Gallimatias - The beauty of words

From the beginning?

Since you don’t know me maybe I should begin from the beginning. I’m a girl from Sweden, who lived in a nice town up-north for many many years. I met a boy, I fell in love. Recently I moved south to a big city because my boyfriend got a job there and I’m just a student and could continue my education ”here”.I have moved a lot in my life and usually don’t have problems with relocating but this time it was one thing after another. My classmates literally sucked and I don’t know so many people in this town so it would have been nice to get to know someone. The courses were not what I expected and that was a big disappointment. Also I didn’t have a job when I just moved down so I had way to much free time.

I like to have much to do, get restless otherwise. Well that is all changing now and that’s why I’m so happy. I guess it always takes time to settle in but that it always works out if you hang in there.

Brighter days.

Today was a really good one! I’ve struggled a bit since I moved to this big city and questioned if it was the right thing to do. Today I felt like everything just fell into place for me. It’s really a wonderful feeling. I haven’t discussed these issues with my boyfriend because I didn’t want him to feel guilty for talking me into this. I took this decision on my own.

Right now I feel like I can be happy and build a life here. It’s like a big stone has been lift of m y shoulders. I have a really nice class now, only 8 people and we get along very well. I may even find some new friends ;P This Friday I’m also starting my new job, it’s very exciting and I feel that I need to have something more to do. You see I’m a natural at learning and today i found an equal in my class. You can’t imagine how happy I am right now… It’s like nothing can bring me down!

Hi everybody, this is sort of a challenge for me because English is not my first language. I don’t really know why I started a log in English but it seemed like the right thing to do at that time. Well welcome! I chose to name my web-log ”Gallimatias” because it does reflect the content on this one and personifies what todays’ web-log culture is all about.

As you may know, Gallimatias, means i Latin ”nonsense” or ”rubbish”. Because what is meaningful to me does not necessarily have to be meaningful to you. I hope you will join me on this journey. Until we meet again…
