Sernandersväg 7 - 542 752 61 Uppsala (Flogsta)
why am I so upset about this (there's nothing I can do)
why am I panicking now what will I do when I get there
why am I so ugly and awkward
ugly, stupid, annoying child
I'd rather disappear

I've decided...
I want to keep a journal in writing while I'm away. something I can draw all over and paste pictures and collages, stickers, etc., note music, as well as write in (with cool pens of course) so over break I'll look for the perfect notebooks... it'll give me something to do, much better that going on the computer.
I need to fix up my wardrobe, etc. when I get home, that's the main thing
make sure I get there a couple days early too
there are still some things I need to finish up here, the last couple assignments, studying for finals, moving out, getting the last bits of paperwork in. everything feels so disorganized, I would like to just be DONE with everything but I don't think that's happening.

reading back through this blog, a little surprised how well things have worked out.
i would be ok now, except I lost my keys and don't have a ride to the airport this weekend which is causing me irrational amounts of anxiety.
why can't I just finish those papers, it's the last two assignments I have.
I can't wait to go home, clear my head, have a little restart

wait I'm actually getting really attached to these people... it would be so much easier to graduate earlier if I stayed.. should I stay?
FUCK it is way way WAY too late to be having these thoughts
I don't know what to do
edit: ok that's passed now, maybe. I just can't be excited for or look forward to anything, I just can't for some reason I think of all of the stuff I have to do

I talked to mom about my plans yesterday (for going abroad and grad school) , and... she was very approving. I was so surprised. She also said she was so impressed with how frugal I've been.
I have done extremely well on exams this year, and one of my essays was chosen as the best in class and posted online.
I managed to get the absentee ballot figured out, and I'm finally making progress on my visa application. My credits will (99% sure) work out, I can graduate when I want to.
I'm listening to regina spektor and remembering that day I saw her in Sweden, listening to Marina and the diamonds and being nostalgic for last year.
I spent all morning out walking, I discovered a neighborhood full of lovely houses with little gardens and lots of stone paths up in the hills, if it's not raining tomorrow I'm going to go up there again and wander. (wandering outside is so much better than spending my time procrastinating online)
these things make me happy I guess

my time on Gotland still holds some of my favorite memories. That day eating candies from a striped paper bag while wandering around Visby, and then sitting and drinking tea with Marie was just one of my favorite days ever. I listened to whatever they picked, so now I play adele or one direction to feel really nostalgic for Sweden. I was unabashedly being myself without thinking about it, without having thought about it for weeks, because there was no pressure to be a certain way? I really wonder if I'll feel the same when I go back.
I will go visit Jung Hee before I go to grad school.

It makes me sad to watch them, the way she touches his hair and says hello, and he always smiles a little shyly as if he's still surprised she's talking to him. I lay there on the gym floor, thinking
I'm going to stop eating, so I will become thinner, prettier, and a boy like that will love me.
I know this is not true, but subconsciously I think (hope) it will work. I lay there on the floor and think
there will never, ever be anyone for me
It seems as if I can almost see my life swelling before me, lonely, empty. I imagine someone smiling at me in that sweet way and tears well up. I remind myself that I don't need anyone else, but for some reason late in the evening I always feel soft and weak and sad. And I want, I want desperately but I can't say why. I don't know if it's me that wants or if it's what I've been told I should need.
They say it doesn't matter. There are so many people dedicated to telling the world "it doesn't matter how you look! it's whats on the inside that counts!" But the problem is, it does matter. Maybe someday it won't but it does now. Also, what if there isn't anything inside? I have to be prettier to make up for my lack of personality. But then I hate myself for buying into this scheme. Why should I have to be pretty? Why do I need another person to care about me? I shouldn't, I don't owe it to anyone! I don't, I do just fine on my own! but I am so disgusted with my body and with who I am, I cannot separate them. and I care about people so much, and I want to be loved by someone, so badly... and I am pathetic for thinking this way.
