Career planning

Tomorrow I'll be talking to a bunch of students about LTU Karriär and career in general. Career is an interesting topic to talk about. I've met people who are 60 years old and still have no clue of what they want to do when they "grow up". So why would I be any wiser at 25? I don't think we should know what we want to do when we grow up. What we should think about is where we want to go next. I mean if you have decided on a career path and really know where you should be heading, good for you! Don't get me wrong, of course there are people who, at the age of 5, are certain they know what they will do with their lives. I wanted to be a pony. That didn't work out too well for me - for obvious reasons.

What I mean is that dreams change and evolve. What I know now is that I love my current job and I'm planning my next step within my current job. I have no idea from which job I'll retire when I'm 65 and I don't really care. I can only hope it will be my dream job, even though I have no clue what my dream job will be when I'm that age. Maybe I wish to be a pony - again. And who knows about the technology in 40 years time.. Who knows, I might become a pony after all!

Networking - that is what I've been up to this week

It has been a busy week I have to say. On wednesday we arranged LTU@Work, which is a matchmaking event for students and companies. It went well, but boy was I tired afterwards. Thank god I have great colleagues and work partners (ExjobbLuleå). It was a blast!

Yesterday was Internetbay Partnering Event, which meant tons of networking and interesting and inspiring presentations. One of the best presentations was Mikael Genberg as he described his life mission: to get a red cottage/house on the moon. Let's hope he succeeds!

Today we are going to Finland to plan the wedding with mom, my best friend and my sister. 

Geneva, Switzerland

Paris, France

Here are a few pictures from out trip to Paris last june

Whose wedding is it anyway?

My mother and I don't always see eye to eye on things concerning this wedding. MY wedding I might add. I am my mother's daughter, but unfortunately my mother has much more experience in being a jackass than me. After all, she has been doing this 19 years longer than me ;)

So, we have went from a small ceremony at the City hall to mom booking the Oulu Cathedral for the wedding. It is a beautiful and HUGE cathedral, so I'm not really complaining.

Isn't it beautiful?

Diamonds are forever

So now the church is booked, as well as food and the venue. The guest list is aaaalmost done, but thankfully there is still time ;) I have to say that I love my engagement ring. I didn't think I'd want diamonds, but after some consideration.. well maybe they could be my best friends after all. I have to admit.. I looove seeing them shine! When Peter and I get married, I want the biggest diamond they have! Well maybe not.. 

Every girls needs a little bling
