Good news
Just found out that I'm off from the 5th-18th of April. But it means I have to work extra hours next week, but I'm okay with that! Can't wait to have some time off again, no idea what my plans are. Hoping someone can come visit me in London!
Working late today like every other day this week. But I'm okay with that, haven't got any plans anyway. Just looking forward to the weekend. I need a big glas of wine tomorrow night! Hasn't been very fun working while having the worst cold and also having these awful migraine attacks. But tomorrows friday, can't wait!
Back to work
Feel so week and tired after the weekend, but I guess it's my own fault really! Had a good weekend, started of with drinks in Putney friday night with Ida and Rebecka. Always nice getting to know more people here in London. Got home so late friday, 6 in the morning haha! So didn't even go to bed, just had a shower, two cups of coffe and then I got on the bus to Cardiff!
Had a few things to do in Cardiff, then my cousin had a house party in the evening. It was a good night. But I'm glad to be back in London. Also, my mum booked tickets today so she will be back in London in a few weeks. Can't wait to have my mum here again!
Can't wait to move to Cardiff in September, uni life is so fun!
Summer 2015
Okay, so I know it's only march. But I can't wait for the summer. To just hang out with my friends and family. I miss them all so much and feels so good that I get to spend a whole summer with them before uni starts in September.
Love looking at all these old summer memories. The first four pictures is from the boat I worked on a few summers ago. I actually talked to my old boss yesterday, and I may be working there this summer too. Nothing decided yet, but I hope it all works out!
The end of something beautiful
So today I had to sit down and really figure out what I'm doing for the summer, and it looks like I'm going to spend it in Sweden! As most of you know, this isn't really want I wanted. But, it's just easier going back to Sweden for two months and maybe, earn some money. That's if I get a job! But at least I get to spend loads of time with friends and family. So in about 3 months I'm on a plane back to Sweden.
Can't believe that my Aupair year is coming to an end. Now I'm just so excited for university!
Me and Kajsa from the other day!
My weekend
A night out in Angel, a walk to Battersea park with Kajsa and drinks at mine saturday evening. Feels like forever since I was London for a weekend. So it was nice to finally be back, this weekend reminded me a lot of why I love living here. London, you are amazing!
Throwback Thursday
Studenten. I've been so nostalgic the past few days, specially when I found all of these photos from my graduation in Sweden. It was such a happy day. I finally got to step out into the world and make my own decisions. I would have never believed back then that I am going study in Cardiff. Life has been one crazy ride since that day, and I have grown into this strong and independent person. And I kind of like her! For so long I struggled with the uncertainty about who I was and where I wanted to be. It was so hard to make decisions and trust people, when I couldn't trust myself. But that has changed now. I know who I am, and I finally now were I want to be.
An extra day off
So as I am leaving the hole Aupair life in London soon, my blog is going to be more about my university life. Or what I should really write, my preparation for University. It's not just applying, getting in and then it's done. There is so much more to do. Like applying for student halls, loans and the list goes on... and of course, it's more complicated for me as I am a EU student.
Anyways, I have finally applied to halls in Cardiff, and my loan from Sweden is all set! On Saturday I have an interview to get a "National Insurance number" witch is something you need if you want to work or study here in the UK. Feels good that I'm finally getting everything ready and set for September. Don't think I can relax until everything is done.
So it turned out that my host family gave me the wrong date, so they didn't come home today. They will be home tomorrow morning instead. Always nice to have an extra day off I guess. I haven't done much really, but it was nice to just relax. Tomorrow it's back to work for real. Not looking forward to it, but what can you do!
Night night everyone! xx
So excited
Okay so life has been crazy lately. I decided to put my blog aside for while, and focus on my uni application. So you all know that I applied to universities here in the UK, and guess what? I GOT IN. So in September I'm studying media production in Cardiff. I'm basically down in Cardiff every weekend anyway, so I might as well just move down there! I am so excited and thankful for this opportunity. It's been my dream for so long to actually study in the UK, I'm now I'm here. Still can't believe it.
Tomorrow my holiday ends, basically been off for two weeks, and guess were I spent most of my time? Wales.. of course. The first week Elin came all the way from Sweden, and we spend a few days in Wales. She left the Wednesday and I stayed the rest of the week with Ash. A lot of partying, and not a lot of sleep. That pretty much sums up my past few weeks. But I've had so much fun. So nice to just live for a bit, and not have to work. But tomorrow I'm back to work, only a few more months to go then I'm done with the Aupair job in London. As much as I love the kids I'm working with, I am actually really done with the Aupair life. A year is definitely enough for me!
Well I'm going to watch another episode of The walkind dead, trying to catch up. Missed so much! So I'm off. Feels good to be back.
Oxford Street
Started my day off just right. I'll show you letar what I bought. Have some stuff to do know, like cleaning my messy room. So I'll do that until it's time to pick up the little one, pls can I have good kids today? Hope you have a lovely day, and hope you all have fun tonight. Sadly, I'm working. So I wont be able to go out, but I'm up early tomorrow so it's probaby for the best. I'll be back tonight to show you the two dresses I bought!
A long road ahead
My application is finally sent in, and I can relax, kind of. There's a long road ahead. I hope that I will have the opportunity to study here in he UK. It's been my dream for so long, so I hope everything works out. With money as well. So fingers crossed! Wish me luck everyone, because I'm going to need it!
Love, Julia

Friday
Christmas in once again over, and next week I'm back in London. I actually miss London a lot. It's always lovely to spend some time with friends and family, but this town... I just don't feel like home here anymore. Going out last night made me realize that I don'thave fun here anymore, not like before. Oh well, but like I said. I do love seing al my wonderful friends again, just wish I could have them with me to London next week. Well I'm off, already late. Have a lovely weekend my friends.
Love, Julia.
Merry Christmas
After only a few days in Sweden I already miss England, but it's nice to be with my family and friends. Yesterday we did some Christmas shopping at Erikslund Shopping centre, and while I was there I went by IKEA and met some old workmates. Today it's "Julafton", which is the day the swedes celebrate Christmas. We don't do much today really, just chill really and get ready for tomorrow.
Anyway, just wanted to check in and say that everything is ok with me, and I hope you are enjoying the holidays. Merry Christmas everyone, sending my love to all of you.

She's just begging for that back
"Maybe it just got to be too much for her? Maybe she got scared of needing someone too much, because she gives herself so selflessly to the people she cares for, and she's just begging for that back"
Late night uni research
So you all know I've been in wales just recently. Obviously I went to Wales too see my cousin, but I also wanted to see if Wales was somewhere I would like to study. To be honest, I fell in love with Cardiff and Wales. Such a beautiful country and Cardiff is just amazing. So I looked at Cardiff University, but unfortunately they didn't have anything for me. But I did find a course at the same uni my cousin goes to, and that course is in Cardiff, which is kind of perfect!? But I'm not 100% sure yet. So I'll just have to see. There is obsiously other places in wales then just Cardiff, but like I said i'm still doing loads of research. Also working on my personal statement, that's probably all I'm going to do this week.
Anyway, hope you all had a good weekend. I'm going to take a break from the hole uni research and try to catch up with the latest vampire diaries, goodnight everyone. xx
In two weeks I'll be sitting with my dad, drinking a cup a tea and just talking about life. I really miss my dad right now!
We are just trying to find happiness
Yesterday was good, so nice to see everyone again. Working tonight, but the kids are in bed and I'm just chilling in front of the computer. TRYING to watch The vampire diaries, but it's so slow, so do you guys have any tips on where you can watch tv series online? The webside I used before is now blocked for some reason, so if you know a better one that would be great, thanks!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend xx
Tori Kelly - In my head
Every little glance my way
Every time you wanted to hang
You seemed so interested
Could you tell me was it real or was it all in my head
Was it real or was it fake?
Was it all a mistake?
Boy, I just gotta know was it all in my head?
Did you ever feel the same?
Was my mind just playing games?
Time for me to move on now it was probably just a silly crush anyway
But I just cant help but think that we, we could've had something
Some of my favorite lyrics from Tori Kellys song, All in my head. Really want to see her now when she is on tour with Sam Smith. Well, I'm off to bed. Feels good to be back on track with my blog, and like I said before I'm always here if you have any questions about the Aupair/London life.
Stay positive
You know when you have so much to think about, like with work or just in general, and you just forget to take care of yourself. Yeah well that's kind of me lately. Haven't been sleeping much, and barely eating. But I'm only human and I can only take so much. But i'm SO GLAD this month is over, so I can close that chapter and start a new one. Also i'm so looking forward to new years, a new beginning. That's the reason why I haven't really posted anything on my blog lately, and I know it's not just this month. BUT I do really want to continue with my blog, I love it. And like I always say, I'm always here if you need tips about the aupair life, living in London and so on. Just give me a shout if you need help.
Work lately has been a lot. Mostly because the my host family had some friends over from LA, so they were out a lot and I took care of 4 kids instead of 3. But it was ok, I got the friday of instead to go to Josh.
Anyway, hope you all had a good weekend, don't worry it's soon friday again haha xx
This girl, omg, she is AMAZING. The support she has given me the past few days, we all know that everyone goes through some tough times in their life. It's normal. And what we need is friends like this girl, because I could honestly say, she saved me so many times. I owe her so much. I can break down, I could probably hit rock bottom but she would still manage to bring me right back up. Miss her so so so much.
Ugly heart
So my trip to Treforest didn't really turn out how I expected it to be, but I had a good time anyway with good friends, and like I said, it's always nice to get away from London a little while. But now it's just so good to be back here, not at work really, but in London.
Roadtrip
So I fell in love with this little town called Winchester.
Back on track
Had an okay weekend in treforest, but not fun coming back to work, and to sick kids. But apart from that, the kids have been lovely today. They were so happy to see me after the weekend. I'll post some photos from the weekend when I get the time. But now I have to get my life back on track, focus on work and my uni applications. Feels like I've been so un focused lataly, just been a really bad month to be honest. But shit happens, and I always manage to move on somehow.
So from now on my blog will be in English, which is probably fine because most of my readers speak English anyway. But it's more for me then anyone, to improve my writing.... and I might as well anyway as I speak English everyday.
G.R.L - Ugly heart
This song is so perfect right now, just love it
