Vingt Jours

I'm back again!

Took some time off... I figured I deserve it.
Nothing too interesting has happened here, that's also why. The life in the office at AES-IC is not as exciting as one might think!

Ok, to do a quick recap of what has been going on:

* A saturday was spent in Eastern Turkey, Ezercan to be exact. A family day was organized for the operations people. There was dance, speaches, kareoke, food, beer, vinagear type wine and rope pulling. I also saw my first power plant over there. Not as impressive as one might think. Like a waterslide and a pool!! (It's one of those river ones, not the impressive huge constructions)

* Other free days have been spent with D and the family. Shopping, food, wine and even some walking.

* There was an incident with eggs, a hammer, a punch, some serious threatening, and some craigslist stuff. But no worries, it seems to have calmed down now.

* We went to Konya this weekend, the parents, D and I... we watched some monks spin around in, according to them a traditional dance, according to me; random spinning. It was pretty, I was a bit tipsy from the wine... it made the event a whole lot funnier!

* The marriage comments continues. It's quite hilarious, so far I've been called his wife, we've been told we will for sure get married by random person, and most of the few people that knows tend to agree with that.
It's quite funny, we pretty much gave up on fighting it and just laugh.

Anywho... that would be what has happened the past 20 days, not too much if you see it that way.
If you look the progression of a certain thing then A LOT has happened since then.
It's amazing, I am extremly happy... haven't been this happy with someone in a very long time. Which is weird to say, because I have been happy with people... this is just to a new, much higher level.
Plans are being made, realistically; who knows... but I know I want it to happen!!!
And yes, this kinda means I am in a relationship. If you're around Sweden in the middle of July you might get a glimps...

Anywho, enough about that, I'm sure you don't really care.

Tomorrow Los parents are off to London to visit Maria Esperanza... Maria Esperanza is all done with school now. Bettina Esperanza graduated from Engineering school last week, and got herself an awesome job a few days before.
I am incredibly proud of my sisters!
If I haven't said it before, I am very happy for Anna-Karin and Fredrik too, they're having a bby!!
And Helena too... and congratulations to Elin who had her bby and whoever else I forgot!

This weekend there might be a trip planned, but that depends... not on me... but on the other person. Hopefully I will be able to get away for a bit! It would be very nice.
Next weekend is Boras wedding... I already know what I will wear... I am gonna try to outshine the bride... haha... just joking!

Have fun!

I know, I know...

Lost again... Seems like my mind is on something else,
- or someone else to be accurate.

My amazingly eventful internship at the AES office have now started.
The first week consisted of helping out in the IT-support department; i.e. I read the news and gave feedback to Mustafa. He very much appreciated that.
To show his appreciation he made me organize the 4th floor storage room.
I was wearing a skirt and high heals.
It was warm.
So to show him how increadibly motivated and thankful I was I marked the boxes with "Stuff", "More Stuff" and "Things that could be found in a hardware store".
I am mature!
The rest of the week was enjoyed at the Divan hotel. AES organized a safety conference.
It was me and about 25 engineers, managers.
We made scorecards and learnt how to do a perfect safety walk on site, I've never been on a site, let alone will I ever do a safety walk.
But I learnt something.

So on monday when I came to the office, we applied everything we'd learnt the week before.
I managed to walk into a glass door.
In my defence it was transparent, extremley clean and did NOT exist when I left the office on friday.
Since this saftey hazard was found, actually it was a near miss; I never actually bumped into the door, my reflection scared me when I was about 2 cm away, Mustafa took imediate action and put up tape so that the door could be seen.
The safety hazard had been eliminated!
Dan tells me people do this so that birds don't fly into windows.
Does that mean he compares me with a bird?
If so, I would like to be a Swan; gracious yet a bit bitchy!

Other than that I managed to pass all my classes up at Bilkent. I am happy and surprised.

Last weekend was spent with someone really special. It was very nice.
Having wine when with a special person could never go wrong.

I'll try to give more regular update, like I used to!
