Reality Bites Back

I don't know why, but there is something I find aesthetically pleasing in the picture to the right... A "sculpture" Ivan made with my bag underneath the cushions when I left to get snacks for our little physics study group. He said that the the three chairs were worshipping the chair god.

It's been around two weeks now since I started school once again. It's amazing how time flies so quickly. Already I've done so much. Reality bites back.

I know that during the winter break I pretty much made myself promise to write often but already as school started, that promise kinda went downhill. At least I'm trying, that's why I'm writing now! One promise that hasn't failed though which is rather encouraging, is that I have decided to go to church everyday with Teresa. I have been doing that for two weeks now, actually since the very very first day of school, the day before my mom's birthday!

It was an odd first day of school I think. I felt really uncomfortable, like something was missing. So I decided to go to church and pray for my future term, and for my mom's birthday. I went to mass in Domkyrkan and tried to pray the rosary afterwards but I got kicked out, so I went to mass once again at St. Eugenia and THEN completed my rosary. It felt nice doing that, and wondered if I could do it everyday. I wouldn't want to do it alone though, so I thought I could go with someone, like Teresa... Out of the blue I saw Teresa after mass, then we decided together to go everyday (except Saturdays :P).

It was very satisfying to go to two masses that day. It was just a spur of the moment decision for me. I feel like it is necessary to hopefully be able to have yet another successful year. So, I want to continue that feeling, lift my problems and thank God for my blessings during my daily life everyday at 18.00 in St. Eugenia. Afterwards, like a simple reward for another day passed, a small "fika" and chat-time in McDonalds with Teresa (sometimes with other people from church too) fits rather well, making the entire daily journey complete.

Reality bites back rather quickly, and already I have accustomed my daily routine for the next six months. I can already feel the summer coming!
