Ok, I've just booked my flight to Malaga. I will be leaving this rain next Monday. Until then, I guess I just have to do as much as I can with all the things I always have to do :)

I guess I should write, now that I sent in my first article to Norska magasinet. It's nervous because I'm not really sure my article turned out to what they wanted. I really hope it did. Nowdays I let the article kind of decide what it's gonna be about, they always turn out best in that way. I start iwth a frame, an idea of what the beginning, middle and ending should be about and a reason why that's important. But the reason stays in my head, as something to keep me writing. But as the work prograss, stuff can happen, I may not find information, the information I have may be wrong or not actually suit. Then I have to change and take another direction and the article kind of does that by itself, I just try to keep it on track, with a content that have reason.

I just want to make it clear that I don't want a vacation buddy, I want a moving buddy. It's not that I don't understand that people has other stuff they rather do than move to Spain with me. Of course  understand that it is scary as hell to just stop their life and go and do something completely else. It is scary, it's really scary. And I do understand that people don't just sit around, doing nothing and waiting for something to happen. Everyone have responsibilities that they can not leave. But please, don't tell me you want to if you don't plan to actually do it...

I woke up at noon today and when I looked out the sky was white and grey, my computer say it's 17 C outside. I guess even the birds and the animals are avoiding the bad weather because it is completely silent outside. My mom had the radio on when she's making lunch, atleast some kind of sound. This is really depressing and I feel like staying under a blanket and watch tv. But I promised myself to have my article done for today and to get my tradera account ready for selling stuff.

Ok, today has been a day of rest. I'm still a bit confused of getting back in Sweden. It feels like I have been gone forever and no time at all. Sometimes I question what is real and not, maybe not that extreme but you know when the feeling of "am I really doing this/ did I really do that" appear.

Sadly enough, I'm back in Sweden. But I'm planning to organize everytthing to go back as fast as I can. Not that I don't want ot be in Sweden in general, I just like to be in Spain more. The first thing I need to do is to get a plane ticket, or maybe get S to come with me... :) then I need to keep my deadline the 1 of September. I started at the airport and I am quite satisfied with the result. I need to do some researching, grammar correction and make the text come even more alive and then of course edit my photos.

My plane leaves from 6 am tomorrow from Alicante so we are gonna drive up there today and sleep as much as we can at a hotel there so that Mr M doesn´t have to drive in the middle of the night up there and then in the early morning drive back to Malaga, without getting any sleep. I don´t know if there´s gonna be so much sleep anyway, my traveling nerves always keep me up, but I´m not the one driving anyway.

We went uphill to were all the tourists look at Malaga. the original idea was to go by day and by foot but it ended with us going by night and by car. Lazy people, I know. It was cool to see the entire city from up there and with be bull fight arena in the middle. The feira is in the top right corner, the only thing you see is a small blue light, which is the farris wheel, I guess. Only half of the city got cought in the picture, but it is the half with the bull fight and the feria, the other half didn´t really have anything, as far as I could see.

Ok, I got an article. :) Happy, happy me!!!

Okay, I got another job interview. Kind of. I tihnk I already told that theey already said that they don´t have any jobs but they might want me as a freelancer, and that would be awseume. I really hope i get something, I´m gonna be at my best. the interview is at 3 pm so I have to go and get ready now. I haven´t eating anything the whole day so I need to do that to.

I guess the thing you miss is the last fun thing you did. For me, that is now my year at ETSU, Johnson city, USA. When I first came to US I wanted to return immidiatly, but I wanted to return to what I had before the summer. My life in Karlstad in my dorm and being a student at Karlstad University. i was really comfortable with that life and I didn´t wanna loose that at all. But all my friends were more or less getting finished with their studies and moving on with their life so i had to do that to and going to the US was a way to prospone the grown-up life. Actually, I spend my first three or four days crying, calling my mom, asking why I´m doing this. I also wrote in my blog that I wanted to go home and I don´t see the use of this at all. But time went by and now I´m sitting here, missing my life in US like  crazy. I grew comfortable with that life too and now I want to go back there.

I discovered in US that crepes is pancakes, every where but in Sweden. In Sweden, crepes is a filled pancake with melted cheese. A pancake in US is, of course, those fat ones with syrup and fruit and crepes are the thins ones, the ones we in Sweden call pancakes.In Spain, pancakes doesn´t exist at all. The American pancakes are American, obviously and those ones that are pancakes in Sweden are called crepes. I have to say that I thought that crepes was a french dish, but when a guy from france made pancakes in US, he as well called them crepes. So my conclusion is that crepes, that will say, a pancake filled with something and put in the owen with cheese, is a Swedish invention.

I´ve been trying a lot of really typical food since I came. I´ve been hearing a lot of all the typical stuff. There´s more typical stuff than food, places and clothing as well. Today was my last typical experience. Tomorrow we are gonna go to the arabic castle in Malaga, but that is very turistic so it doesn´t count as a reaaaally typical thing (atleast that´s what I hear). Anyway, the last typical thing was not so much the food but the way of serving. we went to a place where they shouted out the dishes and you had to call the waiter to get that dish. No menues, no personal plates. Everything for everybody and every plate had its own thing, it could be fish, schrimps, squid, octupus or something else they found in the sea. It was a kind of stressful way of eating and sometimes it could take some time before the dish you wanted passed by screaming but the schrimps and the company was good so I didn´t mind. After that we went for ice cream but as my stomach doesn´t go well with dairy I had a slushy instead, not very typical but atleast it was lemon.

... would have been nice, but for now I have to be satisfied with lotion on a bottle. I´m starting a new rutin with putting a lot on me every morning. I´m red but not really badly burned. Later today we´re gonna go to the pool and I hope for two things, cooling down my skin and get some sun so that I can even out my so called tan.

After spending basically all my days here waking up around one-ish and leaving the house at two, three-ish, I felt that it was time to be a full time tourist and go to the beach for the whole day and get red as a freaking lobster. So I told my mr M(wich is by the way, the mr who I am staying with and basically the mr who opened my eyes for leaving Sweden and getting a job here instead) and he thought it was a good day to. We decided to wake up early. At eleven. I love that eleven is early in the morning here. My aunt told me to get my butt out of bed and eat breakfast when she called and woke me up at eleven in Sweden before I left. Because I basically wasted the whole day. Early at eleven, one of my favorite things.

Ok, even though I am looking for a job this is also kind of an vacation and prats of it is spend in the beach and parts of it is spend in the feria. It´s crazy and really fun. A lot of people are dressed in the typical spanish dress and myself have got a flower and one of those wavy things for the heat. They are so beautiful in those dresses and the kids are adorable. Everybody are drinking and I don´t think I have never seen or heard about more "typical" things for a place. Typical drinks, typical food, typical places and typical clothing. It´s all very typical and I like everything.

As for now, everything is not going that great... I got kind of an job interview but as I expected the fact that I don´t know Spanish is against me. It did feel like he wanted me to get in touch when I do know Spanish, but that doesn´t really do any good right now. So, that´s one paper down. I also got an answer from the Swedish school in Marbella but the told me, thanks but no thanks. I have one phonecall to do while I´m here but that is pretty much it, after that there´s the Swedish radio station but they don´t start until September and the rest of them have not answered me, yet.

I have arrived. I didn´t get any sleep last night so after seven hours of car ride and three hours of flight, I am dead tired. It is hot here and I am afraid that I´m not gonna get to much sleep anyway.

Finally I'm done with the job at the pizzeria. I did my last day yesterday and today I have been packing and sending job application emails. I have sent applications to;

Finally, I got a job in Sweden so that I can pay for the flight ticket and my stay in the beginning in Spain. I'm busting my ass in the local pizzeria. It was seven years or so since the last time I was there. It is defenitly an experience and the people in this town is a kind of it's own. I'm happy I got that job, cus it's only for a week.
