Dear Reader(s),
So I just ate my overpriced salad and drank my vanilla latte and thought to myself, god I hate high schoolers who visit and create long lines that prevent me from waiting for my usual sandwich. I have no patience.
Anyway, a few new things have happened since my last blog entry. First of all, I dropped one of my classes with one of the prof's I can't understand. Let's just say, it was impossible, that and I have been feeling a little overwhelmed.. which leads of the the second new thing in my life. I am applying for a Visa to live in Sweden in the fall. Yes I know I said this whole thing about school, but that doesn't seem like it will work out.
GOD DAMN IT THERE IS A PHONE WILL NOT STOP RINGING IN THE HALL!
sorry, anyway, Martin and I decided, with a little help from his mamma, that I should just apply for a residency permit and attend Swedish classes not through the college, then reapply for spring school. This brings us to the applications. Man, they really ask some weird questions like "Explain how you first met, with great detail, of where, when, and how". Of course martin wants this story that reads out like a romance novel.
Martin's ideal version
Mariah and I met on New Year's Eve, 2007. We were both attending the same New Year's party in Eskilstuna, Sweden and that was the night our lives were fated, nay, destined to be intertwined. I looked at her, she looked at me and it was love at first sight. We spent the entire party holding each other's hands, looking into each others eyes and talking about our hopes, fears, dreams, and aspirations. The hours melted away, neither one of us realizing the time. It was just her and I in that moment, someone even had to remind us to go outside for the New year to come in. We stood outside, the snow gently falling around us, the candles lighting a path below us, and we smiled at each other as the fireworks lit up the sky. We swigged our champagne and made our way inside to savor the last moments of the night. We were forever changed and from then on, we knew we would spend the rest of our lives together.
Mariah's Visa version
Martin and I met on December 31, 2007 through a mutual friend at a party in Eskilstuna, Sweden. We saw each other several times before my departure back to the U.S. on January 8, 2008. We decided that we would maintain a relationship although long distance and have so since.
Anyway, it's a very long process, and it will take 6-8 months to process. We both have to be interviewed too! That should be interesting.......
Well I have to go to photography class now and enter the scary world that is the HAAS fine art center, even pass the lovely portrait hanging on the wall entitled "Victor's Penis", of well, you get the picture. (pun intended)
love love love
