Life now

Everything has changed. Some days I'm high up in the sky, and so happy. Other days I'm so sad all I wanna do is be alone and watch sad movies on Netflix. 

Today was one of those days. A day where I didn't get out of bed before 11.15. A day where I forgot my things all over the room and I feel bad for my roommate because we both are usually pretty tidy and clean. I'm tired all the time lately. I don't know why..   I go to bed at a normal hour, get 8 hours of sleep. It might just be the food I eat i guess. Whatever..

But then there I days where I'm happy, where my classes are interesting and I meet more new people. I get things done and my homework is a breeze. I'm so happy, life is exciting and good!

But what is the bad days outweigh the good..? then what?

Arrival day

I wrote this a few weeks ago, but I never posted it. So sorry! I'm really gonna try to be better now that I've settled in at my dorm and everything. Thank you! :) 

I started my day like another. I took a shower, got dressed went to hang out with a friend. When I came back home I zipped up my suitcase, grabbed my carry-on bag and drove to the airport, and unlike any other time I have EVER gone to the airport, this time I’m not coming back until december. 

It all went well at the airport and I got to my flight in time. Now.. I had an 11 hour layover at JFK… 11 hours.. at night.. If only it had been during the day, I could’ve gone into the city. Lord knows I not gonna do that when it’s way past midnight, by myself. No thank you.  

So what I did was I wandered. back and forth and back and forth. I sat down at a diner at the airport terminal and charged my computer and phone, while I ate the most delicious mozzarella sticks I have ever had, all while desperately trying not to fall asleep… It was horrible! I have NEVER been so bored at an airport in my life... After 11 hours there I finally left for Minneapolis. I fell a sleep before the plane left the gate and 3 1/2 hours later I finally landed at st.paul airport, with all my luggage and I was about to get in a car with three strangers. My roommate, her mom and sister. Nothing scary.

We drop be straight to ikea,so I could got some stuff, like a duvet and a pillow and other small things that you don't care to pack in a suitcase that can only weigh about 40 pounds/ 20 kilo. We finally got everything we needed and left for my roommate's house just outside the city. It was so SURREAL! It's just like I've seen in movies and it was so exiting! Everything was interesting to look at, from how HUGE the roads were to how the houses were sat in a straight line to the next crossing. All i kept thinking was "This is all so American"  

Downtown Minneapolis

For the next few days I would a bit of jetlag, but nothing to bad. I won't bore you with those days because we really did not do much. I stayed at her house for three days before we packed up two cars and left for UND. I'll tell you about that later.

YES! FINALLY!

The visa FINALLY arrived, and I got my plane ticket! Oh MY GOD I'm so freaking excited! 

Yesterday My mom walks in to my room with a big envelope in her hands, and I immediately know that its my passport with my visa!  Now I have my visa and my plane ticket to Minneapolis, MN!   I have started packing and my biggest struggle in life is packing everything into a suitcase that can only weigh  20 kilo...  If any of you have any tips feel free to share them!   I'm trying to pack as much as possible without packing the stuff that I can buy in America.. so far I think its all good.



 I will update you later but I really have to pack something...

Wish me luck!

Until Next Time, Love CJ.

Good morning from me to you

Hope you all have chill and wonderful Sunday :)

Until Next Time, Love CJ. 

A confused-controlfreak ( WARNING: This is a Rant)

Enrolment - classes - plane tickets - visa - embassay. All key words to describe my life right now, and frankly i find it to a lot to take in and understand.

I have never had to sign up for ALL of my classes before, they were all jut set up before I even got to school. This whole enrolment system they have set up is too confusing ( I might just be overthinking it) but my brain is not functioning enough to actually get it done.

Not only that, the other day I realised that I need insurance, I still haven't gotten my passport back from the Embassy and there I have not booked a plane ticket.  I WANNA SCREAM!!!!!!!

I am a control freak like no other. I will plan trips MONTHS ahead in time and still double check everything the day before I leave. I need it to go flawless and - effortlessly. No shit is going down when CJ travels!!

I NEED THIS TO HAPPEN - YESTERDAY

Urg...

Until Next Time, Love CJ

Working gal

Lately I have been so busy at work that all I do when I get home is eat and sleep only to wake up and go back to sleep because I have to go to work early the next day.... There have been days where I have been so freaking tired that I had to stop the car on my way home to close my eyes for a few minutes. Haven't felt like this since finals week... *queue the baaaaad memories*. 

HOWEVER I just had two wonderful days off! I just chilled with mah best friend Netflix and a bag of chips.  I went into town to hang out with a friends that just moved in to a new apartment and we went shopping and did what the summer vacation is supposed to be like.  It was soo great to just not have any obligations for just a few days.  I bought a new pair of jeans, an iPad mini ( which I'm super excited about!) and some sweaters.  

There isn't much else to tell you about. Nothing big is happening in my life right now.  But next week..!! :))

Until next time, Love CJ 

Roomate!!

I got in contact with my american roommate!

Is it weird that I'm excited! I have been wondering for weeks who the person that I will be sharing a room with was going to be, and when she send me and email last week I got so excited I ran out to the living room and jumped (Yes, it's how you imagine it).
 AND!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally got started on my visa application! I said to myself that when I got back from grandma's I could start the process to be sure that nothing had to happen while I was down there. It is a very boring and looooong process, but I'm sooo excited! I feel like this is actually happening now. Of course I have know that I'm moving and everything, but it just hasn't felt true at all.. like I've been imagining everything somehow, you know?


This is just a short little update, but better than radio silence ;)

Until Next Time, Love CJ
