🇬🇧 Weeks 🇬🇧

April 13th-19th Week 11 was one of those weeks where meetings, deadlines, and creative work all seemed to happen at once. I was finishing videos, attending meetings, updating student lists, and also trying to catch up on my blog again after a few months of barely keeping up with it. A lot was happening, but in a good, forward-moving kind of way.

April 6th-12th Week 10 felt like a softer week overall, because Easter break shifted the work rhythm a little and gave the days a more flexible shape. Even so, there was still plenty to do, especially with video editing and keeping track of the international email, so it was not exactly a full holiday week either.

March 30th-April 5th Week 9 was very much a decision-making week. Erasmus applications were moving toward their final outcomes, which meant letters, Excel tables, emails, and a lot of careful checking. It was busy, but also satisfying in that “okay, now things are actually being finished” sort of way.

March 23rd-29th Week 8 was a little more office-focused again, but in a way that felt productive rather than repetitive. There were lots of different smaller tasks, a few bigger project-related jobs, and just enough variety to keep the week moving nicely from one day to the next.

March 16th-22rd This week felt like one of those in-between weeks where the work becomes familiar enough that you stop panicking about every little thing, but busy enough that you still never quite sit still. I was moving between Infodesk-duty, emails, flyers, presentations, and the usual daily office rhythm, which made the week feel full without being completely overwhelming.

March 9th-13th After the rush of Erasmus deadlines, this week finally settled into a more structured rhythm. There was still plenty to do, of course, but this week felt more like learning the ropes in different corners of the office — the kind of week where you slowly start understanding not just what to do, but why everything is happening in the first place.

March 2nd-8th After a week full of routines, repetition, and Fika-fueled focus, March suddenly brought a bit more chaos — in the best possible way. It was one of those weeks where the inbox never really stopped, deadlines kept creeping closer, and somehow every day still found a way to be a little different from the last.

This week was all about one thing: the application deadline for international students applying through Erasmus. The vibe? Emails, Excel, and a lot of copy‑paste magic. Monday, the main task of the week was checking Erasmus applications. Over and over. And over. I spent most of the day going through each application: making sure all information was there while copying names, emails, home universities, coordinators, YouTube links and programmes into my beautiful pastel‑coloure

After a week full of routines, repetition, and fika-fueled focus, Week 3 brought a bit more variety — new meetings, small adventures, and the satisfying kind of busy that makes the days fly by. Stockholm skyline from the Tunnelbana Week 3 rolled in with a sense of “Okay, I officially work here now.” The routines are falling into place, faces are familiar, and even Excel seems to have accepted me as one of its own (well… most days). Monday started busy — juggling the Internat

After the whirlwind of coffee-fueled chaos, new faces, and tech hiccups in Week 1, things finally slowed down a little. This week felt more like the calm montage part of a movie — the one where you’ve stopped running in circles, started finding your rhythm, and maybe even mastered not getting lost (well… most of the time). Swedish efficiency, as it turns out, applies to everything — even inboxes. My work-space Monday started off with a long to-do list and a cup of very neces

February 2nd-8th I dont even know where to start. This first week was full of grant impressions, new colleagues and a lot of little and little bigger issues.

Mission: Finding a Place in Stockholm (almost) impossible After a long and at times nerve‑wracking apartment hunt in Stockholm – full of rejections, ghosting and slightly sketchy offers – I finally found my place through the platform “Qasa”. The relief was huge when it turned out that I hadn’t just found a room, but a real home away from home for the next few months. ​ My guinea pig household I’ll be living with a mum, her 18‑year‑old son and several guinea pigs – so somewhe

Finding an internship... Landing an internship in Sweden – how hard could it be? I thought. Plot twist: pretty hard. In Sweden, it feels like there are more cinnamon buns than officially advertised internships – especially in public administration. While other countries bombard you with listings, Sweden hits you with empty search results and the existential question: “Do internships here even exist , or are they just a myth locals tell each other over fika?” So I started send
