You would not believe how hard it is to make these pictures happen :)

Näringslivets pris

So on friday I won tickets to Näringslivets pris, for the first part. I was contacted the day before that I had won tickets because my teacher had nominated me, and that made me happy! In total we were 5 students who had done a good job and won tickets for the gala. :) It was so inspirational, and I really feel like Luleå is the place to be right now. We are growing and becoming more international each day that passes. (So if you are planning on applying to a university, LTU is my recommendation. You still have until tomorrow ;) ) I love the fact that LTU takes care of its students, and they are working more and more on bringing students and businesses together. There is still work to be done, but it is going towards the right direction! 

This weekend has been good. Yesterday we celebrated Peter's birthday with good food and movies with friends, and today we have been tidying up the apartment and planning our future. I also went for a run, which has never been my thing. It is almost like my body has no idea how to. But maybe if I start running like once a week, I'll grow some running muscles  -  something I do not currently possess.  

And btw, if you like horror movies try Sinister! I almost died.

Light at the end of the tunnel!

Like I've mentioned about a thousand times, I really love Netflix. Today I felt like watching a series I really loved growing up: Ally Mcbeal. I was so sure I'd become a lawyer, which I had decided when I was about 9. When I was about 17 I started to study Business and Management, and when I was 18 I decided that that was the way I wanted to go. It was about the same time I "discovered" LTU. I wonder what my life would look like if I had chosen law at Rovaniemi or wherever? Scaaaary.. 

But anyway, today I finally finished my transcription process. That is the part where you take the interviews and put them on paper - or Word. 11 pages. 11. And now I have to decide what is relevant for analysis and my paper. Analyzing is my favorite part of the thesis, although I like each part quite a bit: introduction is fun because it gets you into the right "mood". Literature overview is extremely educating, but hard. It takes a lot of time and effort, but I like it nonetheless. Many hate the method chapter, but I looove it. Some call it "academic bullshit" but it is extremely important when making any kind of research! My fourth chapter, data presentation, is the part that I "finished" today. Now I'm going to take a small break and start analyzing. Wish me luck!
