2009 Summary

Well... 2009 wasn't that bad of a year was it?

The year started out well with a very nice New Years Seminar in Gothenburg with Ulf Evenås. And some fun events with people being able to touch their toes with their when I was doing koshinage on them!
And a week later I started my fist university course... Studying comics drawing! Not the best of courses, but I got 30 ECTS credits in art. But ofcourse I get stuck with a fever for a whole week in february! But lucky me, I could watch trough all 7 seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer then!
And I had the courage to tell someone a little secret ;) Well, not the biggest secret because I think he already knew...
Aikidowise the year followed with a great seminar in Malmö with Lars Göran Andersson and Jan Hermansson! And around this time I lived on my own for the first time as I rented a flat second hand from a friend going to Japan.
When summer came and I finished my course in art and did my 4th kyu examination and it went well. I decided to stay in uni during the summer doing Drama (7,5 ECTS scores) and english creative writing (15 ECTS scores), also had the time for 3 Uchi Deshi weeks with Lasse!
Other than getting to know new Aikido people and getting a few friends in Karlstad (and losing a few) the summer was nice and warm, espcielly the day we had an aikido demonstration in Sysslebäck!
I think thats the best way to get rid of skin under your feet ;p
And taking a bath in Klarälven to cool down ceased in another week of fever... But hey, another week of Buffy wasn't that bad really!

Autumn came sneaking up on me with a very hectical schedule!
First: a new flat.. Bought, which means.. House loan.
Second: Got into 2 different Litterature courses at Högskolan in Halmstad (7,5 ECTS each) 15 ECTS bussiness economics in Karlstad and 7,5 ECTS of animation (which was one of the most amazing courses I have ever taken so far! And of course, a crush on the teacher! ;) hehe
Third: A very hectucal period of 3 weekends on the go, first down to Gothenburg for the Book fair, the weekend after down to Halmstad for a very well performed Aikido seminar and the third weekend down to Malmö and Copenhagen for a Green Day concert!

All that happening in the middle of renovating the flat, and the autumn turned out rather hectical, and Aikido also got a bit hectical with around 20 kids at each childrens class! Which on the other hand have been extremely fun!

The autumn went past in about the same pace, and christmas came. Ending the year with a surprise examination for 3rd kyu and a Christmas seminar at Arvika Aikido Dojo the year ended quite well.

Now I have no expectations for the new year, I think it will be about the same as the year that has already been, but hey.. I'm gonna rock even harder this year!!!
