Caught in a tornado

Today's been a very busy day. I was happy to learn that our class didn't start at 08.10 as usual but 9 which gave me some extra sleep, sometime I was in dire need of. Unfortunately I still had to get up pretty early since they stop serving breakfast at 8 >_<
Without sounding all too negative I have to say that these so called lectures that we attend every day is pretty much worthless. The only thing I appreciated was the short briefing on how our future might be affected by the defection of out defence minister (that coward!).

After dinner I went to a choir practice for the first time in my life and it rocked! Well, not exactly rocked :shady: But we had a lot of fun. And the cantor was awesome. So I'll probably keep going every monday as long as my schedule allows it.

Im slightly nervous about our examination that will be handed out on thursday and is due on wednesday next week. I have absolutely no idea what it will be about and that kinda scares me. But Im fastly determined to do as much of the work as possible on thursday and friday since Im going to Oslo on saturday to spend the weekend+ with a very wonderful person! I still feel like I really need to get away from this place as much as can. Hopefully that will change in time but right now Im not sure what I'd do if I didn't have that to look forward to. And despite all of the turbulence around that weekend Im sure it'll work out for the best. I'll do my very best to make sure that's the case!

Oh mother crap, it's late ;_; Not much sleep today either it seems. AAAAARGH!

Sleep well my fellow nightowls.

The road im on



It seems like I haven't been very active on here lately. For some reason that always happens when I get a new blog, I write in it a couple of times and the forget all about it =/ Me in a nutshell. But whatever, it's not like anyone ever reads this anyway.

My life has gone through a rather big change this past few weeks. First I spent some sort of introduction week at the flightschool in Linköping which was awesome. I seriously can't wait to start there in a year! xD What struck me as out of the ordinary, atleast when talking about the swedish military, was the mentality of the teachers and the extremely pedagogical build-up of the training there.
I even got a back-seat ride in one of their sk-60's (the plane I'll start flying when I get there) and it was SOOO COOL! And oh so different from the Cessna planes Im used to fly. You could see so much more since the canopy has the shape of a bubble. Even got to feel some g-forces, 4.5 to be more exact. A real motivation boost!

After all of this it was a huge changeover for the worse to start at Karlberg in Stockholm the following week. The courses couldn't be less interesting and I feel like I don't have that much in common with a lot of people here ;_; I need to see stuff from the bright side for a change instead of only thinking about the downsides. Because there ARE a few things on the positive-list. First of all this place offers an incredible amount of pastime activities like kayaking, shooting, a top-class gym, some very nice running tracks, climbing, riding (although that's not entirely certain yet), fencing (trying that for the first time later today xD), choir practice (same with that ;) and I was even informed that there's a music room somewhere on the premisis.

So yes, HAPPY THOUGHTS OLIVER!!!

But what really keeps me going is the weekends. Im in love with a totally wonderful and amazing person and if it wasn't for her Im not sure I would come out of these first couple of weeks with my sanity still there. Whenever I feel like I wanna give up I just think of her and that provides me with the motivation I need to carry on.
This being said, it still ain't just pink skies and bumblebees for even as the thought of her is enough to make me want to dance naked on the rooftops I still miss her almost constantly. And missing someone that much, as Ive come to understand, really consumes a LOT of energy. But I guess it would be weird and utterly unnatural if I didn't. It's a two-edged sword, that stuff.

Uh oh, it's getting really late and I have school tomorrow >_<>

I'll try to update this blog a bit more often from now on. Until then, stay safe, it's a dangerous world we live in!

Peace to y'all! (and love to a special someone <3)
Over and out!
