I wish I was in New Orleans...

Today I felt completely free and in control of myself. I think it must be the sun and the twittering of birds that is doing it... I found myself walking from Stureplan to Odelplan with a smile on my face. It's all going to be good. I am impressing myself with the school work I've been doing. Just reading mainly, but I have a hard time reading non-fiction. It's getting easier and easier though. I think it is all about what you are used to reading, and I think I'm getting used to it.

I met my friend Karla today for lunch. She seems to be a busy woman. I wish we would hang out more often. Today was really good. She is leaving to go back to the states and live in New Orleans for a while. I wish she would stay. I would love to come and visit her in New Orleans, i've always wanted to go. But i know I'll never get the opportunity. I can't see myself having the money, at least not if we don't move. And also, I can't see myself having the time. Now that I attend university I feel I was a bit spoiled before having 5 breaks from school per year (sportlov, påsklov, sommarlov, höstlov, jullov), now I only have two breaks. Christmas holidays and summer holidays. And I'll probably have to work...

For some reason the Tom Waits song "Oh I wish I was in New Orleans, I can see it in my dreams..." started going round and round in my head. I wonder why...
