I just need to tip about a lovely column that a friend of mine sent me. It's about how people underestimate you and seem to percieve you as weak when you are feminine and "girly". Both me and my friend are both quite girly and have a very "cute" style with bows, pastels, and so on, and we really recognize ourselves in this text.
I love bows, and have maybe 10 different hair-bows, but I've also noticed that people seem to categorize me very easily because of this feminine style. This is what Julia Gazdag writes about in her column.

Best grandmother ever
I couldn't go out last night, so instead I stayed home taking Voltaren and watching movies. Now when I checked Facebook I see that everyone went to a glow in the dark-party and it was apparently the most amazing night ever??
No, I'm not bitter, not at all.
Anyway, my day got a lot brighter this morning when a package landed in my mailbox. Since it was decided quite late that I was going to Sweden for Easter, my grandmother had sent me Swedish chocolate. I seriously have the best grandmother in the world. Who needs a glow in the dark-party now, huh?

Done
Finally!
I am now officially done with the first year of ICM and next Tuesday term 4 and the second year begins! It felt a bit like graduation day today, partly because everyone were all dressed up, and also because of the tension in the air. When we came to school a bit earlier to practice the pitch, we met groups everywhere who were either waiting to present or waiting outside for feedback. Everyone was so hyped up!
Our pitch went good and afterwards we finished and handed in the brand concept plan. It feels soooo good! I won't party hard tonight though, since I'm still taking Voltaren regularly for my back. I read somewhere (Google is my friend) that in combination with alcohol it can cause stomach bleedings and other nasty stuff. I'd rather not take the risk.
I just realized that this is the first time I can go home to Sweden without having to think about school all the time. Considering how hard we've worked this term, we really deserve it.

This is it!
Today at 14.00 we have the final pitch for the project and then we're DONE. I'm going to talk about our field research, insight, and sub-brands. The best thing about this is that we all know it by heart since we've been basically living this project for the last two months.
Oh, and the best part: After this pitch, I have completed my 60 credits that are necessary to get my first year diploma! A lot to celebrate today when we're done, and there are going to be quite some parties going on around the city tonight...
Tomorrow night I'll go to Sweden, so life couldn't be better right now.

Last minute tickets
I just booked tickets to Sweden for Wednesday. Quite spontaneous, but I really miss everyone plus I need to go to a chiropractor for my back. It hasn't gotten better, and today a girl crashed into my bike outside school. I'm completely numbed by Voltaren, so I can't really tell yet if the crash made it even worse or not. Uh. Tomorrow we have the pitch and then I'm free.
Last project meeting
Yesterday I went for a quick shopping round with a friend after the project meeting, and somehow I managed to forget my bag from Sephora inside the warehuse. How anyone can ever be so stupid is beyond me. Anyway, they closed when we left so today I have to be there when they open and just hope that it's still there. So typical me...
Tomorrow is the final pitch for the project and after that I can gladly inform you that I won't bother you with phrases like "today I had a project meeting again". My plans for the Easter holiday are very unclear right now, we'll see what happens. It's going to be extremely nice to have a break from school anyway!

Summer blonde
Last night me and my friend had a little hair salon going on here. She cut my hair and colored it, so now it looks a lot healthier, and more suitable for the summer. I don't know why really, but my hair gets so dark during the winter. Anyway, now I'm summer blonde again!
