Happy Christmas and Happy Nomination!

Posted by: multiculturalwannabe on: December 24, 2008

It was actually snowing outside today, and it will be dark outside in one hour. I’m at my parents home and tomorrow we will leave, but I will be back after one week (approximately). I’m starting to become myself again; I actually decided to bring a skirt with me to the trip, not a short one, [...]

I can understand her

Posted by: multiculturalwannabe on: December 20, 2008

I don’t know why I wanted to be her friend. Maybe because she was cute or something. Maybe because she seemed nice.
Anyway, she became my acquaintance for a short period of time,  I did never know her much, but she was always nice. Then she started to ignore me and she was not nice to [...]

Det är inte hela världen

Posted by: multiculturalwannabe on: December 19, 2008

En gång skrev en vän att jag inte var invandrare för att jag inte hade band till Indien, eller något sådant. Jag blev förbannad. Vad har det liksom med saken att göra? Jag föddes utanför Sverige, alltså är jag invandrare, punkt slut, det spelar ingen roll vad för kultur eller religion eller nationalitet/er jag har.
Ordet [...]

The nomination again

Posted by: multiculturalwannabe on: December 18, 2008

Seriously, I don’t know why I’m not happy because of my nomination. I have been dreaming about it for seven years, more or less, and I have taken the application process very seriously, attending information meetings by International Office etc. And just three days ago I was really nervous for the nomination! But when I [...]

I am angry for no reason

Posted by: multiculturalwannabe on: December 18, 2008

My head is going to explode. I don’t care anymore. I don’t even want to read more storied from adopted people to my paper.
I’m angry but have no reason. I’m freaking out on nice people today. If I’m smiling it feels like a fake smile.
I don’t even care about the nomination letter even I should [...]

Studying abroad 11: A seven year old dream and I don’t care?

Posted by: multiculturalwannabe on: December 17, 2008

I’m nominated to the US. It may seem weird, but I don’t care much about my nomination. I don’t know why. I’m happy, I’m really very happy about it, I just can not feel it.
And I have been dreaming about this since seven years. Seven years. But if I’m talking about it, that I maybe [...]

Studying abroad 10: THE NOMINATION

Posted by: multiculturalwannabe on: December 16, 2008

Today the International Office put up the lists outside their office! I didn’t know that until Karolina told me that it seemed like some people had come to know about their nomination. I checked outside the International Office and there was a bunch of paper on the notice board!
I didn’t even become nervous because I [...]

The nomination letter, international adoption

Posted by: multiculturalwannabe on: December 15, 2008

Ghaaa I should think about something else than the bloody nomination letter! I’m freaking nervous! Even I didn’t think much about it over the last four weeks. I rather think about Hamas than the nomination letter (even the nomination letter is more nice and pleasant to be obsessed with). But now I have another interesting [...]

Hamas 21th birthday, unfortunately, and I’m kind of brainwashed :(

Posted by: multiculturalwannabe on: December 14, 2008

Admit it; my English sucks. How can I ever study abroad??? I was dreaming about the nomination letter AGAIN and I woke up before I opened it. I’m thinking that when I will recieve the letter I will be too nervous to open it.
It’s Hamas 21th birth day. Unfortunately. And who cares about that except [...]

Nomineringsbeskedet och blandade känslor

Posted by: multiculturalwannabe on: December 12, 2008

Det är mindre än en vecka kvar till nomineringsbeskedet, det snöar ute och jag orkar inte skriva på engelska idag. I morse drömde jag om nomineringsbeskedet men jag vaknade innan jag fick veta vad det stod… lika bra det kanske. Jag tänker på det med någon sorts blandade känslor, att jag både vill läsa utomlands [...]
