Storms and cuts

The weeks are passing faster and faster - which I always feel is the case when you want them to go slower. Right now I want the weeks to go slower because I have my statistics exam on the 15th. Now it's basic statistics, and I shouldn't have any problems passing it.... but there's a lot hanging on this. So I am a bit stressed.
The Chocolate ball

Stress = not good when you're pregnant. I have been feeling dizzy, nauseous, had headaches and sick for the past few days.
I even had to cancel classes yesterday.
Today my two first classes went well, and we even "baked" chokladbollar. Not bad!
My last class of the day didn't show up, it was supposed to start 45 min ago... sucks - money wise, but it's nice to be able to rest for a bit.

My days now are a bit crazy, up early to study (for preferably 3-4h), then start cooking, cleaning, getting ready, lunch, then classes until night time, then cook and then bed.

A lot of standing up and moving around for me, with my excruciating back pain.
I am pretty sure I have "foglossning" = SPD <- click it and become smarter!
It is painful, but how do you make people understand how painful it is - no clue!
But it f*ckin hurts, I try to avoid walking, standing up, moving from one side to the other, turn, turn in bed, EVERYTHING, it still hurts... like a knife in you hip-back-ass.
We're off to see the doctor next Friday so we'll see what he says, until now he's just said that it's because of how I sit and I don't know what - even if all symptoms point to the SPD thing - not that he would know, he never had any follow-up questions to me saying my back is killing me.

Anywho... I will watch some shows now to relax and then start with the "cooking".
Btw, today we made meatballs - or I made meatballs, Memo helped me making the köfte.

Oh, also, on Tuesday the weather was so bad we didn't have electricity for maybe 1-2h in total... kinda sucked cus it happened during my last class and the girl was not only scared of the storm (thunder) but also the dark. Oh well...

Change

People do not like change, they do not welcome it. You learn this in business school.
But come on, every time facebook changes some feature people start complaining.
Don't you see how stupid it is?

If facebook would still have looked and functioned the way it did when I started using it in early 2007 it wouldn't have been as successful as it is today.

Don't you see how pathetic it is to each and every time complain - wanting the "old" to return, even if you complained about what the "old" was a year or so ago!?
In a year from now you will sit there in front of your computers writing "angry" statuses about the new changes - how it was better before.

Come on...
It's free, you don't have to use it... the low intelligence status updates are getting on my nerves.

Change is always needed in order to improve our lives - learn to accept it.

Now on to studying.

Studying

Oh yes... I am back to studying.

As some of you might know I have one exam left on my degree - Business Statistics 1.
I was supposed to take the re-exam in August, but it had to be postponed until October - the 15th to be exact.
I started properly studying today - I will have 3 weeks to prepare, it should be more than enough. I just need to make sure that the exam will be structured the same way as the previous ones were.

This weekend we took it easy - had some quality time for ourselves.
Memo bought Sophia's "first" (except for Nastia's bunny) stuffed animal, and I didn't want to be worse, and bought one tiny Elephant rattle kinda thing and a Tiny purple-pink penguin toy - which Memo has kept in the car hanging from the mirror.

We also took a look at some cribs - not to buy, but to see how they work. Memo is designing the crib for Sophia, and we wanted to check out the features that it should have and how to make them.
We also showed his dad the stroller, and he seemed to like it. We have decided to get it in pink - mostly because we could not decide on a color - Memo wanted blue and I wanted purple.
Worlds best family

It was a true family weekend for us - we talked to everyone in my family, and we spent almost all day yesterday with his.

This post was procrastinating.

Enjoy
