An involuntary break.

This week has been incredibly intense with #societyhack15. We had 48h to come up with a solution for Transdev on how to develop the public transport, make it more attractive and encourage people to take the train instead of the car. Yesterday they presented the winners and they picked out 2 runner ups and oneContinue reading “An involuntary break.”

10 hours in the E.R

Headed out last night for a run with my friend. I was going to teach him running technique and then do intervals. During the technique lesson I put down my left foot and pushed away and all I heard was: KRAKALAKK KNAK Something went terribly wrong. It hurt of course but it was a surmountableContinue reading “10 hours in the E.R”

DIY Laptop Table

Two hours, several machines, nails and grinding later – and I’ve got myself a perfectly unstable computer-table! My own legs act as stabilizers. Movie-watching in bed has never been easier! What’s more important though is the fact that the computer won’t get over-heated. The main-panel is an old piece of floor and the pillars are two pieces thatContinue reading “DIY Laptop Table”

Somewhere in a pile of a thousand post-its….

…millions of ideas and stress-hormones – you’ll find me. Almost the whole class went to Hornhuset on Tuesday night to support our eccentric, brave, brilliant friend Hank to hear him sing with his band EVA on their first gig ever. He jumped up on the bar, jumped in a bed, took his shirt off (theContinue reading “Somewhere in a pile of a thousand post-its….”

What A Weekend

After a long week at school with projection mapping, arduinos, Light Blue Beans, coding, 3-D printing, and a commercial at that, Friday held the promise of wine and fine company. We started at Queen’s Head, 15 people from the class, then we headed to Lilla Hotellbaren where more people joined and some of my missed friendsContinue reading “What A Weekend”

Commercial Filming

Was yanked out of my sleep at 4.45 and headed to location at Mariatorget to shoot a commercial. A quite easy shoot for me, few lines and what not, and despite that I got a tad nervous before we started. What’s interesting though is that as soon as I step in front of the camera, andContinue reading “Commercial Filming”

My new laptop-backpack by In Bag We Trust

I wanted a laptop-backpack, these were my criterions: – Leather with gold-details – Laptop-pocket – Big enough to fit my work-out clothes + lunchbox – Extra pockets I’m picky and buy things very seldom, therefore my perfectionist-heart took another skip when it found exactly what it had been looking for. I bought this beauty via Etsy from InContinue reading “My new laptop-backpack by In Bag We Trust”

Tangy Lime Tart by Hippie Lane

We celebrated my forever-young father last Sunday and for that occasion I made a raw-cake. This time I did not come up with the recipe myself but created the cake, oh sorry, TART, from the Hippie Lane App. I was sceptic about the lime/avokado mixture but with some extra sweetener and vanilla I got ridContinue reading “Tangy Lime Tart by Hippie Lane”

Fun times at Hyper + Our Manifesto

Last Friday was hilarious. Me and my team presented our manifesto = guidelines for how we want our time at Hyper to be and how we should be towards each other. An example: “The Mullet” – Business in the front, party in the back. Ok, two examples because they are funny and legit: “Eat challengeContinue reading “Fun times at Hyper + Our Manifesto”

Presentation Technique

To progress as a human it is fundamental to step out of ones comfort zones. It could be as simple as daring to walk up to a cute person in a bar or to present in front of X numbers of humans. Thanks to school I got to meet and learn from Ilene Sawka. AContinue reading “Presentation Technique”

Group Dynamics

There are 50 of us in my class. We have 50 different values, backgrounds, experiences, ways to view the world. We have left the honey-moon faze in our group and people have retreated into being individuals within the group. This means a lot of frustration, irritation, and patronizing bubble up to the surface. Attending thisContinue reading “Group Dynamics”

Susan Miller Horoscope

The last couple of months I’ve read my horoscope via Susan Miller. I don’t know why I do it, maybe because it’s intriguing to get a hunch of what the future holds? According to the stars and planets, September holds incredible career-opportunities for a Sagittarius like me. Thus far, I have to admit, the horoscopeContinue reading “Susan Miller Horoscope”

HI100

Last Monday our program managers at Hyper Island gave us a brief. The brief was to create a list of the one hundred  companies which we find most attractive to work for. Along with that our task was to create an event for Friday. Needless to say, 260 brains started whizzing and buzzing. Then our PM’sContinue reading “HI100”

Into The Way Out Secret Cosmic Grinda Island

The 15th of August I, quite spontaneously, joined some of my classies to go to a one-day festival at Grinda. I had no idea what to expect and I guess I never could have expected what came before me anyway. The day was amazing, a brilliant Swedish summer’s day, which turned into evening with booze andContinue reading “Into The Way Out Secret Cosmic Grinda Island”

Tough Viking and No storage left

When I don’t write for a long time it’s as if my brain stocks up on all the events, experiences and learnings, till’ right about now – when the storage is full. Then I need to RELEASE, like a wild waterfall released from a dam. Last Saturday I ran Tough Viking and now my armsContinue reading “Tough Viking and No storage left”

UNICEF – First brief

An intense week at Hyper Island; “Ideation Week”. This is when we learn how to both build ideas but also narrow them down. This is the week when we got our FIRST BRIEF EVER from a real client! Stoked to say the least!…And it could not have been for a better cause either. We are bendingContinue reading “UNICEF – First brief”

Perseid “Shower”

Dad, Jake and I headed out on a perseid hunt last Thursday. Perhaps we went out too early, but to be the peak of the perseid-shower it was kind of a disappointment. Except from that I got to test my camera on a starry sky and I was baffled once again by this amazing machine.Continue reading “Perseid “Shower””

Horses & a Brave Mama

Mamma sits up on young wild horses and challenges herself everyday, pushing her boundaries with those big creatures. She is so brave and makes me ridiculously proud. She ignites my own will to constantly challenge myself, no matter what it is. The best gift a daughter can get. 

Not Too Cool For School

 I have a crush on school. Lucky me to have a crush on something hehe. Today was sweet, we are working with the other programs for a couple of weeks and meeting some of those guys was great, although it felt rough to pop the solitude-bubble of my class…=( We got to take part ofContinue reading “Not Too Cool For School”

The day before Hyper

I was lucky last Sunday. I did not want to spend the day in nervous-excitement over beginning Hyper the day after, doing nothing. But luckily Elsa was heading to her family on Ekerö and I got to come with her! Off we went and when we arrived the sun was shining, everything good, till’ BOOM theContinue reading “The day before Hyper”

An evening of unexpected events

Lina came to me Saturday night. After a couple of hours of talking about everything new for me and about how she learns new things as a summer-stewardess I decided to go take a swim. Lina joined and after a while a couple of boys flew past us on their bikes. I said “just likeContinue reading “An evening of unexpected events”

The Talks

I want to encourage anyone interested in art/film/music/food/ yadiyada to explore this: http://the-talks.com An online magazine created by Johannes Bonke and Sven Schumann. They meet with inspiring people and ask interesting questions. Great reads and for me it’s interesting to get to dive into the mind’s of hotshots within each area. Here’s the interview with MerylContinue reading “The Talks”

A Lazy Happy Content Wreck

Wow. What a week. I am too tired/hungover to write something even close to intelligent or reflective. But all and all, I could not be happier with how this week flourished into something ‘utterly brilliant I must say’! All my classies are amazing in their own way’s and the school is beyond anything I’ve everContinue reading “A Lazy Happy Content Wreck”

I got about three hours of interrupted sleep. The urge to start took over. The excitement is even stronger now,Continue reading “First Day of School – Hyper Island, Digital Media Creative”

Last Saturday

Ebba’s birthday + her moving away gathering. She’s spreading her wings and heads in the direction of the north to study. May the White Walkers forever stay away from you. It was one of those nights with old friends and new friends. ….with discussions on heavier topics – feminism, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression. …. withContinue reading “Last Saturday”

High in spirit

Back in my room, staring at the rain pouring rigorously, landing softly onto the newly sprung apples.  What a change of environment and surroundings can do to one’s soul. With high spirits, tanned skin and sun in our eyes we landed here in Sweden. With us brought we the tingling knowledge of that 4 hours fromContinue reading “High in spirit”
