umgås vi tillräckligt ofta, jag vill vara med dig varenda sekund i våra liv!! Du får mig att le, och jag skulle göra allt för att få dig att komma hit! Älskar dig <3

Jessica: jag saknar dig så mycket! Trots att Skype är helt otroligt jävla hopplöst ibland så är jag så glad att du äntligen fixat så vi kan ringa varandra. Jag saknar inte Sverige lika mycket då och de hjälper mig så otroligt mycket. Att höra din röst babbla om skvaller och gud vet vad får mig att känna mig som hemma. Älskar dig <3

Katta (katie): jag saknar dig och din lägenhet (skämt å sido haha) jag saknar att kunna åka till Gnesta och sova över hos dig när jag vill. Du har alltid varit min ‘andra’ mamma och kommer alltid vara. Jag känner mig trygg med dig och behöver dig här. Älskar dig <3

Nadia: Jag saknar dig massor, vi har inte setts på så sjukt länge och jag kan helt ärligt säga att ibland tänker jag tillbaka VARJE DAG på alla minnen vi har från Småland tiden när jag kom och besökte dig. Jag hade så roligt varje gång! Jag tror att du inte ens inser hur roligt jag hade, och vet du varför? De va because of YOU! du och jag tillsammans är den perfekta kombinationen! Vi är så olika och det är därför vi är världens bästa team!

Charlene: jag behöver inte skriva en seriös text om hur mycket jag älskar dig för de vet du redan :) ses snart när du kommer hit med gubbe och hälsar på, can’t wait!!!!

Älskar er, saknar er!

Week 5

Författare: admin

Short update today!

Now it’s so much in school I’m going crazy! Feels like my brain just stopped working, been studying all day and I’m still not finished. And there is more to come…

melinasvoice is almost finished! I have done a few changes and uploaded more posts. The website has to be done next week, so at least I don’t have to worry about that part!!

I really miss my friends and family right now! I would come home during the mid semester break in two weeks if it wasn’t so god damn expensive!! But lots and lots of love to you all – you know who you are!

Cheers!

Week 3

Författare: admin

Yep, now I’ve been at Swinburne Uni for 3 weeks. And I’m starting to get used to all the reading and writing. But I still feel like I don’t have enough time to do all the things I have to every day. Guess I’m maybe taking it a little too serious… but this is something that will build my future!

Stayed after school to catch up with some uni friends the other day! Had a coffee at a café near school with Maja and Freya, I had a really great time so thank you so much Maja for organizing it :) We’ll have to do that again soon!

But it’s not all good… something terrible happened yesterday and I still can’t believe it did. It’s so terribly sad and it’s hard not to think about it. Don’t know what to say but Rest in Peace Robert Marian, you were a great, nice, funny and loved person.  You are missed!

For an assignment in one of my subjects (Digital Literacies) I have built (with a little help from my wonderful boyfriend) another website. It’s like a journalistic portfolio. Feel free to check it out – still working on it thou, so it’s not much up on it yet. Go to melinasvoice.com

Cheers!

Everyone has a story

Författare: admin

I started thinking alot about all sorts of things when I was on my way home from school today. Everyone on this planet has a story, a background. And what ever that story may be, it probably have changed the person. So I started thinking about my own story, and how it changed me. Unfortunately I didn’t come up with too much ”good” things.

When I was little, I loved the attention. I did performances for my family, participated in school plays and dancing events. I was a leader – and I loved it! I’m not gonna expose what happened next, but I think that that ”thing” changed who I am – a lot.

Now I’m a shy and nervous young woman – struggling to get my god damn confidence back, and I’ve been that person for a very long time now, and I’m starting to wondering if I’m ever gonna be able to go back and be the person I really am. The girl who had a dream of becoming an actress! A girl who didn’t want anything else but show the world what she can do.

It’s not really as sad as it may look, but sometimes I wish things were different. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy, and I’m glad I’ve come this far. But I’m just wondering where I would be if  things didn’t play out as it did in my past. Guess I’ll never know!

Hello again Swinburne

Författare: admin

Yep, I’m back at Swinburne again! My second week begins on Monday. So far it’s all good. I’m looking forward to start studying for real, but I already know it’s gonna be very hard, don’t think I’m gonna have much free time. But – school is not supposed to be easy I guess, and I can’t wait to get a degree in Bachelor of arts (journalism) :)

I’ve been doing some thinking… and I think I’ll have a problem after 3 years (if everything goes as planned), and that is money,( lol its always money), but I mean paying back my loans. With a full time job in Sweden it wouldn’t be a problem, I would still be able to move out from my parents, pay rent and pay back my loans. But can I really do that here in Australia? It’s too expensive to move out here, people under 30 here move back to their parent because they can’t afford paying the rent. That’s crazy…. :/ Maybe I shouldn’t worry about it now.. but can’t help but wondering how that’s gonna work for me

Besides that – I’m fine, I’m a little homesick and I’m having ups and downs. But I don’t regret coming back. AND I will try to update more often, promise!

Cheers
