Gotten five-six hours sleep in total the last two days. But for some reason I am quite awake atm :V And there seems to be some sort of trainchaos all over Sweden, the trains we where supposed to have were cancelled because of the weather. And the train we did have was 12 hours late when we got it and we had to take a much longer route than usual and getting the papers on that took forever. Train arrived 2330 but getting the paper took an other half hour or so. Normally we get them via computer but since so many trains were being lead different ways the system was failing so we got them faxed instead (a bit shocked that people still do use faxes ). And when we almost were home home they called and said that it had to take a different route later on too. But since noone had told the next engineer we had to do so, poor guy. But he got some heads up as opposed to us. Though I feel more sorry for the guy we took the train norht with. His locomotive broke down Both pantographs(?) broke so he was stuck with no electricity, meaning no heat, in the middle of nowhere.
Also I got dropped off on the station before we are supposed to end our tour since there are no buses this time of night. So I stopped by the platform and he left. You can't cross the rails to get off there, you have to use an underground passage which they apparently have started locking at night. Meaning I had to either climb a fence that goes to my shoulder (impossible for me) or walk alongside the rails for about half a kilometre, then walk trough some rose hip bushes growing at really steep ground, follow a ledge, one side more spiky rose hip bushes, at the other the very high ledge, and then jump down the ledge when it became a more decent hight, about 1,7 metres. Also, fun fact about rose hips. The berries contain a powder that often is used as itching powder by pranking kids. Yeah, both the itching and the thorns..
I hate getting rose hips power on my skin. It itches, burns and is hard to get off even with soap. I don't even want to image what had to have been like for you have to walk all that way in the middle of the night, tired and covered with rose hips. That had to have been awful.

*hugs* I really, really hope things will be okay. It'll take awhile, I'm sure.

I'm not sure if the hangover's making me feel more neurotic about this essay, or if my neurosis concerning the essay is making the hangover headache worse.
Finals suck major ass. Especially when I found out that the highest grade one can get in the course is 1/3 of a letter grade above your exam averages. WTF what type of class does that?!
"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."
