I'm such a ditz

I'm sitting here on the bus on my way to Stockholm for the weekend. I have a few things to do, more about them later.

First I want to say a big thank you to Dianna for the award you gave me. Now to figure out how to get it and post it here to my blog but maybe that is something to put on my to do list for Monday when I am back home.

This weekend I have an On Camera course to attend in Knivsta north of Stockholm and I'm quite excited about it but also a little nervous. Unless I totally mess up it might be the key to my future and what decisions I have to make about my career in the coming months. My job coach found this move very interesting and he thinks I can use the experience for quite a few things ahead so that's positive.

Last night I ran around like a chook with her head cut off packing my bags in order to not forget anything and yet I woke up this morning realising several things I had not yet packed so added them to my bags before heading off to work today. Still when I came back home in the afternoon I realised even more things I needed to pack so they were added as well and 10 minutes before the bus was due to leave I walked out my front door and headed for the busstop, only to get there and realise I still forgot 2 very important items. One of them being my knee bandages that I need for certain activities, such as running but I guess I will just have to trust that all the hard work at the gym has paid off and my knees will be stable enough to last this weekend's activities.
The other thing I left behind mustn't have been so important after all because right now I can't even recall what that was, hence why I think I'm a ditz. I just hope I don't wake up sometimes tonight thinking about it, lol.

After the course ends on Sunday I have to head back to Stockholm where I have an audition for a commercial. I hope the course will have paid off enough for me to do a good job at that one and maybe be signed on for my first job since I signed up to be an extra.

Looking out the window at the beautiful sunny and warm evening outside the bus, that is currently heading into Eskilstuna for the first and only stop along the way to Stockholm, I just know that no matter what the weekend has in store I will enjoy every minute of it as I have a passion for the entertainment industry and this is my one and only mini vacation from the office I have all summer.

My mother is joking with me about my ambitions and asking how long it'll be till she gets to see me on the big screen and I tell her one step at the time. I think I have to learn how to crawl before I try to run although it would be a dream come true to be a character in a movie or tv-series.

July already

Today is 2nd July and I'm wondering what happened to June as it feels like it only started yesterday. Guess having been extremely busy for weeks have made the time pass very quickly and now suddenly it feels like time is standing still as it is a quiet week at work.
I am glad it's Friday and that I will be able to head home in a couple of hours to enjoy my weekend.

I haven't really made any plans what I am going to be doing but I don't have any problems finding tasks either as it seems to be an endless supply of having to do laundry, dishes, cook, apply for more jobs as the one I have is just temporary until 15th October.
As it's summer I feel I also want to spend as much time as I can outdoors enjoying the sun and the warm weather. If nothing else I do need to stock up on Vitamin D as much as I possibly can.

Possibly I will also be helping my family with some furniture that needs to be moved from various locations. My brother is getting rid of a book case that we have decided dad needs so mum and I will help dad put it in place and rearrange his living room a bit. My brother will instead put other bookshelves in his apartment to replace the one he gets rid of and I suppose he needs some help to carry those as well.

Now to go have a cuppa with my colleagues before we say goodbye for the weekend and some are starting their vacations.
