Hi, I'm freaking out a little bit here. My plane for Paris leaves in 2 hrs and 15 mins and I'm so excited (+a little bit nervous) that I think I'm gonna burst! This means that in less than 24 hours I will be in Los Angeles.
How crazy is this???

i know a place, where the grass is really greener
Ask me if I'm nervous now.
The answer is yes. I don't know how this happened. Today it hit me though and now I'm nervous as hell. I'm mostly nervous about the short stay in Paris though, to be honest. Finding my way on the airport... from one terminal to another. All in less than one hour because I need to check in at least one hour before the plane to LA takes off. Apparently I need to go by bus from one terminal to another and yeah,
I'm just a bit stressed out. No big deal.
And I've been under the impression that flying from Paris to Los Angeles takes 10 hours. Apparently it takes 11 hours and 30 minutes... this makes me a bit worried as well. I'm a bit claustrophobic and I'm afraid I will start thinking about the fact that there's no way to "get out" once I'm up there. I'll just need to remind myself to breathe.
Had dinner with my family today and everyone wanted to chime in with suggestions, plans and ideas. LOL. I love them all but they're a bit insane. My aunt was planning all my outfits for me and asked me to get her a role in a movie. My grand pa was pretty much telling me to stay inside the whole time and not to anything because he's been watching CSI and all those shows and Los Angeles is an extremely dangerous place. My cousins' only demand is that I find Michael Jacksons star on the walk of fame, lie down on the ground and take a picture next to it.
There was a lot more but those were the main things. Can't wait to get home and all them all about my experiance on the other side of the world. <3
In 24 hours I will be on the plane towards Los Angeles and it'll be about nine hours left until we touch down at LAX.
It feels so unreal still. I'm super excited!

countdown: two days left
Had a really great evening with Kerstin and Fanny last night. Great music, great company, fun times. Love them both and I'm going to miss them while I'm in Cali! Now I'm off to eat dinner with my pears + siblings tonight. And tomorrow is dinner with the rest of the fam. My dad called today as well and wished me a great trip. Thursday was pizza + beer with a bunch of other friends. All of a sudden I feel super popular. I should go away more often. Haha. Today I've been doing laundry pretty much all day (gotta have some clean clothes in LA), tomorrow I'm going to pack... two days left. I'm dying a little bit out of excitement!

video music awards 2k10
Just now (read: a few moments ago) I thought to myself... why not check MTV's website and find out when/where the VMA's take place this year... because I thought maybe I get to watch it when I'm in the US. It's always on at 3 AM in Sweden and I always work a lot during September to I rarley ever stay up and watch it (+ the re-runs are always on at such weird times).
Then I see that this year the VMA's will take place in Los Angeles and I died a little bit out of excitement until I saw the date... September 12th.
That's the freaking day I go home! Hahaha. Just my luck. My plane leaves at 4.30 and the VMA's start at 9 PM. This sucks so much. I wish I could extend my trip a few days. I think it's possible with the travel agency but then, there's the money trouble. I've been forced to shorten my trip already because I wasn't able to save enough money to stay as long as I wanted to (damn those dentists for stealing my money!!)...
...but hey, maybe this means I'll bump in to a celeb or two at LAX when they're flying in to attend the party? :)

somebody pinch me!
Dear blog,
I'm going to California in six days.
Yes.
Six. Freaking. Days!!!!
Everyone and their mother keeps asking me these two questions about my trip to Cali and it's starting to really annoy me. One: Are you excited about the trip? Umm. This might just be the most stupid question ever. Of course I'm excited and if you knew me, you'd know that going to USA & especially California has been my dream for a very very long time now. So why wouldn't I be excited? LOL. I'm going to freaking Los Angeles what is there not to be excited about? Don't mean to sound rude but this question was fun to answer the first 50 times I was asked.
Second question: Am I nervous about the trip? To be quite honest. No. I'm not. I'm going half way around the world on my own. To another continent. To a place I've never been before. I'll be so far away from everyone I know. Live with someone I've never met before and yeah... I'm not nervous. Not yet. I think maybe it's because... it still doesn't feel real. I've bought the plane tickets, my bags are standing in my bed room waiting to be packed but I don't think I will actually understand that I'm going until I'm actually sitting on the plane. Then I'll most likely be nervous.
It's been my dream for so long so I don't know... maybe a part of me still thinks it's all just a dream?
