Sweden: December the 26th - January the 5th

Just got the tickets!

What do you thing? My second New Years in Sweden!

This time I hope to see all the people I didn't see last time in September-October. And I really hope to not to be a load for them...

So things are great over here, it seems I won't get the internship (well, I still could fight a bit for it) but I got a great thesis work instead, they don't pay, but it's a great thesis work in the "Aerospace Engineering department".

And yes, things are great, as great as they can be without Her around here, but the end of this distance period is aproaching. This will be my last year studying (by now, I want to have a PhD and be called "Doctor" haha, but that will be in the future) and it means a lot of change.

I may tell you more about those changes soon, we will see how everything goes.

Be awesome!

Lunch outside

Hey you!

Today in a little rest I'll write you about what we (my family and I) did yesterday: to have lunch outside. Yes, again!

That is such a typical thing to do in Spain. Food here is great and cheap, which makes Sundays (nobody works on Sundays, just bars) perfect to make a small "celebration" and have lunch outside in family.

We went to a grill bar quite close from where I live and had grilled meat. Also some gambas (shrimps) with a beer to make the stomach start working. 2 big pieces of meat, a dish to share between my brother and me (consisting in a piece of almost every kind of meat they had), the shrimps, 5 beers and 1 fanta, every dish with grilled potatoes and sauce for just a bit more than 30€, isn't that great? Because all 4 of us got quite full (and you have to put a lot of food on the table to make me and my brother full).

So, if you are coming to Spain I recomend you to experiment a meal like this, because it's just a part of our culture, a very good part I must say hehe.

Be awesome!

Onsdag

Idag det är onsdag, och idag har jag pluggat jättemycket.
Jag vill lära mig svenska, men det är inte lätt. Jag saknar Sverige, det är mitt andra hem därför att där Simone bor, och jag älskar henne!

And yes, I did that without the translator! Well, almost, I had to look "andra" or "second" (if it's correct).
Days continue here, mornings studying, afternoons at class until 21:00, then back home, some workout, shower, dinner and talk with Her unless She is not working while I give a look to my things (my thesis mainly or other projects I have to finish). After that, around 23:00 or 23:30 I study at least a half an hour of Swedish everyday, which is why I'm improving (I hope) my skills.

I'll know soon if I get the internship or not, both are good news, why? Because if I get it I get it, and that's a good new, it's a job, which implies money and experience. If I don't get it I'll have more time to study, which is great too haha!

A picture for today: My Sunday great steak! Just meat on the fire and awesome potatis :)

May the awesomeness be with you!

Finally weekend

Saturday arrived, after such a long week.

And I get more and more work to do, as I like hehe (I don't have any other option so...).
I don't have much to say today, things are quite normal over here, winter is arriving (jeans time) and days are shorter and nights longer.

Today was the first time I have seen my father in a whole month, long time (I went to Sweden and while I was there he went to work for 3 weeks to another city, Melilla, in Africa). So today we are having lunch outside.

That's such a typical thing here, you can have lunch outside quite often because it's not expensive, food is good and there are bars and restaurants everywhere! I read that there is a bar in Spain for each 10 inhabitants, too much (that's one of the reasons why we will suffer this crysis for 15 or 20 years more).

But well, for me life looks quite great. I have discovered that the more effort I make to get things, the more things I get done and the better they are done. So let's keep making an effort for this final year (8 months already!) and let's find an awesome place to live the awesome life :)

I hope you like the new design and colours of the blog, I tried it last time and I think it looks fine. Be awesome!

Monday

Good day to start the week,

Since I'm here I'm back to the routine and I'm working quite hard (it's easy, I have a ton of things to do). Among others I have already started my thesis work, which makes me quite enthusiastic and well, preparing and studying subjects because this semester I won't have all the exams in January-February, some of them will be during the semester so that's good, it means that maybe I can afford to spend a week in Sweden for New Years!

What about being here? How is it for me?
Well, I have my friends here, we went out on Friday and it was a well-needed thing by me, to have friends around always helps to ease down the unavoidable (what a word! but I didn't make it up, it really exists) pain that you feel when you miss someone as I do. To have friends around is always good, overall when you know they are true friends and even more when you have a couple of beers in a bucket full of ice hehe.

What about Sweden?
I don't know, I'm sorry but I still don't know how it will go. Maybe I go there for New Years, as I said above, maybe not. I really would like to be there by then, let's just wait and see how it goes. It would be nice to see her and her family (such a long time since I don't see them). I hope you don't feel that I'm abusing your confidance, but it's a family that I feel I'm a part of. An awesome family.

Here I let you a picture of what keeps me always so strong, what keeps me pushing no matter what:

So this is it, my Monday small update, have a nice week and keep awesomeness alive wherever you go!

Pictures i Småland

Since last one was just all text I let you some pictures now about that incredibly great trip, I'm back to my ultra-busy life here (thesis work, maybe a job and a lot of things to study). I can't avoid to miss her very much, overall in a day like this in which we have been together for 2 years and 10 months! How awesome is that?

Almost 3 years together, a lot of experiences and so many good moments, here I have some of the most recent ones:

Be awesome and always Keep Pushing!

Back in Sevilla

Hello there,

Here I am, back in the city where I use to live. In the university where I have just started my 6th (and last) year studying. What about my trip? There are so many things to tell.
First I landed in Malmö airport, where I bought the bus ticket to Lund (and I did it in Swedish!). Once in Lund I had to deal a bit with the crazy spâr thing, the train stations, the trains that go in the same direction but don't stop in Växjö and so. But I did it! I got a ticket and I sat in the train to Växjö! In first class! (actually I think that I shouldn't be there, but nobody said anything when they checked my ticket so... And I didn't find the second class part of the train).
Then I had the most beautiful vision that one can have in their life, to see Her waiting for me in the tâgstation in Växjö. It was then when it started to be really good, she really is a light in my life and always makes me smile and laugh.

Her flat is small but nice, the rooms have a decent size and they are quite ok. I got to unlock the oven with a screwdriver (an engineer can do a lot of things with a screwdriver, keep that in mind) and we were able to bake cookies (in which I think I'm quite good), make pizzas and well, now it's unlocked. I also decided to fix her chair.
Something about me: I always fix things when they are not straight, plenty working or anything, I like everything to work fine and to be in its possition, I'm kind of maniatic (right Simone?), but I'm not too much, I'm not too crazy :-)
So, we also went to sing in her choir, it's quite nice and something I'd love to do in the future, people liked my voice.

Time there was uncredibly great. It just feels so natural to be at her side, spending some cozy time watching TV on the sofa, a very simple and easy thing that we can barely do... To live with her feels like the right think to do, instead of being here in Sevilla studying, this feels like something temporal, like something is going to finish quite soon (and I hope so).
Walks, nice dinner at home, to have lunch outside, to go shopping... Things people do all the time and that they don't notice how nice they are, I guess it is true what they say, that we value more what we can't have. So be it, I have enjoyed every single second I have spent with Her, even when we did the tiniest little thing in the world. It really feels like home when I'm with Her.

Just so you know, my plan is to finish my studies here while I learn kickass Swedish (I'm studying it as if it was another subject in my degree), get a kickass job and live there with Her (or at least quite close). Right now I'm doing my best here, I have information to start my thesis work and things to study. I hope I get the internship so I can save some more money for next year.

I know, a lot of text and no pictures... Maybe tomorrow I show you some of the pictures I took there (many of them are mushrooms, but I'm so not used to see them!). Also much more personal than other times, well, right now I feel much more personal (but not loosing awesomeness at all).

Be awesome and be ready, because I'm coming.
