I'm awake and feel the ache

Title of the post is quoting Regina Spektor song: Field Below
It is only a day now until our graduation day here in Sweden. 
I am starting to really feel the pain.  I don't want it to end.
But all good things have to end at some point in time.
Today we had a fun picture taken of the graduating class,
 the pictures theme was gods. 
 I was Medusa if you didn't get it. 
My snakes are attacking Olle. 
More pictures of everyone to come.

I didn't feel like dancing out today. 
I don't feel like dancing so much lately because
club dancing isn't nearly as great as ballet... which I miss. 

Good Night
love
Sigrid

At Peace


Today I biked home it was probably about 2:30 in the morning here in Sweden. Because it is summertime in Sweden the darkest color of the sky is a deep beautiful blue at night.  As I was biking in the street I saw a cat that fast walked across the street.   (You know when cats aren't technically running, but their feet are moving really fast as they walk.)  I started biking down the street it was on,  it walkedran on the sidewalk and I biked in the street. 
 It contemplated just leaving me but didn't. We were parallel each other by this time, sidewalk and street a good 7 or 8 feet away.  I would bike and it would fast walk on the other side of the street even with my bike.  There would be parked cars that made it so that I would only see the cat parallel with me between the gaps.  
After we made it all the way down the street I had inched closer and closer with my bike trying to get so close that I could hop off and pet it.  The kitty ran into the barren street and I meowed at it to come back (cuz I speak cat for those of you who didn't know ;)  The sweet kitty responded with a meow and rolled on it's back but as I inched closer it started to leave.  I could tell it probably wanted to be pet, but it didn't know or trust me all too well so I never got to pet it.

There is something about Sweden at three o' clock in the morning that makes me fall in love with this place all over again.  The fresh air, the dim pale blue shaded sky, and the birds chattering and talking to each other.
When it is three at night I usually observe everything more... it is like I am looking at everything from a different set of eyes.  I take in all of my surroundings better. So when I got home and pulled up to my street on my bike, I stopped for a second because a bird nearby was chirping all symphony of assorted chirps and then I heard another bird answer it's call.  It was hard to hear just these two birds talking to each other because there were many other birds talking and singing and such.  But these two birds caught my attention with their distinct chirp and how it was never the same but had some patterns to it.
I could have stood there for hours just listening to these two birds talk.  Nature is breathtaking. 

I love this photo I took that was almost an accident as I was sitting in the car on the way home from the country house.  I was playing with aperture settings and such, but I didnt even realize there was a horse there.  I love the motion of the grass and the stillness of the horse.  

P. S.
All photography is mine unless stated otherwise!

Ball Favorites

Okay so EVERYONE was gorgeous at the Ball this year.  But I have to just post the winners of my categories; Best Dress, Best Hair, Best All Around, and Best Pair. 

Best Dress


Cerefie wins best dress for many reasons, one because it is crazy fusha pink, which I love.  Two because it was hand made for her by her grandma.  And three because it was the one dress that really stood out the most and not everyone would have been able to pull it off, only Cerefie because she is amazing. There were so many intricate details and little rosettes and diamonds on it, that I wish I had a better picture of it because it was so stunning in person!  She also had a cute matching drawstring bag! <3

Sophia's blue dress with Diamonds and a one shoulder strap wins a close second! So Beautiful! 



Best Hair
Lina definitly had the most intricate and beautiful hair at the ball! I loved it so much.  I want her hair, it is the perfect color and the perfect length <3 She was so stunning! 

Best All Around
Lydia is Best all around because she has the best hair the best dress everything was perfect and she looked like a million bucks. Super classy! <3 If there was a Ball king and queen her and her boyfriend would have won for sure. <33

Best Pair


Johannes and Erika were the best pair.  Hannes looked super sharp and dashing in all black and Erika was gorgeous in her red dress with a sheer black over lay that made it look wine red.  They win best couple because they are a real couple and they are adorable.

These two come in a close second for best pair

- ALL PICS TAKEN FROM FACEBOOK -
The Ball was alot of fun. And for the record everyone was less the amazing looking.  These were just a few personal favs! <3  If I had time I would put everyone in a category! 

Love Sigrid

are you mistunderstood soul?









Today was great because someone found my phone! =) I love friendly people in the world.
It was also great because Olle and I kicked ass on our 10 (19:05) minute project!!
Also I had dinner with the whole Smus Klass, and we were at Stinas pappas reseraunt. 
Amazing food as always. And amazing people as always.
I got a suprise present, a picture of the whole class.  I am going to get it framed and treasure it for as long as I live.  There isn't a second in my life that I will forget all the friends and memories I have made here.

I love you all so much.
As for the photos It is a photo diary that I have been meaning to post for a while now.  The theme is finding oneself.  I hope you liked. 
Comment!
Love Sigrid
