The Moment of Truth

Strategy has been a rocky ride so far. As one group member left, we are now fewer people to complete the task. Tomorrow morning's meeting is crucial, but I have great faith that we will rise to the challenge. Pressure can actually get the best out of people - and that is what we have to prove now!

But first; sleep.



Today Simon has:

Listened to Simple Plan - What if...
Read slides from the eLP
Noticed that his group could be on its way of achieving something

Two Weeks

That is all that is left before I am going home. I have never really thought much about the fact that I am from Lapland, until I came to the UK. Lapland and Christmas is apparently a combo to die for.

I will most likely (unless Anton completely disagrees) get the opportunity to attend Korskyrkan in Stockholm the Sunday before Christmas. I went there quite regularly during my second year (out of three) in Stockholm. I really enjoyed Andrew Thompson's teaching and I look forward to listening to him again.

Today was also my penultimate Saturday working at GAME in Eldon Square, it has been a truly enjoyable experience.

My Swedish friend Anton will touch down in Edinburgh a couple of days before we leave for Sweden. I look forward to that, and I hope he will get the most out of his stay at Tyneside.

And then it is only three weeks until 2009. I wonder in what direction my values will go that year? 

Today Simon has:

Listened to some awesome covers 
Read not much
Noticed that he is disgusted by the THINK advert promoting the use of seat-belt.

Avundsjuk pa sig sjalv [Awundshook paw sey shelve]

I am actually quite envious of myself (is that proper English?). Not in a unhealthy way though. However that might change on the day the dissertation proposal is due. It might well change on Wednesday. I really look forward to Windsor. Nicola - thank you for all your kind and encouraging words.


Today Simon has:

Listened to The Sounds and Katy Perry on Myspace
Read not much but written loads
Noticed that GAME reminds him of that working is the best thing in the world

How to Keep Girls

This has to be one of the funniest ads that has been made. Ever. I feel a bit sorry for the girl though...



Today Simon has:

Listened to Andrew Marr in the morning
Read the Sunday Times (well, I bought it)
Noticed that Lewis Hamilton is awesome. Nicole Scherzinger should be proud.

Multitasking

Is actually both challenging and fun. My world is definitely better with a lot to do than nothing to do. I am just praying that the quality will be good in all that I do - and that people will enjoy working with me.


Today Simon has:

Listened to Big in Japan by Alphaville
Read, not really. I bought The Times - but I have yet to read it.
Noticed that the new morning gym routine is great!
